In a groundbreaking achievement, 22-year-old mechanical engineering student Thabiso Mokoena from the University of Limpopo has developed a water-powered car, an innovation that could revolutionize the automotive industry by providing an environmentally friendly alternative to petrol-fueled vehicles. This remarkable invention has garnered widespread attention locally and nationally, as it represents a potential clean energy solution in the global fight against climate change and dependence on fossil fuels.

Mokoena’s water-powered vehicle runs on a unique hydrogen fuel system that separates water (H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, using hydrogen to generate power for the engine. Unlike traditional internal combustion engines that rely on petrol or diesel, Mokoena’s creation taps into water’s potential to fuel the car in a much cleaner and more sustainable way.

“My goal was to find a solution to rising fuel costs and the environmental concerns associated with petrol consumption,” Mokoena explained during a demonstration of the vehicle. “Water is abundant, and by harnessing its potential, we can create a greener, more sustainable way to power vehicles.”

The prototype vehicle, which has been successfully tested in Mokoena’s hometown in Limpopo, is capable of reaching speeds comparable to traditional petrol-powered cars. Mokoena believes that with further refinement, this technology could be scaled up and improved to meet the demands of the commercial automotive market.

His innovation has sparked significant interest from academics, environmentalists, and the public, who view this project as a potential game-changer in the energy sector. While water-powered engines have been theorized and experimented with in the past, Mokoena’s success in building a functional model at such a young age has drawn widespread praise for its potential to reduce carbon emissions and make transportation more affordable for everyday people.

Local authorities have also taken notice, with the Limpopo Department of Education and Science and Technology commending Mokoena’s creativity. “This is the kind of innovation we need to support and nurture in South Africa. Our students are incredibly talented, and their inventions can place the country at the forefront of technological advancement,” said an official from the department.

Environmentalists have expressed excitement about the project, highlighting the potential for water-powered engines to reduce global reliance on fossil fuels. However, concerns remain about the scalability of the technology and its ability to perform under commercial conditions. Further research and investment will be necessary to determine whether water-powered vehicles could become a widespread reality.

Despite these challenges, Mokoena remains optimistic. “I believe that with the right support, we can continue improving this technology and develop more sustainable energy solutions,” he said.

The invention has already attracted interest from private investors and engineering firms eager to explore the possibility of commercializing the water-powered vehicle. As global attention increasingly focuses on eco-friendly technologies, Mokoena’s creation could pave the way for a future where water, not petrol, powers our daily commutes.
