Islamabad, Jul 27 (IANS): A Pakistani engineer has built a car that runs on water, a feat that left onlookers astounded.

Engineer Waqar Ahmad drove his car using water as fuel Thursday during a demonstration for parliamentarians, scientists and students, Dawn reported from this Pakistan capital.

He said cars could be driven by a system fuelled by water instead of petrol or CNG.

The onlookers were taken aback when they saw it and a cabinet sub-committee lauded the 'Water Fuel Kit Project'.

Religious Affairs Minister Syed Khurshid Ahmad Shah, who heads the panel, said the engineer would have their full support.

The media report explained that the water fuelling system is a technology in which 'hydrogen bonding' with distilled water produces hydrogen gas to run the car.

Ahmad had earlier told Shah about the unique project and it was taken to the federal cabinet which asked its sub-committee to discuss it.

During the demonstration, Shah himself drove the car.

The minister said that Ahmad would be given complete security and the formula would be kept secure.

Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and Finance Minister Hafeez Shaikh value the project, he said.

"We own this project and are committed to successfully completing it," he was quoted as saying.

    Before you look askance at ideas like this 'water kit', know that under modern theories of cosmology the entire universe has arisen out of absolutely NOTHING. The reference to laws of conservation of energy and of thermodynamics by the author of an article calling it 'Bad Science' on the DAWN website shows him to be a virtual illiterate in modern physics. He refers to cold fusion and that is a good example of physicists with billions of dollars for hot fusion research at stake denying the reality of cold fusion on the grounds that it violates the laws of Physics, which is like rejecting Einstein's theories on the grounds that they violate Newton's Laws never mind the experimental evidence for cold fusion from thousands of experiments. Whether this 'water kit' idea is valid must be decided on the basis of practical demonstration, not theoretical preconceptions theories are meant to be overthrown by new and better theories and a theory for an empirically observed fact may not be created until much later.

    In the past there were bogus inventions of extracting petrol from green leaves. Running a vehicle from water is not new. It has been tried in most developed countries and they have come up with such cars. Just laughting at "the formula would be kept secure!!". By the way the car is running by using hydrogen gas.
