It is difficult to predict even near future due to a rapid development in this era. However, apparently, many existing things will disappear and new things will appear in the world due to limited natural resources.  In particular, oil in Brazil is very expensive and one of the principal factor of air pollution. Today I would like to introduce an innovative invention, motorcycle which uses hydrogen as fuel instead of gasoline. I imagine that it could be possible the oil stations will disappear soon in near future.

Public officer named Ricardo Azevedo invents the motorcycle using water for propulsion in his garage, in Sao Paulo. This bike called Moto Power H?and this technology can apply to all other transportations such as trucks, buses, cars.

Let me introduce how this bike works briefly. The bike has a reservoir of water and a "craqueador" plays a role in separating the particles of hydrogen and oxygen in the water. The hydrogen goes to the carburetor and is used by engine as fuel, which has about three times more powerful combustion than that of petrol. The oxygen from this system is released into the atmosphere. The only point considered is that this motorcycle needs to be recharged after using 10hours. The inventor expects to increase the time before the recharging is necessary.

As we can see the process of this bike, this system will not emit pollutant like any other public transportations. Azevedo also states that a single liter of water can run motorcycles up to 500 kilometer and furthermore, any source of water can be used. People fill the bike with water from Tietê River which is a Brazilian river in the state of São Paulo.

However, this project is still ongoing to make these bikes possible in the public. The inventor considers this product has developed at about 70%. He traveled all day with this motorcycle and used the water during the development of the product while waiting the partners who can complete the project with him.

There are old model automobiles in Brazil so that the fumes from these cars cause serious air pollution. I am happy to see these kinds of articles to introduce people who aware of this kind of problems and find solution for better natural environment. I hope to this project could be done successfully.
