This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology There is no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have also vanished An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by pollution 1.
