WATER HYBRID SYSTEM, AN

ALTERNATIVE TO PETROLEUM
Jakarta: Cars and motorcycles have the
long-term effect of destroying the environment
by depleting fossil fuel. On top of that, the
emissions released from the combustion
I
system of an automobile can also cause the
greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxlde are two greenhouse gases that
damage our earths atmosphere. They could
cause certain vegetation to die off, the snow
' caps to melt, and the earths atmospheric
temperature to increase.
Reducingthe amountofthesegreenhouse
gases will greatly help reduce these effects.
That is why we need an alternative for
ipetroleum.

The engine derives fuel from hydrogen and
Qoxygen, generated by the electrolysis of
water. The only by-product resulting from
the hydrogen and oxygen components of
combustion within the engine is water vapour.
Therefore, emissions are cleaner, with fewer
polluting particles, as reported by Jinali
Parekh.
The technology existed backin 1805 when
a Swiss inventor named Isaac de Rivaz made
the first car powered by water. There has been
