Humans can find an abundance of resources on earth. Water that sits idly in the oceans is the most abundant of these resources. Closer than we think, a way to use this water to make a cleaner and cheaper fuel has always been a dream.

Science fiction novels and movies have used the water-fuelled car as a standard prop. Writers have used this type of vehicle because it was the most fictional item they could think of. This belief is so because it seemed so implausible to make it a reality.

Authors like H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Piers Anthony have used these vehicles in their stories to generate a feeling of the futuristic and fantastic. Due to the laws of thermodynamics, the concept of the water-fuelled car seemed so preposterous. Little did they know that a water-fuelled car was on the horizon.

Using water as a fuel is much cleaner and safer for the environment. With the abundance of this resource, it would seem we would never run out. It would also save our wildlife and lands from constant drilling.

The atmosphere has long been deteriorating due to the chemicals that are put out by the burning of petrol. This is killing our world and creating a global warming effect. This will cause our world to see another ice age or worse.

Such harmful chemicals will not be generated using the water to create fuel. This will stop the drilling and polluting that comes with the fuels we are using now. The planet will then become healthy again.

Easier travel will be found with the use of water-fuelled engine. Airplanes, trains and boats will be regulated to water-fuel once it has been implemented into cars. By then, the best vehicle to own would be a water-fuelled boat, because of the never-ending source of fuel.

Inventors have taken ideas from science fiction writers for centuries. The telephone, the airplane, and the elevator were created by enthusiastic writers long before they became a physical reality. Inventions from the show “Star Trek” have become reality since the beginning of the show in the 1960’s by science fiction writer Gene Roddenberry.

The scientists who claim to have invented them took years to complete the items from science fiction. Leonardo Di Vinci first thought of the helicopter centuries before it finally became a reality. Copernicus dreamed of space travel well before it was ever a possibility.

As with most electronic devices, the Japanese have been the first to invent many of the electronic devices thought up by science fiction authors. The cell phone was created by Gene Roddenberry and advanced by Japanese companies. This is only once example of electronic science fiction becoming reality, the water-fuelled car is another.

Incredibly hard, the making of the water-fuelled car has been done. In Japan, a company is working on getting a patent for their concept. After getting the patent secured, it should not be long before everyone is driving a futuristic water-fuelled car.
