Pitch 1#

Edwin has always been interested in cars since the moment he knew there is
a thing called car in this world. He always dreams about designing a car. But
to become a car designer, it takes more than just a habit of collecting pretty
images of cars, which he does everyday.

The knowledge he has at the moment is not enough. He would like to know
more about how automotive designers in different countries design cars;
the methods they use when designing a car and the design stories behind
their cars. Also he would like to know about the new technology and new
materials in automotive design to make a car more sustainable, and what
would the car of the future look like and how people will use the car in the future.

Then he would like to design a car and submit to a competition. If the lightning
strikes the same person for a second time, he may get another red cup.

How to run your car on water? Hydrorunner

Our Technology – Hydrorunner – Double your Gas Mileage While Keeping it Green!

Hydrorunner’s hydrogen on demand retro-fit system is designed for any ICE
internal combustion or Diesel Engine. We create Hydrogen(H2 Gas) through the
process known as electrolysis or “cracking water” as it also known with no catalyst.
This is important to note because many catalysts that are used can cause
internal breakdown overtime of key engine components. The electrical current is
generated from the OEM’s unused power in the alternator. Note: no special
alternator is necessary to create HH gas. The HH gas is then pulled in by the
throttle plate vacuum into the intake manifold via the HYFSL (Hydrogen Fuel
Supply Line). The HH gas assists the combustion process with the onboard fuel
in a more efficient burn. This is achieved with the assistance of the secondary
computer which controls the flow of the Hydrogen that has been specifically
preprogrammed for that make and model.
