Many people in the past have claimed to run vehicles on water. But all of them have turned out to be frauds. It is very simple. If water could be used as a fuel, then it is the most abundant fuel on earth and there would have been no hassle in using other expensive fuels. Every student of basic sciences knows that water bonds do not have that much energy that could run an engine by mere splitting. It cannot be used as a fuel.

People will argue and as claimed by His Excellency Engineer Agha Waqar sb that water is first split into Hydrogen and Oxygen and then this mixture runs the car. For them, there is nothing wrong with this claim except that it is false. Hydrogen is also a very non-economic and inefficient fuel when used in cars. Much research is being carried out on Hydrogen to be used as fuel but the storage, economics and inefficiency are big problems.

The Tale of Two Men

There was a man who was born in a middle class family. He rose to excellence and became world famous. Human race owes him much due to his contributions. One of the brilliant minds of twentieth century, he brought to us not only national prides and honors but also made possible for thousands of other Pakistanis to earn respects and titles. 100s of people from Pakistan get their PhDs every year due to the efforts he made for them when he was alive. I am talking about Dr. Abdus Salam. Dr. Abdus Salam is the first and only Pakistani who is a Nobel laureate. He is also one of the founders of PAEC and contributed a lot in nuclear program of Pakistan. He also established many other programs, which have made possible for Pakistan earn many endeavors that could never be achieved otherwise. Abdus Salam International Centre forTheoretical Physics (ICTP) in Italy, founded by Dr. Abdus Salam provides scholarships to hundreds of students from third world countries for their PhDs, every year. His most significant contribution is the Salam-Weinberg theory of weak forces that now made possible the discovery of Higgs Boson: the last missing link of theory of universe.
