  • Title: PHILIPPINES: A FILIPINO INVENTOR CLAIMS HE HAS DEVISED A WAY TO MAKE A CAR RUN ON ORDINARY TAP WATER
  • Date: 19th February 1999
  • Summary: MANILA, PHILIPPINES (FEBRUARY 15, 1999) (RTV) 1. SLV RED TOYOTA CAR APPROACHING 0.09 2. CU INTERIOR OF CAR, STEERING WHEEL WITH HANDS OF INVENTOR DANIEL DINGLE ON WHEEL 0.15 3. SLV RED TOYOTA CAR BEARING SIGN (ENGLISH) "POWERED ORDINARY WATER" 0.28 4. SLV/SV DINGLE SHOWING ENGINE TO ONLOOKERS (2 SHOTS) 0.40 5. PAN DOWN INTERIOR ENGINE 0.49 6. CU BATTERY 0.57 7. CU "POWERED BY ORDINARY WATER SIGN" 1.02 8. MCU (English) DANIEL DINGLE, INVENTOR OF THE WATER POWERED CAR "Well it works on the principle of breaking water into hydrogen and oxygen by using a high current. But with my invention it only uses a 12 volt car battery to separate the hydrogen in seconds. So I can produce as much as I like in terms of hydrogen using only this car battery. So it is not expensive, it will be within the reach of the masses, because a can of hydrogen will only cost them 100 pesos and that will last for a period of three months, 24 hours a day operation". 1.45 9. CU DINGLE OPENS SPOUT TO REACTOR THEN POURS WATER 2.00 10. CU DINGLE POURING WATER INTO REACTOR (2 SHOTS) 2.15 11. MCU (English) DANIEL DINGLE, INVENTOR OF THE WATER POWERED CAR (HOLDING 'REACTOR') "This is the reactor. What is inside it is water. Below it is a simple reactor which is only 200 to 400 pesos. And this reactor when it is attached to a 12-volt battery immediately in seconds it will produce hydrogen and oxygen, it splits the water and then what will come out here (showing tube) is hydrogen, it is sucked into the intake manifold and direct to the intake valve and goes to the piston. When it reaches the piston, the sparkplugs spark and immediately with the additional oxygen it will produce explosion, it will push the piston down, so it will run any machine". 3.00 12. MCU (English) DANIEL DINGLE, INVENTOR OF THE WATER POWERED CAR "It was my dream is to become a priest, but nobody ever bothered to sponsor me so I thought then one way to serve God is to serve humanity. Maybe you don't believe it, but I'm doing this not for the sake of my family but maybe in the future, for the people who will be benefitting from this in the future, no more pollution." 3.26 13. SLV/SV DINGLE WALKING INTO WORKSHOP, RUBBING MAGNETS TOGETHER (2 SHOTS) 3.47 14. SAME AS SHOT 12 4.12 15. SLV CAR BACKING UP 4.23 16. CU EXHAUST 4.27 17. SLV/SV DINGLE SHOWING HIS WATER CAR TO DR ROGELIO LUIS AT THE PHILIPPINES DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2 SHOTS) 4.36 18. MCU (English) DR ROGELIO LUIS, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, PHILIPPINES DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY "This is just the beginning and we have a lot of improvements that we have to do. For example the use of water because metal is subject to corrosion, so if you use water, and hydrogen is derived from water, ultimately there be moisture in some components of the engine and this could start corrosion. So this is a good start, but there is still a long way to have it popularised, or to be used by everyone for the benefit of mankind." 5.10 19.
