dAlH2Orean - World’s first Aluminium and Soda powered car

Barcelona-based student-professor duo of Aleix Llovet and Xavier Salueña have come up with dAlH2Orean, a radio-controlled car with zero carbon emission that runs on aluminium from ring of soda cans. Inspired by the fusion-powered DeLorean in the Sci-Fi movie ‘Back to the Future’, this hydrogen-powered car is powered by the a few soda-can pull rings dropped into the tank. The rings react with hydroxide of sodium and water in the tank, to form hydrogen and the charge lasts for about 40 minutes. See the video below to see how dAlH2Orean works.

The car that is the first of its kind runs on aluminium wastes gives an output of 30km/hr leaving behind no polluter waste material. The whole operation based on the self-generation of hydrogen through the reaction of contact between aluminium and sodium hydroxide, feeds the fuel cell that produces the energy. Furthermore, boosting a greener eco-system, it does not generate any carbon emissions and closes the cycle of aluminium, reducing pollution caused by its extraction.

The developers of this patented dAlH2Orean from the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Barcelona Tech, Aleix and Xavier says that this clean and safe technology can be further accentuated to provide power for small passenger cars too. The AlH2Orean was developed under the project 'Aluminium' of UPC BarcelonaTech aimed to boost innovative propulsion system for moving cars and micro cars.
