It looks like a regular BMW 7 Series, but it runs on hydrogen -- an energy source that can be produced using sunlight and water.

BMW has developed its hydrogen-powered vehicle using its conventional 12-cylinder internal combustion engine from the 750iL. However, instead of gas, it runs on hydrogen.

The Indian Institute of Science and Indian Institute of Technology joint program on Hydrogen as an alternative fuel has surprised the world. They successfully have run cars using water as fuel. Solar energy is used to break water down into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then Hydrogen is burnt as fuel using water to cool down the engine. The resultant superheated stem is further used to energize a second hybrid electric engine. The electricity generated through alternator of main and second electric engine further helps in breaking the water down into oxygen and hydrogen.

A standard car can be driven with water and an electric battery with circuit amplifiers. The technology is a total breakthrough and the world is totally surprised with it. Commercialization will make gasoline the thing of the past. The resultant exhaust is pure steam and is harmless for the environment.

BMW also has developed hydrogen cars but the commercial versions shown up till now are dual engine – gasoline and hydrogen. Hydrogen engine can produced very high horsepower.
