# Water-Powered Car Inventions Murat Ağbaş is Attempting to Build a Car That Functions on Water By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-11-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterpowered-car References: [dailysabah](https://www.dailysabah.com/science/2019/11/15/turkish-inventor-builds-car-that-works-on-water-not-gasoline) Oil is an important resource for our current way of life, but sourcing and using it is also of great detriment to our planet and as a result, the concept of a water-powered car raises curiosity and sees a great deal of attention. In Turkey, a Gaziantep-based auto mechanic is trying his hand at creating a car that can run entirely on water. As of right now, Murat Ağbaş' water-powered car is a hybrid that uses a combination of water and gasoline. With "just two liters of water, [the vehicle] can run for up to 70 kilometers." One can imagine how important it is to create new ways for automobiles to run and although [electric vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rangeextending-ev-technology) have surely captured the attention of manufacturer's as the next mode of powering transportation, a water-based method is also worth exploring.
