Freeport, Bahamas - (August 16, 2010) Yes you read it right, possibly Grand Bahamas' very first H20 Hybrid
demonstration vehicle. You can't miss it on the road, as it is clearly
marked "Water Powered Car" and it means what it says. This vehicle
uses the properties in drinking water to greatly increase fuel economy
while dramatically reducing harmful exhaust emissions and it was built
on the Island in less than 2 months using local suppliers and
materials. Preliminary tests have shown an outstanding 30 % increase
in fuel economy. That means 30% fewer dollars spent at the pump as
you go about your regular routine. Think of the potential - you save
while going "green" for the environment.
Congratulations goes to 19-year-old James Tuchel, son of Laurie and
Charles Tuchel who have been residents of Grand Bahama since 2002.
James is the lead Engineer in Training on this project. James
grew up on the island. and after graduating with an International
Baccalaureate from Lucaya International School, was accepted into the
School of Mechanical
Engineering 5-year Masters Degree Program at the University of
Edinburgh, Scotland.
