JamesIMG_7536sm.jpg Freeport, Bahamas - (August 16, 2010) Yes you read it right, probably 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.
