[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Creating engines that run on water - Israel vs. PalArabs

From Technion:

Prof. Alon Gany, Dr. Valery Rosenband and their PhD student Shani Elitzur of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, present model electric boat and car as technology demonstrators for in-situ hydrogen production from aluminum and water. The reaction is based on an original activation process, and electricity generation on-board via PEM fuel cell. Filmed at the Fine Rocket Propulsion Center at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion.

The technology is based on a patented novel method developed at the Fine Rocket Propulsion Center for aluminum activation to react spontaneously with water. It enables compact, safe, and efficient hydrogen storage which can be used on demand.

The combination of this hydrogen production and storage technique with a PEM fuel cell can yield "green", non polluting electric energy with specific energy (energy per unit mass) greater by 10-15 fold than common lithium-ion batteries used today.

The technology may be applied, for instance, for marine and automotive propulsion, for emergency electric generators, for power supply in remote communication posts, and for civilian and military outdoors operations, providing convenient, safe, clean, and quiet operation.

But if you think that is impressive, how about a Palestinian Arab who claims to have created an engine that runs purely on water?

Mahmoud Abbas met personally with inventor Atef Abdel Rahman Shkoukani who received a Palestinian patent for his car that runs only on water.

Al Jazeera says that Atef worked on his invention for two years in his father's auto repair garage.

This was one of 22 patents registered by the PA in 2013. (Israel had nearly 2600 in 2012.)

Details on this revolutionary, patented invention are sketchy. Here is the illustration of how it works from Al Jazeera:

Impressive, isn't it?

A few years ago another Palestinian Arab inventor claimed to have created a car that runs on only air, but for some reason it does not seem to have made it to market yet.
