SVPT’s & JCS students design car that runs on salt water and solar energy

The students of  SVPT’s & JCS,  made a car that works on a fuel cell made up of NaCl (aq), ie., normal salt water and solar energy. The team of five students of Std XI and XII designed this car which  looks like a normal petrol or diesel car but without engine and doesn't cause air or water pollution. It uses renewable and abundantly available resource like sunlight and so would be cheaper than usual cars. The only twist is that the back compartment of the car will have the circuitry whereas the front compartment will be the storage unit.
