It has a local chamber for gas storage. It works both on small and large levels. This is something I have started. Maybe this could be a good solution in the future. I cut the design and prepared it. This is what I have started in order to stop depending on petroleum oil. Because the earth’s resources are limited and we need to find another way, I think this could be a future solution. So there are people who might be interested in this. I have also thought that this could be useful and helpful. That is why I made this design. Then I continued working on this research and used it for experiments. I researched about electrolysis and HHO generators. With this method, it can be turned into gas and then used. So I also found that it could be useful in practice. I discovered that it could be applied in vehicles. That is how I got this idea and developed it. I continued improving this idea, especially for vehicles. It can reduce petrol and diesel consumption, reduce costs, and also lower emissions and harmful pollution." 6.

CAR DRIVING AWAY (2 SHOTS) KADUNA, NIGERIA - AUGUST 28: A young Nigerian engineer from Kaduna State has designed an innovative device that allows vehicles to run on water, offering a potential solution to the twin challenges of soaring fuel prices and environmental pollution. Auwal Abubakar, a graduate of design engineering, used his own resources to develop an HHO (oxy-hydrogen) generator-like device. The system, installed in a vehicle's engine, uses the principle of electrolysis to convert water into HHO gas. This gas can then be used to power the vehicle either entirely on hydrogen or as a supplement to conventional gasoline or diesel. In an interview with an Anadolu at his workshop in Kaduna, Abubakar explained that the device leads to lower fuel costs, extended engine life, and a significant reduction in harmful emissions. Abubakar, who has been interested in developing things since he was a child, said his childhood dream has now turned into technology. "I have started in order to stop depending on petroleum oil. Because the earth’s resources are limited and we need to find another way, I think this could be a future solution." Abubakar, who is self-taught in mechanical engineering, stated that the idea emerged from an eight-month period of research and experimentation. He studied electrolysis and HHO generators, aiming to find a practical application for the technology. "I discovered that it could be applied in vehicles. That is how I got this idea and developed it," he said. "It can reduce petrol and diesel consumption, reduce costs, and also lower emissions and harmful pollution." The innovator emphasized that his work is a direct response to the economic and environmental issues facing Nigeria. Despite being one of the world's largest oil producers, Nigeria suffers from a lack of sufficient refinery capacity, forcing it to import expensive processed fuel. This paradox places a heavy burden on the public, particularly in the transportation sector. Abubakar's inventive spirit is not new. Prior to this project, he had developed stoves that run on used motor oil, which garnered significant interest from local residents amidst rising prices for natural gas and coal.
