Thushara Priyamal was the eldest of Edirisinghe family in Athurugiriya who had an interest for researching scientific substances since school age. He was a much recognized past pupil from Kristhu College Pannipitiya. Starting from 9th grade he wanted to research on producing Hydrogen gas using water.
He learned how to fill air to balloons by adding a piece of Aluminum into Caustic Soda mixed with water and also found that the balloon gets exploded if it is taken near a fire. So he thought, collected Hydrogen could produce enough power to start a vehicle engine.
Thushara had a good knowledge about electric parts of a vehicle and he had an interest in improving his skills very much by going to a Mechanical Engineering Institute. So he stopped his education after he passed O/L's on 1996. Since he achieved tremendous results at O/L's he was selected to for Electrical Engineering at Moratuwa German College in year 1998.
By this time he wanted to make an airplane. He was able to airborne a small airplane which is made of Rigifoam and necessary electrical parts. He was successful more than he anticipated, because it could fly so far that even the connection with the remote control was lost. He lost the model because of the unexpected performance of this hand made aircraft. After finding the airplane, he never attempted to airborne it again, because he was advised from the air force not to airborne unlicensed air planes more than 8 Kilo meters away from the source.
After he joined Electrical Engineering at Moratuwa German College in year 1998, he proved his core competencies very well by performing at his studies remarkably well comparing to the other students. Most of the time when he is at home, he repaired vehicles and continued his own researches on motor mechanics. After completing studies in year 2004, he started to work in the field he always had a passion about. Since he was busy with the job, he couldn't manage time to do his own researches. So he planned to leave the job and continue fulfilling his endeavors. Then he continued his researches collecting enough Hydrogen gas to start a vehicle and he succeeded on December 2006. According to that he made an electrical circuit.
This circuit produces enough Hydrogen gas using only water to start a vehicle. A fluctuation was generating by fixing a special electrical circuit into a water tank that can hold around 3 and a half liters of water. It produces Hydrogen gas and Oxigen gas consuming a small beam of electricity. Combination of these two gases can make a vehicle engine start. But unfortunatly he didnt have a vehicle to do his researches. But thushara didnt give up. He fixed his circuite into one of him friend's vehicle. He succeeded. So he drived all the way to Anuradhapura, Kurunagala , Puttalama etc with his new found vehicle for around 1 month time. Suddenly the owner of the vehicle has taken the vehile away from him with the circuit. He has requested the circuit from him, since he worked hard to find it. But he has not recieved it back. Still he didnt give up. He has started to make a new circuit on march of last year. He succeeded to finish it by july of this year. Since he didnt have his own vehicle he had to test it in other's vehicle once more. In the same way has tested for around 1 month. The same story happend at this time also, but he has not given his new research this time.
This circuit produces enough gases to run 80Km with only 1 liter of water. As he says the output is nothing but water vapor. He thinks to improve and make a release to the country, since there is a huge problem of fuel in Sri Lanka. He thanks to his family, Burnard Nydef and Kumudhu Nudef for giving strenght to succeed this new research.
He has wasted so much of money to come into this position. This can be helpful to our country as well as to the whole world.

What do u say about this?
http://sapumal.blogspot.com/2008/07/water-for-fuel.html
hey dis is is great....At last Thushara Priyamal did it rt....proud to be a sri lankan...
Thanx for the comments...
1 liter of water has 55.56 mol of H2O
enthalpy of combustion of hydrogen is 286 kJ/mol
with 3.5 liters you can get 195 mol of H2
which gives 55.7 MJ of heat
1 liter of petrol can give 32 MJ of heat
1.7 liters of petrol can give 55.7 MJ of heat
petrol engines (otto cycle engines) have a thermal efficiency of less than 30%
so the effective mechanical energy is 16.7 MJ
pls explain how you can drive over 200km with 16.7 MJ of work
i see no scientific basis in your claim
this story has no scientific basis and seems to be a perpetual motion case
i've explained it in detail here
Agree with Shehal.
Water is used as a fuel, and after combustion water comes out as water. Clearly there's no step in releasing any chemical energy. Because there's no potential difference.
You don't need have a degree in thermodynamics to see that this is a hoax.
If what the guy says is true, then he must be using another form of energy (probably from the car battery) to break water in to hydrogen and oxygen and then burn hydrogen. Which is without doubt inefficient and costly and directly burning fuel.
How proud is it to be a Sri Lankan now? I mean seriously, how many people fell for this shit?
What a wonderful invention! Forget about freaking car - he build up a perpetual motion first time ever and break all known scientific theories we humans have created so far!
Think about potential. With just one bucket of water, we can repeatedly generate enough electricity to power the world. NASA can power next space shuttle with just one cup of water, by repeatedly using the same water coming out from the engine to power the engine back again. May be I’m wrong. May not one cup – a teaspoon of water?
I can't believe people are so stupid as to believe these claims.
Let's not be the subject of the world's ridicule.
Who are the witnesses to this? Have his claims been validated by anyone respectable?
Can we at least see a video of his car running and making the trip?
This story sounds like a fraud so that Thushara or others can make money by gettting stupid people to invest or donate to his "research".
This sort of deliberate activity should be illegal.
Why doesn't he publish some of the details of his invention?
his "invention" has not made news anywhere. Why hasn't he given a demonstration to the scientific community? Why hasn't he published the details on the internet. He would have got nominated for the Nobel prize by now and would have millions of US dollars.
Just because we want to believe something doesnt make it true.
So from what i read before about his "inmvention" the car still needs to have petrol fuel. So then how is his invention different than what is described here:

Has he copied that idea?
