French, Vietnamese building motorbike fueled by water

A group of French students and Vietnamese teachers are building a motorbike to run mostly on water.
Fabien Chancel, Thibaud Revil-Baudard and several young Vietnamese instructors at the Da Nang Technology College have been building the motorbike for a month, hoping to make the engine operate according to the Pantone engine principle.

This principle allows the motorbike to operate on a mixture of 25 percent gasoline and 75 percent water.

The bike was run on a trial basis for several kilometers Tuesday.

The two French students said they are excited to build a motorbike in Vietnam, which they called “the motorbike heaven.”

The group says they plan to tour the nation with the bike when it is completed.
