Water-powered motorcycle created by Brazilian went viral in 2018, but invention remains without official recognition - Inventor from Paraíba developed an experimental motorcycle system that used hydrogen extracted from water even without knowing how to read or write!
In 2018, Sandro Alves de Oliveira, a 37-year-old from Paraíba, drew attention when he developed an experimental system for motorcycles using water as part of the fuel. The water-powered motorcycle gained prominence after the truck drivers' strike, when the increase in fuel prices motivated Sandro to look for a more affordable alternative.
A resident of the city of Alagoa Nova, in the Agreste region of Paraíba, he adapted his motorcycle with an aluminum reactor, which supposedly separated hydrogen from water to power the engine. According to Sandro, his motorcycle could travel up to 1.000 km with just 1 liter of water. but this information has not been tested or confirmed by experts.
Invention arose due to the fuel crisis
Fuel shortages during the 2018 truck drivers strike inspired Sandro to create an alternative system to fuel his motorcycle. With self-taught knowledge of electronics and mechanics, he developed a homemade reactor that, according to him, allowed the motorcycle to use hydrogen extracted from water as a source of energy.

Sandro, who became known as “Sandro of the antennas”, was already popular among city residents for creating TV antennas and electrical devices using recyclable materials. His project caught the attention of the media and went viral on social media, generating curiosity about the possibility of a small-scale hydrogen-powered vehicle.
Does a water-powered motorcycle really work?
The exact functioning of the system created by Sandro has not been detailed in independent technical tests, and experts say that a vehicle powered only by water is not viable. Technology that uses hydrogen extracted from water already exists and is being studied worldwide, but it requires sophisticated processes and cannot generate enough energy with just a simple reactor.
Furthermore, Sandro did not patent his invention nor present detailed studies on its effectiveness. He also expressed concern about the acceptance of the automotive industry and large companies in the fuel sector, which led him to keep the project restricted to your own use.
What happened to the water-powered motorcycle?
Since it gained notoriety in 2018, there are no records of the invention being developed or commercialized. Sandro's project remains without official recognition or scientific validation, and there is no information about new advances in the technology he created.
Despite this, the interest in hydrogen-powered vehicles continues to grow around the world, with automakers investing in more sophisticated and efficient systems for commercial use.
Who is Sandro Alves de Oliveira?
Sandro was born in the rural area of New York, New York, and moved to the city center over a decade ago. The inventor claims that can't read or write, and who has a headache when trying to learn. However, he developed practical skills and became an expert in electronic repairs and inventions.
Without internet access at home, Sandro says that all his creations are the fruit of his imagination and observation. In addition to the water-powered motorcycle, he has also developed TV antennas, electric generators and even a miniature electric trio.
Although his motorcycle caught the attention of the media in 2018, the project did not continue, and Sandro continues to work on electronic repairs and new inventions.
The motorcycle created by Sandro Alves de Oliveira in 2018 raised curiosity about the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source. However, the viability of the invention was never proven and the project remains without technical or commercial recognition.
Sandro's case reinforces the interest in innovative and sustainable solutions, but also highlights the importance of scientific validation and structured technological development so that new ideas can be applied on a large scale.

In other words, they made the boy disappear, a "quiet down", because it would have ruined the entire commercial, economic and financial situation, the sharks, the market as a whole, removed the possible threat.
For this invention to be viable, it had to use an external source of electricity to generate hydrogen, which would then make the motorcycle engine run. This already exists with Toyota's Mirai automobile, which is no longer viable due to the increase in the price of hydrogen.
Now producing hydrogen using a motorcycle engine for consumption goes against the laws of physics, no machine has a yield greater than one.
And this talk about the oil industry covering up the case is talk from someone who doesn't understand anything about Physics and Engineering.
This is reverse electrolysis. Of course it is possible to extract hydrogen from water. However, there is an energy cost. Which compromises the economy. Besides, it cannot be just any water. It has to be distilled. There are other ways, as has already been researched using boron oxide. Anyway, it didn't go ahead because it wasn't economically viable, and if it were, of course a car manufacturer would install it. This story that it will break the oil industry is just nonsense. With an oil crisis looming on the horizon, it is clear that other renewable sources must be sought, as is happening with electric cars.
To me this is the idea of someone who wants to show that they know, precisely because they don't.
Seeing that the industry is advancing, speak up first to claim a possible discovery.
Some leak of incomplete information. Trying to exploit industrial espionage.
The hydrogen-powered engine, as far as I know, is quite unstable even at the perfect start of its useful life. It is not suitable for common use and no one knows if it ever will be.
It needs to be safe. Mostly safe.
Dude, the guy doesn't even know how to read, so how does he want to show that he knows?
It's so childish that it can't even be described.
The guy is simple, and he just invented something that someone decided to expose on the Internet, he really wanted to be seen. Just like you.
