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.
