As oil hits record highs everyday I think it's time the world take notice about this 30 year old Filipino invention. A water car? Yes, it can be done. They have put people in the moon! Visit Daniel Dingle's website- http://danieldingel.com/
i don't know if there is any truth to it but a friend of mine from BF paranaque said that an engine powered by water was made by a filipino, actually neighbor nga nila eh, kaso binili daw ng oil companies and that was way way back pa, ilan decades ago na
yeah possible nga, kun may degree lang ako sa chem eng eh.. heheheh XD kaso nga lang, think about it, a water-powered engine, the world economy would collapse overnight, the mideast would be the poorest of the poor and an archipelago like the phil surrounded by islands and water, well, boom! xD
syet riain, its just now that i got the chance to watch this vid that you posted, i think this is the guy my friend was telling me years ago, tga BF ba?
Hello, please be informed that Mr. Dingel's official website is now up at http://DanielDingel.com. He has not authorized www.dinglefoundation.com (which even spells his name incorrectly). Thanks.
We (the people behind the computer) are not Daniel Dingel. We're his webteam. Mr. Dingel admits that he's not computer-savvy, so to remedy that and allow him to communicate online we do the legwork for him. All communication sent to and from DanielDingel.com passes through him on a regular basis. :-)
@donsalcedo - we can't publicly disclose where he lives for privacy and security reasons. ;-)
@danieldingel send my regards too, btw if your the tech team needs additional hands, im computer savvy with a degree in BSCS, my services are free for danieldingel, anything to contribute to a fellow filipino's work that obviously is the solution to the oil price crisis (i'll make adjustments on my sked, just tell me the how's and the what's) keep it up
I really do not believe in this guy Daniel Dingel. He is so full of bull manure. He just swindled a Taiwanese firm out of a lot of money and I think THAT (money) is the purpose of this dog and pony show he displays through the media. It is all smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand. He is not a scientist, just a clever magician just like Jun Labo (he works along similar lines).
He claims to be sincere in "not wanting money" and "just wanting to help" but IF he is really sincere in wanting to help mankind, then why withhold his "secret formula?" I don't buy the reason that "Oil Companies are Suppressing me"... that's nonsense! If the Oil Industry objects, then he has the Automotive Industry to turn to!
I also don't buy what he says that he "does not want foreigners to benefit from a Filipino invention" which is BS too! If you find a cure for cancer and have the capacity to cure thousands of people, would you not take the opportunity to share it to the world whether Filipinos would benefit from it or not? The world now has wars and thousands are dying for oil. If you really are doing things "from the kindness of your heart" then you would do something to put a stop to it - no matter who benefits. But why isn't this so-called "kindness of his heart" prompting him to "save mankind" from the clutches of the oil sheiks? Because there isn't any "invention" but just a SHOW to elicit $upport for his water powered nonsense.

Inventor, 82, gets 20 years for ‘estafa’ By Allison Lopez Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 03:11:00 12/20/2008
Filed Under: Crime, Automotive Equipment MANILA, Philippines—Daniel Dingel, 82-year-old inventor of a “water-powered car,” has been convicted of “estafa” [swindling] and sentenced to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment by the Parañaque City Regional Trial Court.
The court also ordered him to pay $380,000 in actual damages.
Dingel, who has never revealed the secret to his invention, which he began in 1969, questioned the verdict but said he did not mind going to jail at his age. As of late Friday, he remained at large.
“‘Hindi ko naman kailangan ng pera’ [I don’t need the money],” he said. “I had bigger offers but I never took them. I never asked the government for a single centavo ... I just want to help.”
Dingel was found guilty of taking $410,000 from Dr. John Ding Young of Formosa Plastics Group, a Taiwanese company, which gave it to him as research and development funds.
The decision, written by Judge Rolando How of the court’s Branch 257 and released on Dec. 9, said Dingel defrauded Young when the inventor failed to fulfill his obligation of developing his “hydrogen reactor” and creating experimental cars in 2000.
Veteran lawyer Frank Chavez, who was approached by Dingel on Friday, said he would immediately appeal the court decision before it became final on Christmas Eve.
“I am taking up his case and will see to it that his conviction is reversed,” Chavez said. “Mankind will benefit from his invention ... How will we know his secret if we put him behind bars?”
Chavez, a former solicitor general, said he was impressed when he rode Dingel’s “water-powered” Toyota Corolla sedan.
Preliminary understanding
In his testimony to the court, Young said his group eagerly approached Dingel in November 2000 after hearing that he had discovered a way to extract hydrogen from ordinary water to power his 1996 Toyota Corolla.
The unique device — a “hydrogen reactor” resembling a 12-volt battery — impressed the Taiwanese when Dingel demonstrated how it powered and fueled the car’s engine. They were also told that fuel from water had clean emissions as it did not produce carbon the way gasoline did.
Convinced that the invention was genuine, Young and his group drew up a broad outline and signed a “preliminary understanding” with Dingel for several projects.
1. He said his "device" costs only PhP 500 to produce and he already has a prototype for it. If that's true, then why did he need to ask for $300,000 from the Taiwanese just to produce 3 cars? $100,000 per car? Come on now. He even asked for $60,000 as "R and D" funds. Akala ko ba 500 pesos lang may "reactor" ka na para sa water car?
2. He also said: “‘Hindi ko naman kailangan ng pera’ [I don’t need the money],” he said. “I had bigger offers but I never took them. I never asked the government for a single centavo ... I just want to help.”... Really? If that's true, then why did he ask for so much money from Formosa? Why is he grumbling that "I never get support from the Government" if he "doesn't need money?"
If he really has an intention to help mankind, then he would launch his invention and save the world from the "clutches of the oil companies". I don't buy the excuse that "Filipinos would not benefit if I sell the technology to foreigners". That's BULL. Everyone in the world would benefit if the (supposed) invention becomes widespread. If I had a cure for cancer, I would not keep it from the world but spread it whether "Filipinos would benefit" or mankind.
He also says that he is afraid his "invention" would be stolen. HELLO! If it goes into mass production, others could easily replicate it anyway so what is he fearing?
I know he has a lot of rabid Pinoy fans who trumpet how he exemplifies "Filipino Ingenuity" but only fools would believe in him.
I couldn't believe there are still people who are stupid enough to believe him. He said he needed "support". If he already has the prototype, then the support he needed was mass production. If the thing only costs 500 pesos to produce then he would have no problem making arrangements with the many Pinoy/Tsinoy millionaires to manufacture that thing and put up shops that would install it in cars.
I think Dingel's racket works this way. He would peddle a sob story about a "brilliant but poor inventor" who "just needs support" but is neglected by the Government and yet is patriotic etc etc... Then some people would be willing to help him financially... until it comes to a point where he can give them a cockameemee excuse like "I can no longer do it because the oil companies will kill me" or simply ignore their communications (like what he did to the Taiwanese company that believed in him).... Then the money disappears into his bank accounts.
Hmm... this is a strange turn o f events. Although, Oil Companies charge suppressing him still makes sense though. The Oil Industry has powerful lobby everywhere. This is the main reason why the US cannot get out of its addiction to oil.
i don't know if there is any truth to it but a friend of mine from BF paranaque said that an engine powered by water was made by a filipino, actually neighbor nga nila eh, kaso binili daw ng oil companies and that was way way back pa, ilan decades ago na
ReplyDeleteI think this is really possible. before no one thought that we can send people to space and the world is flat.
ReplyDeleteyeah possible nga, kun may degree lang ako sa chem eng eh.. heheheh XD kaso nga lang, think about it, a water-powered engine, the world economy would collapse overnight, the mideast would be the poorest of the poor and an archipelago like the phil surrounded by islands and water, well, boom! xD
ReplyDeletemagkakaroon na tayong maid na Arabo.
ReplyDeletepoetic justice if ever, nyc! now where the hell is that water engine??? XD
ReplyDeletesyet riain, its just now that i got the chance to watch this vid that you posted, i think this is the guy my friend was telling me years ago, tga BF ba?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure eh, but that is quite possible.... I mean how many Pinoy water car inventors are there?
ReplyDeletego to youtube - look for daniel dingle water car...
ReplyDeleteHello, please be informed that Mr. Dingel's official website is now up at http://DanielDingel.com. He has not authorized www.dinglefoundation.com (which even spells his name incorrectly). Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDone! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteis that the real daniel dingel?
ReplyDeletenot sure... I hope so! If he is, then I am soooo honored!

i saw that too. it's sad in a way, but there's a catch, frank chavez is representing dingel, maybe there's a conspiracy
