Abstract: This project deals with the design and fabrication of a water powered car. The sustainable energy system plays a very important role nowadays because of various limitations in the exhaustible fuels and the pollution. The proposed car incorporates a water turbine which is rotated by the high pressure developed by the powerful pump and specially designed nozzle. The work produced by the turbine is stored in the batteries and the same work is used to run the overall system. Maximum rotation of the turbine power and efficiency is calculated by both theoretical and experimentation. Both the results and compared and validated. The system is modeled in CREO software and tested in Ansys Workbench to obtain structural stability. The system is fabricated using Aluminum for the cups of the turbine and Mild Steel for the chassis.

Keywords: Sustainable Energy, Water Turbine, Power, Mechanical Efficiency & Velocity.
