 THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use water as 
a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water. 
His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other 
methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This impressive 
technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice 
because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
 Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no explanation 
for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have also vanished. 
An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced 
to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol 
station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by 
pollution.

 THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta. The original drink was a type of 
syrup, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine; 
and with its coca (the source of cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to another druggist, 
Asa Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea that Pemberton’s “medicine” would be much 
better if it was mixed with soda. Candler was thus the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also 
advertised his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola. A. Their blood pressure is slightly lowered.
