Introduction

We made a saltwater robot because we want to make the people understand how different it would be using saltwater power instead of oil and gas.

This is good for the planet because it saves a lot of oil and you can always reuse it, and there would be less pollution in the air. It can save electricity.

Burning!
Right now we are burning coal, oil and wood for energy to power trains and other vehicles. We also burn oil for cars to get powered. But solar cars are powered by electricity. And right now we are wasting resources to just power vehicles.

How does saltwater power vehicles, etc?

This is because saltwater is good conductor of electricity. Salt molecules are made of sodium ions and chlorine ions.(an ion is an atom that has an electrical charge because it has either gained or lost an electron). These ions are what carry electricity through water.
