All you guys might seen an amphibian car in a James Bond movie or some other Hollywood movie. Amphibian cars are still a research concept, even big motor giants fear of those things as it involves huge cost for its waterproof fabrication and heavy horse power engine to cope up in both land and water.
But its an amazing fact two groups of our Indian students has successfully crafted a couple of variants of car as their academic project. They have made those thing which cost them as lower than Rs 35,000.
Those guys are none other than Engineering students in Prist university, Tanjore. With the help of Hi-tech Project industries, Rajendra Kumar, Nitesh Kumar, Sanjay Kumar, Abhishek Raj, Roopak Kumar, Sanjay Kumar Yadav and Chandrakanth joined together into a single team turned them into a real garage boys designed a amphibian with an electric motor, which is powered by solar panels.

Both the variants are having a well designed suspension and gear system" said Jayaraj, Murali and Balasundaram, researchers at Hi-Tech Project Industries.
District collector witnessed their work and got a demonstration from those young inventors on January 24,2012.
