Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water.
The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that is poured into the car's tank. The generator then releases electrons that produce electric power to run the car. Genepax, the company that invented the technology, aims to collaborate with Japanese manufacturers to mass produce it.

  • The world is already limited on supply of fresh water. What happens when a billion people start driving these cars. Will we run out of fresh water or will we put rain barrels to catch the fuel for our car. Will the price of water go up? Be nice if they could put this into a boat. And then have a pump which pumps the water from the reservoir into the tank. So you never run out of fuel.

  • It is said to run on salt water as well, and with the so called ice caps melting, it might save the coast line one day :)

  • IM THE SECOND COMMENT! haha i want 2 instal a generator on my car but im kind of scared what it will do in the long run to my engine. I am a HUGE HHO suporter. Why havent major manufacturers started using it?

  • They will not make money on people using water, unless they could charge you 5 bucks for a gallon of water.

    Greed kills all good things.

  • Lets see Nascar run that setup.

  • I just can't believe that so many of you believe this!

  • These people didnt invent the water engine... well they did commercially but some other guy made one in america first

  • @744682532 1 Reason more to get fusion generators up & working. Since they can make a shtton of energy (kinda like a small sun) from a laughably small amount of water.

    Since our ocean whit fusion plants could run our planet consumption & more for millions of years whit our watersupply atm.

  • ahh an other Gwizz crap why cant they make a nicer looking car

  • IT USES CHEMICAL ADDITIVE TO EXTRACT HYDROGEN. NOT JUST WATER> GUESS HOW MUCH THE CHEMICAL ADDITIVE WILL COST?!?!?!?!

    MOre than regualr gas for sure.

  • no bullshit

  • This is absolute bull shit, it takes huge amounts of energy to extract hydrogen from water. Either this thing is powered by batteries or requires some probably toxic chemical to extract the hydrogen.

  • they mention sea water, so yeah, it would work.

  • Japan > america
