Tired of pumping expensive gasoline into your car? Well one Japanese company reveals an eco-friendly car that runs on water, using the company's generating system, which converts water into electrical power - possibly the world's first.

STORY:
All you need is a liter of water - any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea.
Genepax unveiled a car that runs on water in the western Japanese city of Osaka. They say it's an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.

[Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Genepax CEO]:
"The main characteristic of this car is that no external input is needed. The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water inside for you to add from time to time."

According to Japanese broadcaster TV Tokyo, once the water is poured into a water tank at the back of the car, the newly invented energy generator takes out the hydrogen from the water, releases electrons and finally generates electrical power.

[Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Genepax CEO]:
"We highly recommend our system since it does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars."

According to the Genepax, 1 liter of water keeps the car running for about an hour with a speed of 80 kilometers or 50 miles an hour.

The company has just applied for a patent and is hoping to collaborate with Japanese automobile manufacturers to mass manufacture their invention in the very near future.

  • such technology will never be used by people, because of those greedy oil companies owners... they'll do anything to stop it from happen... and the corrupted politicians will help them do it.

  • Japan saves the earth XD

see all

  • WELL FUCK WHY ISNT THIS OUT ON THE STREETS YET?

  • i want one

  • @EESASTORM I didn't say it doesn't take an input of energy for anything. I'm saying you don't have to run a current through the water for power, steam power is another viable alternative, if done correctly you can have better efficiency than combustion engines.

    As for water fuel cars, it is possible, with development it can certainly reach the same efficiency as combustion engines.

  • i bet these guys who developed this are worn food right now and their research burning in a nice oil operated furnace.

  • @LiouTao does it not take an INPUT of energy to separate H2O? if so what is the source for this car.

  • FAKE

  • continued.. than it does to recombine. Whether he's burning the hydrogen with the oxygen or catalyzing it via a fule cell, he simply CANNOT get more energy out than it takes to split the water molecules. This is elementary physics and chemistry. If you can prove otherwise, please build a demonstration model and present your results publicly.

  • To 3000herman: No, water is not a source of energy. Sure, if it's falling, as in a waterfall, then it's the momentum imparted by gravity that provides energy. And if you were to find some way to extract the NUCLEAR energy from it, then yes it would be a source of energy. But this guy is claiming thet he puts water into his vehickle, it splits the hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atoms and the somehow generates electricity from that. Sorry, but it takes more energy to split it (continued)...

  • @RogerGarrett : what a bold statement..!

    imo: water IS (a source of) energy, as well as all other matter is.

  • @elmariachi109 they will when we run out of oil... its just a future plan...
