Water-fuel car unveiled in Japan

"Jun. 13 - 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.

SOUNDBITE: Kiyoshi Hirasawa, CEO, Genepax.

Michelle Carlile-Alkhouri reports."

This video like 3 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if the creator hasn't been assassinated by the oil companies already.

Let's hope a group of oil companies don't buy it and make it disappear.

@mr1000rx Yes, yes it is.... also the will to take care of poor people, what if all our countrys would do that? imagine no poor people> then no need for leaders to be rich and finaly> comunism and hittler will take over the world. Can't have that so pound,pound, pound HAARPing all around. PS High powered radio waves can make certain molecules vibrate (there for releasing heat) and that hit can triger a...JAPAN earthquqe, could be wrong tho...but don't bother thinking about it, as this is crazy

imagine ya run out of water, and you are in the middle of the desert highway, all you need to do is pee in the car and you will get there and if you ran out of pee try spiting that may give ya a quarter of a mile per spit.

@kinein They killed it quietly when they realized it was a fraud.

An engine that violates the law of thermodynamics and this is all they're doing with it? I smell hoax.

[SuperDevastetor]

Water goes around. Yes? Ever heard about the water cycle?

Now that I think about it, I don't even WANT this to go into mass production. It's just going to delay the problem. Without any oil, we can live. The last thing we need is to run out of water.

@achozenshaman I was thinking exactly that. I realize this is a few years old but now is when it is getting press. GREAT timing, methinks. It might actually reappear and move forward.

Sorry, but that's a fraud. You can get hydrogen from water, but the energy you can generate from that is at most the amount you have to put in to generate the hydrogen from the water in the first place, minus inevitable losses. You cannot fool mother nature in the form of physics. There is no such thing as a free lunch in energy conversion.
