As per the claims it runs only on a 300W “Water Energy System (WES)” where WATER is the only FUEL. The basic power generation mechanism of the new system is similar to that of a normal fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. According to Genepax, the main feature of the new system is that it uses the company’s membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which contains a material capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction. A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide. “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,” said Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Chief Executive Officer of Genepax, after he proudly announced the company’s invention. Once water is poured into the 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. “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,” said Hirasawa, who is hoping to advertise the car in time for the upcoming G8 Summit in …

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI thought it was HHO or Hydroxy Hydrogen and Oxygen. This guy is dead now? Was he another casualty of the Bush Administration? I’ve seen this before but was directed here because of a strange death…working with the military? Meeting with congress…and now he’s dead…
It’s on Fox News, it must be true!
4) After burning molecules of steam (high temperature water) have more KINETIC ENERGY than hydrogen molecules before the reaction. The difference in kinetic energy before and after the reaction (burning) is exactly THE SAME as the energy needed in step 2.
CONCLUSION: Cars do not run “on WATER” or “on HYDROGEN”, but on ENERGY! Hydrogen molecules only “store” (accumulate) energy and release it when they burn (react with oxygen).
One still needs ENERGY!
Nothing new.
Here are few FACTS:
1) There is no WATER power but hydrogen power. Where to get hydrogen? One can get hydrogen from many different sources and one of them is WATER.
2) One needs ENERGY to dissolve water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
3) Result of BURNING hydrogen (burning = chemical reaction with OXYGEN) is creation of WATER (steam).
This is real. I was working with a chemist/physicist and we were going to develop a similar technology. The energy required to transform water is not significant. This is real. You think we can’t discover new forms of energy?
Does this machine actually produce HHO on demand? I mean can it produce as much or more as is being used? I have always noticed that my engine runs a little better on rainy humid days. Could it be possible that some water is being sucked into the intakes and undergoing electrolysis in the cylinder? Even if we don’t eventually somehow convert cars to water quickly, maybe we can find a way to use this idea on a larger scale for our power grid. How much oil use will that cut down nationally?
fox and this is bs
all of you are gay
I hate when people refer to hydrogen gas or “HHO” as water. Water is chemically inert, it is dead. It is extremely stable. “HHO” is able to burn because it is UN-stable: this means it takes energy(gas, coal,etc) to convert water to HHO. You’re not using water as a fuel, you are using an unstable hydroxide compound that has water as an emission. This is why local news reporters shouldn’t try to report science news without serious editorial review by someone who knows something about the science.
1. water is pervasive over the surface of the earth; the presence of water vapor is not new, it did not CAUSE climate change. 2. CO2 has it’s own niche in climate warming that is being overfilled. 3. there is already water vapor in any emissions. having ONLY water vapor would be an improvement in any case.
yeah lets tax water vapor!
in this way the energy used to break the H2O is far more than it gives off. Guess what? this is essentially an electric car but far less effective because it has that electrolysis chamber and a further combustion chamber making it really really inefficient. As opposed to just charging a battery and having it feed the car directly.
anyone with any serious study into climate knows how much effect water has. haven’t you seen clouds? water is not only an incredibly potent global warmer but it affects the climate in a variation of ways. The only thing about it that is any better than carbon dioxide is that it doesn’t make the sea acidic. if their was no water vapour in the air then earth would be far too cold to inhabit. There is a balance of greenhouse gases they are not necessarily bad.
That part was deceptive, wasn’t it? I think that his claim was that the nozzle didn’t heat up. He touched the nozzle. I don’t think he put his fingers in front of the flame.
That is a serious claim. If you can, please provide a reference. Thanks.
It’s true, but I think that in this invention the salt can be use as a catalitic agent in the condition of the electrostatic field.
In this way the energy used to breaks the H2O may be less than the energy give.
WATER IS GOD

This better work. If the government doesnt endorse this, I HATE THIS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALLY!!
Dont Keep the little man down!
actually burning water as fuel is far worse. guess what!!! water vapour is responsible for over 70% of global warming it is a far more potent global warmer than carbon dioxide.
total crap.
a continuation to my response to ScotchMoose, anyways in summary the amount of energy you’d get from a hydrogen fuel cell (which aren’t very developed as it is) would equal the energy it takes to break the H2O bonds in the first place. So unless your breaking those H2O bonds with solar power…. there is no point.
I see a “negative” rating on this comment, but ScotchMoose has a valid point, first of all H20 aka water is one of the MOST STABLE MOLECULES KNOWN TO MAN, think that over a bit. Somehow breaking the O-H bonds requires the same amount of energy that was released when the water molecule, and if you’ve ever seen the hydrogen-oxygen balloon trick, its a highly exothermic reaction. Unless these guys found some magical catalyst… (chemists and chemE’s still aren’t sure how catalysts work btw) BS…..
So how come flesh is not affected by the heat?????
What energy are you going to lose?
Energy that has just come from water…?
