ToBeHuman Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Genepax Unveils a Car That Runs on Water and Air Running a car on water has been the holy grail for car manufacturers for some time now, but it appears that a Japanese company named Genepax may have pulled ahead of the competition with a prototype vehicle that runs entirely on water and air. Their new "Water Energy System (WES)," generates power by supplying water and air to the fuel and air electrodes using a proprietary technology called the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). The secret behind MEA is a special material that is capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction.

rmc523 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Genepax Unveils a Car That Runs on Water and Air That'd be cool if Ford could buy this patent if it works well. A salt-water powered car would be a good idea as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerM Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Genepax Unveils a Car That Runs on Water and Air "Membrane" or not, I know of no way to break the H-O-H chemical bond and use less energy, than you get when you reform the same bond. I'd almost believe it if the source of the hydrogen were ozone (h30), but that is also unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
