Genepax Invents a Car that Runs on Water - The Real Deal

Genepax Co Ltd, a company from Japan invented a car that runs on water. No more expensive gasoline fuel, no CO2 emissions, none of that crap. Genepax is the real deal with the real car that runs on water. At least that’s what it seems like…

The prototype car Genepax announced and demonstrated on yesterday’s show and tell in Osaka, Japan is run by the engine that generates power form the supply of air and water. Company’s own Water Energy System (WES) uses their own membrane electrode assembly (MEA) which break water down into oxygen and hydrogen through chemical reactions producing energy similar to that of a regular fuel engine.

Genepax car is electricity powered, runs on water and is environmentally friendly. It will take any water, including rain or sea water. One liter is enough to get your car running for an hour at 80km/h. Genepax CEO Kiyoshi Hirasawa said that unlike regular electric cars, their car will continue to run for as long as you supply water to it. You pour water into the tank, special generator breaks it down to create electric power.

You won’t be able to buy Genepax cars yet, but the company has applied for a patent and is negotiating with various Japanese car manufacturers to collaborate with in mass production or cars that run on water. Good times ahead.

Below is the video demonstrating the car, but it’s in Japanese ;)
