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.

Crack open the "energy generator" and you'll see what is actually providing power for the car.

It’s that generator that they say nothing about that will be key to making this car economical. Ain’t been done before for that reason - and people’s fear of hydrogen.

"They have this car man, and it runs on WATER!"

Micronuke?

[Blood of Tyrants]

I’m not buying this either. The generator would consume more energy than the engine could produce.

The flux capacitor?

if this were true and it runs on nothing but water can you imagine what the price of a gallon of water will go up to considering they say we are running out of that also.....

and now they say that the midwest floods likely to cause gas to go to 5.00 a gallon because of the corn corp damage that is going to cause a shortage of ethanol....wait a minute...i farted...did gas go up...??....

Sounds like a case for The Lone Gunmen.

[Neoliberalnot]

The old perpetual energy scam repackaged to sell to the followers of Obama.

Nah, the disgronificator.

wait a minute...i farted...did gas go up...??....

You'd be the first to know.

Hope it’s true. Regardless, most of us will be using the internal combustion gas powered cars for at least a decade.
