Japanese invent car that runs on water
Friday, June 13: Tired of petrol prices rising daily at the pump? A
Japanese company has invented an electric-powered, and environmentally
friendly, car that it says runs solely on water.
Genepax unveiled the car in the western city of Osaka on Thursday,
saying that a litre of any kind of water -- rain, river or sea -- was
all you needed to get the engine going for about an hour at a speed of
80 km.
"The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water to
top up from time to time," Genepax CEO Kiyoshi Hirasawa told local
broadcaster TV Tokyo.
"It does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge
your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars," he
added.
Once the water is poured into the tank at the back of the car, a
generator breaks it down and uses it to create electrical power, TV
Tokyo said.
Whether the car makes it into showrooms remains to be seen. Genepax
said it had just applied for a patent and is hoping to collaborate
with Japanese auto manufacturers in the future.
Most big automakers, meanwhile, are working on fuel.
