  1. All water fuel cars are hoaxes. It is impossible to use water as a fuel because water does not burn and cannot be made to burn.

    People often say you can make hydrogen from water and burn that, but it takes more energy to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in water than it takes to run the car.


  2. I haven't heard or read about water fueled car from Japan. But I have been reading about the home made water fuel cars. I want to setup the water4gas system on my car.

    i know people are saying that they are a scam, but what's wrong in trying. I'll just consider it as an experiment that cost me $100 or so. And plus, the videos on youtube makes me think that they are for real.

  3. you can't use water as a fuel but you can make it the exuast of the car it is called a hydrogen fuel cell or something like that. when you put the hydrogen in your car it creates water with oxygen when they combine they produce energy or somthing like that. but the others are right you can't use water as a fuel but it can be an exaust.

  4. Campbel is correct and it's easy to prove. Find someone who is willing to sell you their water-powered car, not just a "kit" so you can convert your own car. You won't find any because you'd find out right away the car won't run on water and empty promises, but by the time you build and install the kit your money has been spent. The only way to use water as a fuel is to split it into hydrogen and oxygen and that's so inefficient it takes more energy to split it than you get from the hydrogen and oxygen. Water can't and never will be a fuel source for the simple reason that you always have to put in more energy than you'll get back out, at least until you can pour some into your Mr. Fusion fusion reactor and that's still a lifetime or two away.

    The Japanese Genepax is another example. If it were genuine they'd invite someone more qualified than a reporter to examine the car to ensure there isn't actually another energy source providing power. You just can't get energy from water without putting more energy in than you can get back out. If they've found a way to do that they'd be very open about it since it would guarantee them a Nobel Prize.

  5. We have also a inventor of a water fueled car but his dead now.. I think his name is Stan Meyer if I remember
