  1. No idea how this makes sense.  The electrolysis of water takes a lot of energy.  The only way to get more energy from the hydrogen than you put in to get the hydrogen OUT of the water is by fusion.  I somehow doubt they have a cold fusion generator running in there...

    anyhow, before I looked up this supposed water powered japanese ... thing, I had written another answer.  It's still relevant to other 'water powered cars' and also answers your concern about polution.

    Water is not the power source or the main product of these cars.  Electricity (from whatever source - green I hope) is used to electrolyse water, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen.  The hydrogen is then used as fuel for the car, combining with oxygen from our atmosphere to create water again.

    Therefore, water is the car's waste product, and the source for the hydrogen, but not used up or created by the process.

    'Water power' isn't some fantasy power source, but simply a name for hydrogen powered vehicles that get their hydrogen from zapping water instead of burning natural gas.

  2. Yes.  Anyone who disagrees or asks the wrong questions about this is in the pay of 'Big Water'.

  3. It won't affect the planet's water supply in any way. When the car uses water, the water changes into water vapor, condense into a cloud, and precipitate right back down to earth.
