H2O Car - Water Powered Car
A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.

Repeat after me: "water is not a fuel, water is not a fuel, water is not a fuel". Reporters never ask the obvious question, which is: where is the energy coming from to break down the water into hydrogen? The makers of this car suggest that it is a chemical process, which means the actual fuel is something else (commentors on another site have suggested this car uses lithium metal or gallium-aluminum pellets.).

Re: H2O Car - Water Powered Car
well said. even if the car was somehow using part of the energy leftover from running the car to break down more H2O... that would make this some kind of wacky perpetual motion machine... not to mention that if it's "using up" this water... what the heck is it expelling?

"hydrogen dioxide"? More like hydrogen hydroxide. It's H2O not HO2.

Water is not a fuel. Water is not a fuel. It takes energy to split the water molecules. More energy in than out is not a way to power anything.
