Charge Your Car from the Tap

Japanese inventors are great. They brought us Robo-Dogs, Goggles that can help us find things and of course, how can we forget the wireless hello kitty phone. But this time they have something really great and that’s inventing a car that runs on water.

You’ve heard us right. No need for high oil prices, no need to go to wars in far away countries.

All you need to do is to take a garden hose and put in the fuel tank. The process works with a fuel cell that breaks the water into their basic ingredients: Hydrogen and oxygen.

Then the car uses the hydrogen to drive the car. Using hydrogen to power cars is not something new. But up until now the main problem was storing and moving the hydrogen which is highly flammable.

Genepax which invented the system is not publishing all the details behind the new system from obvious reasons. But the company promises it can make the system for $5,000 (not including the car) on mass production.

Here is a video of the car in action:

Will water prices go up when we all drive water cars? we hope not, because that’s mean that will have to drink oil.
