Japanese manufacturer, Genepax is unveiling it’s prototype vehicle that converts water into hydrogen. The heart of this process is a membrane electrode assembly which breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Genepax claims that one liter of water can generate enough power to move the car at a speed of 80km/h for up to an hour. The company is estimating that once production of the vehicle begins, the cost of the current $18,500 vehicle will be closer to $5000 US dollars. True zero emissions, hmmmmm.

There are others who are saying that the water-powered car is nothing new, and in fact Genepax is doing nothing more than raising false hopes. Take a look at what is being reported at Treehugger.com
