the w car,
the water car,
that runs on nothing but water...
April 7, 2011
Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but
water. The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that
is poured into the car's tank. The generator then releases electrons that
produce electric power to run the car. The electric powered car can run on any
type of water (you can even use tea and soda…etc). The car can run for an hour
at about 50 miles per hour on just a liter of water; about 2 cans of soda
worth. Genepax, the company that invented the technology, aims to collaborate
with Japanese manufacturers to mass produce it.
Unlike other electric cars, the Genepax car does not require that batteries be
recharged and has no emission. The water electrical generator is located in the
back of the car and when water is poured it is then broken down in order to
create electricity to power the car. Imagine what such a generator could do to
the oil industry, the nuclear plants and the electrical grid.
That story broke in 2008. Today Japan is producing hydrogen fueled cars – the
Honda FCX Clarity. Combine the technology of Genepax with the technology of the
Honda FCX Clarity and you have a full production vehicle that uses no gasoline.
No gasoline combustion means zero emissions.
In 2010, it is reported that there are a total of 50 FCX Clarity available for
lease in the U.S with a target to have 200 available world-wide.
The Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell-electric vehicle has been chosen to be the pace
car for the opening race of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series, from 25-27 March
2011. This is the first-time a hydrogen-powered vehicle will pace an IZOD
IndyCar Series race in the United States.
Propelled by an electric motor that runs on electricity generated in a fuel
cell, the FCX Clarity's only emission is water and its fuel efficiency is three
times that of a similar-sized petrol-powered automobile. The FCX Clarity's
performance and acceleration are comparable to a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine
with an EPA certified range of 240 miles. The compact and powerful Honda V Flow
Fuel Cell Stack allows for unprecedented spaciousness and a futuristically
stylish, low-slung design and spacious interior.
Since the vehicle's unveiling there were nearly 80,000 people around the world
who expressed interest in owning a FCX Calrity. 80,000 people who won't be
buying any more gasoline once they take possession.
