Agree that a few more details on the power plant are needed. If this is true, isn’t it a perpetual motion machine? Why not capture the water vapor coming out of the tail pipe and put it back into the fuel tank?

The technology sounds highly questionable but considering the massive amount of potential energy contained in water there’s no reason to assume the premise violates the 1st law of thermodynamics. It’s only a matter of finding a way to release/harness this energy with some level of efficiency (as we currently do with fossil fuels). Maybe Genepax found the way. Maybe it’s a hoax.

Agreed… it takes a lot of electrical power to separate hydrogen and oxygen from H2O. A fuel cell then combines these two elements and uses the energy released to power an electric car. Not sure where the “water” car gets it’s power from???

the real question is ” energy can neither be created nor be destroyed” under ordinary conditions. ( I am not talking of nuclear reaction). where does the energy required for the breakdown of water come from?. Hard to beleive until the real scientific principles involved are unveiled
