Fill Her Up... With Water?

Genepax says its new concept car equipped with the company's soon-to-be-patented Water Energy System (WES) can run for up to an hour at 80kph on just 1L of water from any source, including rainwater!

So how does it work? Well, we've all heard about hydrogen-powered cars. They sound good in theory, but the problem has been how to go about converting all that oil infrastructure to a hydrogen one. The WES energy system solves this problem by extracting hydrogen from water, as it is running. The generator then releases electrons to power the car. Brilliant solution. It might even wash out the need for hydrogen infrastructure completely.

We are waiting with baited breath for the latest drops of news from Genepax, and hoping they get the jumpstart they are looking for with a major car manufacturer.

Although the company's English website is a little bare, you can see the car on the road at Reuters Video. We'll keep you posted on the latest from the next Genepax press night and presentation coming soon.
