Original article source, pictures: https://somto.com/trouble-for-nigeria-other-crude-oil-economies-as-toyota-honda-produce-cars-that-run-on-water/ If you watched local TV channels at a lot in the late 2000s just like me, you must have seen that Bank PHB advert where they predicted that “one day, cars will run on water”. The advert shows a man driving his car on the highway and when the fuel gauge signaled an empty tank, he stopped the car at a fueling station and refilled it with water before continuing his journey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRwPc5yJqCo lalasticlala 2 Likes 1 Share

Hydrogen gas is very expensive in nature. You can not remove hydrogen from water. Not by heating no by any other chemical reaction. So cars can never run on water. 2 Likes |

While I am aware of emerging technologies and the fact that technology is dynamic, I will say categorically that cars will never run on water, at least there will be no mass production on cars that run on water. Hydrogen cars may emerge in the market but the hydrogen will never be produced by using water. Water isn't as cheap as you think. If all cars are to run on water, there will be no more water for humans, animals and plants. 2 Likes |

femidejulius: Very wrong. The by-product of cars that runs on water is water. What you should be woried about is the flamability of hydrogen which is far more dangerous and volatile than petrol 3 Likes |

I will rather You call it the breathing car since it breathes in oxygen to react with other element. besides, you don't fuel it directly with water, instead water is part of its bye product. Only when there is a converter that can transform water fuel to hydrogen then can it be eligible for such qualification. |

eelbay: Think about it. How many gallons of petrol do you think cars run on in Nigeria alone? How many Nigerians do not have access to water? How many has to ration it daily especially in the dry season? If cars start using water, it will be more scare. Even in developed countries, water is retreated and recirculated. In developing countries, groundwater is being depleted daily. Water isn't as cheap as you think. 2 Likes |

Basher8583: The volatility of hydrogen can be controlled. Naturally gases for instance is not stable too but advancement in technology has made it possible to be transported over long distances through pipelines without any problems. So, hydrogen can be stabilised in cars. I am not worried about that. My worries is where to get the water to power them. Lots of countries lack water and have to recycle the little it has. Lots that has water have significantly depleted their underground water sources. Others waste the water they have. There are so many cars in the world. If hydrogen is removed from H2O, what you have left is oxygen, so the by-product of a car that uses the hydrogen in water will be Oxygen. Modified: Even the picture earlier on this page claim water will be ejected via the exhaust, therefore it collaborates my earlier stand that more water will be needed and global water consumption will become very high. Water from exhaust can't be saved, can it? 1 Like |

femidejulius: @bolded shows you know nothing about chemistry. Please stay in your lane. You know nothing about the stability of hydrogen. Do you know how emense the explosion will be for the hydrogen tank to rupture. How do you stabilise that. It is more volatile than petrol which is dense by the way and has been a reason why it hasn't gain much traction since it's introduction as a propellant for cars. Besides the hydrogen is stored under intense presure (about 10,000psi). Imagine rupturing that. I can tell you for free that no one will find your pieces after the crash. No body wants to buy a moving bomb! Even the use of Kevlar coated tanks cannot stop it. Imagine everytime you enter you new hydrogen powered whip is like an attempt at suicide. Lol |

Basher8583: This shows you know nothing about geophysics, water and sustainability. I told you already about ground water depletion. So you dig boreholes all over the world and when volcanic eruption occur, boom! You are gone and we can't find your remains. And what happens if you finish the underground water that took millions of years to be underneath us? I have access to all the water I need personally but unlike you I am not ignorant to understand that there are billions of you and I all over the world that can't rely on boreholes for water. |

Surprisingly, way back in 2008 -2009 a small company in Osaka Japan named Genepax came up with a working prototype of a car powered by water. Running a car on water has been the holy grail for car manufacturers for some time now, but it appears that a Japanese company named Genepax may have pulled ahead of the competition with a prototype vehicle that runs entirely on water . The painful thing is that the company just couldn't survive. And I have been asking myself why would such a wonderful dream be buried without any reason?
