Petrol pricey? Japanese invent car that runs on water

The car that runs on water

Tired of petrol prices rising daily at the pump? A Japanese company has invented an electric-powered, and environmentally friendly, car that it says runs solely on water.

Genepax unveiled the car in the western city of Osaka on Thursday, saying that a liter (2.1 pints) of any kind of water — rain, river or sea — was all you needed to get the engine going for about an hour at a speed of 80 km (50 miles).

    Yea der was also a guy that created a washing machine that used only water and radiation and it wash cleaner than modem machines now. He went public then soon after gone missing because what was said was the gov thought the world was not ready for this type of technology. Gadgets we got now was already made long long time ago. Info from No name. So don’t be suprise.

    The first that ever made a car that runs on water was killed. The greed system was not ready for that and think he was a black man.

      There was a guy who claimed he cracked the formula for cold fusion.. using water as energy and it was sea water he used.. he said it was 10X better than kerosene..Well a few weeks after publishing that he went missing.. why? lets ask shell and the oil comps. there was another story like that with a guy who claimed he created micro nano tech..he actually created a silicone circuit board,. same thing went missing.. till this day no one knows where he is.. he did hide his research but no one knows where to look.

    That’s the new generation of cars. As I’ve said before, the next war is war for water. The oil empire is crumbling, the capitalist world is crumbling!

      Your Arab and muslim brothers will lose out,it’s time for them to drink their oil.

        April 12, 2011

        The masses of muslims do not benefit from the oil. Can’t you open your eyes to what is going on in the ME? The people have risen up against their Western installed leaders.

        Tiny, we await the messiah as well but unfortunately, you think a jewish messenger is god.

        How can you worship a jewish god? Are you insane? More so, as Michael Angelo has drawn it, a white European god.
