H20 Cars

• Jun. 1 by Stacey Spencer (2)

Technology has now advanced into applying water to fuel in order to try and help cut emissions to help the environment.

Water is electronyzed to create oxyhydrogen gas, HHO. This is then added to the petrol or diesel in cars. This new mixture of fuel is now enriched with hydrogen. The hydrogen enriched fuel now burns more efficiently, looking to produce less emissions.

Some Water Powered Cars have been invented to run purely on water, replacing gasoline. Japanese company ‘Genepax’ have been successful in creating this eco friendly car.  The energy generator  in the car extracts hydrogen from water, which is then poured into the car’s tank. Electrons are then released, which then produce and supply the car with electric power. The car then works as a functioning vehicle.

Birmingham mechanic, Newton Spencer said;

“I’m not suprised at this… I’m a little sceptical on how it will work in the long term concerning water.”

These water powered cars have undergone much debate. Views have been informative and ‘for’ the technology, whilst others have taken on a more sceptical perspectives.

Birmingham environmentalist, Jim Paxx said;

“This is a great piece of technology for helping the environment.”

He suggested that “it could work” and that “the environment would benefit.” However water supplies could be “possibly under threat” from the transformation and extracting processes.

The fact that inventors have started to think about water powered cars is an achievement. Further steps towards trying to help the environment are being looked at, and have taken on extreme and creative measures. Whether H20 cars will work as a long term solution to creating cars to burn more efficiently, cutting emissions is an ongoing story. However, the fact that cars are being created and run on water is the first step to seeing a possibly greener environment in terms of technology.
