We all have seen plenty of promises about water-powered cars, and we have not been satisfied YET, … Until now, it looks like Japan’s Genepax has now made some real progress on that end, with it lately taking the wraps off its Water Energy System fuel cell prototype. The secret to the system, it seems, is its membrane electrode assembly (aka. “MEA”), which contains a material that is capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction. Not surprisingly, the company isn’t getting much more in-depth about it, I wonder.. , with only saying that it’s adopted a “well-known process to produce hydrogen from water to the MEA.” Currently, that system costs on the order of about $18,700 — not including the car, but company says that if it can get it into mass production that could be cut to just under $5,000. This is Fantastic, I’m looking forward to see it on our street soon.
