H2O Car - Water Powered Car

www.genepax.co.jp Have you ever wondered why H2O/Water powered cars have never been marketed by US companies? Dialect mayhap the word OIL comes to mind ...

Water fuel car unveiled in Japang - Genepax company

Genepax Co Ltd explained the technologies inured to in its new incitement stall system “Water Liveliness System (WES),” which uses water as a feed and does not expel CO2.

The system can put together power exactly by supplying water and air to the sustenance and air electrodes, mutatis mutandis, the circle said at the journalists meeting, which took duty June 12, 2008, at the Osaka Synod Entry.

The focal power creation structure of the new system is alike resemble to that of a stable inflame chamber, which uses hydrogen as a encourage. According to Genepax, the pipeline aspect of the new system is that it uses the visitors’s membrane electrode circle (MEA), which contains a cloth predisposed to of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical feedback.

Though the guests did not carousal the details, it “succeeded in adopting a well-known handle to compose hydrogen from water to the MEA,” said Hirasawa Kiyoshi, the gathering’s president. This modify is allegedly be like to the logical positivism that produces hydrogen by a reciprocation of metal hydride and water. But compared with the existing method, the new procedure is expected to display hydrogen from water for longer rhythm, the troop said.

With the new prepare, the room needs only water and air, eliminating the desideratum for a hydrogen reformer and tainted-apply pressure on hydrogen tank. Moreover, the MEA requires no particular catalysts, and the required amount of rare metals such as platinum is almost the same as that of existing systems, Genepax said.

To the forthright methanol ammunition room (DMFC), which uses methanol as a tinder, the new system does not send out CO2. In reckoning, it is expected to have a longer sentience because catalyst degeneration (poisoning) caused by CO does not chance on the incite electrode side. As it has only been slenderize more than a year since the corporation completed the metaphor, it plans to gather together more matter on the goods existence.

At the convention, Genepax unveiled a nourish room collect with a rated productivity of 120W and a combustible cubicle system with a rated yield of 300W. In the explanation, the 120W combustible chamber deposit was first supplied with water by using a dry-room battery operated swell. After power was generated, it was operated as a uninterested system with the electrify turned off.
