Is Genepax Water Car a Hoax?
After seeing that Reuter's video on Genepax's water car, and doing all the background research, and writing story which ended up in wikipedia as well… I have few thoughts I wish to share with you my reader…
Before posting my story on Genepax water car I did a few days of research on finding anything related, and was overwhelmed with number of existing solutions that use water to run some sort of engine or car. Yes - water is always used as a fuel - to be (by different kind of procedures) transformed into hydrogen, which then is the final source of energy…
But the idea of getting car run on water seem to be older than gas cars - even Tesla at end of 1890's way toying with the idea, and some source claim, he even managed to get it working… (caution: possible conspiracy fairytale), but then every 20 years some "inventor" was publicly showing off something related to producing free energy from water… One of those was also Stanley Meyer, who died in shady circumstances, and whose water car prototype was stolen shortly after… Also a number of patents were filled as one might find in patents database…
What also amazed me, was THOUSANDS of videos on youtube, showing people working on free energy cars - running on water, hydrogen and even something called orgone energy (whatever that may be)… Just google for "joe cell" or "hydrogen cell"… or "orgone energy"… All these videos - made by thousands of different people - in last 20 years time frame - can they all be one large hoax?
Maybe, but personally I believe there is something to it (I do recognize a bunch of fake videos, intended as ads for various e-books selling water car conversion manual… Careful with those..)…
In last week I also build my own "Joe Cell", and I can confirm, that with $14 worth of materials, and a car battery charger, I was able to produce hydrogen gas. Can this be used to run a car? Probably not out of the box, and probably not efficient (when looking on whole energy-footprint), but with something advanced - why not. As one of my readers commented, and with what I couldn't agree more:
The First Law of Thermodynamics was derived in the mid 1800's. To think that this knowledge applies to everything in the universe when in the 1800's people never heard of atomic explosions which by the way release much larger quantities of energy then is used up to cause the explosion is ludicrous. Not everything in the universe can possibly be explained by this law because we don't know everything about the universe……. Believing that something wont work because of something thought up over 100 years ago is blind on your part. Where would we be today if we though like people 100 years ago. Heck DNA was thought to be unimportant until the mid 1900's. I just say why not? Prove them wrong yourself or prove them right.
I do not hold degree in chemistry or physics, but as I started my careere as a computer magazine journalist I got my share of insider information from industry giants like … Toshiba, where they have developed and tested and ready to mass-produce battery-recharging technology, that would recharge laptop battery from empty to full in 3 minutes… Why don't they release it? Because Toshiba is part of larger multi-billion-corporation, which has strong ties also with Oil related corporations - and that was seen as a bad business move… Don't believe me? See video on that site, or google it- many sources confirm it. It is also cheap technology - that would raise the price of battery by only 10-15%… Also, I am sure you heard stories about Ni-MH batteries - where a company which invented the most promising battery technology (GM Ovonics) lately was bought by Texaco/Chevron oil company, and consequently all right to use this kind of battery in electric cars was limited to NO PLUGINS. Heck, you saw a movie "Who killed electric car"…
What I want to say is - keep your mind open.
Sooner or later, the next step in technology evolution will happen, no matter how much resources and money holders of today's largest money incomes are pouring into delaying this day…
BTW… I also contacted Genepax for more information, and will report here in detail as soon as something new happens! But from my dealings with Japanese people and companies - who still very much believe in honour - I do not think Genepax is a hoax. But lets wait and see…

I agree, no matter how many corporations try to stop us from getting off their CRUD… We WILL, and much sooner than they think! For some more examples of alternative vehicles check out: http://www.HiddenBuzz.com

The idea that a rock rolls from the top of the hill, down to the bottom of the hill, is tens of thousands of years old. And the only way to get that rock to the top of the hill is to use some energy to get it back up the hill.
Water is at the bottom of the chemical hill.
Hydrogen and Oxygen are at the top.
Things at the top of the hill always want to go to the bottom. Thats why hydrogen burns and makes water and gives off energy.
If you want to make Hydrogen again you need energy to push that rock to the top of the hill.
The first rule of thermodynamics will stand, in perpetuity, just as the law of gravity allows the rock to roll down that hill.
Water is at the bottom of the energy hill, thats why the earth has so much of it.
Its a scam
