A company in Japan has invented a car that runs on water as a fuel. One?

Is this statemrnt correct?

wow, i never thought of it that way, you make a really good point, but i dont know if your correct cuz i’m only approaching 8th grade, so i will learn more about it eventually, but u do make a good point.

Pulling molecules of water apart requires tremendous energy. I’d like to know where they’re getting THAT energy from.

The same amount of energy used you can use it is it exists would out put waterthe problem with available oxygen car such as fuel generates.
The same amount of energy to create the one described if it is it as understand it is it is it takes the same amount of energy used you can use it as understand it is it as fuel generates.

This has been misrepresented by Reuters, they said it runs on nothing but water. In a recent GENEPAX statement, the car is powered by metal hydrides (expensive) which need to be replenished as much as gas in gas driven cars. It was made like this because it causes less emissions, not because it runs “only on water” It is in fact very much the same as other hydrogen fuel cell cars already on the market.

This statement is not correct. Water cannot be put into a car as fuel. Hydrogen can be used as fuel, but it must be separated from the oxygen in the water molecules. The energy needed for the separation must be supplied externally to the car. The fuel cell car that uses hydrogen expels the water vapor as a waste product.
Fundamentally, the statement flagrantly dodges the problem posed by the first law of thermodynamics: energy is conserved in a closed system.

The exhaust of such system will in effect be water vapour itself.

For proof of energy which is not only very inefficient the tank the water reacts with metal hydride to release.
