One of the most effective ways that I know to clear the air is to compare and contrast the hydrogen car with the water car. The hydrogen car runs on compressed hydrogen gas or liquid hydrogen pumped from outside the vehicle into a tank.

The run your car on water car uses H2O stored onboard, electrolyzes it to create HHO gas and uses this as supplementary fuel for a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle. Where people get confused are the similarities.

Both the hydrogen car and water car can start with H2O and create hydrogen from it in order to run or partly run the vehicle. The question is first, where does this conversion from H2O to hydrogen occur. If it occurs outside the vehicle and then pumped into the vehicle’s tank this is a hydrogen car.

If water is stored onboard the vehicle, however, and electrolyzed, this hydrogen on demand technology is a characteristic of a run your car on water vehicle. In this scenario, water is electrolyzed into HHO gas then pumped into the vehicle’s intake system where it mixes with the gasoline or diesel and helps this fuel to burn more cleanly and completely.

Another area of confusion is that some websites call the HHO generator a water fuel cell or HHO fuel cell or something similar. This is misleading terminology. A hydrogen fuel cell goes inside a hydrogen car. HHO generators or hydrogen generators go inside typical gasoline-powered internal combustion engine vehicles.

I hope this clears up the confusion. Many people get these two very different technologies mixed up because many webmasters themselves are very mixed up.

There is a lot of confusion with some people regarding fuel cell cars and gasoline-powered cars that use HHO generators for supplemental energy. Much of the confusion started with Stan Meyer and his Water Fuel Cell car or dune buggy that supposedly ran using only H2O and nothing else.

But, the Stan Meyer water car was shown to be a fraud by an Ohio court and fuel cell cars in the 1990’s were just coming into their own, so the comparison and confusion have continued to this day. There is one website that I’ve found that is trying to clear up the confusion between HHO generators and hydrogen cars by showing contrast between the two technologies.

When it comes down to basics, the HHO generator produces hydrogen and oxygen from water as a supplemental fuel for gasoline-powered cars. Fuel cell vehicles, on the other hand use pure, compressed hydrogen gas to create electricity to run the electric motors on the vehicles. Anyway, as nutshells go, this is it, so don’t be fooled or confused by websites that state otherwise.

Okay, so Reuters ran a story about a Japanese car called Genepax that supposedly runs totally on water. Now, every few years when gas prices get high, these kinds of stories surface.

The Stanley Meyers water car (dune buggy) was found to be a fraud by the state of Ohio before he died of an aneurism, but claiming he had been poisoned. The public is fascinated with the theoretical water car that violates the laws of thermodynamics.

People somehow want a perpetual motion machine and the idealism of free energy for all. While this is a great idealistic thought, the realities are more mundane.

The reality is that the makers of Genepax have made a claim and not given us enough information about the vehicle to verify or debunk this claim. What is for sure is that this Genepax water car cannot run infinitely just by filling it with H2O.

Some have theorized the Genepax contains a fuel cell or reverse fuel cell. Others save it has an HHO generator. Others say it is an electric car with an enormous bank of batteries to split the water. And, yet others claim the Japanese water car uses a chemical reactant with the water to create hydrogen to run the vehicle. If it uses some sort of metal or chemical reactant this will deteriorate over time and must be considered part of the fuel that drives the car.

There are of course legitimate hydrogen gas savers that one can use to put one one’s gasoline-powered car. But, the Genepax is not claiming this. It’s makers are claiming miracles.

The purpose of this “Run My Car on Water” blog is to review different websites in this industry and their products, services and information. There is lot of fact and fiction about hydrogen generators for cars right now that needs to be sorted out.

It is the intention of this website to clarify the facts about HHO gas and its application in automobiles and separate that from the fiction of “water cars.” Cars that run 100-percent on water are fiction and need to be presented as such. Also, hydrogen cars should not be confused with gasoline-powered or diesel-powered cars that run partly on HHO gas.
