Do you wonder what will happen if the petrol prices continue to rise like this? Well, relax yourselves by reading this story Japanese invent a Car that runs on water. Yes, you heard it right and I am completely sane to say that. Follow the Reuters News Story on the topic and here's a collection of Google News stories. Genepax is that Japanese firm that unveiled the car in Osaka (Japan). They say that all the car needs is a litre of plain water (from a river, sea or rain water). The car clocks a speed of 80km per hour for that one litre water. Now, you may be skeptical about the invention. You are perfectly normal.

Do you know about the story of the guy who invented the motor boat. Well, when he went in to prove by demonstrating his new invention, all the people who were skeptical about the idea of an engine-powered boat shouted, 'It won't work. You loser!'. After few minutes, the motor boat started and soared on to the river. Now, the same crowd shouted, 'Ah, the motor boat won't stop!'. The point of the story is regardless of the invention, regardless of what year you are living, regardless of what you already studied - you would object to an invention unless you see it in action. You can't be blamed, that's how the world had functioned, is functioning and will continue to function. All inventors has to face a strong opposition from all corners and they must need to hear "It won't work , you moron!" shouts. Newton went through it. Darwin went through it. Going a step further, Arthur C. Clarke wrote the four stages in the way scientists react to a new invention. They are:

1) "It's nonsense,"

2) "It is not important,"

3) "I always said it was a good idea," and

4) "I thought of it first."

Petrol prices are sky rocketing everywhere. We need an alternative fuel for Petrol or Diesel because, already most of the automobile owners have converted their vehicles to run on cheaper Gasoline. Now, the new era starts - the age of clean fuels. Clean fuels are completely renewable, does not do any harm to the environment. Hydrogen powered cars (more commonly referred as water fuelled cars) are leaving the labs and making in roads to the real-world. I know you would go mad if you believe my words - a car that runs with water as a fuel - is a completely true. There were hiccups, but it has been achieved and you would believe it when you see the cars running with water as fuel.

Method 1: Hydrogen Cars - Theoretically feasible NOT available commercially.

Hydrogen powered cars work on the principle that by splitting water by electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen can power the vehicle leaving water as the residue. This has been practically demonstrated by leading Research and Development agencies of developed nations. The problem, however is it is not yet cost effective. Honda in it's specially designed web site announces that by the year 2009, the first hybrid car would be commercially available. It wont be very cheap, we can bet. The people who owned the test hybrid cars have complained about the poor mileage. So, it would take at least 5 years before you can get an economically viable hydrogen-powered car.

Method 2: Dual Fuel mode - Practically possible and currently available (YES!).

Now if you are a computer geek, you might have heard of a term "dual boot" which allows to install Linux and Windows on the same computer. While starting your PC, you can choose which operating system you would like to use. In the same way, there are some auto-mechanisms that help you to run your car on either water or gasoline at the same time. This is unbelievable at first sight, but check out the user stories and real-life examples on how to Run a car with Water or Gasoline by fixing some simple spare parts. The Water4Gas system is Do-It-Yourself, affordable and simple technology that costs just $200 or less and increases the mileage of your vehicle. You can read all about the user experiences in their web site. The advantages of this method include

1. You use a DIY generator that converts water into hydrogen and you will no longer spend any money for fuel.
2. Your engine's mileage would improve by 75%.
3. It is 100% secure and safe method and you need only the things that you can find on a garage.
4. The Government can not stop for tweaking your car as this method is perfectly is legal.
5. You can always go back to a gasoline or petrol mechanism when the petrol/diesel/gas prices go cheap.
6. The product comes with a money back guarantee so your money is safe.
7. There are tens and thousands of people who have made the switch successfully. You can read their stories by yourself.

Why is this not made public?

It is for the same reason why the electric cars were killed. Automobile giants do not want you to shift from a Petrol/Diesel powered vehicle to any other type of vehicle. Remember that Japanese company that invented the car that runs with water as fuel last week? Companies such as those would be leading the automobile industry in this new millennium. Yeah, it is same as how Google a once-worked-from-garage-company leads the Internet as the old stalwarts such as Microsoft and Apple struggle. The choice is yours, you can experiment and make a shift NOW or continue to blame the government for petrol price hikes and fight for everyday survival. Whatever choice you may make, you will be rewarded aptly.
