Hate to tell you but a guy made one in the 30s for a contest I think chevy held ,surprisingly the motor,the blueprints, and the guy all disappeared never to be seen again. Incase anyone was wondering how I know this, I tried to do a book report on the carburetor back in the 80s
in new zealand a guy was running a toyota car on water in the 70s his name was archie blue and he was an electrician he was doing what toyota is doing now the theory was he had capacitors to each spark plug and they broke the water down into its separate components so i believe the theory does work anyway he died and his car disappeared so its makes you wonder what happened to him.Appartently he ran his car for years without any issues .

I may be dumb about this, but wouldn't this be like a perpetual motion machine? It takes as much energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen as you get back by burning the hydrogen.
Stanley Meyer proved that Maxwellian "LAW" to be a lie but that's not why they killed him per-se. His under 5 amp 110 volt system was patented in many countries when murdered. The climate lie would have bit the dust had his system gone into mass production, thus the tax on "carbon" would not be justifiable. T H A T S W H Y T H E Y K I L L E D H I M.
Not at all. When you charge a car battery for instance, hydrogen gas is produced, because of the current running through the distilled water in the battery 🔋...😉
Doesn’t this violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics that means you would have to put more energy into splitting water 💦 before burning 🔥 and combining it back into water 💦 again?
The presentation of the idea is COMPLETELY wrong. Whoever has written the script, is not really Science literate. (I wonder how deep was the involvement of chatGPT). The system is not "Fueled" with water. It is fueled with electricity that is used to electrolyze water. ( @1:31 ) Water is just the working fluid. It gets broken down into Hydrogen & Oxygen. The Hydrogen should get separated from Oxygen & stored into a tank for being oxidized back to water in the IC engine. The whole thing still runs on electricity. It is just changing the battery from Lithium ions based system to Hydrogen based one. It is a lot of jumping around in terms of thermodynamics & too complex. For the foreseeable future, I will not be moving my investment from Tesla to Toyota shares.
It probably won't actually combine it back into water otherwise there'd be no energy for the car to use. Even the "actual water engines" people have made for their own cars in videos imply they still have to refill the tank with water but equally as gas vehicles
@@mastupilo9653 I have no idea how these are supposed to work. If you use energy (in any form) to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen you will ALWAYS get less energy back when you burn the hydrogen. If you don't burn the hydrogen, as you suggest, then no energy will be released.
This reminds me of Filipino Daniel Dingel's invention of a water powered engine for his car, with the same idea of splitting hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from a small battery
In November 2000, John Ding Young of Formosa Plastics Group (FPG) sought Dingel out and, convinced that the invention was genuine, signed a "preliminary understanding" with him for several projects.[3] He aimed to have business partners, get an international patent, and commercialize his technology.[4] In December 2008, Dingel became even more controversial when he was found guilty and sentenced to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment in an estafa (swindling) case filed against him by Young and FPG. In a decision dated December 9, 2008, Judge Rolando How of the Parañaque Regional Trial Court's Branch 257 found him guilty of taking $410,000 from FPG, saying that Dingel "defrauded Young when the inventor failed to fulfill his obligation of developing his 'hydrogen reactor' and creating experimental cars in 2000 Dingel died on October 18, 2010, in Las Pinas City, Metro Manila in the Philippines
You are right to raise this question. The video does not explain where the electricity comes from for the electrolysis. However,, I think it comes down to whether it takes more energy to break down water than the power output of the engine.
@@ludas6024 Yes, you can split water with only 12 volts, but can it generate enough hydrogen to run a car engine continuously? If so, what size would the electrolysis equipment need to be?
It takes "at least" as much power/energy to separate hydrogen from water (electrolysis) as you get back from "recombining" the hydrogen with oxygen in the combustion chamber (combustion). In the real world (according to the laws of thermodynamics), you will always get less back. What a load of shit.
@@kencentury Check out Stan Meyers' process - he did not use electrolysis. He came up with a way to split water into HH + O that employs high voltage at high frequency, with current (anps) approaching zero. He used water as a dielectric between 2 plates (in close proximity) which act as a capacitor, but charge polarity never reverses (unlike alternating current).
@@donbradyjr.5624 Correct...As I remember.....one of the street rod magazines, at that time, actually tested the Smoky's engine mod on a Pontiac Fiero. Worked like a charm....better mileage, plus more horsepower. The patient was sold to one of the popular camshaft manufacturers.....they then sold to another company.....who buried the tech. It preheated gasoline to vapor point....fed to a turbine - like, high speed mixer....then fed to intake ports. Required camshaft swap...and downsizing radiator as engine also ran much cooler. Smokey Yunick, was a brillant engine designer!
About 14 years ago I did a home built HHO system it worked in a 1996 dodge neon getting 30 mpg up to 48mpg. Down fall was the system had to be kept an eye on like everyday. I would burn up plates or the coating on the plates would get bad to where the currant would not pass through any more. Regardless it worked in conjunction with gas not just the HHO alone.
I see videos like that all the time on UA-cam and in the comments section all I find is criticism due to the laws of thermal dynamics. Can you provide any plans or get me into the right directions so I can try it out myself? Most videos are done really badly and hence lack in views so I guess people have no benefit of making them. I have to find out by myself to see what's true.
By the way, I saw a video just recently where a guy (it was on the TNT channel) made a generator instead of stainless steel with graphene plates. He said graphene is not as prone to corrosion and therefore the generator lasts way longer. Also he mixed urea (basically a form of nitrogen vertilizer) into the water as it increases electrolysis. I don't know what to do with all the info yet but it sure sounds promising!
what is the tech break through - most proposed water-fuelled cars rely on some form of electrolysis to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen and then recombine them to release energy; however, because the energy required to separate the elements will always be at least as great as the useful energy released, this cannot be used to produce net energy.
Exactly. Is it so easy to fool people these days? Haven't these guys ever been to school? The only way to make energy from water is to build a bloody dam!
I heard that story in the Philippines in the late 80's. The man who claimed to discover the plain water as fuel to the car mysteriously disappeared and never to be found.
I agree with smferreiro. The article is light on engineering. We all know what water is, where it comes from and that you can store it in plastic containers but where does the considerable amount of electric power come from? There will still need to be some onboard storage of hydrogen as the electrolysis system will not be able to match the rapid changes required by the engine. Will the electrical power be stored or generated? If generated, there will need to be a mechanism for starting the engine. We need much more info about the electrical system.
Look up water to fuel u can build one yourself with hardware store components. And yes it takes more energy to roduce than it will put out the gas produced is highly explosive and must be made in small amounts this is old tech google it
Except that Stan Meyers came up with a way to split water into hydrogen and oxygen - that requires very little energy (unlike electrolysis, which requires much more energy). The presenter in this video is (I think - assuming SM's process is employed) incorrectly claiming that electrolysis is used to break down water into hydrogen & oxygen. Stan Meyers' process uses high voltage and high frequency, with current flow approaching zero. There is no need to store any hydrogen (presenter incorrect here as well), as Stan's process converts water into HH+O "on the fly", as it is needed. (Again assuming Toyota is using Stan Meyers' process.) He also came up with an electrical method to keep the water (fuel) in the tank from freezing
Stan is the man with the plan. Let's see it stand up to even the slightest peer review. There are endless videos similar to claiming amazing (unreal) tech that amount to nothing, no product, no tech, no peer reviewed white papers...nada. Then after a while the conspiracy theorists join in and fabricate a 'suppressed by the fossil fuel industry'. Acting as a consultant engineer, I have been to many start-up tech company pie in the sky presentations to investors.
@@bobbabai I don't remember now, but at the time I read about it, it made sense. I personally know a man who met Stan in Ohio and saw his experiments. No doubt in my mind that he was legit (and a genius). He had knowledge of both water and electricity that no one else understands; in the future he will be remembered as a great inventor, at the very least.
@@samjubilee6593 I don't know how any of this makes sense unless you've got an advanced degree in physics. I imagine there's a lot of people who pretend they understand.
It seems like it! At 3:25 they refer to "diluted water", W(ever)TF that is! They might be having a laugh, or they might mean 'distilled water', but either way, if you're trying to build credibility it's not a good look!
The video is missing the most important part... where is the electricity for the on-the-fly electrolysis coming from? The resulting energy balance is way less efficient than the one of an EV.
@@hitmanx3475 From battery to electric motor to wheels you have 98% efficiency. From battery to electrolysis, to water recombination (H2 engine), to wheels, you have 40% efficiency in the best case. Math does not match the expectations!
Total, unfiltered bullshit here. The entire video skips the one significant detail that exposes the discussion as being one of perpetual motion: Where does the power for water electrolysis come from? If you're going to tell me that it's generated by the engine, you've just closed the loop in defining a perpetual motion machine. Think about it: you start with water and a bit of battery-provided power to start the electrolysis. In the end, you're supposed to get back water (the product of combusting hydrogen), enough electricity to make more hydrogen - replacing what came off the battery to jump-start the process, torque and heat. You have a zero-sum of water, a zero-sum of electricity, and an excess of heat and work? No. The energy that runs a combustion engine comes from the energy released in joining fuel and oxidizer. If you want to separate the combusted product (water) into fuel and oxidizer, you HAVE TO INVEST AT LEAST THAT MUCH ENERGY TO BREAK THE CHEMICAL BONDS. Whatever information Toyota has put out there, the video maker has misrepresented for the sake of views.
@@Rated_Wzz You really should study up. There's a lot wrong with your assumptions there. You can't run an engine on boiling water unless something is boiling the water. If the engine is expected to boil the water, it has to provide the input and the output energy - which is more energy than it started with. Warm water has no more molecules than cold water. It just has more kinetic energy. I'm pretty sure that every single sentence in your comment has a massive factual/scientific error or bad assumption in it because not a single sentence there has any truth to it.
I agree, you may as well use the mysterious electricity source (required to spit the water) directly to power the car. This idea seems to originate from 'cold fusion' research which was supposed to produce excess heat but was then debunked by most of the the scientific community many years ago.
The presentation of the idea is COMPLETELY wrong. Whoever has written the script, is not really Science literate. (I wonder how deep was the involvement of chatGPT).

Most of the information in this video is inaccurate and incorrect. The energy created by dissociation of water into hydrogen and oxygen is done with highly reactive metals that are consumed in the reaction. Water is not a fuel! It's an ash with an extremely low energy content. I don't think the video producer understands what is actually going on or whete the energy to run these engine is coming from. It's coming from the metals...
For anyone wondering. This is FAKE and it doesn't exist. You can't run on water as a fuel source for the same reason you can't make a fire with ash. Water is combusted (or what scientists call, oxydized) hydrogen. Just like ash is oxydized wood and CO2 is oxydized carbon (i.e. petrol and diesel). It's not that you can't turn water into hydrogen, you definitely can, just like you can take CO2 out of the air and make carbon that you can burn again. The problem is that, in a perfect world, it costs as much energy to turn it into its "fuel" form as what the fuel will provide when combusted. However, we don't live in a perfect world so you'll consistently lose a little bit of energy. Notice how they never mention where the electricity for the electrolysis comes from. It's the same story with all those perpetual energy devices, they always hide the energy source. Source: I'm an electrical engineer
@@waltersobchak300 you don't seem to understand how chemical reactions work. It's not that we haven't thought of a neat trick of how to make it happen. It's that it's literally proven for why it's not possible.
@@waltersobchak300 hydrogen and water are two different things. Hydrogen is flammable -- water is not. When something is flammable, like oil, propane, gasoline / petrol / diesel or hydrogen, it will give you energy to power car. You can turn water into hydrogen, yes, but it requires more energy than what you'd get by burning it or using a hydrogen fuel cell. It would be like dropping a ball from a certain height then expecting it to bounce back higher than the position you dropped it from.
I am an electrical engineer as well and I challenge you to PROVE your allegation. BTW Tesla is making the same claim about development of the water engine.
One of my friends at Penn State had this idea 40 years ago, but never pursued it. Making ammonia based contact explosives and inserting it into key holes in the Dorms Doors was more his style.
This has been done like almost 50 to 60 years ago, and it works. The only problem with this is that the person who learned this the government tried to buy the plans and the man wouldn’t sell it and all of a sudden the man woke up dead!
You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen. It takes an amount of energy. When you use that stored energy you will get a proportion of that energy back. You will always have to invest a bit more energy than you will ever get back.
😅I have read this about water engine he all of a sudden died and the engine Disappeared and the papers disappeared about the people they make cars and have petrol or diesel. We’re very happy to keep getting money. These people will stop at nothing.
This video forgot to mention that theses are electric cars with extra steps, you need a battery to separate the H2, so you still need rare earth metals and still need to charge it. 16 years ago I built a HHO/gas hybrid that because of the higher temps, pressure, and oxygen the gas burned more completely and cleanly. Gaining me 10 more miles to the gallon. Fun fact only 30% of the energy in gas is used the rest is lost to heat and out the tail pipe.
So where is the energy coming from to separate the Hydrogen from the oxygen. From the same batteries you have in a electric car? You can't ever create energy out on nothing
There is so much wrong with this video. Just where is the high-voltage power coming from? How does "this" setup bypass the laws of science, by getting more energy out of the engine than the power to separate the H2O into H and O2? Why not pipe the O2 into the engine and recombine both back into water and cool the water vapor back into liquid water so you rarely need to refill the water tank? Love a good pipe dream, but this will not work in real life.
I have respect for the Japanese people and Toyota Japan. They are great people to work with and know team work. This idea will run rings around electric vehicles and easy enough to fit into any vehicle or truck.
How many different "Toyota's New Engine will destroy EV's!" videos have I seen? I can imagine a scenario where a limited distance engine, like a forklift might possibly get enough power from this electrolysis process. He also didn't seem to mention what the electrical power source for the electrolysis was.
This will require even more electricity for the electrolysis than an electric motor. And that electricity will come from EV batteries so you still have to charge it. This will most likely use twice as much electricity as electric cars. I call bullshit here. You will again need oil changes and coolant like a gas engine.
Im pretty sure that 48v lithium cell is good enough, with a step up circuit, having enough power to perform electrolysis. They need to publish the numbers though, how much hydrogen per hour produce, and with that amount to how many miles. Ive read before, hydrogen combustion engines can reach up to 48mpg which is crazy efficient. Imagine if the tank able to hold up to 10gallons of hydrogen gas, and 1 tank consumes 25% of battery to produce. But ya, they need provide more numbers for comparisons
It would technically not be far from a conventional engine using the hydrogen as the combustion element but cleaner as there should be no pollutants expelled after ignition. It would still need a battery but once moving alternators would recharge the battery system to cause the atomic separation. I'm sure it works and ppl have been killed over the invention design guess who by ( oil giants) or who brought the patents and shelved them . The only waste is o2 . My concern would be if we all use it would we consume all the water and raise the oxegyn levels in the atmosphere? As that would be bad one we need water all living things do and during dinosaur times the oxegyn was at 35 percent. Scientists say humans can't survive at those levels it's to much . I think we're in the 20 ish percent margins currently . Nothing to drink and higher air not good .
Yup. If you find the Toyota block diagram, you'll see it runs on a huge battery stack. The electrolysis process might be efficient, but it'll never be 100%. The hydrogen combustion engine is certainly way less efficient than modern electric motors, probably 15-25%, same as today's ICE engines that have a century of development behind them. The engine will be heavier than a motor, you'll need to add a transmission, you'll need a water tank and the H2 tank. More complex, heavier, less efficient... wow, I want one of these! It'll be interesting, if Toyota really takes this anywhere, to read an engineering analysis of the real thing.
@@dmfencingbuildingservices2870 When the car cracks the H2O, it's releasing one oxygen atom for every two hydrogen atoms it puts in the tank. When it burns that hydrogen, it's pulling one oxygen atom from the air (or, hey, why not just keep the oxygen you made?), and releasing water vapor.. or cycling that back to the water tank.
Needs energy to separate the hydrogen from the water. Energy is also needed to create the distilled water in the first place. It's essentially got an internal combustion engine so it's no more or less reliable that what we have got, but it uses lubricating oil so unless they have eliminated all blow by, the exhaust will contain water tarnished with some oil. It's better, but as you say, no free lunch...
I have always said that this would be the future...and this is by no means a new concept...but those that have tried to advance it from their home garages, have met with untimely deaths...hopefully Toyota will be able to bring this out of the shadows and make it reality.....It's also too bad Detroit has sat on their hands with this......
More conspiracy theory nonsense. It seems that you would rather cling to conspiracy theory rather than educate yourself about energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics.
You can't be serious and think that what you said is true. No one has ever made an internal combustion engine that runs off of water. No one. Hydrogen, yes, but the process of converting water into hydrogen is expensive and uses more energy than it produces. It would be like you cutting down a huge tree only to whittle it down and throw away all of the shavings, just to make one toothpick.
The elephant in the room is: After saying "forget charging lithium batteries", where then is the electrical energy for all that electrolysis supposed to come from? Water isn't fuel. It is the product you get from burning hydrogen fuel. The video mentions that high voltage is needed to break the water down into hydrogen and oxygen, but never mentions how that is supposed to be driven. There will obviously still need to be a battery. At which point, the electrolysis and hydrogen engine are just middle-men to an electric motor. The holy grail fuel they are searching for is a liquid or solid substance that quickly beaks down to release hydrogen without input energy. Ideally it would be somewhat stable under storing conditions and breaks down in the presence of a catalyst. Water alone can not be this substance because you first have to put all the energy in that you would get out. Said substance would be made in factories using an energy intensive process that takes power from the grid as efficiently as possible. Avoiding the impact of divinding the production job into many smaller consumer units.
The water engine is a persious renewable engine. Now the engine is for the car, sooner will be power generating engine we expect, to replace portable gasoline power engine. It is a renewable energy power engine that the world may thankful to Toyota. Pls try renewable water engine power generator.
Pure nonsense. Where the “high power energy” for the electrolysis comes from🤔 Then the distilled water… it’s an insulator. You have to put some electrolytes in it, else no electrolysis. And electrolysis is a very high energetic and costly reaction. Nicely made though. Looks professional. Some people may even believe it😅
@user-ky7iz6up1v You still have the issue of the initial energy for the electrolysing process. And as far as I remember he mentioned that you "only have to put in distilled water". Just want to show that this story is nonsense. And from more sides.
It doesnt have you ever seen the Flintstones, start running in there, the faster you run the warmer you get, according to Greata, it all melted already and you should take a bikini, but she is dillusionnal, just a bit...
You could use a battery to run an electric motor, connect the motor to a generator which is used to charge the battery and the extra power could drive the vehicle. Same principle as using electricity to extract hydrogen from water, re-unite the hydrogen with water producing energy to keep the processw going and produce extra power. Not possible!
You almost have it...but you must add an atmospheric water generator that captures water, co2 and toxins from the atmosphere. Who will be the first car maker that saved the world? will it be Honda or Toyota? Or perhaps another auto maker. You might want to add a solar panel roof and hefty battery to assist in running the water (Fuel) capture device. I believe it can be accomplished if there are still good and honorable people left in the world...🙏
@@cruiserland3309 Unfortunately there is no process that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen without using more energy than is contained within the hydrogen produced. This is not because we just need to find a new process ... it's because of the known laws of physics I'm afraid.
Well, pure water freezes quickly in sub-zero (f) temps. So, you will also need to keep the water warm at all times, like when you're not driving in the winter. The bottom line is far more energy going into the system than you can get out of this system to make it work. Pure pipe dream.
The only assumption I am working on is that the laws of thermodynamics are incontrovertible. I am also sure that the engineers at Toyota also know that which leads me two possible conclusions. The video is a misrepresentation of what they are actually doing or it is a complete spoof.
@@andrewpelowski It cannot work at any temperature. The video is a spoof/joke or scam, can't be sure which but for sure you cannot get power from water.
This video is talking about a perpetual motion engine. It DOES NOT WORK. Takes MORE energy to generate enough electricity to sustain electrolysis than you can get out of the resultant hydrogen gas.
That idea has been around for 65 yrs or more. A bloke in NZ had a Fiat Bambina running on the same idea, breaking water into Hydrogen & Oxygen by electrolysis and burning the Hydrogen for fuel, that was back in the 1960s.
@@neildewitt2869 It can't be patented... it's a perpetual motion machine. Not what Toyota's actually talking about, but anything that claims the water is the fuel.

And after reviewing this more, and in other information on the internet, I'm convinced this is a pure hoax and not something Toyota is working on.
4:40 distilling water isn't chemistry. It's physics. There's no chemical reaction. Only thing closest thing to chemistry is that the process of distilling can be used to separate materials in a chemistry lab.
Wow that's not just sustainable, it's the perpetual motion motor dream. Do they use some of the engine's power to produce the electricity that's needed to make the hydrogen from the water or is there another magic generator that does that? If so what does it use for fuel?

The BIG if here, is doing electrolysis on board. If that can reliably done, then this maybe the game changer that humans have long sought. Water is a lot more plentiful, than even petrol. Also a lot less likely to ignite too.
The other "Big If" is the oil industry. This would devastate a large part of it's business. I think I read that about 30% of oil is used for fuel. That's many billions of dollars they won't give up easily.

Stanley Mayer created hydrogen on demand which used electrolysis at the point of injection in the 70s & then he mysteriously died… I’m just glad a motor manufacturer like Toyota & JCB is bringing this to reality👏👏👏
Have you read up on the Meyer court case? The car was fake, it ran from batteries and barely went for a few miles, no amount of adding more water would extend the range. He was ordered to repay the investors.
The information that I've heard about Stanley Meyers is that on the day of his death he was at a restaurant with Belgian businessmen who expressed interest in investing in a factory to produce his technology. One of them was a member of NATO. Since the entire global economy is based on the petrodollar, this technology, if valid, could destabilize the worlds economy. It would also allow armies to power their tanks with water, ridding themselves of a major supply chain problem. I saw a video of Stanley's niece who corroborated what we've been told of his death. I think that all this makes it likely that he had actually achieved a breakthrough in the process of cracking hydrogen and oxygen from water. It is well known that electrolysis is a very inefficient way to separate water from hydrogen. Meyers never revealed his proprietary processes, but hinted that they have to do with the resonant frequency of water. I imagine that you could approach this using electric pulses, radio waves, laser, and maybe some other methods. There was a time when the "experts" said that heavier than air flight was impossible, until the Wright brothers demonstrated what the law of lift could do.
"...you could approach this using electric pulses, radio waves, laser...". All of which are generated using energy, and contain energy. So instead of electroloysis you use something else to split the water - but the overall energy requirement to do so is ultimately the same.
I've researched Meyers patents and they are utter rubbish. None of his patents actually detail any real processes, they are vague and technically childish - basically nothing worth patenting. Meyer disciples will say he did this so that his patents could not be copied, but the whole idea of patents is that no one can copy your design. But his patents are so basic that no one would need to copy any of his patents as there is nothing of any value in them. Personally I think he was trying to patent his ideas, and very broadly, hoping that he could get investors to buy into something he would 'hopefully' eventually achieve. I don't think he ever had a working 'water car' as we think of it. I've also seen some of his short lectures. He has no understanding of science, no answers to any legitimate questions, and gave me the impression that he did not actually have a clue what he was talking about - he was just blagging it. His motto was KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), which I think suited him to a tee. From everything I've researched on Meyer I believe he, along with his water car, was a fraud.
That's just a silly conspiracy theory. Meyer was at dinner with his brother, and he died of a brain aneurism. The perpetual motion machine he tried to sell had investors going for two years. It never worked, and they sued him -- and won. He was a scam artist, not an inventor.
So, you use batteries to break water into hydrogen & oxygen then burn those in an internal combustion engine to move the car. Hydrolysis and a BUNCH of moving parts instead of electric motors. Sounds like a lot of inefficiency and maintenance.
A Welsh engineer made a working model of one of these it was a three cylinder engine in the 60s and BP bought the patent and licence and it was never seen again 😳
This was available 20 years ago in Switzerland but the designer was blocked by the motor industries . I went to the presentation of a water powered car in Geneva over 20 years ago
Or it simply didn't work. You might have noticed that petrol alternatives that actually do work are somehow mysteriously never blocked by the petrol industry. The "motor" industry? This is actually coming from one of the main players in the "automotive" industry. They want you buy cars. They don't much care what fuels you use as long as they can sell one using that fuel.
Water, "its basic elements LIKE [not "of"] Hydrogen & Oxygen"? "Diluted Water"? High voltage electrolysis but no battery. Why does that ring an alarm bell?
A battery, but closer to a normal car battery rather than an EV or even a hybrid battery. It would have an alternator to charge the battery. Eventually would need a new battery as do gasoline combustion engines.
@@dreusser7816 No... where do you people get these ideas. Toyota has block diagrams of this. They're using a big EV battery. It's going to take a larger battery stack to power this than a conventional EV, because it's less efficient. I do hope they either abandon it or publish some actual papers on the technology. It seems to be pointless.
4:20 You can't store water in any plastic container. Try to store water in a PVA container, it would dissolve. But, yes, you don't need a very special container.
I was looking into this exact H2O process 15+years ago. The whole process needs a H2O separation process that doesn't use more energy than it yields in H and O. By all accounts the bonds in the H2O molecule are one of the strongest.
Yes, nature usually finds the lowest energy point, hence we do have liquid water on the planet (I bet many have noticed). Yes, most H and O are still in the Sun, and some tons of H are fused all the time, but we're not in Sun. Fun like joke of water vehicles or plants comes up every couple of years since at least half a century I remember :)
@@jl-5188 I have a BSEE. I think about it. It's possible to run an ICE from hydrogen AND from the alternator output run the electrolysis. I am pretty sure it can be done.
@@endthefed5304to produce pure H is an high enery consumpting* procedure, normaly fulled by fossil resourses (black H), other stuff burning energy plants (grey H), or produced from clima nutral sources (green H). However, H2O don't splits from alone. 😂
You didn't explain on where about the electrolysis unit to produce the hydrogen needed the electrical supply? Is it coming from a battery bank? By concept, the water powered engine needs to get the same amount of energy supply from the battery in order to get the mechanical energy to drive the car. So, in that case it would be similar as an EV car. Remember the principle of energy conservation. You can neither create energy nor destroy it.
Utter fantasy. First of all distilled water would require huge amounts of electricity to make it, which comes from where? Burning fossil fuel, so back to square one. Secondly, and worst of all, this video seems to have conveniently forgotten that water freezes, so a cold winter and your car is well and truly stuffed.
Seems strange that electrolysis is employed to split the hydrogen from the oxygen ten used oxygen in the air for combustion. Electrolysis is a very slow process, needing storage of the gases while the engine is not being used. Load of energy will be needed for the electrolysis process!! A connection to the electricity supply would be needed for this, this is not mentioned. Absolute pie in the sky idea!!
Hmmm … while I don’t dispute that you can burn hydrogen in an internal combustion engine I am skeptical that you can produce hydrogen via electrolysis then burned by the engine within the same car without violating the laws of physics. I say this because you need energy to power electrolysis which by itself is inefficient then burn the output hydrogen in an ICE which is again is only 40% efficient.
There was a man back in the mid 60’s that developed one but mysteriously disappeared when he filed for patent. It showed 35 miles per gallon. Had an uncle that bought a used Oldsmobile with 350 four barrel he was tickled to death with the car it ran great got 35 mpg one day feds showed up to his house pulled his carburetor put a new one on he sold the car two weeks later because only got 7 mpg

Hate to tell you but a guy made one in the 30s for a contest I think chevy held ,surprisingly the motor,the blueprints, and the guy all disappeared never to be seen again. Incase anyone was wondering how I know this, I tried to do a book report on the carburetor back in the 80s
in new zealand a guy was running a toyota car on water in the 70s his name was archie blue and he was an electrician he was doing what toyota is doing now the theory was he had capacitors to each spark plug and they broke the water down into its separate components so i believe the theory does work anyway he died and his car disappeared so its makes you wonder what happened to him.Appartently he ran his car for years without any issues .

The presentation of the idea is COMPLETELY wrong. Whoever has written the script, is not really Science literate. (I wonder how deep was the involvement of chatGPT).
The system is not "Fueled" with water. It is fueled with electricity that is used to electrolyze water. ( @1:31 )
Water is just the working fluid. It gets broken down into Hydrogen & Oxygen. The Hydrogen should get separated from Oxygen & stored into a tank for being oxidized back to water in the IC engine.
The whole thing still runs on electricity. It is just changing the battery from Lithium ions based system to Hydrogen based one.
It is a lot of jumping around in terms of thermodynamics & too complex. For the foreseeable future, I will not be moving my investment from Tesla to Toyota shares.
It probably won't actually combine it back into water otherwise there'd be no energy for the car to use. Even the "actual water engines" people have made for their own cars in videos imply they still have to refill the tank with water but equally as gas vehicles
@@mastupilo9653 I have no idea how these are supposed to work. If you use energy (in any form) to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen you will ALWAYS get less energy back when you burn the hydrogen.
If you don't burn the hydrogen, as you suggest, then no energy will be released.
This reminds me of Filipino Daniel Dingel's invention of a water powered engine for his car, with the same idea of splitting hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from a small battery
Yes, he seems to have died too
In November 2000, John Ding Young of Formosa Plastics Group (FPG) sought Dingel out and, convinced that the invention was genuine, signed a "preliminary understanding" with him for several projects.[3] He aimed to have business partners, get an international patent, and commercialize his technology.[4]
In December 2008, Dingel became even more controversial when he was found guilty and sentenced to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment in an estafa (swindling) case filed against him by Young and FPG. In a decision dated December 9, 2008, Judge Rolando How of the Parañaque Regional Trial Court's Branch 257 found him guilty of taking $410,000 from FPG, saying that Dingel "defrauded Young when the inventor failed to fulfill his obligation of developing his 'hydrogen reactor' and creating experimental cars in 2000
Dingel died on October 18, 2010, in Las Pinas City, Metro Manila in the Philippines
You are right to raise this question. The video does not explain where the electricity comes from for the electrolysis. However,, I think it comes down to whether it takes more energy to break down water than the power output of the engine.
Hoorayyy!! Yes, exactly ....
12v Battery, the same thing your starter uses to start your car when its not running
@@ludas6024 Yes, you can split water with only 12 volts, but can it generate enough hydrogen to run a car engine continuously? If so, what size would the electrolysis equipment need to be?
It takes "at least" as much power/energy to separate hydrogen from water (electrolysis) as you get back from "recombining" the hydrogen with oxygen in the combustion chamber (combustion). In the real world (according to the laws of thermodynamics), you will always get less back. What a load of shit.
@@kencentury Check out Stan Meyers' process - he did not use electrolysis. He came up with a way to split water into HH + O that employs high voltage at high frequency, with current (anps) approaching zero.
He used water as a dielectric between 2 plates (in close proximity) which act as a capacitor, but charge polarity never reverses (unlike alternating current).

I see videos like that all the time on UA-cam and in the comments section all I find is criticism due to the laws of thermal dynamics. Can you provide any plans or get me into the right directions so I can try it out myself? Most videos are done really badly and hence lack in views so I guess people have no benefit of making them. I have to find out by myself to see what's true.

Well done anyway and keep at it. 👍
did similar. made browns gas outta water and mixed it with regular gas. works well. gotta keep an eye on it that is true.
By the way, I saw a video just recently where a guy (it was on the TNT channel) made a generator instead of stainless steel with graphene plates. He said graphene is not as prone to corrosion and therefore the generator lasts way longer. Also he mixed urea (basically a form of nitrogen vertilizer) into the water as it increases electrolysis. I don't know what to do with all the info yet but it sure sounds promising!
what is the tech break through - most proposed water-fuelled cars rely on some form of electrolysis to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen and then recombine them to release energy; however, because the energy required to separate the elements will always be at least as great as the useful energy released, this cannot be used to produce net energy.
Maybe if EVs used water filled lead batteries instead we could scavenge the hydrogen from the EV's to power the hydrogen/water cars.

I agree with smferreiro. The article is light on engineering. We all know what water is, where it comes from and that you can store it in plastic containers but where does the considerable amount of electric power come from? There will still need to be some onboard storage of hydrogen as the electrolysis system will not be able to match the rapid changes required by the engine. Will the electrical power be stored or generated? If generated, there will need to be a mechanism for starting the engine. We need much more info about the electrical system.
Look up water to fuel u can build one yourself with hardware store components. And yes it takes more energy to roduce than it will put out the gas produced is highly explosive and must be made in small amounts this is old tech google it
There is only one thing that can stop Toyota and their water powered engine... The third law of thermodynamics..
Except that Stan Meyers came up with a way to split water into hydrogen and oxygen - that requires very little energy (unlike electrolysis, which requires much more energy).
The presenter in this video is (I think - assuming SM's process is employed) incorrectly claiming that electrolysis is used to break down water into hydrogen & oxygen.
Stan Meyers' process uses high voltage and high frequency, with current flow approaching zero. There is no need to store any hydrogen (presenter incorrect here as well), as Stan's process converts water into HH+O "on the fly", as it is needed. (Again assuming Toyota is using Stan Meyers' process.)
He also came up with an electrical method to keep the water (fuel) in the tank from freezing
Stan is the man with the plan. Let's see it stand up to even the slightest peer review. There are endless videos similar to claiming amazing (unreal) tech that amount to nothing, no product, no tech, no peer reviewed white papers...nada.

Total, unfiltered bullshit here. The entire video skips the one significant detail that exposes the discussion as being one of perpetual motion: Where does the power for water electrolysis come from? If you're going to tell me that it's generated by the engine, you've just closed the loop in defining a perpetual motion machine. Think about it: you start with water and a bit of battery-provided power to start the electrolysis. In the end, you're supposed to get back water (the product of combusting hydrogen), enough electricity to make more hydrogen - replacing what came off the battery to jump-start the process, torque and heat. You have a zero-sum of water, a zero-sum of electricity, and an excess of heat and work? No. The energy that runs a combustion engine comes from the energy released in joining fuel and oxidizer. If you want to separate the combusted product (water) into fuel and oxidizer, you HAVE TO INVEST AT LEAST THAT MUCH ENERGY TO BREAK THE CHEMICAL BONDS. Whatever information Toyota has put out there, the video maker has misrepresented for the sake of views.

@@Rated_Wzz You really should study up. There's a lot wrong with your assumptions there. You can't run an engine on boiling water unless something is boiling the water. If the engine is expected to boil the water, it has to provide the input and the output energy - which is more energy than it started with. Warm water has no more molecules than cold water. It just has more kinetic energy. I'm pretty sure that every single sentence in your comment has a massive factual/scientific error or bad assumption in it because not a single sentence there has any truth to it.
I agree, you may as well use the mysterious electricity source (required to spit the water) directly to power the car. This idea seems to originate from 'cold fusion' research which was supposed to produce excess heat but was then debunked by most of the the scientific community many years ago.

Most of the information in this video is inaccurate and incorrect.
The energy created by dissociation of water into hydrogen and oxygen is done with highly reactive metals that are consumed in the reaction.
Water is not a fuel! It's an ash with an extremely low energy content.
I don't think the video producer understands what is actually going on or whete the energy to run these engine is coming from.
It's coming from the metals...
For anyone wondering. This is FAKE and it doesn't exist. You can't run on water as a fuel source for the same reason you can't make a fire with ash. Water is combusted (or what scientists call, oxydized) hydrogen. Just like ash is oxydized wood and CO2 is oxydized carbon (i.e. petrol and diesel).
It's not that you can't turn water into hydrogen, you definitely can, just like you can take CO2 out of the air and make carbon that you can burn again.
The problem is that, in a perfect world, it costs as much energy to turn it into its "fuel" form as what the fuel will provide when combusted. However, we don't live in a perfect world so you'll consistently lose a little bit of energy.
Notice how they never mention where the electricity for the electrolysis comes from. It's the same story with all those perpetual energy devices, they always hide the energy source.

You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen. It takes an amount of energy.
When you use that stored energy you will get a proportion of that energy back. You will always have to invest a bit more energy than you will ever get back.

This video forgot to mention that theses are electric cars with extra steps, you need a battery to separate the H2, so you still need rare earth metals and still need to charge it. 16 years ago I built a HHO/gas hybrid that because of the higher temps, pressure, and oxygen the gas burned more completely and cleanly. Gaining me 10 more miles to the gallon. Fun fact only 30% of the energy in gas is used the rest is lost to heat and out the tail pipe.
The only way this could work is if a catalyst split the water using much less energy than you get back by burning the hydrogen.

This will require even more electricity for the electrolysis than an electric motor. And that electricity will come from EV batteries so you still have to charge it. This will most likely use twice as much electricity as electric cars. I call bullshit here. You will again need oil changes and coolant like a gas engine.
Im pretty sure that 48v lithium cell is good enough, with a step up circuit, having enough power to perform electrolysis.
They need to publish the numbers though, how much hydrogen per hour produce, and with that amount to how many miles.
Ive read before, hydrogen combustion engines can reach up to 48mpg which is crazy efficient.
Imagine if the tank able to hold up to 10gallons of hydrogen gas, and 1 tank consumes 25% of battery to produce. But ya, they need provide more numbers for comparisons
Combustion engine efficiency of any type is highly inefficient at 20-40% (hydrogen being about 40%. EVs are about 80-90% efficient.
It would technically not be far from a conventional engine using the hydrogen as the combustion element but cleaner as there should be no pollutants expelled after ignition. It would still need a battery but once moving alternators would recharge the battery system to cause the atomic separation. I'm sure it works and ppl have been killed over the invention design guess who by ( oil giants) or who brought the patents and shelved them . The only waste is o2 . My concern would be if we all use it would we consume all the water and raise the oxegyn levels in the atmosphere? As that would be bad one we need water all living things do and during dinosaur times the oxegyn was at 35 percent. Scientists say humans can't survive at those levels it's to much . I think we're in the 20 ish percent margins currently . Nothing to drink and higher air not good .
Yup. If you find the Toyota block diagram, you'll see it runs on a huge battery stack. The electrolysis process might be efficient, but it'll never be 100%. The hydrogen combustion engine is certainly way less efficient than modern electric motors, probably 15-25%, same as today's ICE engines that have a century of development behind them. The engine will be heavier than a motor, you'll need to add a transmission, you'll need a water tank and the H2 tank. More complex, heavier, less efficient... wow, I want one of these! It'll be interesting, if Toyota really takes this anywhere, to read an engineering analysis of the real thing.
@@dmfencingbuildingservices2870 When the car cracks the H2O, it's releasing one oxygen atom for every two hydrogen atoms it puts in the tank. When it burns that hydrogen, it's pulling one oxygen atom from the air (or, hey, why not just keep the oxygen you made?), and releasing water vapor.. or cycling that back to the water tank.
Increase range by using diluted water. Genius!

Needs energy to separate the hydrogen from the water. Energy is also needed to create the distilled water in the first place. It's essentially got an internal combustion engine so it's no more or less reliable that what we have got, but it uses lubricating oil so unless they have eliminated all blow by, the exhaust will contain water tarnished with some oil.

At which point, the electrolysis and hydrogen engine are just middle-men to an electric motor. The holy grail fuel they are searching for is a liquid or solid substance that quickly beaks down to release hydrogen without input energy. Ideally it would be somewhat stable under storing conditions and breaks down in the presence of a catalyst. Water alone can not be this substance because you first have to put all the energy in that you would get out. Said substance would be made in factories using an energy intensive process that takes power from the grid as efficiently as possible. Avoiding the impact of divinding the production job into many smaller consumer units.
The water engine is a persious renewable engine. Now the engine is for the car, sooner will be power generating engine we expect, to replace portable gasoline power engine. It is a renewable energy power engine that the world may thankful to Toyota. Pls try renewable water engine power generator.
Pure nonsense. Where the “high power energy” for the electrolysis comes from🤔 Then the distilled water… it’s an insulator. You have to put some electrolytes in it, else no electrolysis. And electrolysis is a very high energetic and costly reaction. Nicely made though. Looks professional. Some people may even believe it😅
@user-ky7iz6up1v You still have the issue of the initial energy for the electrolysing process. And as far as I remember he mentioned that you "only have to put in distilled water". Just want to show that this story is nonsense. And from more sides.
This may be a dumb question but where I live, every winter is below zero. What's it going to be like starting that water engine in the morning?
It might be frozen you aren’t going to work 😂.
Alaska need to test these. Fairbanks get -50 often. Good test city!
How do you make your coffee in the morning? any more silly questions?
@@yveslaflute9228I think it’s an excellent question!
Most arent poor like u or dump they live warm
03:20 'diluted' water ? Wow amazing stuff 🤔 (distilled perhaps)
More importantly, .. where is energy for electrolysis in first place? Wtaf
No no no! it is VERY crucial to dilute the water with WATER of course! otherwise this would be clicbait
Solar is free and nuclear cheap, where oil pumps get their electricity
ITS NOTHING NEW! My mechanic in Houston used water to fuel his own car!
1980. I built Hydrogen converters with regular tap water in Mason jars. Extremely flammable. This is the future!!
That's pretty awesome. One question: If I live in Norway where 50% of the year is in sub-zero temperatures, how does water works?
You have to pedal the car until it warms up and melts the water.
You would have a battery operated water heater on board!
@@phil2443 How about a tiny oil powered lamp that heats the water. You flick a flint switch to ignite it.
It doesnt have you ever seen the Flintstones, start running in there, the faster you run the warmer you get, according to Greata, it all melted already and you should take a bikini, but she is dillusionnal, just a bit...
@@rayharvey1330 you are onto something!
You could use a battery to run an electric motor, connect the motor to a generator which is used to charge the battery and the extra power could drive the vehicle. Same principle as using electricity to extract hydrogen from water, re-unite the hydrogen with water producing energy to keep the processw going and produce extra power. Not possible!
You are yet another ignoramus.
You almost have it...but you must add an atmospheric water generator that captures water, co2 and toxins from the atmosphere. Who will be the first car maker that saved the world? will it be Honda or Toyota? Or perhaps another auto maker. You might want to add a solar panel roof and hefty battery to assist in running the water (Fuel) capture device. I believe it can be accomplished if there are still good and honorable people left in the world...🙏
Water is not a fuel. Hydrogen can be made from water, using lots of electricity, then burned at low efficiency. FAIL
If you yourself aren't actively working on it, does that make you not good and honorable?
Judge not. Lest ye be judged.
@@chrismuller2780 You tell me...
@jamesvandamme7786 Wrong...as you know technology is always advancing. Splitting water can be done more efficiently now.
@@cruiserland3309 Unfortunately there is no process that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen without using more energy than is contained within the hydrogen produced. This is not because we just need to find a new process ... it's because of the known laws of physics I'm afraid.

Say goodbye to cheap water. Dont forget the water tax.

How are they in minus temperatures?
Well, pure water freezes quickly in sub-zero (f) temps. So, you will also need to keep the water warm at all times, like when you're not driving in the winter. The bottom line is far more energy going into the system than you can get out of this system to make it work. Pure pipe dream.
The same way they are in any other temp,... nonexistent and pure fantasy.
The only assumption I am working on is that the laws of thermodynamics are incontrovertible. I am also sure that the engineers at Toyota also know that which leads me two possible conclusions.
The video is a misrepresentation of what they are actually doing or it is a complete spoof.
Sounds great. But how does it work in below freezing temperatures!
@@andrewpelowski It cannot work at any temperature.
The video is a spoof/joke or scam, can't be sure which but for sure you cannot get power from water.
3:25 Did you mean distilled? Dying to try diluted water ;)
Lets go, lets do this.
This video is talking about a perpetual motion engine. It DOES NOT WORK.
Takes MORE energy to generate enough electricity to sustain electrolysis than you can get out of the resultant hydrogen gas.
Not to mention the relatively low efficiency of all internal combustion engines.
That idea has been around for 65 yrs or more. A bloke in NZ had a Fiat Bambina running on the same idea, breaking water into Hydrogen & Oxygen by electrolysis and burning the Hydrogen for fuel, that was back in the 1960s.
But oil companies bought the patent so he couldn't build them.
@@neildewitt2869Patents are protecting only for 25 years the inventions. So no cause why this kind of engine ist not available since 1985😂
@@neildewitt2869 It can't be patented... it's a perpetual motion machine. Not what Toyota's actually talking about, but anything that claims the water is the fuel. Though I'm wondering if this is, in fact, a complete hoax and I just found a slightly better version of it.
And after reviewing this more, and in other information on the internet, I'm convinced this is a pure hoax and not something Toyota is working on.
Adaptable to older moters also
No.
Can you imagine what governments would do if they lost the ability to tax fuel?
They tax water😢
@@Johnny-um6sd Well not so much where I live. I have a deep well and no city water. I'm with you though, they will find a way.
4:40 distilling water isn't chemistry. It's physics. There's no chemical reaction. Only thing closest thing to chemistry is that the process of distilling can be used to separate materials in a chemistry lab.
Wow that's not just sustainable, it's the perpetual motion motor dream. Do they use some of the engine's power to produce the electricity that's needed to make the hydrogen from the water or is there another magic generator that does that? If so what does it use for fuel?
Great questions but unfortunately no answers. That is because perpetual motion is as real as unicorns.
* Bi-polar auto electrolytic hydrogen generator, patent 1992 US5089107A
An autoelectrolytic hydrogen generator system constituted by one or a plurality of similar cells wherein a galvanic arrangement of magnesium and aluminum plates of sacrificial elements as anode; stainless steel as cathode and sea water as electrolyte, by its very nature is made to develop a voltage when connected in short circuit causing a current to flow within the system and hydrogen production of hydrogen in situ and on demand by the electrolytic action at one pole, the cathode, and additional hydrogen by the electrochemical reaction at the other pole, the anode. Surplus electric energy of the system applied to a optional electrolyzer will also be made to produce additional hydrogen at its two sacrificial aluminum electrodes.
@@reverendgoodthrustesq.6875 That sounds like fun but it isn’t the engine that this vague video is hinting at. The engine you mention would probably work somewhat but it doesn’t sound suitable for a car to me, I doubt that it would produce enough power. Real seawater is full of all kinds of stuff which would clog the thing up and those sacrificial plates are going to need replacing regularly. I expect such problems are the reason why you can’t buy one.

The BIG if here, is doing electrolysis on board. If that can reliably done, then this maybe the game changer that humans have long sought. Water is a lot more plentiful, than even petrol. Also a lot less likely to ignite too.
The other "Big If" is the oil industry. This would devastate a large part of it's business. I think I read that about 30% of oil is used for fuel. That's many billions of dollars they won't give up easily.
The big IF here is how they get around the laws of thermodynamics - takes same or more energy to split the water as is yielded from burning the H2
@@1967davethewave It's not their call, and they're not more powerful than Big Automotive. If they had the ability to block non-petroleum cars, they'd have stopped electrical and ethanol powered vehicles long ago.

Stanley Mayer created hydrogen on demand which used electrolysis at the point of injection in the 70s & then he mysteriously died… I’m just glad a motor manufacturer like Toyota & JCB is bringing this to reality👏👏👏
Don't forget Elon Musk.
I remember that.
Have you read up on the Meyer court case? The car was fake, it ran from batteries and barely went for a few miles, no amount of adding more water would extend the range. He was ordered to repay the investors.
Fake news. Toyota's website doesn't mention this at all.
The efficiency of this power cycle is about 30%. The engine will never make enough power to split the water molecule.
The information that I've heard about Stanley Meyers is that on the day of his death he was at a restaurant with Belgian businessmen who expressed interest in investing in a factory to produce his technology. One of them was a member of NATO. Since the entire global economy is based on the petrodollar, this technology, if valid, could destabilize the worlds economy. It would also allow armies to power their tanks with water, ridding themselves of a major supply chain problem. I saw a video of Stanley's niece who corroborated what we've been told of his death. I think that all this makes it likely that he had actually achieved a breakthrough in the process of cracking hydrogen and oxygen from water. It is well known that electrolysis is a very inefficient way to separate water from hydrogen. Meyers never revealed his proprietary processes, but hinted that they have to do with the resonant frequency of water. I imagine that you could approach this using electric pulses, radio waves, laser, and maybe some other methods. There was a time when the "experts" said that heavier than air flight was impossible, until the Wright brothers demonstrated what the law of lift could do.
You missed the part where it said it had to use DISTILLED WATER.
"...you could approach this using electric pulses, radio waves, laser...". All of which are generated using energy, and contain energy. So instead of electroloysis you use something else to split the water - but the overall energy requirement to do so is ultimately the same.
I've researched Meyers patents and they are utter rubbish. None of his patents actually detail any real processes, they are vague and technically childish - basically nothing worth patenting. Meyer disciples will say he did this so that his patents could not be copied, but the whole idea of patents is that no one can copy your design. But his patents are so basic that no one would need to copy any of his patents as there is nothing of any value in them. Personally I think he was trying to patent his ideas, and very broadly, hoping that he could get investors to buy into something he would 'hopefully' eventually achieve. I don't think he ever had a working 'water car' as we think of it. I've also seen some of his short lectures. He has no understanding of science, no answers to any legitimate questions, and gave me the impression that he did not actually have a clue what he was talking about - he was just blagging it. His motto was KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), which I think suited him to a tee. From everything I've researched on Meyer I believe he, along with his water car, was a fraud.
That's just a silly conspiracy theory. Meyer was at dinner with his brother, and he died of a brain aneurism. The perpetual motion machine he tried to sell had investors going for two years. It never worked, and they sued him -- and won. He was a scam artist, not an inventor.
How high voltage is generated?
A coil, like the old cars that had points and condenser
As an EV owner, they have lots of inherent problems. You don't have to keep rehashing this perpetual energy lie to bring those issues to light.
Sound like an car salesman. Do not worry you will find another job.
Um the guy that made this got killed in the US not the first
I believe you. They really don't want hydrogen on demand to become a topic.
So, you use batteries to break water into hydrogen & oxygen then burn those in an internal combustion engine to move the car. Hydrolysis and a BUNCH of moving parts instead of electric motors. Sounds like a lot of inefficiency and maintenance.
A Welsh engineer made a working model of one of these it was a three cylinder engine in the 60s and BP bought the patent and licence and it was never seen again 😳
yep. they get them all. we get nothing. buy oil
No, he was an Iranian democrat atheist
Imagine making your own fuel with a ZeroWater filter
This was available 20 years ago in Switzerland but the designer was blocked by the motor industries . I went to the presentation of a water powered car in Geneva over 20 years ago
Or it simply didn't work. You might have noticed that petrol alternatives that actually do work are somehow mysteriously never blocked by the petrol industry. The "motor" industry? This is actually coming from one of the main players in the "automotive" industry. They want you buy cars. They don't much care what fuels you use as long as they can sell one using that fuel.
This was already done a few times but unfortunately R.I.P to those we haven't heard from on the topic.
Water, "its basic elements LIKE [not "of"] Hydrogen & Oxygen"?
"Diluted Water"?
High voltage electrolysis but no battery.
Why does that ring an alarm bell?
There's a battery. A big EV battery. The video skipped that part, but Toyota did not. It's in other videos, and in their block diagram.
What provides the electricity for the electrolysis?
a battery. It's an EV. lol
what provides the energy for a hybrid ? self generating system.
A battery, but closer to a normal car battery rather than an EV or even a hybrid battery. It would have an alternator to charge the battery. Eventually would need a new battery as do gasoline combustion engines.
@@dreusser7816 No... where do you people get these ideas. Toyota has block diagrams of this. They're using a big EV battery. It's going to take a larger battery stack to power this than a conventional EV, because it's less efficient. I do hope they either abandon it or publish some actual papers on the technology. It seems to be pointless.
The engine still needs oil, will be highly complex, and not remotely as efficient as an ev.

I was looking into this exact H2O process 15+years ago. The whole process needs a H2O separation process that doesn't use more energy than it yields in H and O. By all accounts the bonds in the H2O molecule are one of the strongest.
Yes, nature usually finds the lowest energy point, hence we do have liquid water on the planet (I bet many have noticed).
Yes, most H and O are still in the Sun, and some tons of H are fused all the time, but we're not in Sun.

How much is the water car?
You didn't explain on where about the electrolysis unit to produce the hydrogen needed the electrical supply? Is it coming from a battery bank? By concept, the water powered engine needs to get the same amount of energy supply from the battery in order to get the mechanical energy to drive the car. So, in that case it would be similar as an EV car. Remember the principle of energy conservation. You can neither create energy nor destroy it.
Indeed, i love how that *massive* hurdle isn't covered at all in this video.
Utter fantasy. First of all distilled water would require huge amounts of electricity to make it, which comes from where? Burning fossil fuel, so back to square one.
Secondly, and worst of all, this video seems to have conveniently forgotten that water freezes, so a cold winter and your car is well and truly stuffed.
I can imagine people going to prison for illegally distilling rain water one day in the future.
Aren’t we facing a water shortage in the West? How much water would be needed to supply all of our cars?
Epic work Toyota and the people that work there are absolutely amazing
Pretty sure they killed the guy who did the hydro car 🤷♂️
Seems strange that electrolysis is employed to split the hydrogen from the oxygen ten used oxygen in the air for combustion. Electrolysis is a very slow process, needing storage of the gases while the engine is not being used. Load of energy will be needed for the electrolysis process!! A connection to the electricity supply would be needed for this, this is not mentioned. Absolute pie in the sky idea!!
Hmmm … while I don’t dispute that you can burn hydrogen in an internal combustion engine I am skeptical that you can produce hydrogen via electrolysis then burned by the engine within the same car without violating the laws of physics. I say this because you need energy to power electrolysis which by itself is inefficient then burn the output hydrogen in an ICE which is again is only 40% efficient.
Yes yes, that is the way to go.👍
There was a man back in the mid 60’s that developed one but mysteriously disappeared when he filed for patent. It showed 35 miles per gallon. Had an uncle that bought a used Oldsmobile with 350 four barrel he was tickled to death with the car it ran great got 35 mpg one day feds showed up to his house pulled his carburetor put a new one on he sold the car two weeks later because only got 7 mpg
And where does the high voltage come from?
A battery? - then why not use the electricity directly with much less losses?
yay a perpetual motion machine :)
Nope, this still needs batteries 🤣
