What they will do is claim that Oxygen is a greenhouse gas...

Instead of relying on heavy battery packs or high-pressure hydrogen tanks, this engine utilizes real-time electrolysis. By running an electrical current through distilled water stored in the vehicle, the system separates hydrogen and oxygen on-demand; the hydrogen is then burned as fuel in the combustion chamber.

Remember the guy that came up with a water engine that had to take a side job as a security guard, and was felled in the line of duty?

This is silly. Might as well make a video about capturing lightning in a bottle and using that to power your car.

Wasn't Nissan trying to bring a hydrogen fuel cell car to market about 12-15 years ago?

Takes a lot of electricity for electrolysis

Everyone is getting cancer, anyway. We should just use the confiscated uranium from Iran and use a couple of grams per car. Would be plenty to have a radiolysis powered vehicle.

Just make sure you never run out of water… my wife would melt down at least 5 cars per year.

Big oil aint gonna like that. They probably been poo pooing it for years now, and the recipe done been figured out a while back. Sabotage. Kinda like big pharma and the idea of “cures” to various diseases and conditions maybe been known for some time now, but they sabotaged it because of the involvement of big money.

if any company can do it, Toyota can.

Because we all know their Twin-Turbo V6 engine was such a smashing success.

Never encountered that. But I do remember Guzzlers, toy car that ran on water! Well, it also required a battery. But h2o is what made it move.

You are missing a key point. Electrolysis takes more energy than the resulting H2 has stored. This is just physics. you are not going to overcome this by refining hydrogen cars, no matter how long you apply yourself to it.

Great toy until you tried for a horizontal launch and got the water blast in the face. The energy came from compressed air.

They already know. Five years ago their shares were $150; now they are $178. If they had some industry destructive technology don’t you think their share prices would reflect that?

So Toyota is intentionally going out of its way to make a prototype for a product that’s never gonna sell because…?

Then why go through all this dog and pony if they don’t intend to proceed with a viable sellable version?


Exactly! Toyota isn't some fly by night corporation! Lol
The are so successful for a reason. Definitely brighter than folks on a discussion board!
