What can be replaced depends on its use. Japan has already developed a water-powered car. The following is an introduction to the content.
A Japanese company claims to have developed the world's first water-fueled vehicle 2008-06-14
In today's world of high oil prices and increasingly serious pressure on environmental protection, people around the world are stepping up their efforts to find alternatives. Gasoline is the clean fuel. On the 12th, a Japanese company called "Kinipex" released their latest research results in Osaka - a water fuel cell vehicle. According to the company, this vehicle may be the world's first vehicle that can directly convert water fuel into Electric cars.
This two-seater mini car is the water fuel cell car of the "Kini Pax" company. There is a special box in its trunk, which is the car's energy generator. As long as a certain amount of water is injected into it, this energy generator will separate hydrogen from the water, and then after a series of processes, it can finally generate electricity to drive the vehicle.
At present, "Kinipex" company has applied for a patent for this technology, but the company has not disclosed the key technical secrets of the energy generator. Generally speaking, the basic working principle of a water-fuel engine is to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis or chemical reaction, and then burn the two to generate power. As for whether the technology of "Kinipex" company is more superior, it is currently unknown.
According to data provided by the company, the energy provided by 1 liter of water can allow a car to travel at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for one hour, which is roughly equivalent to 5 liters of gasoline. In addition to being more economical and producing cleaner emissions than ordinary cars, Compared with traditional battery cars, this kind of car has another major advantage, that is, it does not need to be charged all the time.
What’s even more amazing is that the company claims that this technology has no special requirements for water quality. Whether it is clean water, river water, rainwater, seawater, or even tea, it can be used as “water fuel”.
Scientists around the world have gone through a long and tortuous process in researching water-fuel vehicles, although experts estimate that water-fuel vehicles will not be widely popularized in the next 5 to 10 years. But after reading the above report, we have every reason to believe that the day when you can drive around in a car as long as you bring a bottle of water is no longer a fantasy.
