A water-fuelled car is a motor vehicle in which water is the fuel without any other energy output. Hydrogen, from the compound of water, is the fuel in water-fuelled cars. Using the hydrogen for fuel does not make this type of vehicle a steam engine.

Wood or coal is burned to heat up the water in a steam engine. The steam is that which moves the engine due to it being heated. This process makes the coal or wood the fuel source not the water.

It is hard to convert water into fuel because it is a waste product. A substance with less energy must be made, as such with petrol (gas), wood or coal. When the substance with less energy is made, the unstable bonds convert into stable bonds.

Water is a very stable bond already. Due to its stability, water resists most reactions. For water to be converted into energy, a high-energy compound must be added.

A high-energy compound like calcium carbine, when added to water, will make the fuel acetylene. This makes the fuel calcium carbine not the water in this case. To make fuel from water the only real way is by electrolysis.

Electrolysis is a process of a current of power is sent through the water to separate the bond. The hydrogen then from the compound of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, is used as the energy source. It takes a lot of power to separate the bond.

It is not completely considered a water-fuelled engine because this type of engine needs a battery to be able to convert the water into energy by electrolysis. An efficiency of 50-70% is the conversion of hydrogen. The vehicle does not stay moving very long because using that much energy from the battery does not allow it to last very long.

The first and second laws of thermodynamics have restricted many inventors in building a proper water fuelled car. Many vehicles that would have been classified as water-fuelled cars, if not for these two laws, have been classified as perpetual motion machines instead. Therefore, a proper and successful water-fuelled car has yet to be invented.

There is an invention that could quite possibly be a true water-fuelled car, in Japan, but it still hasn’t received its patent. To be marketed, an invention must receive a patent. Other companies cannot copy an invention if there is a patent.

It is possible that they have finally found a way to use the abundant resource of water for fuel with the Japanese company trying to hard to get their patent. Then the millions around the world who have been hurt by the raise of the price of petrol can breathe a little more easily if this is the case. We will have a cleaner and cheaper way to get around in the not so distant future.

The secret to the Japanese car has not been leaked to other manufacturers yet. They are keeping their invention strictly to themselves. However, they do believe that they will have it patented and ready within the next ten years.
