Where do you get electricity from to electrolyze water?

So where does the energy come from to perform the hydrolysis? Petrol, diesel, nuclear power, hydro?,

Yes mate but cars alone are not the only polluting vehicles and I consider they represent a very low percentage of the total of emissions that are pumped out by power generating engines. One must now take in account the emissions from aircraft, ships, machinery involved in mining (for example), military vehicles, power plants, and anything that is used to produce power for whatever reason. Not only that but there is also those who forget that other pollutants such as methane and water vapour are far more heat retaining than CO2 and nothing id being said or doe about that and in a lot of case nothing can be done because a great deal of those emissions come from natural sources i.e. volcanos. Net zero is a pipe dream and frankly untenable.

Running on water in engines is not a new thing. People been trying to make it in the 1970s every time they tried they were killed or assassinated oil companies do not want it.

They need to let the market decide what we use.

I can understand the benefits of H2 powered cars, condensed fuel source, bla, bla, bla. Water powered cars however? Unless they have worked out a way of cheating the laws of physics, it's still converting water to electricity via electrolyses from a giant battery pack into hydrogen to use as fuel. It might take next to no time to fill up with water, but the elephant in the room is still charging the battery. You can't get more energy out of something than you put in. Therefore, all the energy to drive the motor has to be stored in the battery. A battery that needs charging.

This was done back in the 70's

A Filipino engineer invented this in the 90's but not supported by the Philippine government and not able to patent it and might have been bought or sold to big automobile companies, so sad that the Philippines or the Filipino engineer were not able to enjoy the global benefits of it😢.

dump water out of the exhaust in the snow belt states is deadly as the road surface become black ice. only when the sun is shining just enough or full sun can you see the glare of black ice, and it's super smooth...like glass. seen a few dozen people killed in my travels due to black ice from regular gasoline engine exhaust, spun out myself once about killing myself and injuring others before sliding off the road backwards....was pretty interesting locking eyes with the guy behind me grille to grille at 40mph'ish while shifting out of forward to neutral. got new higher traction tires soon after that.

A great idea, but 2 problems for us above the Mason Dixon Line. First water exhaust on frozen streets won’t be appreciated. Without warmed storage, water freezes, expands and breaks fuel tanks plus it doesn’t allow water to be converted.

The energy needed for the electrolysis would be far greater than the kinetic energy yielded from re-combusting the hydrogen and oxygen through an ICE. This technology appears to suggest that more energy would be yielded from the ICE than would be needed to sustain the necessary level of electrolysis, but electrolysis is known to be notoriously inefficient, hence the general lack of industrial scale "green" hydrogen plants. The only ways hydrogen can be viable as automotive fuel is either in liquified form for ICEs or using fuel cell technology. Both of these currently require huge amounts of energy from other sources to bring hydrogen to the end user. Large scale investment in wind, solar and nuclear power would be the only clean way to deliver hydrogen in viable quantities at present.

Ev's are not zero emission. They require electricity which requires petroleum fuels and alot of mining for lithium and rare earths!

Conversion to water fuel is very nice thing.

Yes, a EV made more complex and less efficient from well to wheel. Know your physics, do the math and there will be chemistry.

Will the water need to be only mineral and salt free water?

i grew up near stanley meyer he has supposedly created a car that ran off water, he had saudis and other people come to the neighborhood, he died at a cracker barrel near my home, the conspiracies continue to this day.

What comes out of the pipe of a gasoline car is poison

The water supply for humans is threatened. If they now work on cars with water engines, we can only hope they use seawater as source. However, the use of seawater requires a significant amount of energy. As a result, it is costly and could undermine this whole idea. Any use of water from various sources such as rivers, lakes, groundwater, or municipal water supplies is for me absolute no go..

Toyota came from Japan and Japan makes a lot of good motorcycles including Honda and Honda cars are made in Japan Mexico and North America Japan makes very good quality not like China they make junk they're not about quality

Where are we going to get the water? All the rivers are drying up.

How many moving parts does these engines have compared to an EV-motor. How much energy is wasted?

There was a guy who had a water engine but he die and the car was gone 😅, I can see in the future I would told my grandkids to pee in tank because the car is low in water 😅

EVs themselves don't pollute, however, producing the electricity at the source produces tons of pollution. Based on per vehicle, the pollution created is comparable to gas vehicles, although at the source. So electric vehicles are not a huge advance for global warming. Only time will tell if water ar hydrogen powered vehicles will pay off. I even heard ammonia is being researched too.

I would love to see this instead of a gas or electric powered car

I'd buy one. I would like to be the first to buy one.

It sounds real good.

But they still need oil to work....both in engine and transmission....

I am not on board with the electric bs didn’t work 100 years ago and won’t in its current format I’m fully behind Toyota with their thinking.

Hopefully

Amazing

Great invention and unique Automotive industry innovative design. Cheers

No technology yet to use water as fuel for car.

Getting more out of a electric vehicle means putting a alternator on the vehicle as well, that way at certain speeds the batteries can be charged, and at lower speeds the alternator will not be needed!~ Water vehicles will need a heater then in the colder states!~

Toyota a most deserving global brand standing head and shoulders any other Manufacture ….

Consumers want such water powered engines to be in the market but governments might not want that to happen because there will be a loss of tax revenue from selling energy. Gasoline powered engines, governments will be able to collect tax revenues from selling petrol to you, for electric vehicles governments and companies could make money when you are charging your car, but for water powered engines, there is no way companies could make money selling you water

This was inveneted in the Philippines but because the government ignored this invention, he sold it to a Japanese person

will never make the market

How much would steam and heat affect our atmosphere? Nobody is talking about the new pollution they will create😮
