Whether as people also for choose which kind of future new energy when debating endlessly, Japan researcher provide the latest answer. Dr.eye: Water. One is totally offered the automobile of power as the energy by water, really accomplish absolute environmental protection.

　A company named Genepax of Japan has invented a environmental protection automobile that totally drives with water, and announce to external world formally in Osaka on June 12. The car need 1 water whether all right kilometer of speeds go an hour alone, and the rainwater, river or sea water, any water will do.

According to this company, they utilize one kind to call " water energy system " (WES) "New fuel cell technology. It can supply outside water and air with respectively this fuel cell and air electrode, its basic power generating principle is similar to the usual hydrogen fuel cell. After water is poured into and lain on the water tank of tailstock, the most important component membrane electrode group (Membrane Electrode Assembly, MEA) in this system Divide water into the hydrogen and oxygen through the chemical reaction, thus produce the electricity, and then so as to promote the automobile to advance.: This chemical course is similar to hydrogenation metal and water and reflect that produces the hydrogen, such technological efficiency is the most advanced at present, higher than existing technological efficiency, the cost is lower too, make the aquatic products grow the hydrogen for more time.

The energy fuel cell system of this water is piled and made with a output power up for 300 watts of fuel cells for 120 watts of fuel cells by a output power, 120 watts of fuel cells is piled and has been offered water by battery-operated water pump of the universe at first, when it generates electricity, even after the water pump is shut off, it can operate. At this moment, the voltage that this fuel cell piles is 25-30 volts.: Because this fuel cell was piled and arranged by 40 batteries, the output power of each battery of it was 3 watts of or more, the voltage is about 0.5-0.7 volts, it is fitted that electric current is about 6-7. Meanwhile, through after the pump adds water and air, this 300 watts of fuel cell systems is started. Such new-type fuel cell system is installed from the suitcase of compact electric motor car " Reva " that Takeoka mini automobile manufacturing company produces, then there is a real meaning " water drives the automobile ".

Have moisture is it happen hydrogen do power source, may needn't allocate and store the high-pressure hydrogen and then to solve. And the membrane electrode group in this system does not need special catalyst, take some rare metal like platinum, this exist too of the system in existing hydrogen fuel cell only. The carbon monoxide will cause the catalyst to be poisonned to make its catalysis performance weakened in the traditional fuel cell, can not produce the carbon monoxide at the fuel electrode of this opposite new system, thus can lengthen its service life, according to calculating, its life-span can be up to more than 1 year.
