[Music] EVS are about to become a thing of the past courtesy of Toyota's all-new engine type which is completely unheard of this new engine that Toyota has been working on is said to be the most eco-friendly engine in existence so buckle up and get ready for a complete turnaround in the world of cars as we explore Toyota's new engine that will destroy the entire EV industry the engine that Toyota is working on is actually believe it or not a water powered engine which is relatively similar to their fcevs such as the Toyota Mirai and hydrogen-powered
internal combustion engines such as the 1.6 hydrogen 3-cylinder that they've recently developed as for the history water engines have always been one of the greatest aspiration points of the entire car industry as they promise huge benefits over regular engines and EVs and there have been countless attempts at making water power engines viable and reliable for day-to-day usage to no avail and well that's exactly where Toyota is about to jump in with their all-new water engine as unlike most of the previous attempts which were literally been made in sheds with limited budgets Toyota has proper funding
and can actually test out the engine in all possible conditions how does the water engine actually function the engine itself is for all intents and purposes similar to the HHO generator with only a few minor differences that make it better suited for daily usage in vehicles the engine itself is actually very similar to the hydrogen combustion engine found in the Toyota Yaris grh2 except that instead of using already processed hydrogen the engine itself processes it and separates hydrogen from oxygen by creating a chemical reaction in essence the engine uses the process of electrolysis to separate
the H2O molecules hydrogen and oxygen get separated once the electrodes which are located in the tank that contains the water start emitting High voltages since the hydrogen itself is contained within the water when it's stored in the tank there's no reason for heavily armored and extremely heavy tanks which is the case with fcevs and hydrogen combustion engines since hydrogen alone is extremely hard to contain the process of powering the vehicle is where the similarities between hydrogen combustion engines and water engines start as after it gets separated from oxygen hydrogen is then sent to the engine
where it combusts similarly to compressed natural gas and the overall way the engine itself functions is similar to CNG powered ones the fuel injectors need to be adapted for compressed gas and the cylinder heads pistons and valves need to be armored as hydrogen itself is highly combustible making its detonation quite needy which is why it needs stronger components what are the long-term benefits to the environment well first of all it's almost completely zero emissions compared to regular internal combustion engines similar to EVS while also being far more convenient than EVS actually scrap that it's more
convenient than any other engine type out there as long as you have access to diluted water you'll be able to refuel it and it'll also cost you next to nothing also there will be much less need for extracting oil as if the engine goes mainstream the only real branch of the entire industry where fossil fuels might be used is heavy machinery or large power production units furthermore there will be no need for extracting rare metals from the earth which is one of the dirtiest processes in the entire car industry at the moment as it directly
pollutes both the water sources and the soil surrounding the mine making its imminent surrounding area completely uninhabitable also if we were to compare water engines to hydrogen combustion engines and fcevs which are also marketed as zero emissions we could see that they are far superior in this regard too as storing water requires little to no effort whereas storing hydrogen alone requires much more thought specific conditions and above all much much more money while also being significantly more harmful to the environment you see hydrogen in its sole form is a gas that is extremely hard to
contain and can easily escape from the tank of a vehicle if there are any sort of irregularity with it which means that the tanks will need to be armored constantly monitored and regularly taken care of whereas the fuel tank for water powered vehicles can hypothetically be virtually any plastic container furthermore storing hydrogen outside of the car itself is a drag too as it requires ideal temperature conditions similarly to be completely static and completely indestructible which once again costs a lot of money whereas distilled water can be bought in any well-stocked Supermarket or if you know
basic chemistry can actually be produced at home also acquiring hydrogen in its sole form is also an expensive process and it combined with the numerous problems that surround the storage of the gas itself is the reason why hydrogen hasn't yet caught on and probably never will producing and storing hydrogen costs a lot of money which in turn raises the price of the gas itself for the consumer making us question why would you even buy hydrogen cars if they both are more expensive to buy and run compared to EVs and fossil fueled Vehicles so even though
they're very green and logistically simple to use and run in theory the question remains are water engines actually daily usable yes they are first of all they're not gutless at all as some might believe as a water powered engine is on par with most gasoline engines and in theory they can be made more powerful than regular internal combustion engines as they can generate up to three times more Mega joules of energy compared to gasoline engines they're also much safer than all the other engine types as no highly combustible fuels constantly being stored inside of the
car so there's no need to worry about the car going up in Flames or even exploding like fireworks going wrong they are also very easy to produce as they're relatively simple mechanical designs are just a tad more complicated than regular gasoline engines they're much simpler and cheaper to produce than both EVs and fcevs and due to their nature they would be a perfect option for motorizing countries that aren't well developed and are not rich with oil in fact for this reason alone an Iranian scientist decided to convert his Peugeot 405 to run on water and
actually succeeded at doing so the scientists Aladeen kasemi managed to produce a fully functional conversion for his old car and turned it into a true technological Marvel imagine what Toyota could do with proper funding if a man in a shed could make a daily drivable water powered car apart from being easy to produce water powered engines are also extremely economical compared to both gas-powered vehicles and EVS as kissimmee's own 405 average between 30 and 40 miles per gallon of water which is just fantastic because the base petrol engine used in the car could never achieve
such high figures this means that we can hypothetically see water powered engines that can do 80 plus miles to the gallon without being completely gutless which makes the car cost of running such cars even lower than what we initially believed it to be however since there were no mainstream versions of the engine type and since there are no other car manufacturers that are actively working on this engine type we've got to ask ourselves are water engines the future well hypothetically yes water engines might just be the future of vehicles however the conclusion is not that
simple as there are a myriad of issues that water engines have been experiencing in the past first of all are the logistical issues although the infrastructure would need little to no adjustments the engine technology is still highly experimental and most of the quote-unquote functional prototypes have been very unreliable and their daily usability has been mediocre at best furthermore even though using Waters of fuel might seem like a good way to go the fact that it gets divided into hydrogen and oxygen makes us question the safety of the car itself as we've already mentioned hydrogen is
extremely hard to contain and even a small leakage in the system can turn out highly dangerous and even fatal Plus even if Toyota were to make a reliable and safe water-powered car who's to say that they wouldn't get shut down by lithium mining companies battery producers and most notably oil companies by using water as a fuel we'd almost completely mitigate the usage of fossil fuels in day-to-day life and there would also be little need for mining rare and expensive elements such as Cobalt and lithium which would seriously shake and even destroy some of the most
profitable companies in the world currently such as Rio Tinto and those companies will definitely do everything that's in their power to completely discourage further development of such engines you don't believe us well there are rumors that they've already done that some 25 years ago with the first ever officially fully functioning water powered car the inventor of the car Stanley Allen Meyer was according to him and his brother in constant danger and was receiving constant threats from people that were most likely representatives of oil companies that could have been jeopardized by the popularization of the water
engine he was even offered Millions to destroy his vehicle and the plans surrounding it and never mentioned it again however Meyer was a stubborn person that kept vocally fighting large oil conglomerates one night while at dinner with two Belgian businessmen that showed interest Meyer suddenly ran out of the restaurant while holding his throat his brother who was present at the time ran out after him he later told the press that Stanley told him that the businessman poisoned him after which he passed away official records say that the reason behind his passing is actually a brain
aneurysm however the topic is still disputed to this day as only a few days after his unfortunate passing his car along with the plans on how to make the engine have been stolen from his garage never to be seen again so as much as we'd love to see Toyota actually going through with this engine we're not sure that that's going to happen anytime soon if ever and even if they were actually working on the engine they are most likely doing so in absolute secrecy which is why there are still no official confirmations on the project
itself
