Perhaps this is too good to be true

It is well known that certain metal hydrides will react with water to produce hydrogen[4]—which could in turn be used to power the car. The problem is that the metal hydride is the "fuel"—not the water—because it is consumed by the process of reacting with the water. Eventually the car will need to be refilled with more metal hydride—and the first law of thermodynamics guarantees that the energy cost of producing the hydride will be greater than the energy produced to drive the car.

The claims made by Genepax that their product produces useable energy to propel the car, requiring only water as a fuel and creating only water as exhaust are fundamentally inconsistent with the scientific community's current understanding of the universe. The exhaust product could be routed directly into the fuel tank to power the car for an indefinite time period with no further intervention until a mechanical breakdown of the car occurs - until parts of the car wear out.

This direct violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics would effectively make the Genepax product a perpetual motion machine.

Okay, let us pretend that i didn't make this post ...
