The product of the reaction is again water. This principle would make it a [[Perpetual motion]] device. With alkali metals(sodium) hydrogen may be won from water: Alas, this would not only set the hydrogen free; the oxygen would be bound to the metal and could not be used. During operation, the metal hydrid would be used up and serves as the actual energy source. It has to be created by using energy. So, the car is not powered by some wonderous energy from water, it is powered by a primary battery.<ref>http://www.inteldaily.com/?c=120&a=7157</ref> Professional journals like ''Popular Mechanics'' called the alleged wondercar "Rubbish"<ref>http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4271579.html</ref> and professional circles ignored it. The website genepax.co.jp was abandoned in february 2009. [[Matthes Haug]] still advertises Genepax as a car which ''drives with water''.

A tinkerer and con man named Daniel Dingel from Manila [http://danieldingel.com/] received worldwide attention when he brought up a "water-powered" car. Dingel claimed that his Toyota Corolla was powered by the energy of imploding compressed ether-energy. As a result even reporters of the journal Auto-Bild (a German car journal) travelled to the Philippines to report on the scam.
In December 2008 it became known that the by now 82 years old Daniel Dingel was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment by the Parañaque City Regional Trial Court for swindle (''estafa''). He also had to pay actual damages of 380.000 Dollar.<ref>http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20081220-179008/Inventor-82-gets-20-years-for-estafa</ref> Dingel, who claimed that he was not interested in money, had taken 410.000 Dollar from a Dr. John Ding Young from a Taiwanese Formosa Plastics Group in 2000 to do research about his fraudulent method. But Dingel was not able to present a "hydrogen generator" and three working cars. After receiving the money Dingel did not respond to emails but presented allegedly higher offers from competing companies. He claimed that he did not want to work with Formosa Plastics Group anymore since he feared for his life. He referred to an inventor Stan Meyer who was allegedly poisoned by the oil industry in 1998. When the charges against him became known he took 375.603 Dollar out of his account, where the deposits were put. The Philippine 'Department of Science and Technology'' calls his invention a ''hoax''.<ref>[...]The Department of Science and Technology has dismissed Dingel’s invention as a hoax.
