Genepax: New Japanese Car Runs On Water

The Genepax car that runs on water.
Fed up with recent fuel increases? Want to give middle eastern oil the middle finger?
A Japanese company has invented an electric-powered, and environmentally friendly, car that it says runs solely on water.
Genepax unveiled the car in the city of Osaka on Thursday, saying that a litre of any kind of water - rain, river or sea - was all that was needed to get the engine going for about an hour at a speed of 80 km. "The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water to top up from time to time."
Genepax CEO Kiyoshi Hirasawa told local broadcaster TV Tokyo. "It does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars." Once the water is poured into the tank at the back of the car, the a generator breaks it down and uses it to create electrical power, TV Tokyo said. Whether the car makes it into showrooms remains to be seen.
Genepax said it had just applied for a patent and is hoping to collaborate with Japanese auto manufacturers in the future.

Where can people buy these? Who is making it difficult to be able to order them?
The only time I have heard of this is from a wonky youtube video that just showed a clip of this car in action and suggested the japanes diaster was caused by the oil empire wanting to warn against this competition.
Just some questions :)
