A small startup has cracked what engineers once called impossible: a fuel derived entirely from ordinary tap water that powers standard generators with zero modifications required.
The compound, dubbed AquaFuel-7, is produced by splitting water molecules through a process called "reverse ionic compression" — a method that allegedly generates more energy than it consumes.
A single liter of AquaFuel-7 runs a 5kW generator for 72 hours straight, compared to roughly 6 hours on gasoline. It produces no emissions, no noise, and leaves no residue in the engine.
"We ran our test generator for 11 months on 4 liters of tap water," said CEO Marcus Hale. "The hardest part was convincing ourselves it was real."
The fuel is compatible with every generator on the market, costs $0.03 per liter to produce, and has an unlimited shelf life.
Several governments have already placed bulk orders. Oil futures dropped 44% overnight.
Commercial availability is expected "very soon."
