Elroy, Mitsubishi really did patent my idea, about 3 years after I invented it. So it is probably not all that wacky. I have lived in NZ for a couple of months now, but I've lived elsewhere, so it's hard to say what NZ influence living here has had. No doubt you, being an expert in such things, can, like an astrologer knowing a star sign, give me a complete psychological analysis based on my address during the alignment of Jupiter during the transit of Mercury.

Speaking of cars which run on water, I had one. I pulled into a service station in Ranui and asked the attendant for a litre of water, which he reluctantly put in the fuel tank from the water can they had for topping up radiators.

I also had a little one litre plastic tank for petrol as starter fuel in the engine compartment, which he also filled for me. When I went in to pay, he was ranting to the other attendant how it really does run on water and he had put the bloody water in himself!

It was a regular Honda Accord, converted to run on water. It was part of my BP Oil alternative fuels projects.

Off I went and there is a guy somewhere who is no doubt ranting about how he himself filled the car which runs on water. I can't remember, but I might have told him I worked for BP Oil and it was a research car we had.

I didn't mention to him that I already had a tank fairly full of methanol and he was just adding a bit of water, which happens to act as corrosion inhibitor in methanol.

Yes, I was aware that like my CO2 under the ocean, the water would sink to the bottom of the methanol, in a puddle. I hoped that it would dissolve before I got stuck on the forecourt because of water being sucked into the fuel line to the engine. It didn't cause a problem and off I went.

I don't advocate sleeping upside down.

Meanwhile, my "fantasy schemes" are going very well thanks and are indeed keeping me busy. People didn't take my Fourier Transformed cellphones very seriously for a few years, but they are now. Heck, they are even having big court cases over it. You have probably even paid me a royalty. Thank you! Please, upgrade to the latest CDMA-powered phragmented photon cyberpone and enjoy fully mobile cyberspace. Buy my ASICs too.

My Globalstar fantasy scheme didn't go so well. It went bankrupt. But, it stayed in business and you can buy shares of GSAT and buy Globalstar phones to use in most countries.

My 98 octane is popular in Europe [where they were going to have just Eurograde 95]. Lead is out of petrol most places. Benzene cut way down. BP NZ has got BP Ultimate selling well.

Heck, many of my fantasy schemes seem to have been highly successful. Globalstar will be too, once management does things right, which they are increasingly doing. You can buy minutes for as low as 20c now in the USA [and less], whereas they used to be $3. globalstarusa.com

I have got a cybercurrency under development and my graviton spin reversal prototype is looking good. zenbu.net.nz is now on sale. RoamAD isn't going all that badly either, though short term funding remains a problem roamad.com There are many fantasy schemes to be developed.
