The battery was the easy part. I just used a deep cycle marine battery I got out of the trailer.

As far as the rest, well, I got to generate a lot of HOT AIR to power this thing. I'm not as good at it as some folks, so I have sent an e-mail to some local politicians to come out and help me test it. I figure some of these Reps and Dems can really get the turbine spinning. Another big problem was storing the excess HOT AIR. I have popped the Air Bag on the passenger side. I plan to use that to store some HOT AIR, but I am wondering about kinetic loss due to Entropy. It is not as easy as it sounds to get that Air Bag out of its hole, let me tell you.

I know my biggest problem at this point is TIME, lack thereof. The 3M turns out to be a big incentive. While I was working I had the radio on, and filling in for Neil Boortz is a guy named Herman Cain and yesterday he had a guy call in with a plan to use Hemp to supplant the whole oil industry. He said there was a lot of oil in the seeds, especially the good stuff and that it did not cause Global Warming cause it did a PreSequester of the Carbon out of the atmosphere during the growth period prior to the combustion, therefore the carbon footprint was zero. He also stated the Founding Fathers were all for this idea.

Today someone called in, said on their local news someone had a Water Powered Vehicle. Said it turned H2O into HHO. Said you could find it on "Youtube" and you could go a hundred miles on four ounces of water. I have not verified this fact.

Just now a guy called in with an actual "true" story, well, at least he has a web site, I just looked at it. He is putting tractor engines in an old Ford to get better mileage. I don't think this approach qualifies for the money prize though. Here it is with a pertinant quote:

<<Remember what Deep Throat said, "Follow the money.">>

Now I never got to see the Movie he is quoting from, I heard it was good though, but I like the quote, but Mo Better I like "Show me the Money!"
