"Same here, but at least something is happening." Something ain't always a good thang <g> I remember during the oil embargo when Popular Mechanics profiled a new, futuristic 3-wheeled car that would get 70 mpg and could withstand a sledgehammer blow to it's shell. Turned out to be fake of course. How about the cars that run on water? Pah-leeze. How about granting a 5k/month mortgage to somebody making 1k per month? It's a new pair-a-dimes! Brave new world! New economy! Who cares about profit, how about all dem eyeballs!! On the subject of something happening... did you (anybody) hear about the breakthrough in small motors a few years ago using a tuned standing wave of intense amplitude? Was supposed to revolutionize compressor efficiency (e.g. freezer or fridge) etc. Haven't heard anything since.

Hi bart It was on TV - history channel. made of fiberglass .... goes up to 70 mph - made for IN CITY DRIVING ... they have a version with a gas engine that goes 600 miles before a fill-up ... the cost per mile is like 2 cents .... there are 2 ways to fill it up ... (a) switch out a tank ... at a gas station (b) do it at home thingie - that recharges the tank ... Mexico and India are checking it out ... took the guy 14 years to develop ... bottom line - the thing looks very real ... and NOBODY is/was thinking along the lines of compressed air ... please note - this guy is way down stream on the development ... I could see NYC using these puppies .... just paintem yellow -g- regards, John
