Car that runs on water invented.

Why doesn't it run on the blood of the infidels?

Where is the car that runs on the blood of infidels?

You son of a bitch!

I knew I saw that somewhere before

create more energy from less voltage? Hmmmm...that would make my current engineering project solved....maybe I will get a pink slip on Monday....

Stuff like this shows up from time to time. The inventors usually end up dead, disappear, or thrown in jail for one reason or another.

Yea it's sad how harsh the industry is towards advancement in the name of money. Seems the minute someone has something good they vanish and their invention is never heard of again. Kinda makes you wonder for sure.

This particular one is kinda sketchy though.

create more energy from less voltage

That phrase doesn't even make any sense...

 

[jagec]

Sounds like someone just "discovered" parallel circuits.

It takes more energy to separate the hydrogen to create his fuel than there is energy to be used in the fuel he creates.

If I spend $20 to create a new $10 bill for you to spend, would you consider that a new and brilliantly sustainable source of money?

It doesn't, but it was from the grace of Allah, so who are we to challenge it....

 

[Rubycon]

Bulllllllllll shiiiiiiiiiit.

If it's like the water rockets that boys played with in the 60s it could be possible. Of course they were jealous when I could make them go higher by pumping harder...

Oh, Ruby! I don't think the boys minded how hard you could pump at all, especially if spouting higher was the result.

And pray tell, was this done with one, or two hands? Also, just for the sake of scientific posterity, what were you wearing during said pumping?

C'mon Ruby. This is for science.



The real question: how does this break thru compare to North Korea's fusion advances or their gnarly super drink?

 

[Doppel]

Nonsense science

 

[Modelworks]

Sometimes it isn't a conspiracy. Sometimes it just isn't feasible.

The electric car died in the past because gas was just too cheap to make people pay the extra cost for the cars.

There are lots of advances made in battery tech every month, the super polymer batteries are one such battery that is sold right now. The other is prismatic batteries, batteries that use the old format of stacking cells like in C, D, or even lead acid car batteries are not efficient for lithium cells and prismatic cells fix that by placing the cells into layers that fit the cell best not by making the cell fit a container size. Prismatic cells also don't have a fire or venting problem because the cells are not confined to a container.

I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn too

why would anyone want to own a bridge anywhere? I don't get it.

So is Pakistan just getting our scams from the 70's?

It's progress I tells ya!

Water's awesome: Combine hydrogen and oxygen, get energy. Split hydrogen and oxygen, get energy. Why has no one thought of this before???

:hmm:



Then of course there's water's excellent memory, which allows us to have homeopathic medicine. :awe:

 

[zoiks]

I saw some news on this. They guy said that they've been approached by different auto companies but they want to create the industry themselves.
If true, then I wish them luck.

They would consider you infidels. Just saying.

C'mon Ruby. This is for science.

Two hands - one on the shaft and the other on the ball (handle) to push in and out. Simple physics at work here.

IIRC I was wearing dungarees and a leather jacket because it was cold. Even still those things spray *everywhere* when they "go off" but boy do they soar!

Not really a good analogy since money is only a medium of transfer, not wealth itself. Making a $10 bill doesn't create $10 in wealth, it creates a symbol by which one can transfer $10 in wealth. That symbol can be used over and over, and its value is determined by how needed it is and how much better it is than competing, available products.
A $10 bill costs 10 cents to produce as it is, and that doesn't include the costs of removing worn currency out of circulation. If spending $20 would give you a bill that lasts 200 times longer in circulation then it could actually make financial sense to go that route. But as people are short-sighted and greedy and so the people of the present don't usually like to foot the bill so their great-great-grandchildren can coast, such a super-bill would likely be deemed "too costly" even if it was the smart thing for the nation to do.

You know that's what they said about the electric car. It was claimed that the big oil and car companies were in on a vast conspiracy to suppress any advancement and implementation of electric vehicles, yet the battery issues that plague the electric vehicle also affect essentially any piece of electronics that isn't plugged into a wall. We still haven't made significant advancements in battery tech -- minus some recent carbon/graphene talk that's still several years away at least.

Sometimes it isn't a conspiracy. Sometimes it just isn't feasible.

I wouldn't say this sort of thing is a conspiracy, it's just that the system is rigged to maintain the status quo. Between subsidies favoring currently implemented tech over alternative (look no further than Romney already stating he would completely eliminate wind power subsidies) and a critical underfunding for other alternative projects, you can understand why so little has changed.

There are other things that work to suppress alternative energy technology as well. The scientific research itself isn't as unbiased as people think it is. Most of the money from energy research comes from the companies making all the money off the status quo, or the government.
