Screw the Big oil companies

Here is the link. http://zeropollutionmotors.us/ No pollution! No gas! No problem. With these type of inventions we can tell the Big gas Companies, Auto companies and Saudi Arabia to stick it! :angry::pissed::bang:

I'm all for it. The only thing good that will come of the high gas prices will be inventions like this. WooHoo!!!

The second engine - the rotary design - seems very promising. Extremely lightweight and no need for a transmission. Picture this: under the hood is the rotary air powered engine and an air compressor. Solar panels installed on top of the car power the air compressor. You compress air as your drive. How cool is that?

On his website, the rotary inventor seeks "inquiries" which translates to investors. You would think Honda or Toyota would be all over this. Or Exxon for that matter...

Very :cool:.

...or, you could pick up a Chevy Volt in a year and a half and enjoy 150mpg trips to the grocery store! They both use electricity to charge (one to power a compressor, the other to charge batteries). The Volt will be out in 2010, and it looks pretty sweet.

Yea but they don't run around $7000 either and are probably out of the price range for joe public making them an oddity. The folks spending that kind of cash are all about the Mercedes and wouldn't dare being seen in any thing less.

Last Night’s Monumentally Important, Historic Election (http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2008/06/04/last-nights-monumentally-important-historic-election/)

A link-sending FrontBurnervian says it was this one (http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2008/06/04/news/top/4e608d46402d5adb8625745e00110beb.txt) in Elk Point, South Dakota.
Slow news day, but here’s something for the burner: Dallas-based Hyperion Energy got voter approval to go forward on the first new oil refinery in the US in decades.
It was a close race. According to the story:
The final tally was 3,932 votes in favor of the ordinance and 2,832 against. … Both sides flooded the county’s nearly 10,000 registered voters with paid ads, direct mailers and door-to-door stops, combining to raise and spend more than $100,000.
Of course, as is common these days, the loser has yet to concede officially.

Screw'em ???.........I don't even wanna date'em.........."ba da bump"

We did a story last year on a man in Florala who engineered a type of generator that would run continually on recycled power. He's around 80 and has had offers for around a million from many big companies to buy it. He wouldn't sell, because he said the companies only wanted to buy it so they could stash it away and it would never see the light of day again. I'll see it I can find the article, scan it, and post it here in a few days.

The only reason any big auto company or oil company for that matter would invest is so that they could keep these ideas off the world market. At least until they are done squeezing all the available dollars out of the oil market.

Generally speaking, not one of my fantasies. How does one get their arms around a big Oil Company? :idontno:

That sounds physically impossible. I'm no engineer, but my understanding is that a perpetual motion machine (this strikes me as one of those) is theoretically impossible. :idontno:

I probably haven't described it properly. I will try and dig the article out and scan it.
