It was a piece on engines in history and they had a part about the rotary. They showed the RX-Evolve and mentioned that rotary engine cars were the only mass production cars with no pistons. It was neat to see the rotary get some props on national tv.

I watched it @ work. Overheard some guys talkin about "How cool the rotary engine is." So, of course, I piped up and said "Oh yeah, I got a RX-7." They thought that was the coolest thing ever!! Go me!

It was very interesting. However, I was really dissapointed when they were talking about hydrogen engines. I know in order to make hydrogen, there are several ways in which to do it. They gave the most ineffecient and dumbest ways possible. I know carbon being released is a big factor when creating hydrogen.
Why not use Hydrolysis? I know it is only 50% effective, but we have shitloads of water!!!!! And there are Zero pollutants! Only problem of doing it is disturbing the wildlife near water areas. =)
I was just completely dissapointed when they never mentioned Hydrolysis. A highly intelligent scientist who fails to mention basic hydrolysis that was learned in Chem101. LAFF.
Rotary engines & Hydrogen = a great combo. =)
Just my 2 1/2 cents & comments.
