i saw that video, it made my head hurt thinking about how someone is trying to scam money into trying to develop this.

i already have the next generation in my head, it includes hydrogen like mazda is incorporating into their projects.

Seems to be trying to get something for nothing, doesn't it?

Hard to see what possible advantage you get from bleeding off part of the compression, reversing it's direction of flow twice (thus wasting energy), and then injecting more fuel into it.

It's just going to create a back-pressure wave into the intake stream, far as I can see.

Also interesting: patent 2004231246 doesn't seem to exist.

Also also; why does that engine have both peripheral AND side ports, for both intake AND exhaust?

Its basically just moving the throttle valve into the intake. Guy makes claims in the description but doesn't have anything to back it.

there once was a guy who claimed to make a car run on water too, then he died.

i also would like to know how there will be vacuum generated to move air accross the bridge, there is no vacuum differential present from either port so i don't even see it working at all. looks like snake oil and is probably backed by a religious symbol. "jesus makes it work"

my old autoshop teacher, currently created an electric car that can make it from california to US in one trip *no stops* if you can handle it.

His patent is currently being auctioned off and GM is the highest bidder, he knows once they buy the patent that its going to be thrown away...... but he already has 2 more designs in the process.

that actually is true..there was a guy that made an engine run off water. but as soon as he proved it, the government had him killed. true story..

i mean..think about it. if this invention came out...think about how much money the petrol company's would lose. billion's apon billion's, i dont even know how much money they make in a day due to the people that need gas to get to work and such everyday. water is somewhat abundent now a day's..(somewhat, meaning we are in a drought.) so if that happened? what would the world come too?

of course IF that did happen you better believe that the water bill will increase damatically...

also, i would be taking a shower and thinking.."damn!, i could get to vegas with this damn water im wasting.."
