I once did the software for one of those.

...I got some beachfront property in Arizona that you might be interested in. Do you take Paypal?

I'll have you know... we have beach front property in Arizona.

[been_lurking]

Me too. But, I built my first house in 1989, for $52 a square foot, including the lot. I build my fourth home two years ago, for $135 a square foot, and that house is currently worth about twice what I paid for it...or, about $270 a square foot.

BTTT

Now, do the same math with food, clothing, medical costs, insurance, taxes, wages, popcorn, telephones, water, etc. etc.

The whole thing is another silly "created" crisis to get the media and politicians through the long boring summer months.

While we are at it, make the highways out of rubber so neither they nor your tires would wear out.:) Now there's a use for all those discarded old tires!

Arizona uses old tires to rubberize it's metro freeways... it's fracken awesome.

"I thinkd Colonel Sanders was in on it.

Darn. Forgot him...and Elvis too."

And Bruce Lee. Don't forget Bruce Lee.

[BadAndy]

There are suckers born every minute.

And Bruce Lee. Don't forget Bruce Lee.

That's right. He provides the security that prevents the evil oil companies from stealing the invention. ;-)

[Onelifetogive]

You forgot the Illuminati.

He didn't forget.....everytime he typed it, it suspiciously disappeared off his screen..................

[finnigan2]

I'm tempted to put my life savings into this invention but I'm holding off for now.
You see, my neighbor is working on special eyeglasses that enable the wearer to see through women's clothing. Apparently, it works by splitting polarized light into it's three major components which effectively makes material objects, such as clothing, transparent.
He tells me that has big money behind him, including a consortium headed by Bill Clinton, but I'm still hoping he'll let me invest.

[yankeedame]

Wow... and thats why its being reported in the "National Tattler"

LOL! Yeah, but how does Bat Boy figure into all this?

[Mojave]

[RadioAstronomer]

Anyone who did dropped 10 IQ points right there....

LOL!

[wildbill]

Stories about revolutionary dicoveries about auto engines or energy sources appear every six months or whenever there is a spike in oil prices.

Have you ever seen one of these products come to market? The Oil companies buy them off and kill the project?

Surely there is ONE inventor out there who will be true to his patent and make his own millions. Or maybe ONE automaker that can see a ripe plum in new technology?

Or maybe the tabloid press will find a new inventor in six months.

[Kay Ludlow]

bump for later

[RayChuang88]

I want Discovery Channel's Mythbusters program to look at this engine and see if they can actually make it work.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I got as far as "...former Volkswagen mechanic..."

[CowboyJay]

"There are positive particles in the wiring and all mass for that matter, and the configuration of the electron shell determines a material's conductivity, but electricity is the movement of electrons, which are purely negative."

True. I caught that part as well. A number of capacitors in series, however, might be more efficient for generating power from a given potential than a steady stream of electrons using a standard brush-style motor. I can't recall enough electrical theory to work it out.

The wankle engine is a darn efficient design. It is NOT a perpetual motion machine. It is an engine.

Further, it is a production engine in Mazda cars. At one point there were aircraft engines as well.

The problem with the rotary engine is sealing. It is a highly effective use of motion and the moving parts are limited, but the area of sealed surfaces is very high.

[expatpat]

LOL! Is this an April Fool's joke? Or just another of the Fools who have been "had" by con-men claiming perpetual motion machines since the Middle Ages.
