Although I'm not naïve enough to believe that theoretical lab result will result in equivalent real-world results, if car can really perform even 75% of what its creators are claiming is this a world changer?
Is there really enough energy contained in salt-water, even laboratory created salt-water to give these claimed performances.
Even if you can get a good level of performance from a car from this, would it work as well in a truck that needs diesel performance?

For the life of me, why does this get top billing in Breaking News?

He doesn’t expect to sell any cars nor does he even plan to go into production. This is PR to draw investors. If there were real-world benefits here he’d quietly make a deal with an established automaker.

I would be more impressed if it could go 300+ miles on one charge.

Can it tow my 40ft 5th wheel? When I see battery run 18 wheelers then I might be interested in a battery car.
