three fishing buddies in North Wales “after drinking 13 pints each at the local pub” believe they have cracked it.
All fixed now!
Making Biofuels from Whales?......Greenpeace & PETA will never go for this......
every time the price of gas goes up, gadgets like this appear from thin air. notice how they are lokoing fo rinvestors. if thie really worked, they’d go to a bank, or an investment firm, demonstrate the device, explain how it works, adn they’d be millionaires already.
also notice that the aren’t telling how it works. trust them, send them your dough.
right.
“they can build one small enough to replace a car exhaust that will last for a full tank of petrol.”
So you have to put a new one on af each fill up? Then what do you do with them? Put them in a mine shaft?
Shoot them into the sun?

That line sounds like a line from the Sting - Sounds like a con job to me... But then again I’m a cynic from way back.
No disrepect to these inventors, but Anthropogenic Globalwarming is a myth.
As long as they don’t call it Wales Oil they have a chance of attracting venture capital.
OK Larry, I have this great way to save the planet..."
Sorry, picture didn’t work
Uh huh. So the CO2 is captured in the box. What happens to the CO? The other residue from the controlled explosion in the engine?
Sounds like a better solution is to invent something that is NOT the internal combustion engine.
This added weight plus the weight of the recovery system, should really drive down gas mileage creating even more demand for new oil production resulting in destruction of the pristine arctic and added pollution created by mining the Canadian oil sands.
Fishing buddies? Sounds like a fish story to me.
Why do all the renewable energy hype stories sound too good to be true?
CO2 is a gas. The only way to capture it is to fix it in another state. If there is some catalyst or chemical reaction, fine, but what is it? They don’t say.
There is always a catch to these schemes, eg the materials needed in the greenbos cost $1,000,000 per refill, or it weighs 1,000 lbs or the reaction smells like rotten eggs.
After all, if it is a great idea, why not put it on coal-fired power plant smoke stacks?
It amazes me the sheer level of conceited arrogance in this particular thread. Nobody here knows if this could possibly work or not, yet everyone has a negative opinion of it.
Thank God folks like Edison didn’t listen to any of your kind. America would still be a backwater agricultural experiment.

The algae don’t care where the CO2 comes from. There are already prototypes of systems for using the CO2 from coal fired power plants. Large, stationary systems attached to power plants would be far more economical. Here’s a FR thread about one of these systems: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1773030/posts
And 95% of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere consists of
WATER VAPOR.
