And China’s a tough market for the Japanese to sell to.
Wouldn’t it be great if Japan scored a breakthrough with methane hydrates.
.............
the chinese will succeed in eventually driving the japanese out of china if they don’t change policy directions. nor will this be a great benefit to the chinese.
methane hydrates are interesting. The japanese have funded research in the artic off the coast of alaska as well as in Japanese waters. the chinese have also funded research in extracting methane hydrates off their coasts.
I’ve seen hopeful press releases. For now, this area does not look like its where the big R&D bucks are going.
the big R&D bucks are going into the alternatively fueled vehicles in Japan. China is only just beginning to figure out the implications of that game. when they have it completely thought through as they have for solar—the chinese will be very big players in the game.
....Dihydrogen monoxide which is a known killer and proven greenhouse gas.
LOL!!! I hope you’re just jiving. (For those who aren’t chemists, that’s also known as water.)
OR................. I’m right..
..........
I have no particular insight into the mytengine.
do you?
Probably a better bet long-term than battery power, but plenty of problems.
Daimler, Ford, Nissan, Toyota, GM, and others have spent years and billions on fuel cells. Actual cost of the vehicles is said to be “astronomical”.
.........
agree. the only interesting thing here is that the car is improved and the companies are committed to funding years more worth of R&D.
so its not going away.
you have to use electricity to make it.
I’ve been involved in research in all those areas, except perhaps for 3-D printing. That car I mentioned was part of a research project.

wow. you’ve got some serious bragging rights. but 1964? I feel old at 62. Sounds like you’ve got a decade or two on me.
Shesh the state of the art in most technologies is way beyond what it was even 10 years ago. I had a heart operation two years ago that was experimental 7 years ago and science fiction 10 years ago. Now I’m bright eyed and bushy tailed but still old.
Followed the MYT until that Russian tried to steal it...
Rapheal seems to talking “to the hand”...
was looking trying to find some negative reports.. ..... couldn’t.. no pro or con...
You’d think the military would be on this like white on rice...
Who knows maybe they are... hence... NADA.. nothing..
Yes, I’ve got a decade on you. The first computer I wrote software for was a huge unit with vacuum tubes instead of transistors — it had only 2K of memory!
Here’s a pretty good review of the MYT engine.
http://revolution-green.com/raphial-morgado-myt-engine-trick-treat/
If you google MYT engine and look for real news — you’ll notice the real news stopped about 2012. If you click google news for the last year — there are no results.
I know been following for a few years..
All of a sudden... NOTHING...
Thats why I think “some one” is developing somethin’ secret..
Its quite a departure in power plants.. huge possibilities..
light weight... small profile... huge power..
By the gov standards, I am not a zero emissions human. Why would I be expected to buy a zero emissions car?
Thats why I think “some one” is developing somethin’ secret..

Maybe. There was a report that a russian company tried to sell a car with a mytengine into europe after the russian engineers toured the mytengine plant —and presumably went away with the plans for the engine. I think mytengine sued them.
But this was back in 2011. Nothing has been heard since of either mytengine or the russian car.

the Russian car was supposed to come out in 2015. But this year there is no announcement.
Here is a very informed discussion of the Russian engine and the mytengine

Imagine stacking these little babies.. (maybe not so little)
It could run a ship or a sub... plane or a boat..
The thing works like an engine or a compressor..
can run on compressed air.. -OR- get this “steam”..
-OR- fuel.. what a bunch of options..
With steam or some other medium(say liquid sodium)
could operate like a turbine.. not same principle but kinda... A nuke providing “the fuel”(steam)or(something)
and the MYT converting it.. to torque..
The military could go nuts with this..
I WANT ONE... to make an outboard motor from..
How about a Ford Cobalt going 70?
It uses compressed hydrogen, still a gas but compressed 5,000 to 10,000 psi. It heats up greatly when first compressed to these temperature, which is part of the large losses in producing hydrogen for vehicle fuel. The dispensing facilities cools the compressed hydrogen down to near atmospheric temperature before dispensing into the vehicle.
all way cool. so cool that there’s either major problems we don’t know about or a big car company or the feds have put them under wraps while their scientists do the developing.
since the russians look to be pushing back the unveiling of their myt engine— my wag is that there are problems with the myt engine that have yet to be ironed out.
