the patent rights for that is only in the tank...it needs to handle a gazillion psi in pressure to be able to power the car for that range. I dunno if id like to see a tank like that go off in an accident....
i worked at qantas and we used to fill the o2 tanks on the planes and the mini ones the crew uses in emergencies. Anyway in the lab this tank was being filled by a first year apprentice and he dropped it and broke the end tap off. Thes things were only 30cm (1 foot for our imperial friends) long and 12 cm wide. Anyway this tank went through 3 double brick walls and ended up hitting a car on qantas drive at mascot 1/4 mile away. They still have the hole in the wall of the lab to remind new apprentices of the dangers of compressed air. Dunno Ianey youre a braver man than me mate....Gimme slow burning 100 octane anyday...

".makes the engine run smoother.blah blah blah...no-one has actually ever done it...oh except maybe Stan Meyer...."

YET!!!


you do have a point, a very good point, BUT.....

If say all of man kinds nutters where to just give up on it, because some people say it's not possible, it won't work, be happy with the situation you find yourself in, don't fight the system you will loose, etc etc etc..... all the things these oil overlords are saying. Do you think the airplane would have been in existence today, or even the car for that matter... I can but only imagine the ridicule Daimler had to endure with his invention...

nobody said it was going to be easy, I was not expecting to get it working from the getgo. The fact that Meyer actually got it to work, just proves the point.... the fact that he got killed for it, was because his invention was still kept secret and that is his doing.... not advisable with these kind of things....

I for one would rather try my best to get out from underneath these oil overlords thumbs, than to sit around waiting for my gov, or anyone else for that matter,
to get me out.......



oh by the way it is impossible to do a qtr mile in less than 10 seconds... realy it is, don't even bother trying, Iv'e seen many people try and fail misserable, myself included.... I've seen people get killed trying.....

and yet, we still keep trying.

Hey Craig,

Apparantly they use carbon (fibre?) tanks, that are fibrius and leak in a controlled way. I am not entirely convinced but it is interesting technology.

clicky clicky

ps where you planning on going to the motorkhana today? pity about the rain!
