Default Possibly the future of automobiles

This is so remarkable. Sure would like to test drive. NO gas.

No mechanical anything just the bolts that hold the top to the bottom. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This may blow your mind But it is possible ...so they say. Long time in coming but the grand-kids have some good news to look forward to besides social security taxes....



This concept has been on both GM and Fords priority list for the past 10 years.

Why? We have an abondense of Salt Water! Watch this video on this link an you will see what I mean.

I myself would not want an explosive hydrogen tank under my butt. This car is much safer IMO;

These aren't my words, they came with the E-mail that someone sent to me. I am happy with the gas motors that we've been using for all these years. I just found it interesting and thought I'd pass it along. I never even concidered that it was explosive.

This one really is quite interesting. The diesel/electric version of this gets about 300 mpg.

This or similar items comes up every so often, one thing never mentioned is the AMOUNT of electricity needed to transform the water to Hydrogen and Oxygen or HHO as said in this video.

And once you take the amount of electrical energy needed to do that into account it becomes a very inefficient system as oppose to a gas engine. Physics never change ask Einstein...

He put a gallon of salt water into his machine to make the demonstration of cutting and warming up a few things, and with a gallon of gasoline vaporized effectively you could blow-up that whole warehouse...

I'm not even going to touch his Ford Focus either, why does he still need gas then?

In my dreams I can fly but here on earth physics and my banker keep me grounded.

Gasoline/electric. Aptera couldn't find a diesel motor the size they need that would pass 2010 emissions regs.
