Hi,
With the current high gas prices (currently around $A1.70 per litre), I though I'd let you know about a method of using your car that uses only water and a commonly available biomass for fuel.
Whilst many have said that this is impossible, a close look at the patent application really impressed me as something that would work.
Some slight modifications are needed, but these would be well within the capabilities of most car enthusiasts with a bit of mechanical ability.
Here's a link to the Patent Filing papers.

I predict that we'll see this method in common use in a few years time.
Sounds a little more practical than the alternative water for gas scam lol
I´m still not sure it will work though .
I´ll wait for our auto-expert (read: Misha) opinion before buying the e-book .
Misha!! Help us here!
I'm sure he'll be posting here as soon as he gets back from Nags'R'Us
He wants to beat the rush and get a goodun.
While at the first uneducated glance this solution seems viable (as many other solutions do), it has several underwater problems that render it unusable or at least less efficient than solutions it was designed to replace. Just a short non complete list:
1. You have to feed the horse even if you don't drive, which may eliminate any economy - depending of the use frequency
2. Horse excrements collection not solved
3. Most people do not have the place for horse to live
etc.
Thanks for clearing that up Misha.
I was wondering how I was going to get the horse up the stairs to my apartment. It seemed skittish and the neighbors are starting to complain about the smell in the parking lot.
Anyone need a good, low-mileage nag?
That's got nothing to do with the horse Mr. Knowles - we know all about your latest health kick:
"Lose Weight on an All Bean Diet"
The fuel increase is indeed affecting my "budget." Well, the idea of a horse! Whew...
To Misha's list, I would add the question of why they've got the horse *pushing* the car instead of pulling it. A good horse can pull up to six times his own body weight (though they're generally worked far lower, at more like 1 1/2 times per horse) but pushing?
Oh my goodness, I totally was expecting some kind of bio-diesel for SUVs, like you see on those converted Mercedes all over California. I seriously LOLed at this, thanks for that
Lmao on the news 3 kids rode horses to school instead of paying for gas, must be interesting for them.

Are you myopic? Do you need your religion-glasses properly? No offence, I am indeed curious after watching the pious zeal around.
