Don't I "want to give you".. give you this and give you that.. and gimme this and gimme that... That's all I ever hear from everyone.. "Gimme Gimme Gimme!"..

I don't want to be remembered for anything... I just want to build these liquid electricity engines for flying cars, so I won't have to pay for gas anymore, and so I can drive at 1200mph in thu air.. but I don't have the funding, and I don't see the funding in my immediate future.. so you don't get your flying cars till I gets a lab...

Sorry for the too long post Doc Mabuse... Hope you managed to get through it unscathed dude...

Uh, dude. You are ignoring reality! Here in the real world we 'peons' need proof of crazy and extrodinary claims. Simply saying you can do something that no one has ever done of even come close to doing is not enough. If you are so amazing why don't you compete on the worlds strongest man or at least make a you tube video?

Perhaps you don't get any funding because funding is most often given for things based in reality? Just a thought. But hey, why don't you try the Pentagon, they spend billions of dollars on trying to make unproven claims work. Seems like just the avenue for you.

Gimme Gimme Gimme! He says. I want my funding, I want my lab. Sounds like your the one always asking for stuff. Why don't you build your own lab? Why don't you use your super powers to build a flying car in your garage, Huh?

Just so you know, I don't want a flying car. I think that flying cars are impractical and dangerous. I see a wreck every two days off the interstate and I can only imagine the horror of those wrecks at 1200 mph! Sounds to me like you want those flying cars, and you want that funding and you want everyone else to cater to you! If any one else cared about your 'Science 300' then the funding would roll in don't ya think?

Let's review
You claim everyone is fearful, but it is you who are scared.
You claim people want a flying car, but it is you who insist upon it.
You claim people are selfish, yet you are the selfish one.
You claim everyone who refuses your delusion is crazy, but......

Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.

I would like to have a flying, 1200 MPH car. I haven't been on a commercial airplane since March, 1967 and have no intention of ever getting on another, but I'd like a flying car never the less. I don't know what I'd do with such a contraption but in the spirit of "gimmie-gimmie-gimmie," I really should have one, or at least the Republicanesque desire for it. Perhaps it would make a good lawn ornament to complement a plywood, bent-over, fat lady with polkadot skivvies in the flower garden.

A flying car... Can you imagine what a DUI traffic stop would be like? And going into town for groceries, booze, and smokes would be interesting, especally when you tried to park it.

A small correction: James Watt did not invent the steam engine. The properties of steam power were known to the ancient Romans and probably well before them.
quote:


The earliest human knowledge of the power of steam comes from the classical world when Heron of Alexandria described various machines using steam for such purposes as opening temple doors or to blow a horn. The engines were used to amuse or astonish rather than for practical or economic purposes. (Dickinson, 1963, 185-186). Claims have been made that the presence of slavery in Roman world ensured that the steam engine was not used in industry as slaves were a cheaper manual source of power. This argument can hardly be confirmed as we know little of the price of slaves and how much they cost to keep in classical times so we can hardly say that slavery made it uneconomic to develop an industrial steam engine. It may well have been that for long periods in the classical world slaves may have been expensive and a steam engine may well have been more economic than slaves especially for difficult jobs such as getting water out of mines. In any event it was impossible for the Romans to calculate the costs both for the development and manufacturing of a steam engine until they had actually produced one. The most likely reason the Romans never developed a steam engine was that the materials available to them were not strong enough or finely worked enough to allow an industrial steam engine and their lack of understanding of the principles of vacuums, atomspheric pressure and the properties of gases such as steam meant they did not have enough theoretical knowledge to build a steam engine.

In short, had the Romans the technology to produce the proper materials, the Christ might well have traveled by steam boat upon occasion. Interesting, no?

What precisely, is "liquid electricity?" When wiring is run for some DC application, the flow of the current is kept in mind so as not to get the polarity wrong (heater & cooling fans running backward, electronic ignitions blown, & so forth), but that's not really dealing with a liquid. What pray, are the properties of it?

Can you imagine a day when we replace all of the internal combustion cars on wheels with flying cars capable of 1200mph? I SAID CAN YOU IMAGINE A DAY ...

Okay, I see now that you're not just a thief, you're an extortionist, too.

You didn't spend "a life-time of work acquiring this technology," it was freely given to you (via telepathy), only 29 years ago (half your lifetime so far).

But now, rather than give it to the world - like the gift was given to you - you're going to hold it hostage until someone gives you money.

You know what? I sincerely hope that you're correct (that you've got an engine which offers free or nearly-free power) and I also sincerely hope that you get hit by a bus sometime within in the next ten months, so that someone else can find your alleged 75,000 pages of notes unburned and publish them. That may sound cold and cruel, but offered a choice between clean, cheap energy for everyone in the world and cosmicbrat's life, I'll choose the former every time. Of course, it's important to note that I'm not advocating for someone to murder you, cosmicbrat, because the odds that you are correct are exceedingly low. So, given the actual choice between your life and what is probably 75,000 pages of utter nonsense, I choose to let you continue on in your miserable, paranoid and hypocritical existence, and advise everyone else to opt for the same thing.

Have a happy 60th birthday, cosmicbrat, and check with your local law enforcement to ensure that you don't violate any burn ordinances as you say, "screw you, humanity!"

Speaking of awesome new engine technology, I saw on the Science channel the other day a new engine design which runs entirely on compressed air, the design is ultra efficient and produces no exaust besides air, not even water. Air is forced through a turbine and a cam rolls six pistons in and out from the center. The compressed air natrually cools the engine and the high pressure forces the engine parts away from each other reducing wear. On a standard sized air tank it could run a small vehicle like a golf cart for 2 hours and the engine only weighs like 7 Kilos I think they said.

Note: And the guy didnt require anonomous whining on a hundred web forums and managed to avoid the world-wide conspiracy against free-energy!

Also from above I do believe the first steam engine was created by the Greekgyptians in Alexandria circa 100BC

Heres a flying car that also managed to avoid the world-wide conspiracy, go figure. You know I bet they didnt call everyone they met a mindless ape, that must be it.

Not only that, the article talks about a complete niche of manufacturers trying to develop flying cars. And they never asked spoiled brat for his opinion. Go figure...

Yea but think what they could do with liquid electricity! I still stand by my convictions about flying cars. I have nothing against new technology or going fast, I just have a huge problem with the crazy drivers I encounter on the roadway going extremely fast in the air! Crumple zones are not effective after about 500 or so .

So far we got what?

Flying cars stifled by safety concerns, consumer fear, engineering challenges, consumer cost, energy inefficiency, operator limitations, and, oh, yeah, uncommunicable non-designs based on psychotic celestial visions. "I saw a sign, here's my design."
