I don't know how that self contained steam motor works, but if it can give an airplane a 400 mi range on 10 gallons of water, I'd think it might work great in a car. Quiet, too? Whooo-hoo!

And where are the Besler brothers today?

Enjoying the millions of dollars an oil company paid them to destroy their plans and invention.

After all if it had worked as described, water is free, oil is not...........

How about this for wild!

Drone Controllers

For non-pilots, these controllers are in Nevada and are each flying a drone thousands of miles away in the combat zone in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their left hand is on the throttle controlling the drone's engine. Note all the buttons which perform various tasks without removing the hand from the throttle. The right hand is flying the plane.

Is it just me or is there something really hot watching that woman talk all mass destruction and stuff?

Note to self:
Buy the wife a couple of joy stick controllers and a head set for Christmas.
