smells like crap.
They claim t it can heat water to 1200 deg in 5 sec.
That would take something like 14,000 BTU (i think) Which would be a gallon of gas in about 40 seconds.
I'm not an engineer so I'm sure someone can check my math.
The site lacks any real data and you have to give your name and email to get "technical data"
A search of the US patent office brings no returns for their alleged patent number or "Heat Regenerative Engine"
Here's my prediction:
In 10 years the world will look pretty much as it does now. Hybrids, electric cars and other non-traditional powerplants will comprise 10% of the market and we will still be burning dead dinosaurs to get around. The only difference will be more LP and CNG.
