Seen so many promising "better" engines over the years that were never to be.

Sure would be nice

That is cool!
Please don't show me Popular Mechanics links. I'll end up following every interesting article on the page, and then I've wasted an entire day.

I know , I try not to post too many but there is some dam cool stuff on that rag. I use to take the mag but now just read the free emails they send, plenty to read from that and it's free.

Still no flying cars...

That sure spawns some interesting thoughts. When I was raised in the '70's, we were promised flying cars and jetpacks. Still waiting for my jetpack.

They also told us we'd be able to see people as we spoke with them on the phone and we'd be able to order stuff on the TV that would be shipped to our homes. They almost nailed that, as you can do both things with a smart phone.
