Okay. I saw this mentioned on CNN last night, and thought it might have been bullshit, or at least a complex fraud.

Apparently, they're being pretty brazen about it working now... It still sounds a bit too good to be true, but if the bloody link will work you'll see a number of things that would indicate that they might actually have a wholly viable mechanism for getting cars to run on freaking water.

Wow...

my first reaction is if something seems too good to be true then it probably is
i notice the bbc, the nytimes and the washington post have ignored the story
it would be nice but i remember getting excited by cold fusion

The problem there is that most major scientific breakthroughs also seem too good to be true (harnessing lightning, breaking the sound barrier, penicillin, escaping Earth's gravitational well, etc), because they figured out something that we were all wrong about before. I definitely want to see this looked into, because if what was said by the two gentlemen interviewed wasn't a barrel of lies, then they've got something seriously world-changing.

...which means assassins from General Motors, Shell Oil, and British Petroleum should be descending on them any minute now, not to mention the army of lawyers from companies who think they're entitled to sue for a piece of the patent money.
