    I agree

    THey have been using water injection for years for high HP vehicles. Figure his next step would be to do a full-blown emissions analysis. If he could verify that emissions would drastically drop, he'd have something even more impressive than getting more use out of your gasoline dollar- Imagine all the hp you desire and no worry about cats and LT's in the people's republic of Kalifornia

        wow that is really incredible. Also if he could prove that it would lower emissions he would probably be able to get the support of many more organizations which means more money for research and on a larger scale. This guy could really be on to something...i cant wait to read more about it.

          I get the feeling that the oil companies aren't terribly pleased about the potential of engines becoming 40% more efficient while becoming more powerful (thereby opening the possibilities of making less potent engine designs in order to make the same power as today, thereby decreasing fuel consumption even further)...

          When someone comes up with a concept like this in their garage... do you ever get the feeling that we're like a bunch of sheep to the "alternative fuels" fad - like it's a smokescreen?

                We are definitely the sheep, but a smokescreen for what?
                Could we be victims of :
                The Problem Reaction Solution Paradigm (The Hegelian Dialectic)
                1) The government creates or exploits a problem blaming it on others
                2) The people react by asking the government for help willing to give up their rights
                3) The government offers the solution that was planned long before the crisis
