Gfted1 Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Linky. The article is too long to c&p so Ill just provide a blurb. If it works it could revolutionize the industry. (CBS/AP) Millions of inventions pass quietly through the U.S. patent office each year. Patent No. 7,033,406 did, too, until energy insiders spotted six words in the filing that sounded like a death knell for the internal combustion engine. An Austin-based startup called EEStor promised "technologies for replacement of electrochemical batteries," meaning a motorist could plug in a car for five minutes and drive 500 miles roundtrip between Dallas and Houston without gasoline.

Tale Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) At first based on your blurb from it I thought this might be a patent vampire. But reading the actual article sounds like they may have an actual invention and products! Edited September 4, 2007 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Arkan Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Where do I sign up? "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Gorgon Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Well you still need energy to make electricity, the cheapest is coal, which is worse than gasoline for the environment. So. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Fenghuang Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Well you still need energy to make electricity, the cheapest is coal, which is worse than gasoline for the environment. So. You can do a lot to minimize the damage from coal. Carbon scrubbers, etc. RIP

Walsingham Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 what's the general scientific opinion on scrubbers, btw? Anyone have links? Am I the only the person who found this funny?
