a team of swiss aircraft designers are now flying a small model prototype of smartfish, a lightweight and fuel-efficient hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft that's been in development for five years. so far the team has flown a radio-controlled test model of the aircraft they say will someday carry two people at 560 mph using less fuel than a car. the hyfish prototype proves the concept of the plane's fuel-cell turbofan technology, working in concert with an aerodynamic configuration known as a lifting body, an innovative way of achieving lift with a reduced wingspan. its makers say the plane's interior is unusually roomy, and its simplified construction with fewer moving parts will make it easier to build, with relatively low operating and maintenance costs. beyond the current radio-controlled airplane stage, the goal is to first create a smaller 20-foot personal jet that can carry two passengers, and later create a design that transports 20 passengers. whether this technology can scale up to a full-size aircraft is anybody's guess, but on the smartfish website there's a fascinating video of the prototype in flight

this guy found the cure for cancer and a way to burn salt water. i don`t know why people still die from cancer and why they complain about the fuel prices. this video is more than 9 months old.
researchers at penn state university have developed a way to generate energy from bacteria that "eats" any type of biodegradable matter. looks like we are getting closer to back to the future 2.
how to use emp in this upcoming online-shooter.
a new method to separate hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water has been discovered. using a radio frequency generator, john kansas has stumbled upon the new method while searching for a cure for cancer. it is unclear, however, how much radio energy is needed to produce the effect.

some facts about the food we are wasting to produce american ethanol.
this has to be great for the fuel economy, just eliminate the engine.
although they've been working on vehicles that run on ethanol for more than a decade, ford motor co. and general motors corp. are now making an aggressive push into the alternative fuel. last week, gm ran its first national advertising campaign promoting one of its so-called flex-fuel vehicles, the chevy tahoe. ford last month began selling flex-fuel versions of its popular f-150 pickup. vehicles that are designated flex-fuel are capable of running on gasoline but can use the alternative e85, a fuel mix that is 85% ethanol and 15% gas. both auto makers are also helping to increase the number of ethanol fueling pumps at gas stations around the country. at least five million vehicles that can run on e85 fuel already are on the road -- but most operate on gasoline alone because of the unavailability of ethanol. access to ethanol is still sparse. only about 600 gasoline stations out of 180,000 in the u.s. carry e85, concentrated largely in the midwest -- with roughly 200 of those in minnesota. still, that number more than doubled in 2005 and is expected to increase fivefold this year, said phillip lampert, executive director of the national ethanol vehicle coalition, a group that promotes ethanol use. "this has been an uphill battle," he says, but in the past several months, "people have begun to take notice." in november, ford said it will work with brookings, s.d.-based ethanol producer verasun energy corp. to convert existing fuel pumps to e85. gm last week said it would lead a project in california to get the state department of transportation to use between 50 and 100 of its flex-fuel impalas while chevron corp. will add ethanol pumps at some gas stations near the agency's offices. ford and gm combined will produce 650,000 vehicles next year that can use e85, which currently costs about $2 a gallon. ethanol -- which is distilled from corn and grain -- gets less mileage per gallon than gasoline. vehicles that use only gas get 5% to 12% better fuel economy, according to national ethanol vehicle coalition. there's good reason for gm and ford to make the push. there's a green war among auto makers to appear environmentally conscious to their customers, a battle in which ford, and particularly gm, are coming up short.

three men trying to steal fuel from a new zealand farm monday ended up setting fire to their own car. police said the trio had siphoned diesel into a petrol-driven vehicle. when their car would not start, they examined the fuel pipe using a cigarette lighter.
one click, a boom and the car burst into flames.
"it wasn't a major whodunnit," senior sergeant ross gilbert told reuters, from the small north island town of waipukurau, about 140 miles northeast of wellington. "fortunately for them, there is no criminal charge for stupidity." the men, aged 18 to 19, escaped injury but were charged with theft.

it was fogged in and they had nothing to do. one said to the other, "man, have you got anything to drink?"
"nah, but i hear you can drink jet fuel and that'll kinda give you a buzz."
so, bill and bob drank jet fuel, get smashed and had a great time. the following morning, bill woke up and figured his head would probably start pounding as soon as he stood up.
but it didn't. he felt good. in fact, he felt great - no hangover! bill's phone rang, it was bob. bob asked, "hey, how do you feel?"
"i feel great!" replied bill.
"i feel great too! you don't have a hangover?" "no. that jet fuel is great stuff - no hangover. we ought to do this more often!"
"yeah, we could, but there's just one thing..."
"what's that?"
"did you fart yet?"
"what?"
"no..." "well, don't, because i'm in melbourne!"
bud and jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as airplane mechanics in atlanta. one day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do. bud said, "man, i wish we had something to drink!" jim says, "me too. y`know, i`ve heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. you wanna try it?" so they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hooch and get completely smashed. the next morning bud wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. in fact he feels great! no hangover! no bad side effects. nothing! then the phone rings. it`s jim. jim says, "hey, how do you feel this morning?" bud says, "i feel great. how about you?" jim says, "i feel great, too. you don`t have a hangover?" bud says, "no, that jet fuel is great stuff - no hangover, nothing. we ought to do this more often." "yeah, well there`s just one thing..." "what`s that?" "have you...err... broken wind yet?" "no." "well, don`t, `cause i`m in phoenix!"
an auckland adventurer wants overweight people to have liposuction so he can turn their fat into biofuel to power his boat around the globe.
peter bethune's biofuel-powered attempt at the round-the-world powerboat speed record will run on his own fat, and he hopes, many more well-endowed contributors.
the dominion post reports the lean auckland adventurer has had about four syringes of fat removed by liposuction from his own "love handles", but needs others to donate their fat for his cause.
if mr bethune, 39, gets enough fat he will have it refined and converted to fuel for his 24m trimaran.
