Or that ZZ Top reject from the Addams Family is it.
Aside from that, I wouldn't mind a Chariot. If this is indeed 'IT', and not an example of the media capitalizing on a businessman's capitalization of the capitalist market.

Thanks for digging that one up, Sol, I was beginning to wonder whether there was any news on Ginger. Assuming it's true, which I think it is, I hope this invention does well and kickstarts the introduction of hydrogen cars.
The article said the device balances on two wheels, I wonder if this means that it has two really wide wheels or if it has two wheels tilted opposite each other.
They mentioned the Stirling cycle too, we did that in Thermodynamics. The Stirling chcle has something to do with heat being stored in, and subsequently drawn from, a "regenerator", in order to improve the efficiency of the cycle.

Or maybe it balances on two wheels the same way a bicycle, motorcycle, or normal scooter does...

Big fucking deal. Hydrogen engines have existed for a long time. Someone just found a way to strap it to a scooter.
There's only one problem with it all. Hydrogen cannot be harvested effectively on the Earth, because it is so light it escapes into the atmosphere, not to mention its reactive properties. So it needs to be manufactured, mostly from the splitting of water.
2 H20 -------> 2 H2 + O2
This process is extremely expensive, and takes more energy than its worth to in the first place.
I'm sure every chemist and physicist out there is laughing at all the losers following the hype.

No, no, no! My roommate has been driving into my head for months the fact that Dean Kamen is a living god, and so this has to be the best thing ever. Besides, I believe future incarnations of this are supposed to have an engine that can use more than just hydrogen as fuel...we'll see.

HAHA! Frank probably NEVER gets tired of completely random, and unecessary posts about the DEFIANT! GIVEN that HE argues that THE DEFIANT IS 120 M LONG, WHILE OTHER PEOPLE DON'T!
Hijinks ensue!

You know, I do still post, just not as often due to college.
And the Defiant is one Defiant in length.

Anything is better than the internet. Cancer is better than the internet. At least you get out. Wet dogs who are wet and stinky who pee on you while you are wearing your best suit and suddenly a very nice looking young woman comes over and sets your house on fire because you are covered in dog urine is better than the internet.
Although you can probably find that at (Amusing URL removed by the management, who admits that he is a big stupid jerk.

I think a method of transportation that is clean, and more viable than using a pogo-ball to go to the city, hyuck, is quite a bit better than the internet, where you can search for "I am a Female Feline Sorceress" or "Starscream's children Fan Fiction" and get one hundred million results.
