every time the price of gas goes up, gadgets like this appear from thin air. notice how they are lokoing fo rinvestors. if thie really worked, they’d go to a bank, or an investment firm, demonstrate the device, explain how it works, adn they’d be millionaires already.

also notice that the aren’t telling how it works. trust them, send them your dough.

right.

“they can build one small enough to replace a car exhaust that will last for a full tank of petrol.”

So you have to put a new one on af each fill up? Then what do you do with them? Put them in a mine shaft?
Shoot them into the sun?

That line sounds like a line from the Sting - Sounds like a con job to me... But then again I’m a cynic from way back.

No disrepect to these inventors, but Anthropogenic Globalwarming is a myth.

As long as they don’t call it Wales Oil they have a chance of attracting venture capital.

Let's see, A gallon of gasoline weighs 6.3 lbs, and creates 19.3 lbs of carbon dioxide. The captured carbon dioxide from a full tank of gas will weigh 300lbs or more.

This added weight plus the weight of the recovery system, should really drive down gas mileage creating even more demand for new oil production resulting in destruction of the pristine arctic and added pollution created by mining the Canadian oil sands.

Fishing buddies? Sounds like a fish story to me.

Why do all the renewable energy hype stories sound too good to be true?

CO2 is a gas. The only way to capture it is to fix it in another state. If there is some catalyst or chemical reaction, fine, but what is it? They don’t say.

There is always a catch to these schemes, eg the materials needed in the greenbos cost $1,000,000 per refill, or it weighs 1,000 lbs or the reaction smells like rotten eggs.
After all, if it is a great idea, why not put it on coal-fired power plant smoke stacks?

It amounts to a very costly, cumbersome, and time consuming way of collecting CO2 to stimulate the growth of algae for use as biofuel.

The algae don’t care where the CO2 comes from. There are already prototypes of systems for using the CO2 from coal fired power plants. Large, stationary systems attached to power plants would be far more economical. Here’s a FR thread about one of these systems: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1773030/posts

to trap the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming -- including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide -- and emit mostly water vapor.

And 95% of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere consists of

WATER VAPOR.

Dave, I paid these guys $5Grand for the rights to the 200 mpg Carburetor back in 1953. They welched on the deal.

Be very wary of dealing with these with people from the same country as Englebert Humperdink. (Not his real name) Or Tom Jones (Not his real name, either ... Whoa Oh Oh)

Anyone else remember the Lil’ Abner series about a car that ran on smog?

“Although the box the men currently use for demonstration is about the size of a bar stool, they say they can build one small enough to replace a car exhaust that will last for a full tank of petrol.”

10 gallons of gas weighs about 66 pounds; when burned that produces about 220 pounds of CO2.

It takes about five minutes to fill your gas tank, how long would it take to change your 250 pound muffler?

I think I know why the writer uses a bar stool as his frame of reference.

Now they need to make a model suitable for municipal coal-fired powerplants. They could recycle all the carbon and we would never run out of anything again. Forever.

Why does my green box car have to look so pussified?

Just curious really... Why can’t it look like a big old giant Ford F250 or a ‘64 Camaro?

Who gave you space travel?

Do your homework and you’ll find the father of the Jet Engine was british.

There are companies knocking with cheque books, understand this, the dollar and the pound are a close partnership.

So far the Yen has the biggest cheque on offer.
