“Say what? If students at one school can be brilliant and invent something, surely students in another school can do the same, your conspiracy theories notwithstanding.”

I was not inferring that there was a conspiracy theory. Products are bought by companies all the time and buried. What I was saying was that there was great fanfare about this and then it just died.

Think about it. We hear all the time about all these great inventions. Are we to believe that in almost 30 years there hasn’t been an engine that can run at 100+ miles per gallon?

How come they are not in our vehicles?

Such a vehicle would be a toy, not move people safely and timely. Physics of energy contained in gasoline and the energy required to move mass in while overcoming friction, drag and the Carnot limits of a heat engine do not go away.

Do you think China or Russia would care about who bought up the patents to gain such ability?

Repeating lies over and over do not make them true. But the do sell magazines to gullible with stories of Bigfoot & UFO's.

Well think about it... do you think if these engines were in Fords, Chevies, and Dodges they might suddenly make more money than Toyota? Now why wouldn’t someone want to do that? Further, some Saudi Sheik isn’t going to care. There’s plenty of ways to burn oil. Besides all he has to do is cut production, reduce supply and make the same amount if not more money.
