OK, let me take a different approach, one that doesn't even talk about the physics. From the article:

MDI already signed with 50 factories in Europe, America, and Asia. The company is offering 20 licenses in the U.K. as exclusive manufacturing areas for cars as well as offering other licenses in the nautical and public transport sectors.

Doesn't that, in and of itself, raise a red flag in your mind that the story is BS? 50 factories? Does any other car use 50 factories? Have you ever heard of economy of scale? Nobody would use 50 factories. It is just a BS number thrown out there to make you think "wow" 50 factories. Also, they are "offering" 20 licenses. First of all, offering them doesn't mean anything. Secondly, why 20 licenses? Is any other car in England manufactured on such a basis? No, why not?

When you get emails from Nigeria, do you look up the details of every single one in order to determine if they are true? Or, are the language and the claims made so absurd that you don't need to? I would suggest to you that this article is almost as absurd as an email from Nigeria.

It's not just one article. This car has been looked at by dozens of news agencies...hundreds of potential buyers...dozens of governments have reviewed the car for potential purchase...If it doesn't work it will fail. But, so far the companies involved are growing and taking orders for purchases.

It means they are making money from licenses and not production. ;-)

You can't be serious ? Most car companies use hundreds of factories to produce the parts for a car, and a few final assembly plants. Did you think all of the thousands of parts that go into a vehicle are made in one factory ?

ROTFLMAO
