That's why the Star Trek "Transporter" is unpatented. Hmmm, maybe I should submit a patent application for mine.
The plaque would look nice on my wall, next to my patents for:
- Molecular nano-constructor
- Atomic pico-constructor
- Room temperature super-conductors
- Anti-gravity emitter
- Zero-point energy collector
- Wormhole generator
- Heisenberg compensator
I've got a few other applications in mind, too....

“It was easy after we found a way to overcome those pesky laws of thermodynamics.”Yeah, that was my thought too.
More punch, less heat? I wait with bait on my breath for the revelation of this new product.

Mathew Zuckerman, Ph.D., CEO & President of Alkane. "The internal combustion engine of today still works on the basic pioneering work of Nicolaus Otto's original invention in 1854. The fuel is burned and up to 75% goes into waste heat, while only approximately 25% is converted to mechanical energy. Our new fuel creates no such waste heat during combustion, but rather all of its energy is useful as mechanical energy in the engine. This will truly be a revolutionary innovation." Any chance he's giving away cabin heaters for winter? Flaming moron.

It truly would be, but apparently his Ph.D. wasn't in physics, or if it was, it came from a mail order company. Thanks Red Badger.

Don't know any mechanism by which you'd accomplish it, but if you could,
per impossible, assure that all the combustion products were in their ground rovibrational states (so that all the energy released by the reaction was translational),
and you could assure elastic collisions between the gas molecules and the walls of the cylinder, and between the gas molecules and each other, so that the maximum possible energy got transferred to the piston, there might be something to this.
But I'm not holding my breath.
Cheers!
