        <description><![CDATA[Developing a low revving but very high torque fuel efficient gas or diesel engine that feeds a generator that produces electrical power to batteries (or directly to) an electric motor-driven vehicle? The low revving engine would be computer controlled to maintain a minimum safe battery charge (but always running), thus the revving is computer monitored to smooth out and slow the acceleration and deceleration curves for maximum fuel consumption. The batteries allow for the instantaneous electrical power draw for short periods of large power drain (hard electrical motor acceleration). The high torque would allow for high ratios between the fueled engine and the generator output. The engine would not need fast acceleration as todays engines require due to the batteries covering for the brief electrical power demand and thus the engines can increase (or decrease) the revving at a very slow efficient pace.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Does anyone remember when  the gentle man from Barrie or Orillia made the carb that would get 40 MPG on any engine. Esso bought the design and scrapped it. All of these tales are miss leading and are or could be false. There is no Oil company that will allow anything or anyone to come out whit somethimg that will cut into their profits. Come on people get real. The final line is money!  Canda has more oil than the Arabs, did the price drop? No. The US owns most of the Canadian oil production.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Clean Diesel is already the reality. My Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes 3.0 litre diesel has no discernable diesel emissions. I have checked the tail pipe by the finger wipe test and there is no carbon film. Unlike my newer gas powered car!

        <description><![CDATA[It's no wonder the US is failing in innovative technology when the US Department of Energy is leading the way researching &quot;New&quot; gasoline technology with our tax dollars instead of what we thought they were going to do...... innovate new energy technologies.  Wow, and I thought it was just Hollywood that couln't come up with anything new.  We're so screwed.  Let me be the first to welcome our new Chinese masters!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[How about we build an engin that has 1.5 times the power, even at 75% max power density you get 1.1 times the output and have fule usage of 75% of the original engin.  As well you have more power and torque in the normal range.Best idea is still to combine this engin with an electric drivetrain, new batteries, and also lets put some reseach into improving energy production as well as energy storeage.Imagin a plug in electrice, with a high efficency gas/diesel engin powering a next gen alternator.]]></description>
