My just as crediable $18,000 Air-Powered Car

First major componet:
www.rhoadescar.com/jumpspec.htm
Add a couple Alluminum 80s (SCUBA tanks) couple them through a manafold and valve to an air motor ( a die grinder perhaps, maybe a geared down sander or cutoff tool)
There you go; Eco friendly and worthy of taxpayer $$.
Now all I need is some slick marketing and a few of the more gulliable; to push the goverment to give me the money.
Hey, maybe I can get a Hydrogen powered house?
Luck; Ken

Since you can spell neither aluminum (aluminium) nor manifold correctly, I think we can count your ideas out.

You can count my spell checker out, on this 64 bit system, but if you judge ideas by their presentation then you have a very shallow view of the world. But then it has become obvious that you only read these posts to find fault, in a vain attempt to convince yourself of the value of your own posts. The loss of your opinion will not depress me one wit.

It was a stupid idea even before that.

I was wondering at the lack of a 'humor gene' in this discussion. I guess you should have made it very obvious by putting _JOKE_ at the end.

However, if, as I suspect, someone is doing a psychological study on gullibility, credulity, etc., using all those plausible-looking videos of air cars and claims which have no relation to practical possibility, then maybe there is some university involvement, which may be supported by tax dollars. Certainly, we have seen some interesting behaviours. People who believe in the air car have become extremely defensive when their belief is challenged. Some have quite openly said that they refuse to accept the theoretical reasons why the air car cannot work as advertised. Others, despite the fact that MDI has failed to meet multiple deadlines in the past, continue to believe its promises about future activities. Could this have some relevance for politicians? We shall see... dow

His failure to comprehend is succinctly described here http://www.diclib.com/cgi-bin/d1.cgi?l=en&base=amslang&page=showid&id=8419. A problem easily cured by less posting and more thinking... not that there's any chance of either.

Yes, I'm afraid I didn't get it either. Too used to clowns defending the idiotic idea I suppose.
