A few years ago, I saw a special on one of the 3 main night shows like.... nightline... or something like that. But anyway, the topic was alternative fuel source but the most interesting one was a so called "Power Cell" that the government was supposed to back up with funding. The power cell was supposed to work with "Hydrogen" that goes through a system that is connectied to it and the end is a boost in power but the kicker was the best part. The end product of a engine that uses gasoline is carbon monixide, which we all know is lethal and can kill..... but the end product of this Hydrogen Power Cell is "H20" that's right "Water" <(1part Hydrogen, 2parts Oxygen). The problem is, I have never seen hide nor hair of that power cell ever since that special they showed on T.V. It could be that the big oil company's killed it by playing politics with the white house..... because I remember the president saying that the government will give money to further its progress in creating it.
We have the technology... it's the lack of ethics that keep killing the good things that mankind can gain from.
about 20-25 years ago....I saw a one hour long special about an american inventer who invented an engine that could get 70+ miles on a gallon of gas. This engine was demonstrated in one of our deserts. At the end of the special he was asked "what do you think will happen now that you have proven that your engine really does work?" he made comment that "Politics" would kill his invention. A big oil company will make him an offer that he can't refuse or else the government will take away all rights to his engine.... they will force him to sell his rights and then bury the engines design and pattents. I never heard from that inventer since and I have yet to see this engine emerge, ever since that special....

benefit is cleaner air which would make lots more global warming. check out "global dimming" & "pan evaporation rate"
