This news will provoke what. For me it show that actual batteries for cars are subpar costly and weak devises, so im not interrested to buy a plug-in prius, leaf, volt, tesla, imiev, renauld fluence, bmw i3 i4 and i8, via motor truck, toyota rav4, ford c max, any hybrid, portable computer, small battery flashlight, small digital camera, small watchs, chrismas battery toys to give at chrismas, lighthing electric motorcycles, coda cars, byd cars, gasoline car with ac delco or energizer battery. I prefer to postpone any battery expences till this battery that cost fewer and is 2x the capacity hit the market.
This won't help fuel consumption as air and gasoline do not change and we cannot do any change on it. They cannot use more monitoring for the combustion as it is already well controlled by the previous generation of micro controllers. The micro controller is not a tool for more mpg. All it will do is drive the cost down for the micro controller, use less electricity so you will save one dollar each year and less weight so you will save another dollar each year on fuel costs.
If it's cheap, recharge fast, last long and offer a real long range, then im interrested to buy. I will take a month or two of vacation and i will drive from montreal to winnipeg, calgary, vancouver, mount rushmore, las vegas, san francisco, los-angeles, new orleans, florida, new york and then back to montreal .
Im not sure i will be interrested to have that on my car. Usually i prefer to have myself all the control of the brakes and accelerator and direction. You never know if these systems will trigger suddently for no reasons and someone will hit you from behing if the car brake by itself.
Im interrested to buy, is it clear now... Put a local hydrogen station near where i live and put a hydrogen car for sale near where i live, it's not complicated to understand. these car manufacturers are still selling costly polluting gasoline car actually. Postpone all expenditure toward new gasoline car till they put for sale hydrogen cars, no more waiting.

It's been 100th time that i say that im interrested to buy a gallon of synthetic gasoline or butanol near where i live at a price lower then actual petrol gasoline. Please wake-up and start commercialisation now. We need that to lower the price of gasoline and also to reduce pollution. This is serious stuff. Im sure that it's cheaper and better then petroleum, why not start selling it. This is a message for goverments, all car business, investor, green crowd, bloggers, motorists, car guys, racers, mechanics, store merchants, journalists, united nations, g8, cytizens, artists, writers, etc.
Im interrested to buy synthetic gasoline of 87 octans if they put this for sale near where i live at an inferior price then the actual 87 octans gasoline made from crude petroleum actually sold near where i live.
All these 2 researchers did was to do enthusiastic pr for keeping their jobs. Why not increase the performance of the gasoline itself instead of increasing the performance of the ice itself. Do you think seriously that you will magically do more mpg with the same gasoline that didn't change since 100 years. Also if ever they find a way to increase gasoline power it will probably be incompatible with actual ice and it will then take another ice engine to be compatible. So again, like battery chargers, numerous complicated infrastructure. One thing that they discovered to be better was hydrogen fuelcell, so im ordering this product to buy right now and save money on gasoline ice studies. Put hydrogen fuelcell cars and trucks on the market now and nationalize any car compagnies that wouldn't comply to this, and start building efficient hydrogen stations or put the hydrogen gas maker directly into the hydrogen car. Ask this to these 2 researchers and they will say as the other paid researchers that they are near to find a miracle with gasoline ice. Their jobs is more to do pr for the actual ice then to find a miracle increase in mpg for real. If these researchers were working in a private labs and if they were paid only if they find a solution to sell, then these researchers will be poor and they will change their domain of researchs toward hydrogen instead that is more promising.
Unfortunatelly, building a gasoline engine that is tune for high mpg cost more and it put more stress on the crankshaft, transmission gears, pistons, connecting rods, etc. As soon as a sensor goes bad or the engine wearout a little bit , then things goes bad even more. I suspect that the engine controller can retard the timing of the ignition and enrich the air-fuel ratio as the engine get old to lower the combustion temperature and help the engine cope with the harsh climate and always changing speeds. The more i drive new cars the more i notice hiccups on acceleration, vibration, difficult start on stop signs, difficulty to maintain constant speed on highway, difficulty in ajusting the gas pedal on downhill or uphill, difficult gear change and harsh gear change in transmissions, imprecise gas pedal, some lean surge in traffic. I decided then to keep my 2005 dodge neon until it goes to the extrem of his live and avoid buying a newer car badly tune for high mpg reasons and that cost a lot. Even my 2005 neon is badly tune but i noticed newer cars are even worst. Now the market is this. Costly and polluting gasoline with vibrating and harsh cars and overprice and under-performing electric cars with very difficult and long recharge time.
Im 51 years old and it's the 100th new engine discovery i heard since im 8 years old. Please put one of these improved gasoline engine into a car and do multiple test runs on the highway, in hills, in town and on the highway at 70 mph for hours and hours and ten or twenty tousand miles before bashing my ears with el-cheapo pr propanganda.
Im interrested to buy more then ever. Im awaiting to buy a used hydrogen vehicle in 2022 approx.
Im interrested to buy at 1.50$/gallon if it's not made with foods.
I hope it's true and it look really promising. With that, windmills and solar panels, will find a good match because it will be less costly and more efficient to stock electricity for cars and homes. Bev drivers will like to recharge with solar and wind, less pollution and more free electricity.
Im interrested to buy if it's less costly then conventionnal metals and cheaper and if it don't rust. I won't buy new products if it's not better then what it replace and if it's not cheaper. This might push the price of steel down so it will push the price of that plastic down too. We need some competition in the market with a larger choice of products and technologies.
This is an engine that must have 2 crankshafts instead of one so this is costly and complicated. I think that it will fail unfortunatly even if i would like to have a 27% improvement in fuel economy. This is too big a construction, this is weaker and can fail easilly on the real road because it has 2 crankshafts so it's less strong mechanically. I checked their film on youtube and the prototype just run on a dyno and it haven't been tested in a vehicle on the road. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpwvEHaVXEo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VnCBkaYa0Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhogYIFm_ZA
I won't buy a regular lithium ion battery. I will wait till this cell hit the market and then i will look at it.
Are they the ones that will start to sell synthetic gasoline one day. It's been the 100th time that i heard something like that. It's the time to start as nat gas prices are low and gasoline price are high so the profit can be huge. Why this article still show experiment results instead of commercial results. Wake me up when someone start selling a new product and i will buy thereafter. We are late on commercialisation.
Is it a never ending story or what. As soon as they improve some parameters then there is drawbacks like this one where they found 300% volume change and loss of electrical contact. If it continue like that, i might never buy for myself an electrical car. I will be born under the ice car era and die without driving and owning a car powered by clean efficient more torquey electricity. Actually costs and specifications for electric car are simply not there yet. The range at minimum should be for 12 hours of driving without interruption. Now , even with a tesla at 110 000$ the range is barrelly 3 hours. With results like that serious buyers will never buy electric cars or trucks like tAXI DRIVERS, truckers, racers, long distance tourists, blue collar workers. In 2022, when i'll be ready to change my actual car, there won't be anything new on the market and i will still rely on a small well maintain gasoline car. Each and all of these new technologies are costly, underperforming and to date no profits have been made. Batteries, biofuels, synthetic fuels, chimical fuels like hydrogen or synthetic natural gas, windmills power accumulation, etc, all of these new things are a huge dissapointment with less then promising results. I was betting on hydrogen in the past, but since months they seam to get to a dead end with that and they don't speak anymore about hydrogen. In the future they will stop battery, fuels and hydrogen and every researchs because they never find anything worth commercialising.
Im interrested to buy, with the money they save in that process compare to conventionnal refined petroleum, the price should be around half the price of actual diesel/kerosene. Im there interrested to buy a discounted airplane flight ticket to las vegas and also they can ships goods in grocery stores with a rebate on transport costs. With this stuff, they can make butanol and im interrested to buy a gallon of it for my car at around 2$/gallon.
I think that the compagnies using co2, water and electricity as a feedstock have a higher potential for success and high production rate then the ones using food or waisted matters as feedstock. I won't buy any new biofuel from anyone if it's not cheaper and less polluting . Im currently on the market to find butanol at a cheaper price then the actual gasoline sold everywhere made from costly feedstock with hard refining consuming and waisting plenty of energy and rejecting polluting co2, carbon monoxide, acids, sulfur, etc.
What, they cannot build a cheap, efficient, long lasting hydrogen fuelcell even with this new catalyst. This gang will never start producing and selling hydrogen fuelcell cars and suvs in 2015 as they said they will be doing. after 17 hours of testing the fuelcell was at 70%, LOL. The honda clarity have a better fuelcell then these researchers because it run fine since years, it must be way better then this one. I hope honda stick with his promise and start the commercialisation of fuelcell in 2015.
Why not feed biofuel production with this system and recirculate it back at the input. That way we make biofuels and produce electricity and heat(hot water for heating in winter)from coal that not just act as an energy scource for electricity but as feedstock for biofuels too like green algae farming or methanol etc. The future is systems with fuel recirculation for the production of energy needs and abuse too, because just think of corvettes and suv's and personnal motorcycles and watercrafts.
This is a poor website overall. The solution is not to pay 6 000$ more for cars with less drivability like suggested by this website. The solution is audi windmill e-gas and hydrogen put in car that cost less. It cost less because you can keep your car longer because it wear less and also it don't pollute so no need to change for a new car.
This is THE SOLUTION to fuel problems and pollution and costs for all the time to come. Nobody in this incompetant website approve audi for the simple reason that they need stupid problems like gasoline cars with pollution and high fuel cost to have something to chat about, if audi resolve the problem then the problem for incompetants is finding some subject to expose their poor science knowledge.
