  1. Great stuff! I trailered to Cali and rode the coast, don't know if I can do the bike thing all the way, though it sure looks like a lot of great places to see of the interstate.
  2. This is really funny stuff, you kinda have to know that its bunk to appreciate it but some of it is so crazy you wonder how can these people keep their face straight on camera. Enjoy. http://revision3.com/webdrifter/
  3. I would take it a step above and look at bottled water They fill it from municipal water source so its really cheap. Take it to the store and sell it for $10 per gallon, but you pay per bottle so it seems cheap. Now tell me is thats fair http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0205-01.htm

    Loud horn?

    Has anyone tried the Hella horn from amazon? Looks like its would fit right in place of the the stock horn minus the wiring? I just want something louder on the bike but dont need or have room for anything crazy.
  5. Amen. I think eventually they are going to start to sue their own parents because thats when it all began If only they hadn't been born.
  6. What do you mean by way too much? And they dont set them, commodity trades set the prices. There are thousands of sellers and buyer on the market. Every seller tries to get the best price while still being able to sell and every buyer tries to get the lowest price while still being able to buy. The price is what we call in economics market equilibrium. It is so high because there are 2 billion people in China and another billion or so in India that are using more and more oil. That pushes demand and that in turn means that oil producers are able to sell the oil at a higher price because there is no spare capacity left. Its capitalism in its purest form If you had a Honda Repsol replica would you sell it for the same price as just another 1000rr? Especially if there were 10 people at your doorstep bidding for it. You would sell to the guy who was willing to pay the most for it. Why should it be different with oil producers? Well whatever your feelings are on the politics of oil, and I am sure there is plenty of corruption there, accepting the h2o car sounds like this. "Oil companies are corrupt, therefore a car that runs on water, and violates the laws of thermal dynamics, is real." Its a Non sequitur
  7. BP is one of the largest producers of solar cells in the world. They are in business to make money for their investors not to run an Italian mob. Oil companies are investing more that anyone into the alternative fuels so that when the oil does become too expensive to drill for (in my opinion it will never "run" out) they will have something else to make money on. Personally I am indifferent to the oil refiners and it would be great when someone comes out with some other form of fuel but for now these technologies are expensive. I don't foresee them become too cheap soon but I do foresee gas prices skyrocketing and that will bring in more alternative fuel cars. Not that they will ever be as cheap to run because frankly what can be cheaper than fermented or petrified algae (oil) that can be just pumped out of the ground. Here are some that are already on the road and do not claim to break the law of physics. http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0504/22/autos-159034.htm http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/reviews/healey/2007-05-18-test-drive-fcx_N.htm
  8. Here is simple way to look at it, why can't I hook a battery to a motor that is then hooked to a generator that is hooked to a battery? And run that setup forever? Because every time energy is converted from one form to another (chemical to mechanical to chemical) some is lost as heat or noise due to friction. Because of this efficiency can never reach 100 percent. In fact 60 or so percent is fairly common in industrial machines. Depending on the energy source. If I was to take a gallon of water and zap it to get hydrogen, then burn that hydrogen in a motor that is driving a generator, I would not get anywhere near the electricity back that I initially put it. Thats why you cant skim the power to keep the cycle going, because even if all the electricity was put back into the production of hydrogen it would not be enough to sustain the reaction. Simply put you can not get something out of nothing, everything has to balance out. Also its interesting what the video (which is fairly old if you noticed) does not say anything about the byproducts of the reaction or the exhaust.
  9. Maybe because some harmless pranks nowadays cause some people to get guns and come in blasting because they cant cope with life and are to weak to put themselfs out of our misery. These people were arrested because they probably would not leave and were getting violent. The mob mentality.
  10. Lol thats a prank Or they are trying to scam some naive venture capitalists. This would be akin to having your gas furnace run on CO or CO2. Look at the Japanese guy he can barely contain a smile. And they dont explain how water powers this car all by its self. Water is oxidized hydrogen, in other words burnt and inert hydrogen. To get hydrogen out of water, or split it off of oxygen, it has to be electrolyzed in a similar way that aluminum rust (boxite) is converted to pure aluminum, using high voltage. So yes a car will run on "water" but it needs a source of electricity to separate hydrogen from oxygen. You have to put energy in to get energy out. Or find a reactive substance that has not yet reacted (petroleum) to do the work for you.

    I dont know if you guys have Harbor Freight Tool down there but here they sell a horn kit for 19 bucks with compressor, horns, relay and tubing.

    Amber Alert

    "Pennell-Rashell told deputies that when Custer stopped at a Sunoco gas station in Lexington, S.C., she was able to free her wrists and ran into the building and locked herself in a restroom. She was so afraid that deputies said they had to get the fire department to open the door because she wouldn't unlock it." Umm what about her kid? She just left him? Some mother.
  13. I hope so, because it really could be the Mayan calendar coming to an end. Or maybe Shiva is out to destroy the world! Though it could be that there are so many people leaving in every part of the world now so it always affects someone. and communication is so fast that we know of these things right away. I am surprised we dont hear about an earthquake every day!
