Brum Uni is just down the road from me, maybe I'll pop down later and see if they can string about 4000 of them together for me for my car

I wonder if you could fit a fat exhaust to it, combined with a body kit and neons for your laptop you would be the daddy

Pete

Hmm, can't seem to find any mention of it on the Uni website, sounds a bit suss

Pete

Not petrol again!!!

Now that I'm thinking about it seriously, what happens with emissions?? Are we supposed to wear a smelly and smoky watch?? Strange..

Impressive development anyway.

I'm sure a few of the local Chav's have those installed in their Nova's.......

it is a hoax. There is no point developing a mini combustion engine when a fuel cell would be essentially the same thing in a more controlled and refined manner. The emissions are a good point, plus the comment about it running for 2 years on a single squirt of lighter fuel is ridiculous...

If it is genuine, how would you start it? The emissions were my first concern though. Could be a great idea. What was the source of the story?
