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

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.

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?
