Thought to myself, sounds interesting, the people commenting it aren't shooting it down in flames as a perputal motion devices (the commenters on there are usually pretty cluey, even if their social and political opinions are arse). So I jump on google, and forgetting the name of the device I just plug in "disc petrol engine". I come up with this :

Pretty much a similar concept that has been kicking around for 200 odd years. Not only that, but going back even 10-20 years you find people with a similar concept, similar claims and yet we've never seen this sort of thing come to market.

Before we start claiming that the oil industry is burying new tech, is there something off with their calculations that is preventing this tech from moving from the lab to real world ?

Here is a second link I just saw in the Breaking News thread courtesy of Tomvale13 :

That's a worry, the same thing, with a slightly different name, sounds like it could all be crap. http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/sho...elaborate-hoax

I wonder if the doctor is going for new grants under the new name!
