They might have patented a new use for an existing technology, but "invent"? (not) The hydraulic accumulator technology has been around for years. Caterpillar used a hydraulic retarder on scrapers in the seventies, the accumulated pressure was just wasted, but the basic idea was there. There was an electric retarder used on semi trailers in the early 80s, but there was nothing to do with the electric charge but to dissipate it and the result in the right conditions was grass fires, so it never went too far. I guess it was a pretty good show to watch it come down a big hill at night. We must remember that the technology to get 200mpg out of a flathead V8 Ford was invented in the 1930s, we must wait and see in what form it will be released (expensive) if it ever gets released at all.

I do know however that Charles Pogue did build a dry gas carb that when he poured a pint of gas in it he could drive his flathead ford 27 miles. you do the math. You can look up the patent if you want. It has long since run out and I got the patent papers and built one in 1986. I put in on a 350cid in a 73 Chevy pickup. It only held about a quart of gas and when you heated it with an electric element it became a vapor. The engine breathed this vapor and ran, not well, but it ran. Once it was warmed up then the exhaust heated the gas. I could coax (sputter sputter) 34 miles out of a quart of gas. (Not real fast either) I just did it to prove to myself that it would work. The first thing one would have to improve if one was ever to make a dry gas carb work well is to prevent backfires. A backfire could ignite approximately .75 cubic foot of gas vapor; they'd pick you up with a stick and a spoon. Once you get by that small hurdle then you have to solve the mixture problem. The O2 sensor with an ECM could be made to work if you had the money and time for all the R&D. Here we go, dreamin' again. God Bless.
