a car has been developed that is able to charge itself as it drives, it has been ratified in the phillipines.

what do you think of that then?

[happygolucky]

Wow, now how will the government make money from that then? could actualy save them loads of money!!

[deepinthewoods]

thats probably why its been done in the phillipines, cos the oil dependant nations wont be able to make money from it.  and they also have a habit of assassinating people who propose similar stuff, like the waterpowered car driven across america years ago. that guy ended up in a box...

[deepinthewoods]

its based on teslas original idea  http://www.libertynewsonline.com/article_301_30565.php
 
 
heres the linky  http://pesn.com/2011/02/24/9501772_Philippine_DOE_Verifies_Aviso_Self-Charging_EV/
 
 
heres the water powered car fyi.   http://waterpoweredcar.com/    this tech is already being retrofitted here in the uk.

is it dynamo powered ?..

[deepinthewoods]

haha, not quite it basically works on the principle of amplified radio waves, its not new technology, but it has been supressed ( sorry) since the 1930's.

whilst it might be easy to laugh this off, it is a solution to the damage burning oil does. the links do explain it properly.

It's certainly something I would consider if they became available here and weren't so expensive that only MPs and bankers could afford them.

I'm sure it'll need energy to build it, though... So it's only free-ish.

Still, any little bit helps - although I don't like quoting that particular slogan...

[sellickbhoy]

right....i'm skeptical the technology actually exists....i.e. free energy.


however, if it DID, it would be easy for the government to make money - up car tax, introduce road tolls, increase VAT rate on car purchases, increase taxes on car insurance


and of course, this would only lessen the demand for oil - which the oil producing countries would counter by cutting production. but other oil users would suddenly find the tax rate on crude oil had shot up significantly as well


soooo, you see, it's easy for the government to continue fleecing us


Read Ben Eltons Gridlock, it is an amusing light read on the subject of a motor engine that doesn't need oil. (it's been 15 years since i read it, might read it again now!!)
