thats great and all but I wish they would teach the kids about real stuff like cars that run on water...to all the haters..you need to do more research. Stan Meyer..Daniel Dingle. GenePax.. A Japanese company who are starting to mass produce. It runs on only water. Ocean water, rain water, snow. the Japanese joked it could run on tea. Those Japanese have a real sense of humor. So although you may deny what is being said and done, it is happening with or without your belief system

Thing is that for the KGS one there was a team of about 8 all working on it, yet no one got mentioned... Also what they failed to say was that when we used the air compressor it broke so we were at about 80 PSI rather than at 100 PSI. We also only got 1 go where as NPL got 2 (and beat us by 2M) so yah GO KGS!
