A San Francisco man almost died Thursday when the lit cigarette he flicked out his car window blew back in, setting his vehicle ablaze.

D'oh!

How timely! I was just checking out IZ's website. :)

After the way the organizer of this con has treated people in years past, I'd be amazed if attendance this year goes past double digits. The aforementioned tool has pissed off a LOT of people who helped him out in years past. I personally hope he takes a bath in March.

INTERZ0NE SUCKS - DON'T ATTEND IT.

Oh... did I just post that in a blog?? Hey, maybe I can be threatened with a law suit now too??? :D

Interesting... I thought of the same thing 25 years ago when I was first shown electrolyisis of water in JR High science. A car that "runs on water" (with more than a little help from the sun).

Not to rain on these kids parade, but they are wasting a LOT of energy cracking the H2O molecules to separate the hydrogen and oxygen. I seem to recall the conversion efficency for electrolyisis being less that 50 percent. Much more efficent to simply take the electricity from the photo voltaics and directly drive electric motors.

Its a neat idea though and kudos to them for doing it. Its this thinking outside the box that is needed to solve the energy crisis.
