- Wave disk engines to make hybrid vehicles cheaper, more efficient
- RE: Wave disk engines to make hybrid vehicles cheaper, more efficientIt would require an encyclopedia simply to list all the turbine applications developed over the past century. What turbines continue to dislike, however, is speed alterations. Change their speed and you lose much of their efficiency. That's...

- Liquids from methane could be better than mere gas(oline)
- methanol from methane?Technical nonsense. Methanol is a partially burned methane, using a catalyst doesn't change that.This is only feasable if the energy liberated by the partial burning of methane to methanol is captured and used.Fuel mileage of methanol is much lower than gasoline.Straight methane as an internal combustion engine...
