I'd rather have an engine powered by water! (well, hydrogen and oxygen 
)< http://www.business2.com/articles/mag/0,1640,17377,FF.html >

Called the McMaster Rotary Engine (MRE), it has no oil, no seals, no rings, and no coolant; it is designed to run completely dry. McMaster claims that it could theoretically generate more than 1,000 horsepower, enough to drive an M-1 tank. In a car it would eliminate the need for the transmission, the drivetrain, and the exhaust system.

...and plans for two other inventions: one a contraption that he claims will desalinate ocean water with unprecedented efficiency, the other an "antigravity machine" that he believes will prove some of Newton's and Einstein's theories wrong. I think this man got hold of some of the good stuff. But floating would beat walking ...and think of the no gravity sex!

Hmm...this sounds quite odd, but it's nice to see people like this trying to improve on something that we have all kind of just accepted. Best of luck to him. Anit-gravity sex? Damn, as if a condom wasn't hard enough to get on already.

Are you nuts, man? Zero-gravity sex kicks fucking ass - or I suspect greatly it would. Try getting it on in a pool. It's about the closest you'll get to it without several years of NASA training. Nice to be able to lift and hold the lady and give her just what she deserves.Yes, I am incredibly horny. I'm going home in about a week and a half. I'll be back to normal around then.

And oh the mess you can make in zero-G.------------------
When 1337 hax0rs start impaling each other with swords and typing code with a hook on one hand, then they can modify the term "pirate."

Yeah, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.
