that is pretty interesting!
Its kinda sad though, it reminds me of a new engine I read about a few years ago in like Motor Trend or something, and I think the engine had a certain "rotory" property about it, but I've not heard anything since then.
If the darn thing can run ALSO on something other than gasoline, then it could really fit into the future.
Carroll Shelby isn't exactly a business genious, we all know that, but he does know how to go fast.
These stuck out for me:
"If the performance figures are correct..."
&
"It is believed that the technology will be accepted by the auto industry when the environmental, emission and cost advantages of the OX2 engine over existing technologies have been proven."

Yea, I liked that part too.
Maybe i should get 10,000 shares just for ha ha ha's and see what happens. Maybe GE will buy them out in 3 years. Sounds like this engine could be made in Carbon and be adiobatic, running on natural gas.

i remember seeing an early prototype for that engine, or at least that same concept, many years ago. was a 12 cylinder at the time i believe. a real shame it didn't take off then. but i'd think it has a better chance now that fuel and environmental issues are receiving more attention and other alternatives like hybrids have entered the mainstream.

While I was gone, my stocks held up fairly well. I am averaging a 12-15% gain per year since I started investing. That gain doesnt factor in the inflation that occurs though. Now I need to invest some more though.
