[QUOTE=der Moench]Thank you, Luis! It's been long enough, I didn't think anyone would know me.

Know you? nay, but some of us archive divers would recognize you if you popped up for a bit of a spam. Though I dare say you'll find ti different, what with the absence of Weasel and all...
And does anyone knwo anything about using cold fusion to power cars? I rana cross something about it while doing a reasaerch apper on duetrium late last year and now cannot find anything on it...
Alternative fuels
First of all... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion (I'm a wiki fan too...)
Cold fusion is possible only through much research. It has been opposed by the mainstream as dangerous and ridiculous.
Cold fusion is a product of the discovery of Nuclear power and it's too new to be put on the market.
The following paragraph answers your question completely:
"Cold fusion's commercial viability is unknown. Thorough understanding of the effect necessary for commercialization has not yet been achieved (although several competing theories exist). Some researchers have indicated that the effect can occur in metals other than expensive palladium, such as titanium and nickel. Studies showing the largest power densities make use of palladium, and even then do not show commercially substantial levels.[14] Researchers have not yet shown ways to prevent cathodes from deteriorating, cracking, and melting during the process (occasionally, cells have been known to burst). Additionally, the most widely reproduced experiments produce power in bursts, not continiously as is needed for many applications.
There are various companies which claim to be developing cold fusion devices: Energetics Technologies Ltd. (Israel), D2Fusion, and JET Thermal Products. Ongoing developments concerning cold fusion commercialization efforts are tracked at peswiki."
@Moench: The 1-litre car is a concept dating back to 2002... I guess the Loremo is a deviation/continuation of that model?

God, I can see it now: cars that run on hemp, turning cars into the ultimate bong. Every time you get stuck in traffic, you run the risk of someone wrapping their lips around your exhaust pipe and taking a hit... sign me up. :laugh:
In an ideal situation, it'd be cool if cars could run on something that put out chemicals to counteract the damage we did to the ozone. We could pollute the air with something else that will take care of what we used to pollute the air with, and it'd be quicker than any other solution to fix the ozone situation. 'course, when has a situation ever been ideal?
Why don't we use water-run cars? Cars burn off water, the composite parts that get broken up in the "combustion" would go into the air, reconnect, and we'd get more rain. Fantastic, lol, especially if you live in Florida, the land of perpetual rain.
I say we bring back the old slave-driven carts. Nothing says "style" like riding in a shaded cart and whipping those who pull you. It's slow, granted, but it's economical and environment-friendly. And with the current job situation, it creates a lot of new jobs for a seeminly-underrepresented and underappreciated work force. And we don't have to worry about obtaining new sources of oil ever again. [Geez, I'm a regular Jonathan Swift]
