Ja.

Keep our new creation secret... No.....

Let's share our idea... No...

Let's get more money....first....

Then we share our idea....but...

Should we tell then the seals won't seal...

Should we tell them it smokes like a pack of Marbs?

I can't wait to see this happen; we need efficient, yet inexpensive (not high priced Volts) electric vehicles for the masses now!

UNPROVEN.................TO.................THIS...............POINT NOT ENOUGH POWER TO...PASS A CORVETTE ZR1..AT 212 MPH STOCK. GENERAL MOTORS, FORD, BMW AND EVEN FIAT WOULD BUY THIS GUY OUT IF IT WAS WORTH THE ILLUSION HE IS CREATING.

This has been the "news" on the Wave Disk Engine for over 2 years. What is going on with this? Is it just a project to get grant money or are they actually working on this to help humanity? Probably the money thing, right?

Two years ago, Dr. Mueller said he would have a 25KW unit fit for a Chevy Volt by the end of 2011 and it would be 60% fuel efficient. What is his current status?

The savings of 1000 pounds is the total of the weight of a V8, the radiator, coolant, transmission, heavy frame and suspension needed to support everything and a certain amount of imagination.

Ummm....

With maybe the exception of WW2 aircraft 12 cylinder engines occasionally used for custom hot rods, no automotive gas engine even approaches 1000 pounds, so it would be rather hard for this swap to actually SAVE 1000 pounds!

Good to see that Norbert finally got his theory up and running, though.
