New diesel technology

You don't have a financial interest in in this operation do you???

You sound pretty much to be spruiking it!

Are you really after comment or just trying to stir up interest?

Cheers

There is only one issue with petrol engines running diesel, to combust diesel you need compression and with compression comes stress.

I don't thnik a petrol engine will handle the stress for long, this is why diesel engines are heavy.

the oil companys will buy out the patent and lock it in a cupboard alongside the 50mpg carby

Surely you are not serious about this. The big car companies spend billions of dollars on improving fuel efficiency by 5%. Yet these guys claim to achieve a 30% fuel reduction AND 30% power increase.

If the claims are true, the owners of this technology will be on the worlds top 10 rich list by 2009.

But wait, there's more. YOU can buy shares in this company and share the financial success.

There's a common saying about fools and their money...

Five few things are certain about this company:
1. The shares will be worthless by 2009
2. The CEO will buy a new boat, house and a luxury sports car (or 2)
3. The stated fuel reduction and power claims will never eventuate.
4. The fools will complain about how the government didn't have policies in place to prevent them investing in this dodgy scheme and loosing their life's savings.
5. Today tonight will do a story on the CEO showing a history of failed companies behind him

I see there was a similiar thread just over a year ago on EO..... Thread 36419......one or two interesting postings there. Not too much seems to have happened since then going by the website.

I would be concerned that there doesn't seem to be any major (multi-million dollar) financial backers, excluding an alleged $3m grant from NAB. Surely someone would see the concept as viable? Why is this?

There is nothing to this. The data these guys claim is without substantiation and the technical info on their website page titled " a research led institution" is a pile of jumbled rubbish. I'm surprised that Prof Harry Watson at Melbourne Uni would have endorsed this - I'll have to ask him.

This was around a year ago. At the time I passed it onto our legal people because the some of the graphs shown were from really old tests done at Melb Uni on some of our technology. They were politely asked to remove it. I note that the data looks the same but references missing.

This is all about a share float to raise funds. I'd keep the cash in your pocket and suggest you give these guys a wide berth.

If it sounds too good to be true -------------- it probably is.

sounds like another Ralph Sarich wanker, sorry, orbital job. Give it plenty of spin then unload the shares and move into real estate.

This looks more likely to be seen on the road...

OK Thanks for the comments guys.

I too was a little dissapointed by the content, or lack of detail in their website, but I can understand it. If I was sitting on this I would keep the details absolutely secret too.

This guy has been around in the papers and tech mags for a few years now and has won several substantial awards with this injection system. If it was shonky one would have thought it would have been exposed by now. Just maybe the guy has something and is serious about keeping the technology in this country. If so, I can see his need to raise finance by a share offer

Unlike many (most) respondents to this post I prefer to be optimistic and not pessimistic about Australian inventions. Most of you will often say " this is the best country in the world etc etc", but you must realise that it was made that way by Australian people. Why is it so hard to believe that an Aussie could invent something so revolutionary? I guess its much easier to knock everything Aussie.
This thing has won the Triton Inventor of the year , Australian Machine of the year, an SAE Automotive engineering award, Australian design award, and Gold in the Class A Engineering Honors in the Salon International Des Inventions Geneve in Switzerland.
I say give him a chance!!!! I guess we'll find out next year!!

Ian

yeah.....nup.

I'll be right thanks mate.
