Well as some of you guys know I recently sold my Z to get my dream truck, got it a couple months ago and after talking with my wife about an idea I have had to make a zero emissions motor we finally decided to pull the trigger and give it a go...Applied for the patent today and I have a guy coming by friday to buy the truck so we will be a 1 car family for a while but with her not working its not a huge deal. We both figured if we are doing this with the costs of lawyers and patents that I would rather be debt free, at least in the beginning and hope this takes off.

Some of you guys may not care but I figured I would tell someone lol

yea thats what we were thinking, right now with no kids and a steady job and with the truck sold we have no debt it just makes sense to atleast try instead of live in regret. Would it be hypocritical to invent an emission free engine and never drive one though lol I wouldnt be able to stay away from the truck scene lol

Go friggin apesh!t with the engine idea dude. If we have a gearhead behind the genesis of a clean burning engine, we win. I hope you get to be a billionaire with your idea.

thanks everyone, I cant really shed too much light on the specifics until the patent is pending and protected but there is no fuel for the actual motor, still a lube oil in the crank case and a theoretically its an unlimited RPM motor. I applied for the patent yesterday and have a lawyer lined up to look it over and then I need re apply for an international patent once I get the US one. As long as there is no one else with the idea patented then Im pretty sure it will be an easy life for my family and me lol. I sent an email to GM and they sent me a link to submit the patent to have their engineers look it over to see if they would be interested.

Id prefer to keep this domestic atleast for a while to help out our economy more but this technology could be used in cars, trucks, generators for houses or buildings, weed wackers you name it so we will see.
