    I speak Spanish, so maybe I can try to recruit a certain Sr. Alonso? You'll find I'm very persuasive!

    Well, we have plenty of lateral thinking that's for sure.

    I've heard somewhere that some part used reactors may become available, may need a little wire brushing to remove the salt.

    All we need to do is crack Nuclear Fusion and we can power the car on water, I'm doing Physics A-level if anyone's interested...

    Jersey, you are a welcome addition to our team, running on water sounds good to me, have done some work on extracting hydrogen myself, but a tad too explosive for my liking. Blew the lid off the container without any encouragement !<yikes>

    As I suggested elsewhere - the car could collect rainwater for weight and FUEL !!!!!

    Believe me, theoretically it can be done, but its not easy and not without risks.

    I presume we will have to let off some steam from the car... Can I suggest underfloor steaming which will feed through the diffuser?

    Right, there's this thing that runs ONLY, and I mean ONLY, on water! What you do is, use a superheated light source to rip apart the molecules of water, and use the subsequent vapour to power a turbine! The turbine then provides power to the wheels, a bit like KERS. I call it...









    THE STEAM ENGINE!!!

    Back to the future! - Now all we need to do is get some sponsorship by selling the idea to the oil companies&#8230;
