EEStor

i discovered this company when i was researching super-capacitors. they're very secretive but have recently come out claiming they've invented a new energy storage device which is a 10x improvement on the lead acid battery. from what i can gather its essentially a super-capacitor, but much better. there seems to be very little info on them but heres some interesting things i found.

what EEStor has to say - www.treehugger.com/files/2007/01/big_news_eestor.php

if their claims are realised then this could really revolutionize energy storage

Water Powered Bike

I am not sure if anyone seen this footage before, but i remembered catching a glimpse a long time ago. It is a '60 minute' documentary showcasing that an Aucklander, Steve Ryan has created 'the hydrogen fuel', (alternative water fuel source for bikes/ automobiles). Quite unreal.
