Prototyping Zinc/Mg - Air w/ Harbor Tugs

A couple years ago an Israeli company was working on zinc or magnesium "fuel" systems for motor vehicles. The additional weight would be like an additional person in the vehicle -- not a biggie. The real problem was it would require an infrastructure, governmental action, etc. to be practical for road transportation.

I posted that it would be easier to prototype the system with something that never went very far and always returned to a home base where the oxides could be collected and sent for reprocessing.

After it's demonstrated then it could be pushed for motor vehicles.

Problem with prototyping it for short distance runs is that it might
not scale up for long distances and if you don\'t have a market for the
production version of the short-run prototype then you\'re SOL and, if
your marks bought into your hare-brained scheme, all you\'ll have done
is wasted someone else\'s time and money.

But that\'s no skin off your teeth, is it?

"all you\'ll have done is wasted someone else\'s time and money while
they supported you."  is what I meant to say.

But perhaps even "all you\'ll have done is knowingly wasted someone
else\'s time and money while they supported you." might be apropos.

Why not?

You need to go back to reading Harliquin romance novels.
