Perpetual Motion Engine - funded by government!
Yes ... it appears the government have funded a perpetual motion engine company run by a bunch of Russians.
Cars would use water as the main fuel and need only a small amount of petrol, thus cutting costs for motorists.
Trade Minister Ian Pearson said: "The successful creation of OM Energy Ltd as a UK company represents UK Trade & Investment's steadfast commitment to help develop global entrepreneurship based on exceptional intellectual property.
I wonder how much of our tax monies have been sent in this particular direction. posted by John Hemming ¶ 8:33 am

"... a bunch of Russians"
Just exactly what are you saying here. Would you have said a "gaggle of Arabs" or "load of Poles"? I suspect if these were US citizens you wouldn't have said "a bunch of Yanks" but would have accepted that investing in innovation wasn't such a bad idea.

There's a longer story here.
Is this a joke? Is it April Fools Day?
If I understand correctly this company is using technology to split H and O in water so the H can then be used as a fuel. This is ludicrous since, if I remember anything from my physics degree, it takes more energy to split H and O in water than is available using the H as a fuel.
Otherwise we have in infinite amount of energy, a perpetual motion machine and need some new laws of thermodynamics.
If the government has put any money into this then someone's been conned.

"... a bunch of Russians"
Two-thirds of my family are Russians and we see no problem at all with the phrase, any more than I would with "a bunch of Poles", "a bunch of Saudis" or "a bunch of Americans".
Not sure whether I understand the science and engineering principles of this yet, so I won't comment on whether this will work.
There may still be a lot of wild, offbeat but possibly useful ideas to come out of Russia. I remember some years ago some military scientists writing to me for help in marketing some kind of high-speed smoking of fish.
