Side note: filmed at Oxford University last week, watched as methane I think it was methane) was mixed with a catalyst to produce heat and clean steam - at room temperature! Watch as steam makes a come-back in 5 to 10 years. Also - methane (definitely methane this time) was mixed with a catalyst to produce pure hydrogen - at room temperature. Previously this could only be achieved with hundreds of degrees C of heat. The company with the patent on the catalysts is called Oxford Catalysts and floated on the London Stock Exchange last week to raise £15million to get going. Expect fuel cell technology to take off in a very large way over the coming few years. Prediction: in 10 years batteries will have gone the way of film! <http://www.oxfordcatalysts.com/> Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
