Hi,
I came across this Flextek product product at the link below from a
Brazilian manufacturer. The site is marketed for a Brazil audience,
but the FAQ's indicate that it would work on imported vehicles. With

Today while researching PT boats of WW2 and
their younger cousins, the PTF's of the 1960's, I came across a engine
called the Napier Deltic.
I was very intrigued with the idea of a
high speed 2 cycle diesel, that used opposed pistons.

hi, mark.
i, too, am kind of skeptical about hybrids, and i have a lot of doubts about
fuel cell vehicles as well. but to be fair, the life expectancy of the
battery units can only go up, and their cost only go down.
you also, even if only jokingly, raise a good point about the co2 credits.
Actually it is damn difficult to do. Lightning is the commonest emp most of us are familiar with. The strretlights in Hawaii got blown out many years ago but I think that was Bimini.
H bombs are pretty exotic. The battlefield emp weapons have effective radiuses measured in hundreds of meters not km

Reminds me of this quote by Ronald Reagan almost 20 years ago:

phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it
stops moving, subsidize it." I suppose the idea behind this tax is to
