New invention.
Just came across this story. Wasn't sure where to post it so I made a new thread.

Re: New invention.
Interesting (and strange). I'd like to see how it works on Bin Laden...  .

Re: New invention.
Sounds like a load of sh** to me. But i'm a cynic.

Re: New invention.
Speaking as an Australian I am especially interested in that mention of using it for De-salinisation.

Re: New invention.
My vote goes for load of horse s**t. Hell the article doesn't even really make sense if you read it at a glace so I sincerely doubt that it is real.
Most likely it was written by the guy who got fired from the post for making up crap.

Re: New invention.
Sure is a crappy article. There was something on /. recently. Some guy in Asia (Taiwan? Japan? I can't recall now) developed a much more efficient motor, using specially aligned permanant magnets.
Sometimes the news articles report it's 80% more efficient (is that so unbeliveable, I dunno), sometimes they say 0.2 more power or torque (pick one guys, they are not interchangeable), sometimes they say you get more power out than in, they really bury that Last comment.
Do they write crappy articles to hide flaws in journalistic research or cause the world has become progressively dumber? Meh. Waiting for /., someone will rip them apart. Even if true.
