Speaking of alternative fuels and power sources...

We are working on a 2nd Generation Liquid Nitrogen powered vehicle in the
Engineering Technology Department at UNT...

news article on it:

ve=1

Will be the 3rd built in the world... The first one was fun to drive and got
lots of looks... not much on range though... but then again, it was the
first try...

The webpage about the original: http://www.mtsc.unt.edu/CooLN2Car.html

Liquid Nitrogen is a byproduct from producing liquid oxygen, and is very
abundant and cheap... plus our vehicles leave the environment just as clean,
if not cleaner than it was...

We've also been building some air-powered bicycles... he he he

Later!
