25% is a huge boost in economy. I don't know if diesel's are figured into the manufacturers Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) or not. But if they can come out with a piston top that gives 25% more economy for a gasoline engine the manufacturer's jump all over that.
You mean like they did with the 200 mpg carburetor? :)
Yup, much the same --- some big oil company will buy the technology and patents and set it on a shelf. Done.
All US and foreign patents that are issues are viewable on the patent and trademark website by anyone, post that a oil company supposedly bought and set on a shelf patent! And patents expire, so anyone can use it once expired. anyone done that?????
And other than perpetual motion machines one doesn't have to prove something actually works to get a patent. Usually the examires will catch ones that are obviously not doable, but there are patents issues that really aren't realistically able to be implemented.
