Oxford UK (SPX) Apr 26, 2006 - A team of researchers at the University of Oxford
have developed an enzyme based biological fuel cell that takes oxygen and
hydrogen from an atmosphere to power electrical devices. The enzymes used are
isolated from naturally occurring bacteria that have evolved to use hydrogen in
their metabolic process.

- Insurance costs more than gas - SDF - 4/26/2006 10:06:51 AM
  - $250 a month for insurance! Where do you live? Iraq? (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 4/26/2006 3:15:22 PM
    - That's nothing - SDF - 4/26/2006 5:24:03 PM
      - What have you got for a damage deductible? Keep that high. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 4/26/2006 6:01:46 PM
        
        Find me an all-season, all-weather vehicle that costs less than $100/mth, all costs included - SDF - 4/26/2006 10:55:28 PM
        
        Nothing useful in all weather is going to be that cheap. - Tom Brosz - 4/27/2006 1:20:31 AM

        In Australia - nick hoffman - 4/27/2006 10:26:07 PM
        
        That's $333/mth for insurance, a full one-third more than I would have to pay (n/t) - SDF - 4/26/2006 5:31:29 PM
        
        Actually, $333/mth US converts to $375/mth Canadian, that's 1.5-times what I would have to pay (n/t) - SDF - 4/26/2006 5:37:08 PM

  - What about burning carbon dust? - REB - 4/26/2006 5:15:18 PM
    - We have laws against perpetual motion machines. (n/t) - alcaray - 4/27/2006 4:09:24 PM
      - Not a perpetual motion machine. There is energy input to get the carbon from the CO2 - REB - 4/27/2006 5:18:09 PM

        rREb, you are wrong about the energy imbalance of refining - nick hoffman - 4/29/2006 6:46:57 AM
        
        To be fair - nick hoffman - 4/27/2006 10:22:08 PM
    - No... - R.L. - 4/27/2006 8:13:44 AM
      - You are essentially advocating 'burning' CO2 to create CO2 - R.L. - 4/27/2006 8:21:15 AM
        
        Conservation of energy? We put more energy into finding, getting, transporting and refining oil than we get out of it by burning it in our cars. - REB - 4/27/2006 1:00:27 PM
