beer.. you forgot beer...

and then:

hookers and blow will be mine...mountains and mountains...

 

I know I intended to add "half a case of beer" to that as well.

Hey -- don't forget your friends who believed in your dream!

 

Interesting, but, not without its difficulties...... Bruce wants distilled water...... which would require more infrastructure.... the engine uses about the same amount of water, as it does gas..... water is heavier than gas...... then comes the problems for us northern folk.... how to keep the water from freezing in the winter........

There was another version that had the closed cycle water injection..... I.E. It re-used the same water over again.... I am sure there would be marginal losses..... so, you would occasionally need to refill the tank..

Being able to eliminate some of the complexity on the cooling side, would probably not offset the complexity being added by the additional two strokes, and associated equipment... Could be interesting though.

Bruce is 75 years old though, and is still recovering from some infection that had him down for the count for two years....... He hasn't passed on, or sold the patents he holds yet...... let's hope he can do something with it before he passes.

 

I gotta grab a beer just to re-read this......

 

Sounds cool. I want to build one now. I would love to hear one run...
