    "IT" has pretty much been leaked... "I think anyway..."



    Slowly a picture is taking form... that of a "super-effecient" stirling engine...



    I dont know if I would sell any "Oil Stock" just yet thou...



    they are saying alot of cool stuff about this thing...







    I found this picture a dweebcabal.com i think...



    No one knows if this picture is "IT"... but it could be... maybe...



    Everyone will have one in the future I guess...



    who knows..

    My vote is either a useful Stirling engine or an improved Wankel engine. Yes, Wankel. Look it up.

    Wankel... I dont know how clean that is...



    Efficient maybe...



    thou I "think" wankel engine is fairly new idea... 1970 -60's...???



    However "IT" is rumored to 18th century Tech with a 21st century twist...



    This would coincide with a stirling engine...



    How about those japanese overunity engines...

    Wonder if those ever panned out... did Kamen improve those... they are fairly new too thou...

    Ferro, it was 19th century tech with a 21st century twist, actually.... according to amazon.com.

    I wonder if IT is a Stirling Engine-powered personal hovercraft / flyer.



    There DO exist personal hovercrafts, but they ar eenormous. One I found in Popular science recently. It's two downard-facing fans that can tilt slightly to give forward, backward, or sideways acceleration. Top speed low. Range low. Noisy. Expensive. And damn fun.

    Hovercraft are very hard to drive considering they don't have brakes.
  • Reply 30 of 85
    cdhostage: That is more a personal helicopter than a personal hovercraft. The fact that there are two spinning rotors above your head and the noise of it is part of the coolness. You get more attention and everyone nearby will run out to see what's flying down the street.



    I want one of those.



    I hope IT is nothing like what we think it is and is something truly amazing. Like, a kit to turn yourself into a cyborg (imagine Dean Kamen walking out looking like Darth Vader. ), or, I dunno, something mind boggling.

    my mother thinks it is going to be some sort of toilet.



    She believes that is why most people laugh when they first see but then say that everyone will have to have one and that things will be built around them and they'll be everywhere.

    Why would the architecture of cities be dramatically altered as a result of this super-toilet hitting the market?

    So...we have:



    World changing.



    Super-efficient energy source.



    Transport.



    Toilet.



    It's a shit-powered car!



    I can see it now - "Pass the Bran Flakes, Honey, I've got a long trip today"



    "I've found your problem, ma'am. She was running rough - had no crap in the fuel lines"



    "I've just filled the car with gas" "What, no solids?"



    and so on.

    My vote is for the "Flux Capacitor". Or a beanie with propeller on top.



    Something nagging at me says "hoax".

    Any kind of device that could alter infrastructure would have a strong impact on our cities, so the toilet thing could be plausible. Certainly building cores could change dramatically, plus changing mechanical and plumbing services to buildings. Tall buildings could particularly benefit since this kind of stuff eats up a lot of floor plate (therefore reduces efficiency) on lower floors. That is, if anyone actually builds tall buildings any more.

From what we know about IT, IT has to be something more, like something that uses an engine. Why would Bezos laugh out loud at an engine, and why would people design cities around an engine, unless it came with something else?



    I think the modal guess right now is that IT's some kind of personal transportation device that relies on a new, more environmentally-friendly type of engine.



    Sounds like IT'll sell great everywhere but the US.

    The patent illustration had it right... it's a gyroscopic scooter that takes a hint from the IBOT 3000 wheelchair.
