It would save me a ton on gas. I know the article is pretty long, but it's worth it in my opinion.

Incredible. Just goes to show that not only do we have the technology for this stuff, it's been around for a while.

Yeah, and I love the part where the GM engineer basically said they were told it was impossible yet some guy from Kansas that dropped out of school in the 7th grade figured it out.

I'm curious to see how it works out in reality, there are some challenges. My brother had this idea years ago.

Well, there's "possible" as a one off in someone's garage, and possible for mass production, safety regulated vehicles. Very different.

Very slick, but Vettezuki is right, unfortunately not currently practical on a mass production level.
