 |  what to use after oil runs out

 | Re: what to use after oil runs out
I have already been preparing for this. Many hours have been spent in research and development. What I came up with was quite impressive. Unfortunately my project came to a sudden halt with the untimley demise of what I reffered to as aircraft #1. With most of my funds used up in this specific prototype, I am saddened to say that the plug has been pulled. With respects to ongoing innovation I must say that all attempts will need to be reconviened by other groups interested in the future of elastic powered air travel. Thank you. |

Hi Highlights, I believe that was the first flying machine I donated to your son for flight testing and then you go and break it... I am sure that Highlights has some other testing under way.

PS, no matter how finley you try to grind up a battery, there is no way it will mix with gasoline. Nor would it ever come close to the 50:1 ratio most engine manufacturers recommend. .....so, electric power may not be the answer in continuing to use our gas engines after the oil "runs" out. You may just have to convert completely. |

How about sunscreen highlights? Highlights, I think the part you may be missing is that without oil we won't have gas either  Perhaps bio-fuel like canola oil.... who knows. I think I will go electric and just add a speaker to the plane that produces sounds like a 28x10 ripping.

We could grind up endangered species, and tree huggin hippies, and convert them into oil.
