Thanks for your comment.

But I have Pravda in my feed because I find it so amusing. One of the top stories today is USAF designed flying disk to bomb Soviet Union [ http://english.pravda.ru/photo/report/usaf-3118 ]. This was reported in US tech zines in 2000 . . the designs were from the 1960s. What was the point of making these sensationalist claims? Often the top stories will be weird things that washed up or ufos or whatever. I have it in the same category as Ananova's Quirkies. I'm just saying that I don't usually think of Pravda.ru when I think of reliable science reporting.

Seriously, did not mean to offend you. I love your stuff and often link to your stories on my Facebook, Plurk and other places.

You think OPEC will allow this LOL hahahaha

Do hope this happens however. Just don't think greddy parasidic animal capitalists will allow it.

Hi Gwenny,

I want to first of all thank you for your response.

I do appreciate it.

You have every right to prefer your sources and this article was featured in several places. I chose Pravda because it was where I found the  info first. I did feel you were being sarcastic and you have to realize that the anonymity provided by this site makes some people think they have the right to vent on me everything that is wrong with their lives. Most of my comments are positive, but I have gotten some uncalled for beauts in my day, believe me.

i don't mind constructive critcism ever. If you come across some good sources for stories about Russia, by all means, if you have the time, please send them along.

I obviously misread your tone and I do apologize for that.

I aim to please my readers as they are the backbone of my column.

Maybe that's why bad comments affect me so.

In any case, thank you for the chance to talk to you and for being senstive to my feelings.

That is a very important quality and one much needed and not enough appreciated in this world of ours.

Keep reading, Gwenny.

Glad to have you onboard.

I'm confused. There's no real info on this engine and my first few searches have
yeilded no additional material. So, what's the deal? If you can put up more stuff, I'd love to see it.
cheers

 Hi there

I have to tell you that I used five sources myself and couldn't find out anything more than that which I already put in the article, but if I come across more info,  i promise I will post it.

Thanks for your comment.

Two words - perpetual motion

I found lots of stuff on it when i looked up that Robert Gyro whatever's name.

I seems to be some kind of a radial diesel engine. kewl

From the patents it looks like a rotary, not unlike numerous rotary engines of the past. There's nothing new here, so all you conspiracy theorists can relax. There won't be a big cover-up by the oil companies or anyone else.

Thanks you all for your comments.

I appreciate them.

But for every inventor who makes the headlines there are 100 more with equally good ideas and no money. I am an electrical/mechanical engineer and I have come across several different people all convinced they have invented a new engine which is much better than the existing car engine.

Even if their designs were 30 times better, it still wouldn't be cost-effective for all the car makers to change to a different type of engine, so it will probably never happen. Unfortunately.

Maybe you are right. I don't know.

Anyway, right or wrong, thanks so much for your comment.

I appreciate it.
