IT??

FROM what I can gather, Dean Kamen has come up with some sort of personal transportation device. I personally believe that it will use a new technology, and will probably not require wheels. This is very possible, but unlikely, hard-to-do, and its hard to fit into a small space. There are many ways to accomplish this, but none of them work well. IF he has found a way to make it work, THEN everyone will want it. But we are talking about something men have only dreamed of, and have never been able to do.

As to when IT will come forth? I want to know when IT will work. Then, and only then, will IT be unveiled.
thankyou

If...then... statement
 
I remember those. I think your right about almost everything. What about "6 feet sitting?" Who wouldda thougt someone would invent a wheelchair that balanced and lifted handicapped persons to eye level with the rest of the world? That was a dream, was it not?

IT is a the sterling engine, and its first application will be in a personal scooter.

Either way, it's really building up the suspense.

Maybe you are correct, but maybe its mis-direction, the most powerful tactic to date. .

The High Priest agrees. You'd think Dean would keep it more secure than that.

David Kelly 21-07-2001 17:23

for all we know, IT could already be out. remember the people who saw IT said it was crazy that noone has invented it before.

EddieMcD 21-07-2001 19:14

W-O-R-M. It's The Worm!

Sorry. Got caught up in your avatar. Anyhow, if it's so crazy that no one thought of it before, then it can be almost anything. And theoretically, if it is like that, then it none of our speculations are true.

Carolyn Duncan 22-07-2001 22:56

Why is it that you now have the WORM avatar?

it was stolen from me

Carolyn Duncan 22-07-2001 23:09

That's wrong!
 
At least you have a better one now, David.

EddieMcD 23-07-2001 11:19

And one I'm 50% not likely to steal.

I'm sorry, but I like that worm avatar.

mike o'leary 23-07-2001 16:06

i doubt its out...remember, cities will be designed around it.
personally i think everyones way off, the sterling engines a mis-direction.
or maybe not totally
what if it was a subway system that ran of sterling engines? cities would be designed around that...

EddieMcD 23-07-2001 16:52

Or a power generator run by the engine. Cities can be built around it. Or Dean Kamen has finally discovered the nanite. Or it could be a photon replicator.

I think IT is a device that "floats" and how Dean Kamen did this was to have a strong electromagnet underneath the roads of the city. This way, all you have to do is turn on your magnet, and you set it up so that they have the same magnetic polls, so they push away each other. That would have to be built "into" a city. Or have a city be built around it. The only problem with this, is stopping, and steering. But you would definently be able to move pretty fast!
