The chinese and indians have such a high demand for fuel they would use a technology like this in a second, if it existed. So it doesnt.

How dogmatic can you be...that Paul, is a dangerous way to be.
It's not that they kept the technology secret...that they couldn't do. The petrochemical companies, with the help of the politicians they have in their hip pockets, basically tied up the patents and such for the engines and never bothered to make them. It's quite easy to acquire an invention/patent and then lock it away in a bank vault or company safe.
I'll give you an example. A friend of my father's, Arthur Glenn, designed a new type of carburetor (back in the 60's) that allowed him to travel from Sydney to Wollongong and back, on about a third of a cup of fuel (petrol) in a 3 ton Dodge truck. Know what happened to that??....BP bought the patent off of him, promising to look into putting it into production. Instead, they locked the patent and the plans away in their offices in the UK and that was the last anyone ever heard of the design.
Anyway....Genapax. Sounds more like a pharmaceutical company than an engineering/manufacturing firm
