You guys need to have patience. The website says that Electrokinesis 'takes a couple of weeks to get down'. Clearly you need to keep trying.

Oh. Shit. I'll get right on that, then.
Where are my fucking diodes?

Attached to your testicles, just like they were earlier.

I KNEW there was a reason you wanted to stick diodes on my testacles as well.
It just...Wasn't the way I thought it was going to go. *Cough* Electrokinesis you say?

Actually, ten percent would be pretty darn good.
As I remember it, gasoline-powered cars are only point-one percent effective. Plus, I doubt the numbers we have provided.
Gas engines are -far- more efficient than that nowadays.
A stock motor, say, a Chevy Malibu, is about 94% mechanically efficient, and about 26% thermally efficient.
Therefore, only about 20% of the energy in fuel burned is effective.
Race engines are much closer to 100% mechanically efficient, and closer to about 40% thermally efficient.
And no, I don't believe telekinesis is possible.

We are beyond senses, now. We use technology to tell us how things are.
Speaking of...
Starting to look familiar?
Give it a couple years... people will want texting, they'll install a glass piece over an eye in order to read messages. People will want a more secure attachment to their ear; they'll install covers for that so it'll remain on the go. Police will want information at a glance on license plates or people themselves; they'll add a scan feature.
Pretty soon we've got something equivalent to... what now?
Exactly.

Rofl. That'll be the day Goten, That'll be the day.
And for the record, I'll be standing in line waiting to get one.

That's right, and just wait until they create a ceramic engine! Then we'll have 90% heat effciency!

At the expense of watching the block splinter and punch through your hood. XD

Psh, feck that. We have decent nanotechnology now and many more new ceramics. Just think of an engine that doesn't need to be cooled and is capable of operating at 3000 degrees centigrade. Come on, you know you want eeeet.

I'd love it.
But if it was possible, we'd have it already.

Toyota created a ceramic engine in the 80's, it's possible but they need to develop a mass production model before they'll be able to sell it. It probably costs a few hundred thousand dollars to make one still- but maybe 10 or 20 more years and it shall be here.

I believe telekinesis is possible; humans already affect things merely by observing them in quantum experiments. Even though the shift is on a subatomic level, observation changes the results of an experiment, suggesting that the human presence/mind/whathave you has an impact, if only slightly.
Possible? Yes. Likely to happen soon? No.
Telekinesis is real - Bra - 12-29-2006
Yeah, but that Toyota engine produced entirely pitiable horsepower.
Try building a 500 horsepower machine on ceramics. It's not going to happen.

Shut up stupid ugly face.

Eitehr way, I stand by my metaphor.
