The Diaper Song
Electric Bonsai Band
from "Primal Urges"

There's a diaper in the sink
There's a diaper on the chair
There's a diaper in the freezer
We are never unprepared
Every corner, ever closet
Every cupboard in the place
Has a diaper waiting just in case

There's a diaper on the TV
There's a diaper underneathe
There's a diaper in my briefcase
Stuck between the briefs
There are diapers down the hallway
For as far as eyes can see
But Emma likes to pee on me
She will hold it in for hours
For the opportunity
Emma likes to pee on me

Diaper Diesel is number 2

Nitromethane!

See it SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

I'm waiting for a car that runs on happy thoughts.

Battery Power for sure or some kind of renewable low cost biodiesel.

I'm most excited about the car that runs on my own sense of self-satisfaction. Or the Chrysler Turbine car, which could run on tequila.

Seriously though, bring it all on, any car that runs on anything.

Shaq Diesel.

If I were to buy an Alternate Fueled Vehicle today I would pick CNG. Natural Gas is selling for 72 cents a gallon in my neck of the woods.

@Maymar: My Libido is also powered by tequila. Ladiez, watch out!!!

Biodiesel made from algae. It can net a positive energy gain since it requires no planting like soybeans.

I think it has massive potential, too bad there aren't any diesel passenger cars I can purchase in the US.

Personally, I take the train to work and a couple other places. Gas is fine for places the train doesn't go.

Twist my arm and I say Bio-diesel in a Grand Wagoneer would do me fine. Supposedly their were diesel Grand Wagoneers not that I have ever seen one.

Bong resin.

Idealism and dreams. I think the Prius runs on that.

Next to that, Mr. Fusion.

@Al Navarro: That tears it. Al for the win.

Sometimes there's just no competing against this guy.

1) LiIon recharged by fusion (or fission + natural gas + clean coal)
2) Fuck it, in car fusion reactors
3) > 100 octane ethanol in turbo engines
4) Soylent Green

@no_slushbox: SOYLENT GREEN IS HUUUUUUUMMMMMAAAAAANNNNN!!!

Diaper diesel seems like a great idea to me, I already have a raw material production going on at home.

Diesel six in a Crown Vic, high mileage, low co2 emission, full size highway cruiser.

Mr. Fusion [cgi.ebay.com]

I'm hedging the Pixie Dust markets as we speak.

kittens.

@teargas: Nice one. I haven't heard "Shaq diesel" in forever.

A plug-in electric car with backup bio-diesel generator for long hauls.

I want to put solar panels on the roof of my house, bank it in batteries, and plug the car in at night to recharge.

90-95% of my driving is local short commutes, so I would rarely use the backup generator to recharge the batteries (like the Chevy Volt).

I'm excited about gasoline and diesel.
And these can be alternative fuels is they are created by the wonderful, and perhaps funderful, but also smelly process of Thermal Depolymerization, which uses heat and pressure to simulate what decaying organic matter undergoes over a few million years buried underground. It's a bit energy intensive (that's what nuclear, solar and wind are for), but not much more than stupid corn ethanol (or clean electrolysis hydrogen), it produces relatively clean fuel, and the best part, is that we can use waste products to create it. From crap to turkey guts to used tires, anything with carbons and hydrogens turns into oil.
And just like regular petrol-fuels, it can be augmented with alcohol (preferably cellulosic ethanol from waste, not energy crops) or agri-oils or whatever makes actual energy and environment sense.

Dollars

Cheap, and getting cheaper by the minute.

Failing that, i'd have it run on stupidity. It's not like the world is gonna run out of that any time soon.

Energon Cubes

Pardon my retardo grammar in that first sentense...Maybe I should have my mom proofread my posts first.

A mix. Bio-fuels (especially from waste mass) for long distance vehicles and heavy trucks, but plug-in electric for commuter vehicles. That way upgrades to new fuel technologies only has to happen at the generating plants, instead of in every garage in the country.

Not that I think any of this will happen any time soon. At one point, I seriously looked into converting my fiberglass buggy to electric (easy to do with a VW transaxle), but the component cost is way too high -- about nine G's for everything needed to do a 96V conversion. Might as well be putting an Alpine motor in an R5.

wood.
and if that doesn't work, coal.

nuclear fisson is just o to messy.

@Fitty7lax: You're damn straight it is. At least in Japan, depending how common of a last name it is, people could have cars that truly are "Powered by Honda."

Could we make cars that are powered by thousands upon thousands of explosions that occur inside the car itself, blowing up again and again with such force and repetition that all we can hear is a steady thrum, rocketed forward at a speed once thought to be deadly to man, even covering hundreds of miles in days, or even hours without hardly even breaking a sweat? Oh wait, we did that already.

Biodiesel and a portion of fries, please.

If any of the big three can research a car powered by disappointment, they're golden.

@grzydj: Positive energy gain? I'm no scientist (I'm not just saying that), but isn't that impossible? Maybe I just don't understand the term.

Dilithium crystals.

The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor

Whatever, i don't care what it is, just get the rest of the world using it so that I can have the dino juice for myself. As soon as you all jump to bionic-hydro-diesel the price of 97 Octane will fall and I will rocket myself around the world with an ICE strapped to my ass.

Most definitely Mr. Fusion.

Unobtanium followed by adamantium.

Actually, I'm hedging my bets on anything in a diesel format. My next car, hopefully a Jeep (hint, hint already Chrysler) will be a diesel. There's more potential for bio what with diapers, algae, corn, soy, WVO, rapeseed, cottonseed oil,.... as sources. Then there's GTL and BTL based diesels. Seems heaps more future in diesel than the gubment boondoggle that is ethanol.

And if I can get my a hybrid diesel, more the better.

We could kill two birds with one stone and develop a car that runs on obesity.

@Synthaxx: FTW!

@GSPALDIN: Pffft. The beryllium sphere totally kicks the ass the dilithium crystal.

@Sidzilla: Seems you can stick anything in a diesel. Hook up a liposuction pump to car seats and we're off. McDonald's will *own* the world economy.

Have you ever noticed how light, strong, and efficient meth addicts are? Isn't it time we harnessed their engery and resourcefulness?

Blind people. For my hybrid.

Well, oil isn't actually over $100. Its hovering around $97, and although we're unlikely to see sub $60 oil every again, its quite possible that prices will easy ten or fifteen dollars over the next six months. Look much further beyond that, however, and you start to see the effects of increasing demand and stagnant (and eventually decreasing) supply. Peak Oil is near, and we best enjoy our cheap gas while we can.
Oh, and to answer the QOTD, I believe electric cars are the most viable/scalable option.

Think big, folks!

A buttered bread slice strapped to the back of a falling cat.

The trick is getting the revs up...no torque down low, just abrasions...

Oh, an simulating the falling sensation for the cat.

Baring that cla...Barring that concept, biodiesel from french people.

a car powered by my hate of Inland Empire drivers

I'm going to develop a Camry that runs on Fammable Squirrels.
