a while back I got the notion that molded plastic vane-type stirling engines (with flexible vanes) could be built into the wheels of cars and replaced/recycled after 10,000 miles or whenever their performance begins to suffer.

but then i remembered that i'm not in charge of jack squat and even if i had the cure for cancer written on a napkin i wouldn't have a clue how to start a business making it.
