Not one word about the father of all cantennas? Where are the nerds of 802.11b?

1979 Montgomery Wards 10 Horsepower Riding Mower, model HM4010, mower deck height adjuster.
It vibrated off when the cir-clip broke off the end. The height had to adjusted with a screw driver after the adjuster fell off, or perhaps they ordered a replacement. From the condition of the shaft this occurred 15-17 years ago.
If the original scene hadn't been compromised we could have told you how more precisely what happened.

jesus fucking christ you guys are a bunch of sanctimonious assholes. the deal here is a hybrid system could become 20% more efficient, not that the dude's patent provides and end-all-be-all solution to global warming - it's an incremental step! go spew your 'let's all kill ourselves and save the planet for the worthy whales' crap for the other chest-beating bullshit chartreuse-green sites - where all the contributors flunked physics, just like you.
We don't need that kinda nonsensical hysteria here - this is the gadgets site for pete's sake! go be fuckwads elsewhere!

Classic Sterling, great story. One tiny nit, the abrupt transitions needed some type of delineation to signify a break in the narrative.

This is pseudo-science of the worst order. Global warming is being accelerated by the amount of carbon dioxide gas in our atmosphere, and carbon sequestration is a popular short-hand phrase for carbon dioxide sequestration. Burying charcoal in surface soil does not remove CO2 from our environment, CO2 is released when charcoal is made.

Basic high school physics - the principal products of combustion are CO2 and water vapor. There is no free lunch in physics, you don't get to have your cake and eat it too.

Woodgas is very interesting technology, but it is definitely a niche item. Brazil is already way ahead of the rest of the world with ethanol usage, which does not release fossilized CO2 that has already been sequestrated.
