since, seems like a lot more has become, looks like something to keep an eye on. not sure why i think this but i believe this type or something similar was used in ww2 but not really sure why or where i got thay from.

Yes it was used in WW2 but it was on a larger scale. This is actually being scaled down to go in consumer cars. I see it being awesome for performance and crazy for MPG's. Its almost a win win.
