Did I say it was cool? I honestly don't remember.
I remember thinking for sure it was going to be some sort of flying thing back before they would show us what it would be. I personally don't think it is as revolutionary as they were sayign it would be.
That said, his talk to the Sterling Engine that he is working on is pretty cool stuff.

Dean Kaman is working on the sterling engine? i read in discover magazine about another inventor working on the sterling engine. supposedly this other guy has perfected it and cut costs down to the point where after 2 years the engine pays for itself via saving on electric payments.

Kaman seems to not care about the Segway and is using its publicity to get the word out on his wheelchair that uses similar gyroscopes to balance on two wheels at times. He is also promoting his design of a Sterling engine - he has a working prototype of it and is in talks with a few large but poor countries - using the Sterling engine as a generator for electricity and it also outputs clean water. Two key things in say Ethiopia.
Of course he was saying that they could also use that to charge their Segway to get around and gather more food.

what water device? the other guy was talking about using the sterling engine to power the third world too because the start up cost isn't much and it pays for itself after a couple of years.
would kamans stirling engine give clean water because it uses water in its cylinders, boiling it and purifying it or something? i thought sterling engines used air pressure and not water.

Damn, I really can't spell. I got Kamen wrong, and I got Stirling wrong too.
To be honest, while I vaguely know how a Stirling engine works (can be used to heat or cool things as well) - but I'm not sure how Kamen is doing his - I just know that he was getting water from it and saying that it was purified from the sludge that they were putting in initially.
In the end, it is all marketing on his part - but I like it.

thats how i thought it'd work, he just uses the heat to boil the water. How is that ingenious? haven't people figured that out yet, that mirrors can be used to boil water? I could've sworn ive heard of companies trying to sell cheap, mathematically developed (to produce the most heat with the least area) mirrors to the third world.
