We were talking about inventing and on e teacher said she wanted to
invent a tiny outboard motor that was not internal combustion for use
by kayakers, AHA, that is THE application for my H2O2 powered micro-
turbine idea.


For $300 you can buy an electric kayak motor with a range of almost 25
miles.


What in hell does that have to do with an H2O2 micro turbine, you
friggin idiot?
