Shockwave-Generating Wave Discs Could Replace Internal Combustion Engines
Wave Disc Auto Rambler Michigan researchers have built a prototype of a new auto motor that does away with pistons, crankshafts and valves, replacing the old internal combustion engine with a disc-shaped shock wave generator . It could slash the weight of hybrid cars and reduce auto emissions by 90 percent.

At a recent talk at MIT , chief research and strategy officer Craig Mundie said he sees the technology as an innovation that "will get people out of treating a computer as a tool" and into treating the device as a natural extension of how they interact with the world around them. Microsoft plans to introduce consumers to the change through its gaming products, but Mundie outlined a vision that would eventually have people shopping and searching in 3-D as well.WCF Data Services
