    Hi,

    I posted a similar question to this over on the 'science' forum, and was wondering if anyone here could help.

    As part of a college project we have to design a personal commuter vehicle, but using new technology, or technology that may be used in the near future.

    So I'm looking for ideas regarding propulsion, engine, etc. What is the most eco friendly engine? Are there any new or exciting motors that run on wacky things like household waste?? ;) . Anything off the wall at all guys would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
