I'm a pig, I'm A dog so exuse me if I drool.
I thought you guys maybe interested in engines of all kinds. Even the far out!
Read a neat article on "The Papp Engine" online.
It's an engine powered by explosive reactions teased out of inert gases.
and here's a link of someone who tried to build one of their own. Warning:: Video is of Very Poor Quality, Extremely Long, and Questionable Credibility, especially after his discussion on way he 'purifies the noble gases'. Psuedo-Science Meter off the scale.
It's fun to read about this sorta stuff.

Josef, a draftsman and ex-pilot, emigrated from Hungary to Canada in 1957 where he lived until his death in April 1989, There is solid evidence that Josef built an engine of over 100 Horsepower (75 kilowatts) that was "fuelled" by a mixture of inert (or "noble") gases. With no exhause or cooling system, it had huge torque even at low rpm (776 foot-pounds at only 726 rpm in one certified test). Dozens of engineers, scientist, investors and a Federal judge with an engineering background saw the engine working in closed rooms for hours. This would not have been possible if the engine had been using fossil fuel. There was absolutely no exhaust and no visible provision for any exhaust. The engine ran cool at about 60*C (140*F) on its surface, as witnessed by several reliable observers. All these people became convinced of the engine's performance. They all failed to discover a hoax. Ongoing research in the United States (Totally independant of Papp) has proved conclusively that inert gases, electrically triggered in various ways, can indeed exploded with the fantastic violence and energy realse, melting metal parts and pushing pistons with large pressure pulses. Some of the people performing this work, or who have evaluated it, are experienced plasma physicists. Contemporary laboratory work has establisted that inert gases can be made to explode.
In a demonstration on 27th October 1968 in the Californian desert, Cecil Baumgartnerm representing the top management of the TRW aerospace corporation and others witnessed the detonation of the engine cylinders. In full public view, just a few cubic centimetres of the inert gas mixture was injected into the cylinder using a hypodermic needle. When the gas was electronically triggered, the thick steel walls of the cylinder were burst open in a dramatic way. William White, Edmund Karig and James Green, observers from the Naval Underseas Warfare Laboratory had earlier sealed the chamber so that Papp or others could not insert explosives as part of a hoax. In 1983, an independent certification test was carried out on one of the Papp engines. Joseph Papp was issued three United States Patents for his processes and Engines.
