I'll think of a good title later

Nikkogen is a new start up company that claims to be able to produce a scalable power generating system that emits no emmissions, doesn't use carbon based fuel, is location independant, has low running costs & only requires a small space. It will also do your ironing & sort out the soft & hard centres in a box of chocolates.

Technical details on how all this will actually work are somewhat lacking & some people have picked up on this:

http://www.ministryoftruth.org.uk/2006/12/05/entropy-itll-get-you-every-time/ (an excellent post)

Like everyone else I'd love for Nikkogen's claims to turn out to be true but I really can't see it.

If only the soap operas on TV were this interesting.
