This breaking alternative news has to do with a man that goes by the name of "ElManlinos" on YouTube. He has 5 videos in particular in which he shows engines running off of a new technology called "GEET", which is all over youtube also.
Strangely enough "ElManlinos" seems to have stumbled upon a process by which engines run on vapors of gasoline or alcohol instead of off of the liquid form of gasoline or alcohol.
I think there is something to this mans discoveries.
I agree.

In 1824, French physicist Nicholas Carnot (1796–1832) published a book that set out the principles of an internal-combustion engine that would use an inflammable mixture of gas vapor and air.
The scoop on Pantone's engine:
1. Nothing special about the engine itself. A plain ol' lawnmower engine would work fine.
2. Principle: Run the engine on fumes rather than injecting liquid gasoline. Only the fumes ignite anyway. The evaporation of liquid in a normal engine merely helps keep valves from overheating, but is wasteful. So that basic premise is solid. The approach does in fact increase mileage.
3. Preheating the fuel vapors with exhaust heat helps increase the tendency to combust. No problem.
> 4. The jar containing the gasoline where the fumes are drawn off can contain mayonnaise or anything else, matters not. Those materials are non-volatile and stay in the jar. The only purpose is to spoof people into thinking that they are being consumed.
5. All the talk about magnetic effects and other wild extraneous claims are to mask the simplicity. Such claims must be obscure enough that people not understand them, or the promoter would reduce himself to pedestrian levels and sacrifice people's presumption that they need him in any way to produce the same effect themselves.
I see how this heating might be considered wasteful in a steam engine where all the heat lost is not available to heat the water into steam. However a gasoline engine doesn't work that way, and in fact you don't want the fuel to combust too quickly. You might get better efficiency compared to a cold engine but once the engine is warmed up, most engines are trying to divert excess heat to the cooling system anyway so using a little of that excess heat to evaporate the fuel isn't really any more wasteful than sending the excess heat to the cooling system, you've got to get rid of the heat one way or another to keep the engine from overheating. And the pure vapor might actually create other problems if it ignites too quickly:

When the air/fuel mixture burns too quickly, it spends its energy too soon and creates too much pressure too quickly. This can cause irreparable damage to the engine. The chemically ideal ratio of air to fuel is 14,7 parts air to 1 part fuel (14,7:1) and is referred to as the stoichiometric condition. However, the air/fuel mixture requirements of the internal combustion engine are influenced by RPM, engine load and temperature. Heat is required for fuel vaporization. Therefore, in cold start conditions, a richer mixture is required and at full throttle, or wide-open-throttle (WOT), a leaner mixture is required. This is why fuel injection has a major advantage over the carburetor; it can provide the correct air/fuel mixture under varying conditions.

I can see where this man headed. He has discovered something that needs to be improved on. The GEET process is not up to par, and neither is this mans method, but he seems to be much farther along in discovering a great discovery.
We all know that gases are more explosive than liquids, yet we inject liquids directly into engines instead of the gases themselves which have more explosive power to power engines.
This is the Papp Noble Gas Plasma Engine that runs on the five Noble Gases. No intake, no exhaust, developing tremendous torque and would run for approximately 7000 hours continously before refueling. Joe passed away in 1989, taking the Gas Formula with him.
Dr Murray Bell, of the University of Plymouth’s department of mechanical and marine engineering, said he would consider trying to build a model of the Pogue carburetor. Engineers who have tried in the past to build a carburetor using Pogue’s theories have found the results less than satisfactory. Charles Friend, of Canada’s National Research Council, told Marketplace, a consumer affairs programme: "You can get fantastic mileage if you’re prepared to de-rate the vehicle to a point where, for example, it might take you ten minutes to accelerate from 0 to 30 miles an hour."
