~ car theory movie |
A man sets out to prove Stan Meyer's theory of a water based car to be wrong, only to find out that his theory is correct and the technology is sound - with a few mistakes that need to be corrected in Stan Meyer's original writing, since he did not get every detail exactly correct but the idea in general was accurate.
The man is obsessed with theory and builds the car in theory, never testing it at certain segments. His plan is to start the car, the first time, after he builds it. He uses an existing engine and car body, of a classic car.
He has a guy build a loud exhaust for it, and build a special cam to make the car extremely high horse power and it will indeed stall at stop lights due to rough running of the cam. The man who builds the exhaust for his car warns him "this cam profile will make the engine stall and it will not be very easy to start". He is okay with this. He wants a rough running, loud car, that runs on water.
Scenes:
Scene: they are working on the car up until late in the morning and 4:20AM arrives. He explains to the exhaust and cam expert that 4:20AM is kind of like 4:20PM except 4:20 AM is intellectual hour, the moment you are still up working on an intellectual project and have a natural high from it.
Scene: the night when he gets it first started.. He starts the car up around 3:30AM the first time. It takes a while to start, because of the Cam and open exhaust. The starter motor chugs and chugs and he says "oh come on". Then he remembers back to what the exhaust expert said about it not starting easily because of the cam. Finally after chugging and chugging, it turns over. Then he heads over to the house of the guy who built the exhaust and cam, and drives the car in neutral to coast into his driveway from a distance (he lives on a hill) so he doesn't wake him up, and parks the car in his driveway after coasting into it in neutral. It's about 4:15AM now and he waits until exactly 4:20 (intellectual hour, similar to get high hour but for intellectuals up late at night), and starts the car up exactly at 4:20. It is so loud the the cup of water on the guy's night table (who is sleeping) starts shaking and the water vibrating and pulsing. He wakes up and wonders what the fuck is going on, possibly an earthquake, or bad thunderstorm.... as he is half asleep. Then he looks at the clock "4:20, WTF?" He goes out to his driveway and sure enough, it's the exhaust system he built, now no longer a theory, but in practice, at 4:20AM.
The neighbors call the cops, and he says "What are you going to do, arrest me for getting a car to run on water?". A cop comes and says they are violating the noise bylaws. He explains to the cop that he has been working on this car for a year, and it finally runs, on water. The cop says "Take it out to the country, but you better put a hood on it because it is going to rain soon, big thunderstorm coming". The cop has a bottle of water in his car and decides to follow them out to the country, tailing them.
The cop car makes the guys a bit nervous as they drive the car out to the country, as he never warned them he was escorting them out to the country. When they stop and have a look at the car and rev it, and look at how it is running under the hood, the cop says "you aren't in trouble or anything, I just followed you out here to call your bluff.. I have a bottle of water in my car, can I put it in the engine to see that it really does run on water and you are not shitting me?" They allow him to pour the water into the gas tank.
The thunderstorm starts, and they grab a cup in their car and collect rain water. They pour the rain water into the car fuel tank too.
