When I was at the PTO, a guy invented this propulsion system where a motor turned this vane and the vane whipped ball bearings at a belt. The belt was fixed to a vehicle frame, and so the vehicle would go! The vane was supposed to catch the ball after it hit the belt and reuse it. It would have been pollutionless cars and fast. He couldn't work out the "catch part." (it would violate thermo laws if he did).
But anyway he said" 20 years from now you'll all be driving these." See if that had proven true there'd be ball bearings- big-assed ones- flowing out the back of cars and you'd need to go fill up with them at "BB stations,"
Roads would be full of these used ones and it would be a real mess, and slippery and just really unpleasant to move through. Sort of like the PB when SS is posting lots.

Following on all of their success with the federal budget, I understand that Congressional Republicans are planning to amend the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
