Sometimes the new technologies have a hard time staying ahead of improvements in existing technologies. This could be an example.

What happened to ceramic engines - thought the idea was they could run hotter and needed no oil (and are lighter)?

Interesting you would mention that, Jolly. I just recently encountered a pumping plant that looked like something out of the 20s-30s as near as I could tell peering through the fence at the corrugated iron engine house. It was running with that odd beat of an engine on well-head gas and blowing an occasional smoke ring from the exhaust pipe in the yard.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I also thought the 6 stroke engine, that injects water and combusts steam on the 5th and 6th, was brilliant. Someone had posted that article here a while back.
The dogma lives loudly within me.
