I wonder if this actually works?

No. It would violate the first law of thermodynamics, which basically says that you can't end up with more energy than you started with. Water contains very little energy, so if water were to create motion then we would have more than we started with.

Petrol, on the other hand, contains lots of energy. When we burn it we end up with water and carbon dioxide, both of which have little energy. So the energy of the petrol has to go somewhere - and it ends up as work and heat.

jewellers rouge. mix into a paste and sharpen a piece of dowel. soak the dowel in water for a few mins and rub the scratch in the direction of the scratch.
then when it's out polish it the mop. should work with the stuff you have. the stik is the key.

You know when you buy something to fix a problem but don't think it will work? But U think to yourself its only a tenner its worth a try!
Well just used a car windscreen scratch removal kit, came with a bottle of compound, a drill polishing head, various sponges and cloths! You basically polish out the scratch wet mop style!

So did it:

a) get rid of every scratch, after half and hour of work, quite frankly a bloody miracle

B) do bugger all, was a waist of money

C) make the windscreen many times worse

Is it as simple (and daft) as the distance that that vehicle has travelled.

Got it, top figure is number of beers you've had since starting hovercrafting and bottom figure is number you've had since first post.

It's in miles but your kilometers!
Well spotted Steve it is indeed an import :) I've changed the onboard GPS to km but I don't have what's needed to change the rest so I've had to become bilingual :) :)
