Very interesting story at Climate Biz that was forwarded to me by stephen87.

Lasers? In my truck? I AM COMPLETE.

 

I wonder if it will be possible to retrofit older vehicles... It certainly would be cool... "Back to the Future"...

 

Your confusing laser technology with Cuisinart food processor's.

 

Bye bye NGK

 

very neat article

 

Sweet, an F150 with a flux capacitor is in my future.

 

Hmm... wonder how much a "laserplug" job will cost now? Hope they don't make them two-piece

 

if olny you could use them to shoot the stupid people on the freeways!

 

What about a fiber-optic distributor?? lol

 

finally my truck can have frickken lasers

 

Haha - No kidding!

Interesting article though!

 

I'll bet that is expensive to replace when it goes out! Although, really, you would think that it wouldn't ever go out.

 

I wonder if Ford will only use 4 threads to hold the lasers in and then deny any issues when the lasers are launched out of the heads. Then take 7 years to overcorrect the problem so the lasers then can't be removed without following a 3 page TSB while having 5 lucky rabbits feet in your back pocket.

It does sound like a cool idea though.

 

I wonder what the added cost of the "LASER" will be?
