I believe this is what he is trying to do, why else would you spend all your time and money building a system that is known to be inefficient?

I can see Nissan not making a big noise about a system that obviously has it's share of detractors. If I were Nissan, I would support the research (why not, no real cost to them) and wait to exploit the results if proven viable. Either way they win by not having to do the research themselves and piggybacking on someone elses success if it works. If it fails, no harm done to them or their reputation.

I agree they are different technologies, just that they seem to generate the same amount of skeptics and disbelievers etc. I remember when they started the project, it was in no way viable. Now they are approaching a viable technology though ongoing research and development.
I am not surprised by all the negative comments, but even so, I am encouraged by the discussion it is creating!
