"DeSoto Solar is currently developing an engine whose only moving parts

on sunshine only. It's not intended to compete with the Lotus OMNIVORE,
but current indications are that a typical engine service life can be
measured in centuries."

Only the first link worked and none of the videos.

(It just now worked fine for me, and I've been playing games with
Logitech's Mouseware and my DSL modem for a couple days now.)
