    I wonder what a homeopathic car would be like, if you dilute the petrol with water you’d theoretically get more power. A racing homeopathic car would run on pure shaken water with only a tiny amount of petrol in it, think of the savings. The oil could be replaced by water, perhaps even the brake fluid, the coolant in the radiator, the transmission fluid. The beauty of it would be that there is no pollution if there is a spill. The biggest drawback would be getting it all to work, you would really, really, have to believe.
