...respecting rider would let a battery do all the work? But fuel-cell technology, which uses pollution-free hydrogen gas to generate an electric current, could ignite electric-bike sales. The first prototype, from Italian bikemaker Aprilia, stores compressed hydrogen in a 2-liter metal canister housed in the frame. With a top speed of 20 m.p.h., the bike won't win the Tour de France. But it weighs 20% less than regular electrics and travels twice as far, about 43 miles, before it needs more gas. Now that's cool...
...Navy combat pilot, Moshier has been working on his creation, at least in his mind, since he was a teenager in the 1960s, although officially his company, Millennium Jets, has been at it only six years. The look of his machine is pure sci-fi: an 8-ft. metal frame supports two gas-engine-powered fans, each 38 in. in diameter, that jut like oversize ears above the frame.

The audience is left with a striking opening montage...
...reinforce this important theme of inaccessibility, of the utter uniqueness and unnaturalness of the world he films, Weber employs all kinds of unsubtle cinematic devices. Within the frame of his movie camera are more photographs, more cameras, flipping pages full of mementos. Interview subjects direct their comments not to the camera, but to third or fourth parties on screen, whom Weber has positioned as the interrogator, the intermediary. Everything is two-or-threefold detached...
