I've not heard of the pogue, the one I've heard of t was the fisher carb.
The pogue uses a heat exchanger to vaporize the gas, and can therefore
achieve very lean but evenly distributed fuel mixtures. 200 MPG is
ridiculous, because at those ratios the mixture is below the L.E.L
(lower explosive limit). But fuel mileage can be very high when ratios
are set in the combustible range. The problem is the same as every other
engine designer runs into: Lean mixtures burn hot, and quickly destroy
the engine.

Look, it was *dirty. I waited until they couldn't see me!
I am proud to announce that Mark K. Bilbo is the winner of the
first annual LintŪ Keep it Clean Award.
Congratulations Mark for your outstanding effort.
"I want to thank the makers of 409..."
DAMN IT, MARK, BE CAREFUL.
Hopefully people will think you used it to clean with but if they
suspect that a gallon will get you to Mars and back, our oil
industry operations will crash.
Oh, don't worry. Look how we handled the 200 mile per gallon
carburetor. Nobody believes it exists...
The pogue carburetor? The question isn't whether it exists. It's
whether it WORKS.
You mean yours doesn't?
Doesn't work or doesn't exist? Well, what would happen if I installed
it on my Prius?
No, no, no, no, no!
The *last time we put one on a hybrid it... well... it finally ran out
of gas in the Jurassic...
(You know what it took to cover up THAT archaeological find????)
Of course. I'm the one who found it. Shhh!!
Whatever you do, don't let anyone anywhere *near your garage!
I fooled everybody. I don't have a garage!
Ooo. You're *good...

Both probes were originally only supposed to last for 90 days or so
right?
From:
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/
"After the airbag-protected landing craft settle onto the surface and
open, the rovers will roll out to take panoramic images. These will
give scientists the information they need to select promising
geological targets that will tell part of the story of water in Mars'
past. Then, the rovers will drive to those locations to perform
on-site scientific investigations over the course of their 90-day
mission."
They're coming up on a whole year next month, so I'd say our
EAC dollars were well spent.

You know, back when they said the little rovers would run until the
solar panels got covered with dust, my first thought was: "Millions of
dollars and nobody though to put windshield wipers or a 'california
duster' on the damn things?"
I mean, do the engineers that designed the rovers abandon their cars
when the windows get so dirty that they can no longer see through
them?

Well, they wouldn't have to run them constantly, once a month maybe.
Certainly, they could trade a little power to increase the efficiency
of the cells for another month. I mean, they could come up with
*something* huh? They're the smart ones.The idea that a few hundred
million dollars worth of hardware stops working because it gets dusty
just grates on my nerves a bit.

I thought it would have been cool if the rovers had fleas. Tiny
rovers that roam around on the solar panels, collecting dust.

Actually, weight was the problem, you can only add so much to these devices.
and they were designed with a limited life. As it is, the Mars rovers are
no running long past their designed life span. Anything we are getting now
is extra.

IIRC, it is all 'gravy' since;
1) There's no guarantee of a safe landing.
2) There's no guarantee of things working right and deploying.
3) The expected life of the units was 90 days.
4) There was no guarantee of operationality of all the systems.
