...One of France's top 3 engineering schools, the Ecole de Mines, has just (summer 03) published a technical report showing the MDI technology (while not, yet, having its full range today) is in fact viable and has already substantial range (miles per charge).

Well, this is better than the years of "We'll have it next year" that MDI has been doing. It's not very much better though.
For instance, it's not an independent review of their car as MDI contracted them to do it. It's not a study of the performance of the car or even the engine as these were apparently not available. It's a theoretical study based on only one chamber of one prototype engine and that one didn't perform up to estimates.
It raises the same questions that MDI has always never answered. Why didn't they supply a car, or at least a complete engine? Is it possible that it doesn't exist? Is it possible that the real car and/or engine, if they exist, don't work the way the theories and simulations claim they do?
I.e. Many perpetual energy engines have been designed and they all perform perfectly 'in theory' and 'in simulations' and the real devices 'almost' work and only need a little improvement. They, of course, are impossible and can never work as claimed but this doesn't stop people from publishing lots of fancy looking reports and selling a lot of worthless investments.
