knock, knock?

I had a gallon plastic jug of distilled water, with the water level about
up to the bottom edge of the label. I slid the bottle forward on the kitchen
counter, and I was surprised when it then scooted forward some more. The
harder I pushed it, the further it then scooted.
I guess the water overcame its inertia, and kicked the bottle forward a
second time.
I wonder if this could be adapted to automobiles to save gasoline? Maybe
some kind of water wheel? Maybe some kind of Russian Doll chamber containing
bottles within bottles, each with a heavier substance inside?

Brilliant, now you are a perfect example of why people actually have to
study science and physics before becoming an engineer.

To answer your question, no. It is a stupid idea. If you don't believe
me, fill your car with water and see how far you can push it, and how far it
travels after it "initially stops". Be certain to have someone film it with
a video camera, so it can be shown on the 'Stupidest Video's' tv show, ir
post it on UTube. The idiots that watch utube will think you are a genius.

So, what you're saying is: you're waiting on your patent application to
be approved, but now you're running scared?
