Heres another,mabe not clean energy but clean air....any smokers here?

Rauchless Inc., a Nashville-based company, will soon test-market its smokeless cigarette-like device in Europe, and hopes to enter the U.S. market before 2009.
How it Works:
The smokeless device has a built-in sensor that distinguishes whether the smoker sucks on the filter or not. The pressure drop caused by the smoker triggers the intensive heating up of a coil to such a temperature that the sucked in air reaches a temperature high enough to evaporate the nicotine and aroma when it reaches the filter.

The Hi-Tech cigarette has a miniature MPU computer chip on board that designates the length and temperature of each consecutive puff. It is impossible to reach the essential heat with conventional means and the battery used has to be very light small enough to fit inside the size of a cigarette.

The Rauchless™ R&D team has achieved its goal, though, and is now fine-tuning the electronic elements to facilitate economic mass production.
