Micro World Motors

A scientist in southern California was attempting to extract the salt from salt water in order to solve the world's growing need for potable water. In his many different methods, all successful, his main goal was to discover a way to do it using the least amount of energy. A surprising event occurred when experimenting with micro-waves. His thought was, the vibration of micro-waves would literally "shake" the salt from the water molecules. Instead, the vibration caused the sodium molecules to create a massive amount of friction. Basically, salt water caught on fire.

The idea becomes incredibly popular and the Government funds a massive expedition into creating an engine that would run on salt water. By 2013, the first generation of Salt-Water Engines were put into vehicles. This technology revolutionizes the energy industry. The man who discovered the process and had a significant hand in creating the engine forms the company, Micro World Motors (MWM). MWM develops engines for all types of vehicles. With the advancing shorelines across the southeastern U.S., as well as the entire west coast, the company becomes a conglomerate super power virtually overnight; General Motors folds in with the company and there are no competitors left in the field of Transportation on American soil.
