NEW YORK, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Compelling new information about famed mystery invention "Ginger" -- also known as "IT" -- will be revealed in the next issue of [INSIDE] magazine, on select newsstands starting later this week and available for advance purchase at http://www.inside.com. [INSIDE] is the biweekly sibling publication to acclaimed entertainment and media business news service Inside.com. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010306/NYTU040 ) Investigative reporter and [INSIDE] contributor Adam Penenberg has unearthed revealing new information including trademark and patent filings, domain registrations, financial transactions, factory blueprints, and a hitherto unknown company linked to "Ginger" inventor Dean Kamen, among other evidence. His findings, featured as a print-only exclusive [INSIDE] cover story, include: * As many have guessed, "Ginger" has to do with a ground-breaking, scooter-type vehicle that can balance on two wheels. But the real revelation is the power behind it - hydrogen, which runs basically emission-free. "Ginger" represents the first generation of a new mode of transportation that will compete with and possibly replace automobiles. The ramifications of a "hydrogen economy" would be profound on everything from the environment to the energy business to global politics. * In subsequent iterations, Kamen intends to retrofit his scooters with his patented version of the Stirling engine, an almost perpetual motion machine that could be manufactured for any product that requires power. * Kamen has created a new company called ACROS, whose goal is to create a product line that features "motorized, self-propelled, wheeled personal mobility aids, namely wheel chairs, scooters, carts and chariots," and that company has begun building a factory in New Hampshire. Penenberg, co-author of Spooked: Espionage in Corporate America, used many of the techniques detailed in the book to cull the revealing new information without any cooperation from Kamen and his company. Since Inside.com first broke the exclusive news of Kamen's mystery invention in January, speculation about what it is has run wild, prompting massive coverage by national and international media, the creation of new Web sites and discussion groups, parodies, and a worldwide dialogue about the invention and the phenomenon that has ensued. According to Inside's original report, people who have seen "IT," including Apple's Steve Jobs, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and venture capitalist John Doerr, have variously described it as being more important than the PC or the Internet and have said that it will transform cities and the way people live. "When Inside.com first reported the existence of 'IT' as a publishing industry scoop, it sparked a real media frenzy," says [INSIDE] magazine editor-in-chief Richard Siklos. "But after the clamor that followed our original story, we just couldn't resist following through. This story now offers the most compelling argument to date for what 'IT' actually might be."
