Frank Flame - Hydrogen gas - sea water + RF energy - electrical power - generator - diesel That is an enormously complicated way to burn diesel. |

Frank Flame - Hydrogen gas - sea water + RF energy - electrical power - generator - diesel That is an enormously complicated way to burn diesel. I did work similar to this in grad school. Basically, it uses electricity to produce hydrogen but I am not sure it is any more efficient than the normal electrolysis. The RF produces a high e field producing discharges in the water surface thus making hydrogen. We tried it to break up pollutants but the RF does not go very far into the water so is sorta innefficient. What he REALLY needs is a pulsed electrical discharge in the water because that produces a volumetric effect rather than a surface effect. This requires either a rotating spark gap or some fancy solid state HV, high current switches. I'd say, "Not much new here". |

Yeah, that was my question... also, how much power does it take to generate the RF? Combustion of hydrogen is powerful but then hydrogen is also a tricky fuel to handle... hence the interest in developing "fuel cells" which essentially allow it to react at lower temps & pressures, producing energy in usable form without the Hindenburg- style eruption. .... The RF produces a high e field producing discharges in the water surface thus making hydrogen. We tried it to break up pollutants but the RF does not go very far into the water so is sorta innefficient. How about using an atomized mist into an RF chamber? What he REALLY needs is a pulsed electrical discharge in the water because that produces a volumetric effect rather than a surface effect. This requires either a rotating spark gap or some fancy solid state HV, high current switches. I'd say, "Not much new here". Electric dissociation of hydrogen from water has been done since the 1700s. Certainly "nothing new"!! Regards Doug King |

without the Hindenburg-style eruption.
The dirigible burned so spectacularly not because of hydrogen, but because of the HIGHLY flammable paint they put on the FABRIC covering. |

I'm not gonna be real impressed until he uses that hydrogen to create the electricity consumed in creating the RF field. THEN I'll be impressed! DT |

: Burn salt water instead . . . http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1 Wilbur Hubbard People still buy diesel fuel?? How silly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOFbsaNeZps Here is the video from BBC showing my current veggie oil fuel mix in my totally unmodified 1973 Mercedes 220D and 1983 Mercedes 300TD Turbodiesel wagon. Both cars have been running on this mix for some time, now, and have been getting better mileage on used veggie oil than on $2.75/gallon dino oil. It's THAT simple.....except the problem of getting it down the docks! Larry -- Search youtube for "Depleted Uranium" The ultimate dirty bomb...... |
