Forget about expensive diesel fuel

Edgar,
If I remember my High School history going back a few centuries, English
Common Law gave you the "right" to keep and bear arms. Politicians
relatively recently took that right away from you.
A common misconception is that our Constitution grants us rights, but it
was written in a vain effort to help protect the rights we already had -
quite a lot of which was adopted from Common Law. And like your
politicians, all of our's will do whatever it takes to take away our
rights as evidenced by the very large number of attempts starting from
the time the Constitution was ratified and since. But since we tend to
be more stubborn than you it will take them only slightly longer.
Don't know if you have the same problem over there, but here we have a
gazillion judges, including members of the Supreme Court, that believe
the function of the court is to cicumvent the lawmakers (who are
criminal enough) by legislating from the bench to take our rights away.

I've forgotten most of this stuff (it was in the mid-80s). Basically,
the ions cannot respond to the RF but the very light electrons can so
it is the eelctrons in the water doing the work and being heated. A
mist might work but I remember that the discharge was very close to
the electrodes and fell off rapidly as you got away from them. This
guy probably has electrodes very close together.


That makes sense, since the field strength drops off so fast as a
function of distance. How about emitting RF thru a screen or flat
plane emitter; maybe there is some promise a modulated fuel cell with
water mist or vapor pushed thru a carefully controlled RF chamber,
then re-converted almost immediately? If there is a net energy gain in
the reaction, then it should be much better than any hydrogen fuel
cell I've heard of.... Get it worked out, I'll draft a letter to the
BP board, I'm a stockholder.... you can split the royalties with me.

People still buy diesel fuel?? How silly:

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!

Are you saying that the hydrogen lift bags of the Hindenburg did not
erupt spectacularly into flame?

They did but the fabric was "doped" (nitrocellulose + aluminium powder) and
that was a very significant contribution

I don't think this is what he is doing. If that was the case it
wouldn't need to be salt water. Distilled fresh water would be
preferred. They also said that it burns at 300 degrees F. Hydrogen
burns at less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. He isn't just separating
out oxygen and hydrogen and burning the hydrogen. Something else is
going on here.


Check your figures

Hydrogen burns way hotter than body temperature

Don't be so pessimistic. Producing RF takes very little energy. The system
could be the salvation of mankind. It could be an infinite supply of
almost free energy. If enough hydrogen is produced it can be burned to
produce plenty enough electricity to produce the RF. All it would take is
just a little surplus hydrogen energy and you could have extra
electricity. The perpetual motion machine we all fantasize about.

What simplistic bull****! Getting more energy out than goes in?? This sums
up Wilma's level of understanding of the world. Don't bother to read any
further.

We'll have none of that here. In this group, we obey the laws of
thermodynamics!

Oh they burned alright, but being wrapped in a highly flammable material
made the fire all that much worse. The disaster may well have been avoided
entirely had they not put that on the covering.

Hydrogen dissipates quite rapidly. That and the amount needed for most
vehicle applications presents nowhere near the risks of an airship with
flammable paint.

You never heard of nuclear fusion? That's more energy out than in. It's
not so far-fetched to believe if it can be done at an atomic level then
why not at a molecular level.

Its clear why you were a English major.
