> hydro thing on that powers a generator
Sir or Madam: are you sane?
That would be Sir, to you, and I am in complete control of my faculties. Thanks for your concern.
This technology is already being used to power buildings and vehicles. The state of Ohio budgeted $250,000 a year or so ago to finance a company to build fueling stations as sites to educate the public on how the technology works. Its something that is going to happen in the future, it's just currently too expensive for the common folk, like me.
I just started doing some searching around on this last week, and joined a discussion board dedicated to researching the technology so I could get some info. The problem they are struggling with is increasing the efficiency. Stan Meyers claimed very little electrical input with large output. There was something he was doing to weaken the waters molecules, apparently, to reduce power consumption in the fracturing process. When he died, he took that secret with him, but there are alot of people working to find it. Additives to the water, magnetic resonance, or etc.
I find this very interesting and I do think a solution will be found.
What got me going, and caused me to post this thread, was the FACT that one of the researching firms have a model car (toy) about a foot long that has its own fuel station, that they are selling for $80, partly to help finance their project. The fuel station uses a solar cell to power itself, and then fills a bladder with fuel for the toy car. It just seems to me if they can do that for $80, then they can work out how to turn an alternator with a larger model, or several small units.
That is a completely different direction from all the research I have seen so far. Everybody seems to be trying to turn your cars wheels directly by the process, which requires alot of power on demand, 'right now' and is therefore harder to accomplish. If you just set up a hydro-electric hybrid, that constantly recharges itself (even while you are at work, or sleeping) until it gets to 100% then shuts itself off.... well thats got to be a lot easier to invent. You are just making a smaller amount of energy, but constantly.
Finally, even if the process doesn't save a single dime.. and breaks even, or even costs 'just a bit more' than using foreign gasoline, it WILL be worth it to get foreign oil out of our country.
Society just doesn't like to think new thoughts. They killed people in previous centuries because they thought the world was 'round.'
