Increased Gas Mileage I guarantee a vast reduction in your fuel consumption ( from tests and user reports we have seen an average of 15 - 28%)with the best results being in the 35% to 40% range.

More Horsepower The hydrogen cleans up the carbon build-up in your engine, allowing it to run smoother and more efficiently thereby giving you more horsepower with the same fuel. This equals better gas mileage and less emissions.

Less green-house gasses Supplemental Oxy-Hydrogen reduces the amount of harmful gases that your car releases in the atmosphere (making it environmentally friendly).

The idea of using vegetable oil for fuel has been around as long as the diesel engine. Rudolph Diesel, the inventor of the engine that bears his name, experimented with fuels ranging from powdered coal to peanut oil. In the early 20th century, however, diesel engines were adapted to burn petroleum distillate, which was cheap and plentiful. In the late 20th century, however, the cost of petroleum distillate rose, and by the late 1970s there was renewed interest in biodiesel. Commercial production of biodiesel in the United States began in the 1990s.

The most common sources of oil for biodiesel production in the United States are soybean oil and yellow grease (primarily, recycled cooking oil from restaurants). Blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel are designated with the letter “B,” followed by the volumetric percentage of biodiesel in the blend: B20, the blend most often evaluated, contains 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel; B100 is pure biodiesel. By several important measures biodiesel blends perform better than petroleum diesel, but its relatively high production costs and the limited availability of some of the raw materials used in its production continue to limit its commercial application.

What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.

Way back in 1988 I built a solar system for my sailboat before we took off for the islands on a 4 year jaunt to leave corporate America in our wake.

I used 3- 25 watt solar panels and found that the 25 watt rating was very low. I actually was putting over 10 amps into my battery system most of the daylight hours.

After 4 years in the caribbean the panels were working perfectly with no maintenence. I did have a problem with the voltage regulator on the out put and burned up a battery, but the panels were still working as well as ever.

During this 4 year period I NEVER had to start the engine to charge batteries and we used refrigeration all the time plus all running lights and reading lights at night.

The United States House of Representatives has passed an Energy Bill requiring utility companies to produce 15 per cent of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar power by 2020.

The Bill passed in the House on a 241-172 vote, despite strong opposition from electric utility companies and the White House, which has threatened to veto the measure. Twenty six Republicans voted in favor and nine Democrats opposed the bill.

A senior analyst for Lazard Capital Markets described the bill as “a significant positive step towards creating a cohesive energy policy.”

The renewable electricity standard applies only to investor-owned utilities and exempts rural electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the state of Hawaii from the mandate.

The bill also calls for stronger energy efficiency standards for appliances and lighting and incentives for building more energy-efficient buildings. The bill bans the sale of 100-watt incandescent light bulbs by 2012 and requires that all bulbs be 300% more efficient than today’s ordinary bulbs by 2020. The bill also includes a range of loan guarantees, federal grants and tax breaks for alternative energy programs. These include building biomass factories, research into making ethanol from wood chips and switch grass and producing better batteries for hybrid cars.

The bill will repeal a tax break for oil companies from 2004, and another tax break relating to income from foreign oil production. Critics of the two tax breaks called them loopholes that the industry had taken advantage of.

The 786-page House energy bill does not include an increase in fuel-efficiency standards for cars and light trucks. That issue, as well as whether to force major increases in the use of E85 fuel as a substitute for gasoline, were left to be negotiated when the House bill is merged with energy legislation the Senate passed in June.

“There’s a war going on against energy from fossil fuels” said Representative Ralph Hall, Republican-Texas. Representative Joe Barton predicted the bill “isn’t going to go anywhere” because President Bush would veto it if it reaches his desk.

In a somewhat surprising comment from the White House, they accused the bill of making “no serious attempts to increase our energy security”. This defies commonsense as by producing more electricity from domestic renewable sources rather than with imported natural gas by definition increases the United States’ diversity and security of energy supply.

As with all legislation the details (such as a subsidy for installing gas pumps for expensive and inefficient E85 fuel) need to be checked carefully. Regardless a 15% renewable energy standard is good news.

I recently found a better way to create my browns gas for my car. It costs a little more ($16 vs. $14.50) but it seems to increase production over double.

At this rate my mercedes diesel is now getting almost 60 M.P.G. and the Lincoln towncar is up to over 30.m.p.g.

Not too bad for a total investment of $16.00

I paid for my generator with the first tank of gas.

I will let you know when I can get an honest 1000 miles out of my 16 gallon tank of diesel.

As I have already exceeded the 500 miles per tank on the lincoln I am now shooting for 750 and I will let you know when I achieve this.

1960 Ford Starliner

352 cu.in. 360 h.p.

I purchased this car in 1960 in Seattle Washington. It had been specially prepared for A.K. Miller to race in the Pikes Peak Hill climb. He was unable to race it and it was sold to me. It had 8 miles on the odometer when I got it.

I added a radio, heater and a few other things and used it as a dual purpose car for over 2 years.

During that time I raced it in Super Stock, B stock and finally C gas in NHRA competition

In stock configuration it turned 12.02 at 101 mph with 411 gears and entirely stock other components including a cast iron set of headers supplied as stock from Ford

After lightening it and moving to C gas it was able to turn 10.84 E.T. at 124 M.P.H

All the while I used this car as a family vehicle and with proper tuning was able to get over 24 M.P.G. on the highway.

It had a 3 speed with electric overdrive and I never changed the transmission. I did change rear ends from 350 to even 456 gears with many variations in the middle depending on the altitude where I was racing.

I don’t care anymore as I am making my own ethanol and bio diesel now. My total costs are well below $1 per gallon for ethanol and below $0.50 for bio diesel.

However what I am really interested in is hydrogen and how to make a storage device for it.

First I made a browns gas generator.

Then I separated the hydrogen from the oxygen.

Now to the storage and compression of the hydrogen.

I am totally confused as to why scientists and entrapreneurs cant get together to run the oil companies out of business.

If I, a 67 year old man, can get as far as I have in just a few hours why can’t they come up with something of value in a short time?

If anyone knows the answer please tell me.

Just returned from vacation to Colorado

WOW gas prices rival California (yuch)

Great climate but the state has gone to the dogs.

Filthy rest rooms at rest areas.

Terrible state parks and they charge senior citizens just to get in. (not worth a dime)

Colorado now has bike paths (everywhere) with no one riding bikes but they cannot clean their rest rooms in their rest areas or have decent facilities at their state parks.

I think they are trying to run off tourists and keep the state for the residents (none of which are natives)

As an ex native of Colorado I am terribly disappointed with the result of years of Californication.

We travel about 6 months a year all over the states and as of now Colorado has been removed from my list of where to visit again.

Talk about a waste of energy. They have roundabouts everywhere on the western slope. Many of them with just 1 road in and 1 road out. In fact there is one on New Castle that can never be anything but a chicane as any road to the right must go up a mountain and any road to the left would go off a cliff.

I guess it was a good way to waste money and fuel.

One thing I did learn on this trip was that if you use clean gasoline you will get better gas mileage.

For clean gas toptier will tell you what manufacturer (dealer) sells cleaning gasoline. Use it and your mileage will increase 3-5 mpg. Mine did in a 97 Lincoln Towncar I went from 21 mpg to over 25 mpg and even 26 mpg on one leg of the trip.

Now to energy for you click here for the most refreshing and healthy energy drink you can find.

More later when I am not so pissed off at Colorado
