Guy came up with a way to run an engine on water

Well if the can make a street light boom cantilever 40'+ out over an intersection they should be able to make a windmill last here.
 
Water just went up 10 bucks a barrel:wink1:
 
The blades do picth but they can not withstand the forces of mother nature when she is really pist .
The 1.5MW units that we build weigh close to 90 Tons on top of the tower and it can only withstand so much sway and maintain stability. I believe the technology is avaialble to make them live but it is not cost effective yet.
Testing is being done on "off-shore" units and there are units being used in Europe but the U.S. market is not that strong - yet. I don't think we will see wind turbines in the Gulf of Mexico anytime soon.

And before you know it, Earth will be dried up and oil will be a thing of the past. :doah:

In 1974, students at UCLA built an engine that ran on air and produced potable water from the tailpipe. Around the same time, another guy produced an engine similar to this one.

Both disappeared, bought up and shelved by the oil companies.

false. Even if they (ie "big oil") did score some US patents, they would have expired by now... not to mention any one of those students could have moved to South Korea and started an air-powered car company there and be a billionaire today. Ever heard of anyone outside the US building / selling these? Neither have I. Lemme guess... big oil KILLED all the students in addition to stealing their design! :rolleyes:

Another idea is hydropower. Even a small drop in water elevation can allow hydroelectric stations to run on a somewhat small flow. It's a little tough but it can work. When we really stop and think about it; there are very few places on earth that we can not produce electricty in some form by use of something other than non-renewable fossil fuels. There is solar power, hydro power, wind power, thermo power, wave action power, etc. In my mind electricity will be the easy part. Clean water, now that is going to become a issue in my opinion ... but then again I'm no scientist.

You might get a charge out of this; it's worthy of a whole week of Art Bell programs:

PREMISE
There is a barber in a village who shaves everyone that does not shave themself.
CONCLUSION
The barber is in the employ of the Illuminati.
REASONING
1.. If the barber shaves himself, he is not shaved by the barber.
2.. If the barber doesn't shave himself, he is shaved by the barber.
3.. Therefore he can't be shaved.
4.. Therefore the barber has a beard.
5.. Introduction of Unnecessary data - Edicts against beards:
_a.. Alexander the Great ordered that the whole of his army be closely shaved to deny handholds by enemy troops.
_b.. Peter the Great ordered one hundred ruble "beard tax" (except for priests and serfs - one kopeck every time they passed the gate of a city).
_c.. King of Bavaria (Aug 1838) - civilians forbidden to have moustaches - offending parties to be arrested and shaved.
6.. If the barber lived in Bavaria in late 1838, he was breaking the law.
7.. He would have had to remain inconspicuous.
8.. Therefore, it is likely that if he was there at that time, no evidence would exist of his presence.
9.. Therefore, there can be no evidence that the barber was in Bavaria in late 1838.
10.. Therefore, evidence about the barber's whereabouts must always be inconclusive. Lack of evidence guarantees nothing. Evidence can always be faked and is therefore not evidence.
11.. Therefore, there can be no evidence that the barber was not in Bavaria in late 1838.
12.. Therefore he was.
13.. The barber must have had a reason to be in Bavaria.
14.. Visible results of the reason would be evidence for the barber's presence.
15.. There are no visible results.
16.. This is typical of Bavarian Illuminati operations.
17.. Therefore, the reason was linked with plans of the Illuminati.
18.. Therefore, the barber was in the employ of the Illuminati (whether he knew it or not).
19.. QED
 
Hyrdo power is out. It works great, but the dams they have to create in order to store enough water are fought tooth and nail. :(
 
This technology has been around for awhile. Hell they offer plans on the net to do it. He just actually applied it and took it a step foward. I've seen little 4 strokes run off the same idea on a new report. It creates water vapor and unburnt oxygen by breaking down the H2O down. Only problem I see is rust.

Ummm ok. We all know the history of the diesel engine right?

Real neat, just like cold fusion. Which didn't work. Where did the electricity (for the electrolysys of the water into hydrogen and oxygen) come from? Magic wand? Fairy dust? Wind power isn't practical in areas where the wind doesn't blow strong and steadily.

burn the HHO to make power.

if he isent making enuff power with the HHO to cover the extraction process then this is nothing new, if he has then he has broken the efisancey barrier.


here is a link to a moter that runs on water.

There is no way to create enough energy to cover the extraction process, that violates the first law of thermodynamics. I still think this guy has an amazing invention. I don't know how much electricity it requires to create this gas, but like others have said, there are reneable resources of electricity such as wind, solar, and water. If the whole nation converted to those types of power plants, and maybe some well guarded nuclear plants as well, then the engergy crisis would be over. That HHO gas is amazing :bow:

that is my point, although i feel most of the "laws" that every one takes as facts are simply as of yet unproven theories allbeit smart, still unfounded.

This law is a mathematical certainty. If it is ever broken, man will have created the mythical prepetual motion machine, and that person will be the richest person in the world. It would be awsome if it happens, but to the best of the formost scientists and mathematician's knowledge, its impossible. But yeah, laws are meant to be broken, just look at all the stuff Einsten came up with, or how about quantum physics.

He can't be, and thus, as you wrote, it's nothing new.

By the way, wouldn't HHO gas just be H2O, or plain old water in a gaseous state?
