Oh yeah, "even water can be burned as fuel".

ig? was that irony? Skepticism?

I was referring to this sentence:

``The relatively low temperature plasma creation in the patented GEET
reactor is also why other substances can be added to the fuel and be
burned as fuel, including the signature pickle juice, Windex, pee,
and even water. ''
That guy brewed too much apple jack in the joint.
LOL
True indeed Wes. Passenger vehicles will never be powered by and
combination
of pee and Windex.
Windex is expensive and if people started burning their pee, BeVmo
wouldn't
have one of the key ingredients for Budweiser.
What would American's do then?

Remember the fellow who found out how to burn sea water?

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not suggesting this will ever be a
cheap fuel source.

But if the loony had a way of vaporizing fuels better than a carb
did, he'd have had something.


Richard, the bottom line on these things is that if they claim to get more
energy out of the system than you put in, they're a hoax. It's like
unmasking a magic trick; just look for the source of energy inputs. In the
case of this "burning water," it's the energy absorbed from the radio-wave
emissions. You can do the same thing by adding heat ( a whole lotta heat),
or by electrolyzing it with DC electricity. This is just another way to add
the energy (AC electricity, in this case) needed to dissociate water into
oxygen and hydrogen. But there is no net energy gain. It's always a loss,
large or small.

Also, recall that his work was back before lean burn computer controls
were common.

It has nothing to do with it.

There are a some serious hotrodders near here.

A couple of '66 Mustangs, a 68 Camero and a '69 Firebird.

When they drive by you can SMELL them.

If you want a good smell, go to your local circle track and smell the
alky-burners. But you missed the days of the really good stuff, which ended
in the early '60s for the most part: methanol and castor oil. Umm, mmm. g

As usual, Ed, you missed my point to make your point. (sorry).

How much energy is in gasoline?

Just how efficient do you think our engines are?

And as for smell, it's not a GOOD smell.

It's the unburned fuel in the exhaust.

And computer controls have EVERYTHING to do with that not being a
common smell any nore.
