Please send me the plans. I have a class project due tomorrow and I am out of gas so I can not get there. This way I can make it to class and then show the reactor as my final project..

Car is silver if that helps. Not Delorean though..

I didn't read the whole post, and i don't mean to hijack the thread, but you can build a wood gas generator and run a combustion engine off of wood gas. You can use quite a bit for fuel, too; Peanut shells, wood(duh), thick grasses, ect.

From what i gather, they are fairly simple to build, too.

Just what we need on the road nowdays. Wood burning cars...

Marks256 · 8th January 2007, 01:47 AM

Yes, but it is pretty much free to people who have a lot of wood...

I'm sorry, what, I couldn't see anything through the two inch solid wall of smog that will create =)

Marks256 · 8th January 2007, 02:33 AM

That is why i live in the country!

I will stick with electric cars...

I heard Japan used wood gas to power vehicles a lot during WWII due to fuel shortages.

One of the few photoessays of North Korea says the some of the little farm equipment they have is supposed to run on wood gas.

I think I got behind one of those yesterday. Still have a sinus headache. That or they were spraying for bugs.

I forget the name of the french scientist but he correctly stated:

nothing is created and nothing is destroyed everything is transformed,

now consider that 100 % efficienzy does not exist in anything it is plain that noting can work perpetually,

yea I had some crazy idea when i was 15 (ie not yet an intelligent adult like scammers) that I could have perpetual power by self powering a motor turning an alternator that made power for the motor I soon realized it was impossible.

I think everone's had that idea before, the other classis is converting water to hydrogen and oxygen, burning it to produce water then converting it back to hydrogen and oxygen.

Thunderchild · 18th March 2007, 04:32 PM

well i think that with the cost and often problems of storing power in batteries the Hydrogen and Oxygen solution is a good one unlike batteries that gradually discharge anyway need to be acurately calculated for supply/demand and can wear out quikly it is much easier to store the gas and use it when needed. it is probably easier to pipe to where needed as opposed to electricity that again is lost in transport and needs a more complicated infrastructure.

Electricity is the easiest type of power to transport, and probably the easiest to convert to other forms - the electricity infrastructure is very efficient and simple.

I agree, don't for get that gas requires pumping and a constant pressure needs to be maintained. My previous posts are aimed at people who think hydrogen is a source of infinite energy, well it is if they ever figure out how to do nuclear fusion efficiently.

HI YOU ALL.. here is what i think it will work the (oxy hydrogen generators) i made a small proto type it size slightly bigger than a quart ..i set it at just 2 amps wow the bubbles came slowly but after just a few minutes it was working great.. i found most every thing at yard sales for mere pennies ...so now my next project is going to be a 3 gallon size...i,ll do the testing in my back yard out of sight of neighbors......oh yes it helped my gas milllage by about 2 miles better...realise it just a slightly bigger than a quart.....so you dont have to spend much money to give your device a try and see how it really works. ...amd of course it doesnt heat up...i hung it in front of the radiator between the radiator and grill only place i could...

What on earth are you talking about Fuel-Miser? Nothing you said has even a shred of logic in it anywhere.
