What !!! Nobody cares about a FREE fuel cell truck from Chevrolet ! ? Or a 5 cycle V-8 engine that puts water into the fifth stroke turning into steam from FREE heat ??? I am LOST on this site ! What was its title again ? Where is website pic ? Yeah Orange County is the mecca of Hydrogen research. Screw Hydrogen, Go Hemis ! Yeah, I fit in here ! 5 strokes is a good idea though ! My dad had water injection on his P-47. gotta work |

P-47s were good at taking fire and still getting bombs off at those U-Boats off the coast of Africa. Then they got replaced by the P-51s. I think gas was about a nickel per gallon or less, then. Japan hit us because we shut down their import of gas. See where this is going? .

And if u want to talk about gas prices, why are we paying $450 a gallon for fuel in Irag ? |

And if u want to talk about gas prices, why are we paying $450 a gallon for fuel in Irag ? Not because that's what our oil companies pay for it. I don't buy gas in Iraq so couldn't say. I know a man who bombed U-boats and ships exactly where I said the P-47s were used. He then hit Italy, like your Dad. Maybe WITH your Dad. This guy is as sharp as a razor to this day and continues to work at his own business, here in Burlingame, California. .

Your Dad is a Hero and should be written up in the Heroes section of these forums. If you write it I will copy it into my websites Hero section, as well. He walked out of Germany with a German deserter. Had SS troops below him in a jewish familys house. they gave him diamonds and an SS dagger when he left. He said he passed the SS guys on the stairs once. He said the only time he was scared was when he walked back to our lines |

You should write a book, if you have enough data. I'd buy a copy from you. . "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Scientists burn water?: Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water: ERIE, Pa. - An Erie cancer researcher has found a way to burn salt water, a novel invention that is being touted by one chemist as the "most remarkable" water science discovery in a century. John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn. http://green.yahoo.com/index.php?q=node/1570 Sound familiar? (No pun intended.)

Scientists burn water?: Sigh. Energy is added through the radio waves (and some energy source is being used to create the radio waves). You are not getting something for nothing, you are getting less energy out of burning the water (Converting Hydrogen and Oxygen back into Water - at a higher temperature than it was at the start) than you put into it with the radio waves.

How much energy is used to transport a barrel of crude and then process it into gasoline? "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

How much energy is used to transport a barrel of crude and then process it into gasoline? Too much. I am all in favor of increased efficiency, and alternative fuels, but putting water in the gas tank is not going to work. Many people could do with an electric vehicle - especially if the range between recharges was at least 150 miles. There is at least one electric vehicle with a range of greater than 200 miles, but it has 2 problems - it is $100K, and it seats 2 - acceleration is far more than adequate 0-60 in 4 seconds - top speed is more than adequate (~200MPH) - you can buy it next year (the orders are exceeding supply - you could have bought it last year if you ordered 2 years ago).
