Browse Forums Eco Living 1 Mar 04, 2010 12:09 pm Does anyone have any opinion on buying a small truck for the OB process? Have a standard car at moment so was thinking of getting a small isuzu and then i guess i could save on some freight costs etc. Do you think it may be worth it?? Of course it would be sold after the landscaping is all finished. Re: Buying a small truck? 2Mar 04, 2010 11:08 pm Make sure you check out the Landscape forum for the best info available A small truck will be a god send. Because this is in eco living I am fascinated by the concept of running hydrogen into the fuel lines generated from a current run through water. I know that Neil Young (the singer) has done this in his massive Ford Galaxy. Very good fuel economy and emissions with excellent power still An Aussie built it too Re: Buying a small truck? 3Mar 05, 2010 12:40 am There is a massive amount of information on youtube and associated websites about this. In the USA many trucks have been using it and getting great results.
You have to filter the internet though, there are kooks out there and people who want money.. e.g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PDFrg3U1AQ I still question it though, shoving raw amps into steel coils to separate water into basic elements (electrolysis) is costly overheads in terms of current. Current draws on the car generator which intern sucks fuel.... You wonder why it takes mega watts to separate a gigaliter of water from salty into fresh, this is why... Re: Buying a small truck? 4Mar 05, 2010 12:43 am Yeah I have seen that stuff. Ages ago there was a pretty funny experiment "The Fat Aussie Bastard" did. He used to be a popular Youtuber. Probably still is. Re: Buying a small truck? 5Mar 05, 2010 12:44 am The guy from Perth? I have no doubt in 300 years time, should we make it, we will look back at todays science and scoff. Separating water will be an everyday tool and probably using something like sonar or frequency resonance. Hydrogen = 1470mhz Microwave = gigahertz Oxygen ? Somewhere in between is a sweet spot. Water is V shaped so it can be broken like a wishbone in a covalent sense. Using raw current simply attracts or overwhelms the covalent bonds but its so physical and brutal it generates 3 times more heat as lost energy than you would want it too. Imagine pulling a pair of welded steel rods aprart with an electro magnet.. What if you could simply splice the weld off and the rods separate? Shunting orbitals? s1 to s2? Re: Buying a small truck? 6Mar 05, 2010 4:12 pm There is this thing about running cars off a plasmary stuff. Like a living substance that is apparently quite fragile but effective. Even on high powered cars. Anyone who trys it seems to go very quiet on the topic. If it worked I know I'd stay pretty quiet Re: Buying a small truck? 7Mar 06, 2010 2:29 am Is that the one where a crude oil hydrocarbon goo is used via a heat exchanger and catalyst to convert the fumes of combustion and water into a plasma (or chemical mix) that in effect makes the motor run on water (which it actually is not doing). IIRC the guy selling the engine (catalyst) was jailed for ** so he gave away the patents and details. It actually worked as many people had verified the design. Pentone engine? Runs on water as the primary source but uses a goo mix of "a hydrocarbon substance" - could be anything crude oil based which is used in minuscule amounts. i.e say driving from Perth to Sydney on one small tank of oil but several tanks of water. Is that what your thinking of? Chemically it could work. Oil fractures at high temps and so does water, the 2 combined is 200% more volatile than alone. Instead of sending into the pots to burn where the engine would seize or explode from steam (expands 1600 times) he "cracks" both in a 2 way exhaust system that heats both to critical. Then you have a kind of plasma? In this case the vapors have energy already, they are mixed evenly and highly disparate I assume. If a "plasma" state has been induced then both elements will have extra ion and electrons attached. Does this amplify the combustion of disperse hydrocarbons in a controlled space? I think you would need to redesign the engine to work with extreme compression ratios though. You can test this. Make a fire and toss a cup of pure petrol on it. (Actually don't) Then mix it with 80% water shake well and see the result. One burns incredibly hot, fast and powerful and its not the one your thinking.. This is why you don't use water on oil fires. I guess a more scientific method would be to connect a motor drive to a single cylinder mower engine or similar. Run steam from a kettle in a controlled manner (so you can measure it) and mix heated fuel vapors into the steam and see if it can crank the motor. I suspect at some point it would. 50% of your exhaust is water normally... Natural gas burning on a stove.. CH4 + 4O2 -> 2H20 + 2Co2. 1 part water 1 part co2 same is true with all fuels fairly much.. More water in would add energy and compression goes up, already expanded water (steam) expands more with heat. This is why super heating was introduced into train boilers during the 30's. The steam would leave the boiler dome, then it was fed into tubes inside the tubes and came out super heated. The engines gained 15% power or saved 15% of their fuel which could be an extra 100 miles in some cases.. The VR at one point closed coal bunkers for that reason. Re: Buying a small truck? 8Mar 13, 2010 3:15 pm There are water injection systems in use currently on normal cars. Well not normal cars but high powered engines designed a little better than standard more often than not. Pretty sure it was an easy adaptation on the old carby engines but there is a need for a stainless steel exhaust system as the increase in water vapour will go to town on a mild steel system. The plasma thing was the other fuel I was thinking of. Re: Buying a small truck? 9Apr 19, 2010 1:34 am Well plasma cutters use high pressure air combined with electrical charge. Works a damn side better and safer than Oxy kits and its infinite. Acetylene gas is generated from cooked calcium carbide, just add water (hence union carbide) Calcium carbide is a anoxic reef fossil. Its rare in nature but Africa has mountains of it. Plasma was on engineering connections recently. I would imagine a plasma of some kind would alter water in such a way to make it flammable. Get anything hot enough or "charged" enough and it will burn in some kind of manner though not like matches and wood. Thinks Chernobyl and Carbon - it was the carbon that in a sense exploded as reported though its not accurate, not the Uranium either. In reality the carbon exceeded 3000 degrees and was highly charged through the reaction process, lots of electrons being handed about. Any water touching it instantly changed to Hydrogen but in sets of 3 Hydrogens (because of the electron swapping) creating another explosive element. Carbon set the temps and started the flame reacting with any oxygen it could steal, the hydrogen gas in effect was a by product of carbon stealing oxygen from water and air. It was hydrogen that sent the roof 16 kl all over the country side in tiny little pieces. All in the blink of an eye. For a second there, there was a 5 story office building filled with highly charged plasma. None of it was nuclear but it was the excessive heat generated by the fuel that caused the explosion, the fuel itself did not explode, if it did Chernobyl would not even exist, not a single atom. But that was water + carbon + heat + electrical energy from chemical and atomic (protonic) reactions on a massive scale. Plasma from water = big bang! As for the truck... I always wanted a large piece of land 10+ acres and to landscape it as I pictured I would need a serious amount of digging. It is cheaper to buy a digger and use it for 2 years then service it and sell it. $1 million of landscaping V a $15k service after 2 years on a $250k digger. The fuel is whatever you use and any broken hoses, rams or pumps will cost around 1 to 10,000 to fix. Unlike cars (plenty of) diggers do not depreciate in value so readily past a certain age simply because there are not that many around. 7 6246 Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum.
