I know a couple of car companies that need that Malcolm – Call the White House, they’ll give you the phone numbers.

There’s a movement afoot to explain around the Thermodynamic Law thingie – that adding a small amount of hydrogen to the fuel-air mixture “enhances” the combustion process, thus not requiring large amounts of H2.

Although in Bizarro (Quantum) World, where cold fusion still has a chance to work, anything is possible, as not all quantum effects are known – you just have to get rid of those pesky electrons and ram positively-charged nuclei together in a confining matrix. Or find antiprotons in that box.

My point was that a turbo uses exhaust heat that is normally wasted (from wikipedia: “The turbine converts heat to rotational force, which is in turn used to drive the compressor.”). Using heat like this doesn’t violate any law of thermodynamics because there’s plenty going to waste. If instead of attaching a compressor to the turbine they attached an electrical generator which then performed the electrolysis then there’s no free energy, just lest wasted energy.

Bytor: “The Ed Wood Of Automobiles”. That’s funny.
Especially since they don’t have Liz Carmichael to kick around any more.

Do a Google search on “Brown’s Gas” for more on that water into fuel thing. You can even buy your own plans and a kit. http://www.brownsgas.com

TTAC? God no!! You have to be warped to work here.

I was a kid, it looked cool, so we thought it was neat that cools sporty car was built in our province. All in all it seemed reasonable to me then.

But why it seemed reasonable to adults of the time or any of his other ventures have since is beyond me.

He is kind of like the Ed Wood of automobiles.

Ditto! I’d love to hear/read the whole thing, Yugos, Kissinger and all. — Aaron

Malcolm doesn’t have to make it work now… and in fact he doesn’t want it to work – just “maybe work”. Seriously, he only has to have it seem plausible enough to convince the Democratic Administration to toss some millions for “research” his way.

Perhaps he’s having fond memories of the last all Democratic Administration (which interestingly enough was during the last big recession and oil shortage)= the Jimmy Carter years. If I recall correctly, that’s when the windmill/solar panel/corn oil scams started…. which 20 years later, combined all together make less than 1 percent of our energy.

So he’s only going to ask for Washington chump-change – 20 million or so, and then skim off only 3M or 4M for himself. Malcolm’s old; that will last him comfortably for his remaining years. The rest will go into a beautiful new lab employing young and gullible AMERICAN (Malcolm will certainly wave that flag) researchers who will give up in frustration and confusion about six months after Malcolm’s death.

You know this is sounding so good, I might try it myself. Hmmm the hydrogen thing is taken, but maybe the magnetically charged gasoline particle thing is still available :-)

The Second Law of Thermodynamics: You can’t break even.

The Third Law of Thermodynamics: You can’t even come close.

Why does it seem that these incredibly fuel efficient technologies never become available? The 100 mpg carbeuretor, for example, was never sold at any outlet, at least not by my knowledge. Water injection seems like something that would be available in production cars if it actually worked, and so goes Bricklin’s new hydrogen idea. If it’s for real, and it works, let’s see it. Get your patent, and make it available, or at least show it to us! People would line up down the block to buy it if it works!

That’s because the evil oil companies buy up those inventions and never let them go! LOL

Did you ask him what he’s been smoking these past forty years? I want some of it.

I take it you don’t work for a company that piss tests? ;)
