Edison battery

Very cool link man. Thanks. These batteries are basically rechargeable hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells. Page 35. I have made a couple of crude ones myself. Do you know of any company manufacturing these for sale?

It Works!!! But Why???

Soap...or rather Glycerin.or any detergent solvent used to excess , Unites water with gasoline 60/40 with outstanding results
At least 10 percent more power by my tests. On an old Nissan Van. Same mileage as well. Plugs are good. Oil is good. Everything is good. I am happy.

Nice links Seamonkey. Just about covers everything. I knew there must have been a simple answer.
Mr Gunnerman has done some serious testing with amazing results.

I find the catalyst part very interesting. I wonder if nickel plating the piston would help with dissociation?
Also interesting was the computer fuel injection engine test he does.
I tried the mix on a tricked out Subaru and it ran better than on gas but may not be as effective on a standard injection engine. But the mods seem easy enough.

The best thing is I will no longer have babysit my 180 proof still all day.
Making 100 proof is a breeze.

Moonshine my friend.
Yeast, sugar, water, sun =ethanol + carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide, plants, water , sun = sugar + oxygen
Nice little cycle there.

I see your sense Tesla, but am still baffled. Have run my Nissan van as well as my friends twin turbo Subaru on this recently. More power than gasoline?
My buddy wants a continuous supply.
I think there is some steam thing happening there. And it is good.
Exhaust smells like dragster fuel but less harsh on the nose.
And unfortunately ethanol is free if u now how to make it.

Spank me if I'm wrong but I think a fuel that mixes freely with water gives explosive steam generating power. Like those old trains etc...that early automobiles were based on...and to this day still have a piston and crank.
Its not SPECIAL. The internal combustion engine today is very hardy compared to an old steam train engine.

I go a step further and bring up prohibition. Wasn't that odd?????
USA bans alcohol/ethanol? The land of the free. Dukes of Hazzard. Its so strong it will run yer car. .....Ask Henry Ford. Or at least google his relationship with Rockefeller.

I have a 7 horsepower 4 stroke generator engine that runs fine on 50/50 ethanol/water mix?
It wont cold start but will start easily if warmed up so I use engine start spray can to get it going.
Will only run if the choke is fully on.
Any less than 50% ethanol wont work.
It idles and revs like normal.
I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas why or how this works?
Not doing vacuum distillation. But could be utilized and integrated with a little imagination.
Basically utilizing the common household freezer to remove most of water content. Not 100 percent efficient at separation BUT u can recycle the weak alcohol ice mix to next mash. The freezer wont use any more power than usual.
Transfer unfrozen liquid to onboard vehicle pressure cooker still ( radiator) What was in there in the first place? Water and ethanol based anti freeze.

So we are replacing it with almost the same thing for nothing.

We need hole in top radiator, a tube, a cheap old diesel injector screwed into air inlet wired to points or injectors or stand alone pulsed with a little imagination for max efficiency.

Cold ethanol distillation

Been doing some very promising experiments with this. Trying to engineer it as simple, easy, free and as low maintenance as I can.

It works undoubtedly but needs a little fine tuning to make it simpler for everyday household use. Which I hope someone here can help me with.

We know that alcohol based fuel is colorless like water.
Need a cheap dye (coloring agent) to color alcohol in a dilute solution of water to aid in the separation process. ie make the alcohol a different color from the water.

Tried all kinds. Food coloring, ink etc.. But need something that has an affinity for alcohol alone.

Appreciate any input.

ok, 2 hemispherical pieces put togehter with the ball in the middle. The ratio between the 2 hemispheres is the golden ratio
I dunno if that will work man. If u mean water/air mix? Maybe under high pressure. I dunno.
Problem is the water. Water has unusual properties. Especially when u under it. LOL. Like things weigh less....crazy stuff that. Sound/frequencies etc.. are more defined. Compared to general atmosphere that we used too.

Yes. This is about John Worrell Keely and his hydro vacuo engine.
Also, the reason why a relatively small bomb (the bouncing bomb)
split the Mohne Dam in 1942. See "The Dam Busters" film.

Keely's biographer, Dale Pond, is said to have written a book on how
to replicate the hydro vacuo engine. I shall have a look for it.
Yeah man. Good call. I remember the Keely engine and I seen that movie as well years ago.Was it Burt Lancaster? or maybe Kirk Douglas? I forget.
Hell yes I would be keen on reading that book. Cheers brother.

make a dimpled resonant cavity like an inverted golf ball

or maybe a golf ball inside a spherical cavity as a check valve!
I know what u mean bro. I tried similar things but no luck. Its not the valve system. I think its the air/water pressure ratio that initiates the effect. Its hard man. I think it will be a total fluke if I get it right.

If pressure/force/energy is applied to a vibrating/resonating/reverberating ummmmm... thing... LOL something will happen. An equilibrium/balance/frequency will invariably be attained. In this case forget the equilibrium/balance bit.

Hey Harvey, I think we on the same page here man. U seen it...I seen it. Its magic. I heard what u say and it makes sense. Until u actually attempt to initiate it on purpose. LOL. I have built pressure tanks, long pipes, high speed valves, back stroke turbines, no success. Yet I go to visit a friend and his plumbing is going nuts every time he turns on a tap. I disagree that it reverberates from the main water tank. Generally there thousands of houses all connected to the same pipe. I'm thinking compression and bounce if u will of dissolved air components in the water. Excuse my scientific lingo, but compressed air bounces. Like those Mexican low rider cars that bounce up and down because of the air suspension. Anyway man..glad u interested in this subject. Any advice would be appreciated.
