The old guys all knew who I am. I would like to bring you older guys up to date on why I haven't been in the 2000 post counts with you original guys?? I want to thank 101 for beginning this form after the Burtin City Form needed to go away. About the same time as 101 began The Outpost, I began a very intense study of our most basic element on earth--hydrogen. I'm posting this with a very limted group, i.e 2, you guy and a local group compressed. Why is hydrogen so interesting?  |

Welcome back Remey. Learn anything useful, like how to power a car for pennies?  |

Sounds like it was a gas!

Powering a vehicle for pennies? Yes, sure why not?
My partner and I bought a small tech company here in OKC doing "hydrogen as a fuel" reasearch. The company owned patents for pure hydrogen gas and diesel fuel injectors, and a basic design for a PED or Portable Electrolysis Device that I completed. We adapted to a system design for adding a second (high amp) alternator that can generate hydrogen at a volume necessary to reduce gasoline consummation by 50% or more. The State of Oklahoma wants to pay for the OKC, Stillwater, Tulsa, Norman PD's Crown Vic Interceptor's to be converted as a pilot project. The same hydrogen fuel system works on all 1/2 Ton Ford products--SUV or Pickups as well beyond the Crown Vics. We're working on the modification for a GMC conversion package current. The first test unit will be my UConn-Yukon, i.e my Dark Blue Yukon SLT with University of Connecticut stickers and license plate holders added stem to stern.
Police departments coast to coast get poor to sh-ty gas mileage because of idle-time. US PD's idle 1/3 of their 9 hour shift as an average. As a result, 11 mile to the gallon is normal for these vehicles. The Okahoma PD's keep a 100% log by vehicle on mileage, and we assume other state departments do as well. We can double the mileage for PD's Crown Vic's--it's the hardest application and lowest mileage vehicles for the Ford power plant, transmission-convertor size. A conversion also cleans excess carbon build up in the cylinder heads. That reduces the need for one's routine for one to change engine lubrication. The conversion will relegate oil changes to one's 30,000 fluid change. I used the quote from the movie MacArthur. At the point he get the phone call in Japan about the North Koreans moving south across the border. My Hydrogen project is a general's last gift for me!.
Gasoline here in OKC recently hit 2.09 a gallon. I know a bunch of Oil-People here in OKC, and they think gasoline could hit $1.50/gal plus state tax.

We sold our farm, but the family is investing heavily in two bio-fuel plants here in mid-Missouri. Of course H will be a by product of any hydrocarbon processing.
Remey, I have wanted to see this Administration declare a war on energy as a cooperative effort with its war on Terror. It appears that the majority of Americas leaders just don't get Bush's statements about severing our reliance on foreign oil.
It would be great to tell Chevez and Ahmadinejad to take a flying leap because we don't need them.
How realistic is it that the US could cut it reliance on foreign supplies by 50% by 2012?
I have also grown to believe in the wind-farming. There use to be a home near Claremore that had a wind-generator. There is also that small wind-farm near Wichita KS. You live in the Sapulpa area, are there any plans for a wind-farm near Tulsa.
I use to work with a small firm in Sand Springs that did a lot of heavy industry and refinery work. Do you know Steve Bryant?

Sounds interesting Remey. I can understand how you got so deeply involved in this project.
"We adapted to a system design for adding a second (high amp) alternator that can generate hydrogen at a volume necessary to reduce gasoline consummation by 50% or more."
A question if I may, what does running this second alternator do to your engine efficiency? I was brought up believing "there's no such thing as a free lunch." I assume from your discription the energy gained from the hydrogen more than offsets the power drain necessary to power the alternator.
What are you using as your hydrogen source material? Are you using gasoline, diesel, water or some other "fuel?"
If the maintenance savings are as you state, that alone is a considerable savings above and beyond fuel usage and costs.
Just reading of your work has peaked my interest.

Just reading of your work has peaked my interest. Sailor : A question if I may, what does running this second alternator do to your engine efficiency? You're Right my friend--The law of conservation of energy. We can add a second high amp alternator a bracket and adaptor. The The timing belt pulley for the alternator will adapter to the existing belt length. The Engine Power Lose is 3/5 HP. This design works well with the Crowne Vic up through SUV & 1/2 Pick Ups. with 5.0 something to 6.0 something litre engines. What are you using as your hydrogen source material? Are you using gasoline, diesel, water or some other "fuel? The fuel is water with a 4, 8 or 12 oz bottle of electrolites and antifreeze added when refilling the PED (depends on size). If the maintenance savings are as you state, that alone is a considerable savings above and beyond fuel usage and costs We think one could keep a vehicle on the road for more than 500,000 miles with little or no maintanence. |

On 10/03/06, We just received an order from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for 850 Hydrogen Conversion Kits.

Anyone see and read the Popular Mechanics November edition? The feature article is Hydrogen as a fuel.

Nope, didn't see it Remey...but would be interested. Sounds promising.
