Biodiesel Hybrid

The University of Arizona has been investigating Hydrogen fuel hybrids since the 1960s.  By mixing 5%-7% hydrogen into the base fuel, you gain significant milage increases AND NO hydrocarbon emmissions - only water vapor & CO2 with a little CO and NOx.  (NO, water4gas.com will NOT do this for you - at BEST your getting 1%, only at idle.  The resonating-pulse Hydrogen generators might work, but I haven't tried them.)  You can burn diesel fuel in a gasoline motor this way.  Yes, you read that correctly.  You can use the poorest quality bio-diesel or other bio-fuels and run your motor smoothly, efficiently, and cleanly.  Solor technology is a LONG way from producing the energy needed to drive longer distances every day, especially in mid-size and larger vehicles.  But it CAN produce the Hydrogen needed to supplement biodiesel.  Both fuels can be made CHEAPLY, and at home.  The University of Hawai'i has learned how to make biodiesel from algae in a pool of water.  Solar-electric feeding into a fuel-cell, storing the resultant Hydrogen in carbon fibre tanks (cheaper and much cleaner than batteries), then using that Hydrogen as fuel for vehicles, home hot water-heaters (to supplement solar water heaters), home stovetops, and to feed back into the fuelcell for electicity-on-demand is the best answer to our needs as greedy, selfish, not-wanting-to-work-hard-or-get-our-nails-dirty-living-off-the-land humans.  Also, soon to be posted: "the politics of (alternate) energy" at rollingwrench.com/HHOintro.htm.  See also the Rocky Mountain Institute's site: rmi.org  -this is one of the best.  PS -there's BETTER (cheaper, more efficient, no rare/toxic metals needed) solar-electric than PV panels.  Think Stirling Engine...On Umbra on diesel hybrids posted 1 year, 2 months ago 16 Responses
