...how many of us have diesel motors in our cars? Our trucks? Now how many of those actually give a **** about cost of fuel?

It's not big here but it's huge in europe where the majority of your vehicles are diesel powered. As far as the vegi oil conversion you may have heard a lot of buzz about "bio-diesel"...they are the same thing. A diesel motor will actually run on vegetable oil with out making any modifications. The problems comes with it gets cold and the oil solidifies in the fule lines, pump, tank etc. So, the put the oil through a process that removes the glycerine from it so that it will not go solid.

The problem with hydrogen thus far is that it take more energy to get the hydrogen out of the water than the hydrogen puts out.

Oh, and a lot of you need to be wearing foil hats to keep the satelites and black helicopters from controling your thoughts.

Yes i realize that it takes engergy to make energy, and that you cant get free energy.. its basic laws of thermodynamics, though im no expert in that field. Anyways, the power increase may not be up to par for those of us who run systems on stock alts, because it will draw a lot of current, thus making the need for a HO alt. But the fuel savings alone is worth it imho

I have been researching this idea for a long time. I am by no means smart enough to develop something like this, but the idea has always interested me. It appears that Honda has this technology figured out. The first link is a public filling station prototype and the second is a unit you would purchace for your home and includes some basic schematics of operation. I suppose you would just have it installed in your garage. The most recent article, which I haven't been able to find again, presents the sale of the unit and includes a car. The HES would totally replace your need for any current methods for energy production as well as eliminate any dependancy on petrolium based fuel. Pretty cool, if you ask me. I will continue to look for the other link. These two should shed some light on how the technology works.

well if it does become a viable option you can bet a car or oil company will buy the plans and bury it until they get thier last once of oil out of the ground.
