Power and the glory, are there for the brave. There is a brave young man in Queensland, putting gas generators that generate Brown’s gas, or Hydrogen hydroxide, on the side of Kenworth trucks, and these trucks are increasing there mileage. Put Stanley Meyer in Google, and ogle the results. There is a Korean company making these things and claiming huge results on the net. There are people running generators with only a cupful of petrol to get going , that run all day.

http://brownsgas.com/brownsfuelsaver.html is one of the sites. There is a bit of very interesting research being done in this field. Go look at htttp://aquareactor.com/ for a report on a Korean site.

An Australian called Yull Brown did a lot of this work in the last 30 years, but when fuel was cheap, it did not really take off. There are videos, and all sorts of advertisements for these things, but I don’t have time to chase them up.

There is a bloke at Buderim in Queensland I have been talking to who has fitted this type of unit to 235 heavy duty diesel trucks hauling interstate. He tells me that one company alone is saving one million dollars a month in fuel costs, and that the federal Government is missing out on $450,000 a month in excise. He has them for cars and has them fitted to Falcons, and is working on one for smaller cars.

The usual fuel saving is 35% so that is substantial. Imagine every farmer with a unit fitted to his tractor, how much Greenhouse Gas he would save.

Another idea is to set up a 30 megawatt Base Load Wood fired Power Station using what is currently useless eucalyptus forests in Far North Queensland where they get an annual rainfall over 35 inches a year. Eucalyptus grows at an enormous rate, and every ton burned would be taken back up by the forest in the next twelve months so it would be carbon neutral. Water, a powerline plus about $40 million dollars: a carbon neutral source of energy from the sun

@ Fractelle
** Where I get impatient, is that we do have some alternatives we could be implementing right now. Significant investment into public transport, being just one example. **

Exactly Fractelle, this is our only means of creating better efficiency at the moment, but alas that would mean less super money and wages for the pollies or more taxes for the public. Getting government to spend for the people on behalf of the people is like pulling teeth these days :(

** And hydrogen should not be dismissed completely given that it is the most common element in the universe. **

I didn't mean to sound like I was dismissive of Hydrogen, just that all the ideas presently being thrown around are just pipe dreams. Nano tech' may one day provide a means of storing it successfully and science may provide a way of mining it cleanly and abundantly. But until such time, they should stfu about it IMHO.

** we are limited by a powerful minority who don't want or fear change. **

Ah the old government is corrupt again. All they need to do is tell the oil industry to go suck eggs, but will they have the cajoolies to do it?

lets just for arguments sake say I have a solid state generator capable of producing all the power a person needs and is the size of a shoe box. This device can be manufactured with current tech for around fifty bucks and produces no pollution other than the pollution created when making a current day TV set. What would happen to the worlds economy and how would government react to such a device?

Truthfully, this device is currently being researched by thousands of independent researchers around the world and is not beyond possibility. Do you think they, the PTB would let us have one?

That's the problem I have with all this talk of alternatives. If there truly was a means for us to create energy cheaply, efficiently and non polluting, I don't think they would let us have it!

@ Peter the Believer

Stanley Meyer was a fraud and the reason we use coal is because if we burnt trees, we'd have no trees left. We burn them much faster than they grow!

** There is a brave young man in Queensland, putting gas generators that generate Brown’s gas, or Hydrogen hydroxide **

Ah the old electrolyzer in the Nescafe tin under the bonnet trick. 3rd time I fell for it this week! What a scam tech that is. Please read back through the posts to understand that a rubber ball will never bounce higher than the height it was dropped from!

It is called the magic pudding !

Flubber? :D

You are preaching to the converted - agree with all your points.

As for your cheap source of energy, if you did possess such a device you'd be a dead man walking.

I have no doubt that many inventions - strike that....

Somewhere in an undeveloped country is a huge warehouse full of inventions that would solve all our problems, bring peace on earth and create a utopia. How could this heinous subterfuge occur? Because there is not enough money & power in peace and happiness.
