Working for the Benefit of Humanity ... Rather than the "Special Interests"

There is a Much Better Way to provide for All of our Energy Needs
.
It starts by Increasing Efficiency in the various energy systems, devices
and vehicles which help power our economies and civilization itself.

Furthermore, we should not be bound to nuclear energy, which steadily emits large amounts of tritium
and other harmful and dangerous components into our environment, nor should we be bound to
costly, inefficient and intermittent alternative energy sources like wind and solar.

Presenting a Logical and Rational path to cost-effective Green Energy
Presenting a method for producing cost-effective energy which is far safer than using nuclear power. This method holds the potential for reducing energy costs to consumers and for helping to improve economies. This method is much safer in the event of a massive earthquake or other major natural disaster and is less prone to damage than are large-scale nuclear, hydroelectric and windpower installations.

In the event of a major disaster, the method presented in this website eliminates the potential for radiation leakage and nuclear crisis. It is also much safer in the event of a terrorist attack or if a terrorist organization were to take over one or more installations. It is also much quicker to rebuild and put back into service, in the event of destruction by terrorist acts or major natural disasters, than are large-scale nuclear, hydroelectric and windpower installations.

The technology presented in this website brings us back to the simplicity of safe energy production. Along with this simplicity comes many important advantages. Beside the advantages noted above, this technology is far less costly to implement than are large nuclear, hydroelectric and windpower installations. Last, but not least: this technology is environmental friendly and can be safely located directly within metropolitan areas.

The Prototype Project
So, how do we go about improving the efficiency of our numerous energy and engine systems so we can improve the overall energy and environmental situation in our nation and the world?

For starters, the author is working on a special prototype project which holds the potential for greatly increasing the energy efficiency in our many engine systems. General information about the prototype project is presented in the report accessed via the button below.

Multipurpose Technology
The technology shown within this website can be used to create safe, efficient and environmental-friendly electrical generating plants of all sizes: from small scale plants to large scale, regional installations. The nature of these plants allow them to be located conveniently near the point of end use.

The technology shown herein can also be used to increase efficiency and economy in the transportation sector, while holding the potential for greatly reducing harmful emissions. This technology is aimed at engine-driven devices of all sizes and has the potential for helping to make nations more energy-independent.

Problems and Solutions

We have some serious problems in our world. The challenge is deciphering core issues, so logical and beneficial solutions may be presented for implementation. Two areas where problems exist are in the energy and environmental arenas. These two arenas do not necessarily need to be diametrically opposed to one another. It is important to note that our many engines are necessary for powering and upholding civilization. But, it should also be noted that our engines do not need to emit the volume of harmful factors which they now emit, nor do they need to be as wasteful of their fuel as they currently are, because of the way their systems are configured. Because of the fuel and energy waste in our engines, the United States is forced to import foreign oil. For more than two decades, the United States has been a debtor nation. It has borrowed approximately $1 billion each working day from world financial institutions, just to import the oil necessary to keep the U.S. operating. Now, to use a popular saying and put it to a good use. It is time to think globally and act locally. It is time to clean up some major energy, economic, political and environmental problems in our own nation, and then be free enough to turn and help the rest of the world. This site examines problems and presents money-saving solutions.
An Orderly Read		This site presents one method which has a potential for producing a cost-effective reduction in greenhouse gases and other harmful pollution. This method can also work to eliminate energy shortages.
		The need for foreign oil can be eliminated. The lower quality of life for many peoples around the world can be cost-effectively improved. The damage to our relatively fragile environment can also be improved, even at a savings of money to civilization. All it takes is working together on a viable solution, such as that presented in this website.
	To obtain a true understanding of the problems facing the civilized world in the energy and environmental arenas, it may be necessary to examine certain political, industrial and economic forces, plus governmental agencies, before the necessary changes can be made which allow for the future well-being of humanity.

A Major Waste of Fuel and Energy Resources, plus Environmental Problems

FACT: The engines currently used in autos, transportation, and industry are extremely inefficient. They waste up to 80% of their fuel's heat energy. In essence, that is like throwing away up to 80% of the fuel which is purchased in this nation.

FACT: Wasted fuel causes countries, like the United States and others, to be dependent on foreign oil. Time has proven that this dependence can often result in wars and the needless destruction of lives. All of the wasted energy and major demand for foreign oil causes a detrimental trade imbalance, plus increases the national debt and harms the economy. Furthermore, all of these issues work to create a serious national security problem.

FACT: All of the wasted heat energy from engines (up to 80% waste) is spewed into the surrounding environment. This problem is simply a result of the way engines are currently configured. In essence, every motor vehicle being driven, every piece of engine-driven equipment being operated, is an environmental heater. Up to 80% of its fuel's heat energy is being used to heat the environment. There are millions of environmental-heaters in operation every day. It does not need to be this way.

Fundamental Problems in our Engines and Fuel Supply

FACT: The induction of a liquid fuel into engines, plus improper combustion controls, are the main reasons why these engines emit harmful emissions (HC, CO, NOx, and heat). As most of us have heard at one time or another: liquid fuel does not burn. It is only the vapors of the fuel which can burn. So, why not induct a vaporous or gasified fuel into our engines in the first place? This can work to potentially solve a number of problems.

FACT: The induction of a non-uniform, liquid fuel "splatter mixture" into an engine creates air/fuel mixture-balance and power balance problems between cylinders. This works to reduce the maximum performance potential of an engine. By using a vaporous or gasified fuel system on our engines, along with proper combustion controls, optimal fuel-mixture and power balance, plus optimal performance can readily be obtained.

FACT: Inadequate or reduced refinery capacity can be harmful to countries and economies. Problems at refineries often result in higher fuel prices or even fuel rationing. By implementation of the technology shown in this website, load and demand on refineries may be greatly reduced.

FACT: The technology presented in this site may allow engines to operate cleanly and efficiently even on straight crude oil, plus an array of other fuels, with relatively minor cleaning of the fuel. In essence, the compact refinery required to produce an engine-friendly fuel will reside directly within the engine compartment of the typical motor vehicle or industrial plant.

Included in this Website

FACT: Once again, our engines waste up to 80% of their fuel's heat energy. The technology presented in this site can allow an engine to convert a much larger percentage of its fuel's heat energy into usable power, directly within the engine cylinder. This translates into higher fuel mileage and engine efficiency, with better performance and power output: while allowing for a drastic reduction in harmful emissions (HC, CO, NOx, and heat).

FACT: This site presents a method with the potential for drastically reducing carbon dioxide emissions from engines, per time-unit of engine operation or per mile of travel. This translates to a potential for less greenhouse gases being added to our environment each day, without causing economic harm or other negative situations for the user. The technology presented in this site can make engines much safer and more environmental-friendly.

FACT: This site presents a rational method for producing a win-win situation for the environment and the consumer, especially considering that the consumer could spend far less money for their energy needs, while helping to improve the environment by implementing the processes presented herein. It could also help to make the consumer more independent and free, by reducing bondage to the "energy barons". It is time to break the chains which bind us.

Added Benefits

FACT: With a drastic reduction in energy costs, construction projects could readily progress which could help improve the quality of life for many people around this world. It could help to reduce water shortages and famine. Seawater desalinization and water purification plants could operate at a much lower cost. Farmers could better work their fields for higher crop yield per section of ground. Because of reduced fuel costs, shipping costs could be reduced. This could result in a lower cost for goods and services to the consumer.

FACT: The project presented in this site does hold the potential for increasing the prosperity of common citizens and user nations. Would you like to see the economy of our nation, and that of the world, truly "jump started" and made healthy again? Then it is worthwhile considering the project presented in this website.

Our True Energy Potential

It is time to examine our true energy potential. At this point, one important question must be asked. How much energy is there in each gallon of gasoline? The answer may shock you. In the 1940's, engineers working in the petroleum industry declared that there is enough energy in each gallon of gasoline to propel a relatively lightweight vehicle 480 miles along a level road. They declared that their challenge was finding out how to unlock all this energy from the complex molecules in gasoline. Now, for a closer look at what can and has been done with gasoline.

In the 1930's, Charles Pogue was obtaining 209 miles per gallon of gasoline in a standard two-ton Ford sedan, with a V8 engine. His special fuel system readily allowed for all this fuel mileage. What was Pogue doing to the gasoline in his fuel system to obtain this high fuel mileage? First, Pogue was heating gasoline vapors, using exhaust heat with a temperature in the neighborhood of 500-1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Let us now look more closely at what was happening.

Above a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit, gasoline molecules begin to rapidly break down into a much larger volume of usable gaseous fuels. Pogue was thermal-cracking the gasoline molecules to make available the large amount of energy contained in them. In essence, Pogue created something similar to an early "propane" fuel system for motor vehicles, using gasoline as the "base fuel". And yes, a propane system, with the proper combustion controls, can give excellent performance, with low emissions.

Now for a closer look at gasoline. One U.S. gallon of gasoline contains up to about 125,000 Btu's or 36.6 kilowatt-hours of energy. An Imperial gallon, being larger, contains up to about 150,100 Btu's or 43.9 kilowatt-hours of energy. This amount of energy is equal to about 116 million foot-pounds of force, or more than 57 horsepower-hours. Let us put this amount of energy into perspective. It is said that the amount of energy in a gallon of gasoline can be enough to lift a 3,000 pound car about 37,660 feet, straight up in the air. This is a distance similar to that from sea level to the top of Mount Everest and beyond.

Now, we are not looking to lift a car straight up in the air: which requires a lot of energy per distance of travel. All we want to do is propel a typical car along a typical roadway. At 60 miles per hour, it takes about 10 to 20 horsepower for the typical car to maintain its speed. The energy in a gallon of gasoline could therefore allow the typical car to travel a distance up to 170 to 340 miles, if virtually all the energy was used to move the vehicle. It is well-known that our motor vehicles are very inefficient. Yes, there is a lot of room for improvement. But now, let us turn to an important question.

What can be done to unlock the vast amount of energy contained in each gallon of gasoline, plus create even more energy? What if simple, ordinary water was one inexpensive key which could readily unlock all this energy? Yes, the "unlocking" process must take place in a special environment. That special environment is within a unique gasifier. In the "unlocking" process, both the gasoline and the water are converted into a much larger volume of environmental-friendly fuel: a fuel commonly called syngas. The compact gasifier which safely performs all this high-mileage fuel conversion would reside in the engine compartment of a typical motor vehicle or industrial plant.

The large volume of syngas, created using one gallon of gasoline, should contain much more energy than that which was originally stored within just the gallon of gasoline. In this case, a large portion of the energy contained in the gallon of gasoline, plus that contained in the amount of water used in the conversion process, are available for usable power production. By use of the syngas process, along with the proper combustion controls, we may greatly increase the mileage or fuel economy which can be obtained in the typical transportation or agricultural vehicle, or in industrial or electrical generating plants, for each gallon of gasoline used. But there is more to this story.

When using the author's complete technology, a major portion of the heat created in the engine cylinder by the burning of a fuel is not wasted out the exhaust and cooling systems, as occurs in current engines. Instead, the fuel's heat energy is used directly in the engine cylinder to produce even more power output from the engine. Furthermore, when using the author's complete technology, engines can be made to operate on an array of hydrocarbon fuels. Welcome to the world of the multi-fuel, combined-cycle, combustion-steam engine.

BOTTOM LINE: Thoroughly study this informative site to understand the basic physical and chemical principles upon which multi-fuel, combined-cycle, combustion-steam technology operates. If you have questions or comments, the author would appreciate hearing from you. There is a lot of potential for this technology, both now and in the future.
