Hope you don't mind me hyjacking these :-)
HockeyGuy;
   The main reason that there's fuel topic on here is due to the fact that most fuels especially HHO and other forms of fuels is that there isn't any real hard evidence that they don't use more fuel than they offer.

Ethanol: done the way the big boys do : The tests are both sided one saying better the otehr saying NO, plus the on-going news stuff that its taking food from people's mouth. ALL please don't start on this thread about it.

BIO-Diesel, Again, virgin bio-D uses oils from plants. Same type of argument. Using WVO is another story, but the objections say the Methane used is caustic and dangerous.

H2,HHO, etc. Not a pure fuel, needs energy to be gotten to.
The forum here is mostly about getting energy to be used that's already available.

HHO is a very useful as an additive and or extender.

Cheers;

I agree that right now there is no evidence that HHO can be created for less energy than it delivers. However there is a lot of tinkering going on. There are videos on the internet and schematics for true HHO generators that are self sufficient. They are just very buggy. This board would be huge in developing these ideas because it is impossible for one person to come up with all the innovations. Many of the tinkers in this area started with wind and solar. At $3.50 a gallon, gas is much more expensive to buy then energy for the house. How about a category for fuels or maybe transportation? If you choose to add one or not, you guys still have about the best place out there for constructive help on self-sufficiency. Applause.

HockeyGuy;

You are new here so I will explain the policy DanB has in place regarding hydrogen, fuel cells, etc.

They are only topically if you have created a device that you are using. This is a D.I.Y. board and only here for workable devices to "create your electricity from scratch". No exceptions at this point in time. Even Diaries must follow these guidelines. Just how it is.

If it is not to your liking you can always petition DanB for a reconsideration of it. Otherwise its off topic.

Just a heads up because even going on about it in comments might get you in trouble with the Nazi that oversees the topicalness of the board [me].

Just FYI

Tom

VW-drivin', schnitzel-eatin', goose-steppin', Luger-carryin', fact-point-in-outin' TomW?
Where would the world be without someone doing that.

I honestly had no idea what the thing was.
Figured a dump load powered chilli pot.  :)

Glad to see it working well, whatever it is it does!

TomW;
   Thanks for jumping in. Back a couple years ago '06? there was a good round of discussion and it kind of just died out.
During those posts I was pretty much new and in hind sight feel pretty much lucky I didn't get a boot for it.

Tecker's stuff is pretty interesting to me in several ways.
Mostly 'cause it's built and working , but like Ghurd says looks like the chili pot that went missing from the last chilihead competition here in St.L last year:-O
Our's placed 11th out of 87 entrants.
Tecker were you here "visiting" St.Louis last September?:-)

The use of "dump" loads to power these for say assisited hot water or a low pressure storage to cook a few hot dogs on the grill is a neat idea.

If you and Admin don't mind letting him to continue posting of these I'd very much be interested in them BUT only in the diaries area like the rules state.

I do want to state what we here all know, H2 in our current world must be made by the use of energy it's not floating around like it does on other planets.

And thanks for the extra latitude on this post.

I like eine beer mit Brotchen unt Rindwurst bitte...

Probst!!
