Trevor Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I get the maximum magnetic cyclonification effect. I caught that in Mexico once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Anyone watch Mythbusters last night? They tested the magnets, a 300 mpg carburetor, and an electrolysis thing that produced hydrogen which was supposed to run the car. None worked of course, but it was pretty entertaining when they took a tank of compressed hydrogen and got one of the cars to run on it just by blowing a little hydrogen directly into the carb. Thought that was pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was pretty cool! Your car should run pretty clean on hydrogen, although in order to get the same range as gasoline, your gas tank would have to be 2.75X bigger and store it either at -253C or at an extreamly high pressure no doubt 20ga sheetmetal wouldn't be enough, so you'll add weight there. http://www.clean-air.org/Hydrogen%20Cobra%20Story/Hydrogen%20Cobra.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 jmortensen if you think metalic dust in the gas works you need to try CARBORUNDUM paste valve grinding compound added to your OIL, it almost instantly increases the bearing clearances, increases oil flow,lowers oil flow resistance thru the engine, increases valve guide clearances. loosens rockers, pollishes lifter bores and generally increases oil flow everywhere why have all that power robbing friction when smply adding a single $4 tube to your oil will remove a good deal of the contact area between the cylinder walls and rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 AWSOME! That'll really cut down friction! Will that work on fuel cells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read on the amount of hydrogen they can store using there method. Hydrides. http://www.switch2hydrogen.com/h2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 You should check this. Read on the amount of hydrogen they can store using there method. Hydrides. http://www.switch2hydrogen.com/h2.htm There is something extremely fishy about that site. They list all these products and make all these claims about what they can do, but none of their products are actually available yet, all the prices are approximate, they say don't call them because all of their info is on the web site and yet their web site is basically nothing but a top level sales brochure. Plus they cry "the government" is trying to shut them down. Plus their claim that there solar generator will make hydrogen "at near zero cost" is totally moronic. They don't have a price on their hydrogen generator, but they do sell 80 watt solar panels (at $425 each) and say it takes a minimum of 5 to run the hydrogen generator. With only 400 watts of output and figure a 70% hydrogen conversion efficiency, that $2125 solar panel + hydrogen generator might kick out enough hydroden to equal about a gallon of gas a week. And that is only if the sun shines all week. This link http://www.aip.org/tip/INPHFA/vol-10/iss-1/p20.html talks about hydrides and says a tank large enough to hold 5 kg of hydrogen (maybe 10 gallons of gas) weights 360 kg. Did they really add a 1500+ pound tank to that vette to get their 450 mile range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Not exactly hydrogen but looks very promising. Guy uses water to weld and to also power his car. http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1147691355/Water_Power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
