I decided that I might as well make this my christmas present to
the world this year. Being on the verge of the new millennium makes it
even more appropriate and besides, I never had the chance to give the world
a present before. I weighed the option of trying to make a buck or two
off of it first but I would have had to get all greedy and secretive to
do that and I don't want all of the hassles. Maybe, if I turn out to be
right, the world will give me something back anyway and that's better isn't
it? Even if I
got nothing back I'd be no worse off than I am now anyway would I?
Right then, let's get to it. Here's how you can
make water into a real, cheap, limitless source of fuel. One that will
replace all liquid and gaseous forms of fossil fuels forever. And one which
can be used TODAY because most systems that currently use fossil fuels
could be retrofitted to use this fuel. When you are finished reading this
you will probably think is is a rather stupidly obvious answer but that's
not my fault is it?
The first thing that we have to do is to think of water
as a conductor. Not just realize the fact that it will conduct electricity
but actually think of it as you would a piece of copper or aluminum
wire. Interestingly enough I read somewhere that there were experiments
being done one time on using little water filled tubes as conductors in
situations where high conductivity with low resistance was needed. So think
about it that way. Water as a piece of liquid wire (with electrolyte added).
Now let's look at the diagram of the simple electrolysis
cell from "Water, Part 4". Notice how the main electrical supply line from
the power source (Box P) feeds directly to the + terminal on the unit.
Then consider the water between the + terminal and the - terminal as a
conductor. One with high conductivity and low resistance. Sort of like
a splice in our normal copper feeder line. Picture cutting a copper wire
and then fastening a piece of aluminum wire between the cut ends. You end
will end up with a longer piece of total wire right? The basic ability
of the line to carry a charge would be unaffected.
If you wanted to be really picky such an arrangement would
put a few more variables into the mix since we are now using two totally
different conductors with different individual properties (copper is a
better conductor than aluminum for example). I don't think that the overall
performance of the line would be affected by that splice though. Do you?
Course not.
Now let's do the same thing but instead of using aluminum
wire let's put an electrolysis cell like the one in "Water, Part 4" in
and see what happens. Actually let's drop the EMF coil from it. We won't
need that any more. The thing that we have to see here is that water
is a difficult thing for us to use as a conductor because of it's rather
nasty habit of decomposing into a potentially explosive combination of
hydrogen and oxygen gasses whenever an electrical charge passes through
it. Here's where anyone doing research into using water as a conductor
would put water on the shelf and forget about it. In this scenario the
very gasses that we want to use for fuel are an annoyance.
Now keep that idea of water as a conductor in your mind.
Other than that little problem with decomposing it should behave pretty
much like any other conductor. Look at the diagram from part 4 again. See
how the supply line from the - side of the seperator/splice (new name for
our electrolysis cell) runs on out to carry power to do other work
and eventually to a ground
point somewhere? This is a crucially important thing to consider. After
all we didn't really use ANY electricity in our electrolysis cell did we?
Let that sink in for a moment.
We could figure some loss in because of resistance but
actually we lose less electricity by passing it through a seperator/splice
than we would in an equal length of copper due to copper's lower conductivity
and higher resistance. We do end up with some H2 and O2 gas though because
that is the inevitable by product of passing electricity through this conductor.
These by products (H2 and O2 gasses) are created no matter
how much electricity we use. Well actually there are probably lower end
limits but I feel that they would be too low to be of any importance to
us here. I used 12v,30a in my experiments and that worked just fine.
What IS important is the fact that when water is used
as a conductor and an electrical current is passed through it the conductive
material (water) decomposes into it's basic component parts at a rate that
is directly proportional to the amount of electricity that the conductor
is being made to carry. That is my new law for that phenomenon. It would
be easy to create tables (if they don't already exist) so that you could
know the exact rate of decomposition at various power inputs.
Ok so here's the biggie: "What happens if you add ANOTHER
seperator/splice directly in line after the first?
What if you added on another unit, and another and another.....?
You end up with an electrical transmission line that is made up of
small segments of two different conductors spliced together. The material
making up each of these "spliced in" pieces (water) having the unfortunate
tendency to decompose into a potentially explosive mixture of H2 and O2
at a rate that is directly proportional to the amount of electricity
that you are passing through your line.
In other words, if the line is
carrying a charge of say, 120v and 30a and this is the charge that exists
through EACH of the seperator/splices (as it will be) then EACH SPLICE
will decompose into it's components at the SAME RATE AND VOLUME AS IT WOULD
IF IT WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE SYSTEM!!
You see, all we had to do was
change the perspective from which we viewed the reality of the separator/splice
and suddenly we are able to perceive a whole new reality where H2
fuel gas is a free by-product of using water as an electrical conductor.
As a real world analogy think
about those strings of like 300 christmas lights. You know, the ones where
if one goes out then none of them will work. Well ok, they use the
higher resistance of the wire inside the light bulb to transform electrical
energy into heat and light energy but it wouldn't matter weather there
was one, ten or three hundred bulbs on the string of lights. They all burn
equally bright don't they? Same thing here. You could put 300 seperator/splices
on your line and
they would each act as individuals and EACH ONE& would put
out gas from it's decomposition in direct proportion to the amount
of energy passing through it as it would if it were the ONLY one on the
system.
So if we want to use the H2 gas that is produced by the
decomposition of the material that our splices are made of to power the
engine that we use to turn the generator at our power source then all we
have to do is figure out how many seperator/splices to make in our line
to generate the required quantity of gasses and then if we want H2 gas
to run other things we simply add more seperator/splices. ;-)
Coincidentally enough there has
been quite a bit of work done in the past by many fine scientists and amateurs
alike along these lines. The only problem is that they all (as far as I
know) deal with having one seperator/splice in the system.
We know, for example, that the energy that is released by burning
the H2 gas that is generated by the decomposition of our conductor (water)
is nearly equal to the amount of electrical energy that passes through
our conductor in a single seperator/splice. So in a perfect world we could
use that quantity of gas to power the motor that turns the generator that
produces the electricity that runs along the line and separates the water.
This however
is not a perfect world by any means and so quite a bit of the energy released
by burning the H2 gas never gets to be used to turn the generator. That
is the Second Law of Thermodynamics in a nutshell and it is also the idea
that has prevented us from making use of this fuel source before this.
Here is where the 2nd Law
was misapplied. In using the H2 as a fuel you are indeed transferring the
energy released by burning it into work energy which your motor transfers
to your generator where you end up turning what's left into electrical
energy but on the other end it's different and that is what I think that
everyone has missed up till now.
When electricity passes
through your seperator/splice you are NOT transferring the energy of that
electricity into the energy contained in the atoms of H2 and O2 gas! They
have plenty of their own. You are using that energy to pass through the
water and as it does, as a by product, it somehow interferes with the ability
of the H2 and O2 molecules to hold together. Consequently some of them
lose their grip and go on their merry way on their own.
You may lose some
of your charge due to resistance but none of it turns into H2 or O2 molecules
and so you have basically the same amount of electricity leaving the seperator/splice
as what you put into it to do with as you will.
There's the gift world. I hope
I'm right. Merry Christmas, Happy New Millennium! (Sorta hokey, ain't it?
