Fuelish Ideas:
Water is separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen using ultra high voltage as illustrated in the slides above.
I am following the Stan Meyer approach to creating fuel from water. I have a few new ideas which were not documented in any of his writings. This has become a pet project, but has greater potential than anything I have ever worked on yet. The concept is to split water very efficiently so a cheap reusable fuel is created. Hydrogen and Oxygen combine during combustion to produce water.
How can this work? Most scientifically minded people know the law concerning conservation of energy. This law applies quite well at the macro level. However there seems to be some gaps in it at the micro level. Many of the atomic and sub atomic processes are not fully understood. Forces are being identified at this level quite frequently.
Another fact that is ignored or outright dismissed is resonance. The parts of this phenomenon that are understood clearly define the Quality Factor. Briefly, this attribute defines how much energy is used each cycle divided by how much is added each cycle. Would it surprise you to know that there are many conditions that create a quality factor greater than one? Many of the circuits that may be built show a multiplication factor of 10, 100, 1000 or more. The greatest efficiency I have seen documented is with a quartz crystal from a crystal radio set. The quality factor is estimated at 20,000. How is that for a multiplier? Resonance has been used extensively in radio, TV, audio filtering, etc. for years. When this concept is applied to the power/energy problem effectively, lookout!
I expect to see this revolutionize our world.
Aquaponics:
In my search for alternative energy, I came across a web site stating that 1 million pounds of food could be grown on three acres. After investigating this claim I became highly interested in aquaponics. This is the combination of growing plants with water and the raising of fish in a symbiotic relationship. The plants use the waste from the fish as nutrient fertilizer. The water in turn is cleaned and filtered so the fish are healthier.
My focus was quickly drawn toward Tilapia. They are a good source of food and they reproduce quite rapidly. One challenge is that they are tropical. They need water that is 85 degrees F to thrive. Applying heat to the water during the winter time is difficult but there are certain industries that discard heat regularly. I hope to partner with one of these to create a growing business (literally).
One of the biggest costs with fish is their food. If food can be grown or cheaply obtained then the harvesting of fish becomes profitable. This led me to the discovery of Duckweed. This tiny water flower is amazing. It can reproduce faster than any plant I know about. It seems to grow in adverse circumstances and that makes it ideal. Its protein content is very high. Fish, birds and livestock can eat it.
