Perhaps Rick should review the link to the Carbon War Room before passing judgement in this regard.

Those who sit on the sidelines will be sleeping in the cold, as the other truckers pass them by.

Perhaps a quote from an older more famous individual will put a question in your mind...

"I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable...

... Water will be the coal of the future."

Jules Verne,

The Mysterious Island, 1874

Rudolf Diesel (born Paris 1858) noted that steam engines were only 10% efficient, wasting up to 90% of the energy available in the fuel, and was driven by the goal of achieving much higher efficiency ratios.

• In 1898 he was granted a patent for what has become known as the Diesel engine. That first Diesel engine was 26% efficient.

• While much refined and improved, the energy conversion efficiency of diesel engines today is roughly 42-50%, with higher efficiency models being designed that aim for 60%.

• It is that significant gap in efficiency where this fuel cell product provides benefit. The dynamically adjusted volume of hydrogen and oxygen gases produced become an intelligently controlled additive to the diesel fuel- air mix to improve combustion efficiency. Greater efficiency of the combustion means better fuel economy and emissions reduction. Hydrogen also merits a higher octane rating than diesel fuel.

Perhaps those of you who are still unsure and want to know more should do their own thinking and homework.

If you wish to speak with the manufacturers, send a reply, or call.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
