As it was reported on main news channels, such as FOX NEWS, a gas car
could be powered by water. Many researchers tried to make this happen,
some succeeded. The best gas mileage car in the USA actually has a
converter which allows you to burn water as fuel.
This little secret, being hidden by major oil companies was finally
revealed to public back in 1998. An inventor succeeds converting his
car to use water as fuel. He has been threatened by many companies but
he stuck to his original plan and was capable of converting his car to
run on water fuel cells.
Simple bolt-ons added to your car would allow it to use water as gas
and make an important increase in fuel economy. It does not damage
your engine - in fact it cleans it and makes it much quieter and long
lasting and is completely untraceable. At any time you could take
these parts off of your car and no one will ever know you had this
great system installed.
This amazing invention could be installed by almost anyone and the
parts will cost you only couple of dollars - but you might already
have everything needed in your house. When installed, you will be able
to use water as gas and get the best gas mileage you ever thought was
possible. Some people using this technique reported that they were ...

Hi All,
I hope this is a good place to ask the question. If not....
Due to an upcoming solar installation, I have recently started
changing / monitoring things in my house that consume electricity.
Quick details:
Fridge is a double door LG something or other. Rated A.
On Saturday I was doing some work on lights and had the power off for
about 4 hours.
When I turned it back on, I had a look at the fridge's display. The
freezer was -5 and the fridge was 5.
After about 20-30 minutes, the fridge was still 5 and the freezer was
-24. These are the settings they are supposed to be on.
My question is why would the freezer loose (gain?) so much temperature
while the fridge does not. I accept the difference between temperature
differs of fridge and freezer but to drop by that much?
One thing that could explain it is the fridge was mostly full while
the freezer was mostly empty. The lack of thermal mass in the freezer
causes it to warm up quicker? (Should I fill it with bricks? :) )
TIA

Windmills disrupt the flow of atmospheric gasses of our planet causing an
uneven heating and cooling of the Earth by the Sun. Very few people have
picked up on this but calculated estimates by the worlds...

Hey folks. I think we're about to be introduced to peak demand
pricing here in Texas along with a general rate hike. I run a small
personal data center at home since we have fiber here with unlimited
bandwidth. I use a good amount of power. I have been using my watt
meter lately to record and trend devices and have made many power
saving advances because of it, but nonetheless, I use power. We also
have poor line power here so during rainstorms the power can be off
for hours. I need a backup genset because of that, but Id also like
to consider using it to produce my own power at peak rate times from
natural gas.
So I have some questions:
1. How do I go about investigating and calculating the rate of
consumption of natural gas on a genset that I havent bought yet and
then calculate the cost of operation per hour to compare to line
rates?

Actually I wanted to voice y ideas for an efficient idea for transport for
most people.
In my case the majority of my driving is smaller trips less than 30
kilometres. Commuters would perhaps travel 50 kms given the spread of cities
perhaps slightly more.
So instead of building hybrid cars...

From the report, "...for a system that is designed for long discharges, but
is subjected to frequent shallow discharges...the high-rate battery will
receive the brunt of the cycling duty, and may age prematurely..."
I read that as saying mixing two different capacity strings for a system
such as solar that is going to be charged/discharged on an almost daily
basis, the higher-capacity string is going to take the brunt of the cycling
and fail early. So mixing different capacity batteries in a system that
sees frequent shallow discharges (such as an off-grid solar installation)
would be less than the best solution from a battery life standpoint.
