Molecular bonding model

My main concern is that "molecular bonding model" doesn't seem to be a widely used term at all; I couldn't find any sources using this term at all, and therefore I believe it to be a neologism.Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 03:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that one academic paper is going to cut it. Also, please don't forget to categorize the pages that you make; I've tagged most of your creations so far as uncategorized. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 04:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Chemical bonding model

I have nominated Chemical bonding model, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chemical bonding model. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 23:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep hanging in there. If the article gets deleted, we can always work to use some of the ideas elsewhere. Sorry I can not be more active right now, but I'm very busy. Keep in touch. I really would like to get these issues resolved. --Bduke (talk) 09:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Ligand

Thanks for the note. You've done excellent work on ligand. My slight concern is that you not dedicate your obvious skills on producing material that could prove semi-redundant with existing articles. But it is nice to see someone improve big articles vs create nichey ones.--Smokefoot (talk) 18:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Schlenk flask

OMCV - Great images ~ thanks for uploading them!

The gallery is always a nice option. Personally, I'd have a thumb-sized image next to each item. I think for "readably" it is nice to have the text interspersed with a few "pretty" things! PS don't worry about the few whistles, bangs and warnings posted above - everyone tramples about a bit when they start on wikipedia, I’m always forgetting to sign my posts (and getting told off) – you’re doing some very good quality edits so keep it up! Again thank for taking the photos and uploading them. - Quantockgoblin (talk) 16:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re your messages on User talk:Slashme: Don't worry about grammar too much if that's not your strong point. We all contribute what we can; if you can add content which needs to be copy-edited, it's better that the content go up now in an imperfect form than tomorrow in a polished form. But that's just my opinion. If you like, you can always check the page history and see who last did a copy-edit: drop them a note if you are unsure of some text and they might swing by and polish a bit. Anyway, keep up the good work! --Slashme (talk) 08:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I've given the article a quick once-over. Note the use of septum (singular) and septa (plural). Anyway, thanks again for your well-informed edits! --Slashme (talk) 08:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Straus flask or Strauss flask?

Hi, I see on Google Scholar that "Strauss" is used in more publications than "Straus", but I can't find either on Google Books. Do you have a citation to confirm the correct spelling? If so, this should go into the article, because then it's a commonly misspelled term. --Slashme (talk) 09:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I was looking up stuff on glassware to improve the valve section and found this on the Straus flask[1]. Basically I based the change to Straus on Kontes literature (catalog) and the fact that they claim to have created it. Prior to putting up this change I didn't know that Straus flask might be some sort of brand. If you can find something more conclusive that would be great and we put it as whatever is best. Regardless someone should definitely add a sentence about the two common spellings, who ever get around to it first I guess.--OMCV (talk) 15:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

This seems like a good idea. I'll put in something and then later editors can streamline it. --Slashme (talk) 11:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Some Info on Lean Air/Fuel Ratios (Electrolysis Scams)

Yes the majority of the fuel does burn, but resulting from incomplete combustion is sludge buildup in the engine. Unburnt HC emissions in the exhaust, along with the need for a catalytic converter is evidence of incomplete combustion. Monoxides are combustible, and the only reason a catalytic converter is needed is to convert these into dioxides. The addition of hydrogen to the combustion process facilitates the combustion of monoxides into dioxides in the engine, thus eliminating the need for a catalytic converter. Plus, at air/fuel ratios great than 30:1 the temperature of combustion is substantially reduced, thus the practical elimination of NOx formation.

I agree with everything else in the scams section. You are right on with most of your information and understanding. Lean burn engines are viable tho, and have been researched for decades. Also, you must draw a line with Brown's Gas; yes the name is invoked in scams, but Brown's Gas refers to simply a particular electrolyzer design (common ducted). Therefore you would be more accurate saying that "Brown's Gas is invoked in scams", but the technology as defined in the patents cannot be a scam. Noah Seidman (talk) 16:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

The academic articles in oxyhydrogen, and hydrogen fuel enhancement should help clarify some things. The academic publications are from multiple and diverse sources. These publications are from all around the country. Yes, the vast majority of purported systems are scams. The foundation for fuel enhancement is lean burn engines. Any so called fuel enhancement system that does not override the ECU, or provide a means of achieving greater than 30:1 air/fuel ratios is definitively a scam. Noah Seidman (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I've responded on the talk page of Electrolysis of water where I will conduct all future correspondences on the subject.
I will say here that I am very concerned with the information provided on oxyhydrogen, hydrogen fuel enhancement, and Internal combustion engine#Engine Efficiency.
I would also like to add that the US patents offices primary concern is not to filter the factuality of claims but the legal right to claims. Although there at statutes against unproven claims many slip through due to the overall legal structure. In fact multiple nonfunctional perpetual motion machines have been successfully patented.--OMCV (talk) 03:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Noah Seidman

My intent has always been to separate the scam from the real. The academia on the subject of fuel enhancement I have always felt substantiates my passion for the concept. Albeit I only have a Bachelors of Electrical Engineering, and am no where near a PHd in Chemistry I feel I do have a fair amount of knowledge that is not completely useless nor incorrect. Considering the publications referenced in hydrogen fuel enhancement am I wasting my time with a futile technology? Is it completely impossible to increase the economy of an IC engine by operating it under ultra lean conditions? Is there no benefit to the ultra lean burn concept? Please understand my situation, I am only 25 and have been involved with this tech since my sophomore year in college; can all of this time invested in curricular and extracurricular education been a waste?

I hope all the best for you and expect you will do fine. You are very well spoken and will find success easily. What you have learned about engines will serve you well as the cost of fuel rise whether you chose to work on substance or fraud. The study of fuel mixtures is very important and complex. That is why I haven't started working on hydrogen fuel enhancement I need to do the necessary research. I am certain that on board electrolysis will never be more than a scam but perhaps there is a setting in which filling up a gasoline and hydrogen tank would make sense.
My concern on wikipedia before all other things is the factuality of the information, both stated and implied. The way hydrogen fuel enhancement presents its gasoline/hydrogen fuel mixture information strays very close to the run you car on hydrogen scam.--OMCV (talk) 04:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Electrolysis of water

I've removed the science fraud section from the article. Firstly it isn't a science fraud, but a consumer fraud. Ther is a lot of hype out there concerning this, but a long detailed section in the electrolysis of water article was perhaps a bit out of place - a brief note and link to Hydrogen fuel enhancement would likely be adequate. The most serious problem was the lack of sources - as it was written the section was simply original research. The only inline links/refs were to youtube and news hype promotion. If such a section is to be added to the article, it should be short and adequately sourced. Vsmith (talk) 13:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it needs to be referenced but just because its not referenced does not make it original research its simply unreferenced. Before I reestablish the section I will have it fully referenced.
There are various forms of fraud all involve some sort of "false representation". This "representation" speaks to information which can relate to counterfeit goods, fabricated financial records, or technical information. The engine modifaction fraud on consumers and investors is based around technical information. Technical information has a scientific basis, or rather attributed scientific basis. Scientific fraud is not limited to referred journals, journals which appear to be referred, and proposal to funding agencies. Scientific fraud occurs whenever a person or group claiming to part of the scientific community provides information which they known is false to any form of media.
In the case of the engine modification the attributed scientific basis of the fraud is electrolysis of water. Hydrogen fuel enhancement is a page based largely on original, questionable or misreferenced research. Nor is hydrogen fuel enhancement the primary method to refer to the scam.
Outside the classroom water electrolysis is used in three primary major applications. First is the partial electrolysis of water to produce chlorine. The second use is the full electrolysis of water used in many oxyhydrogen torches. Finally perhaps the most well publicized attributed use of water electrolysis is in these engine modifications. It is because of the significance of these engine modifications the section was as long as it was, however I would prefer a short section. After you have a chance to look it over I was wondering if you would want to help with the content of the section Vsmith.--OMCV (talk) 04:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


Would you mind having a look at the last 2 edits to oxyhydrogen and either confirming that 'Automotive' doesnt belong or reverting its removal? Thanks! Just looking for another opinion... Guyonthesubway (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I think you have a good point and I'll offer whatever support I can on the talk pages. Its amazing how controversial this subject is at times. The hardest part is that its extremely difficult to find relevant references for this subject matter since it so far from main stream science.--OMCV (talk) 06:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thought you might find this interesting... apparently hydrogen actually -was- the gas of choice for limelight... http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/moa/pageviewer?frames=1&coll=moa&view=50&root=%2Fmoa%2Fcent%2Fcent0025%2F&tif=00807.TIF —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.2.7 (talk) 20:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I figured that it was more likely that town gas was used for all gas based lighting purposes. Hydrogen is just so unwieldy but I guess limelight was a specialty purpose that made it worth while.--OMCV (talk) 04:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

assumes good faith etc

"Help people are building perpetual motion machines"; one scientist said to another. The other scientist responds: "but that is impossible". The first states: "but I've seen it and it has real science behind it." The other responds: "Then you are a loon." A forth scientist enters the room, the second jumps up and states "He believes in perpetual motion devices!" There is some mumbling about zero point energy, Æther and virtualized particles but the laughter attracted more attention. 2 + 3 laugh till the end of time and rub themselves with what little petroleum they have left.

the end

Gdewilde (talk) 21:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

What pertinence does this have on anything? Please explain your self.--OMCV (talk) 22:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
It's a story about mankind riding the sled of ignorance down the petroleum hill. I'm sorry it wasn't clear enough. The garage inventors do transmutation of elements then make endothermic implosions in what we call plasma reactors[[2]] Read C. P. Kouropoulos[[3]] for example.
I cant help but wonder where are the lab results and where are the peer review papers? Not even a news article? ghee....
Dan Haley witnessed how the DEO witnessed how transmutation of radioactive materials was accomplished. He also witnessed how 3 months later they claimed to have seen nothing.[[4]]
“Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static, our hopes are in vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.” - Nicola Tesla - many generations ago
John Ernst Worrell Keely was of course already doing that when Tesla was still in diapers. lol Gdewilde (talk) 05:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
I still don't know what this is pertinent to? How does what you say concern me? Do you want me to comment on the validity of the material you are presenting or perhaps interpenetrate what it means? I apologies for not playing this poetic game you seem to fancy but this material is best dealt with in direct prose.--OMCV (talk) 07:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Plethora or added sections

What is the point of all of these edits? None of them refer to reliable sources. Sources such as science fiction, youtube, nightly news, and patents are notoriously unreliable for scientific information, each for various reasons. Respectfully, please explain your intent with these additions Go-here.nl. Thank you.--OMCV (talk) 03:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Moving this line of dialogue to your talk page is not a response or an appropriate course of action. The sub-subjects below were added as a group and its valid to discuss them as a group. I repeat for the third time now, none of this material below cites recognized material. The efforts people have made to dispute these claims individually has been overly generous to the individual who original posted them.--OMCV (talk) 00:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
I went looking for where you moved this discussion. I then realized you simply blanked the discussion which is unacceptable. If you want to discuss something with me off this page feel free to start a conversation with me on my talk page but don't remove my text from a talk page.--OMCV (talk) 01:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Gdewilde most recently moved this to a new section titled "should we have this on a talk page?". I have reverted it to its original position because I clearly think we should discuss this. The concerns I have highlighted, mainly the importance of sourcing questionable information are significant. Gdewilde has yet to respond to this. Instead Gdewilde has blanked this text and now moved this text. After this edit I will be researching the technical rules on altering others text and related sanctions since Gdewilde clearly doesn't understand the spirit.--OMCV (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The Ignore all rules tenant is not a valid reason to blank text on a talk page nor is this a matter of Gdewildes editing pattern as is suggested in the edit summary in which the page was blanked. The concern of this text is value of the content added below en mass. Its true this section does not address material in the main article but it does address material in the articles talk page which hopefully never becomes part of the main article. The concern is that these sections deal with controversial fringe ideas and are not referenced to any reliable sources. This is the fifth time I've raised this point without a response other than having the text deleted.--OMCV (talk) 17:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

You added negative toned headers to my postings and complaint about my presence on the talk page. In contrast with your claims your discussion topic has no place on the talk page. I'm not the article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines

Then we have this:

This article is restricted to those cars or motors which purport to extract their energy directly from water, a process which would violate the first and/or second laws of thermodynamics.

So, there wont be any peer reviews either. I hope there will be but for now it is an article about Urban myths. You are confused, you think it is an article about science.

Pasted from Talk:Water-fuelled car

This is a portion of text that once appeared on this page. It was top posted above a series of edits now listed as 24 added sections. The user formerly known as Go-here.nl and currently known as Gdewilde didn't feel this text was pertinent to the article and thus repeatedly blanked this text then finally moved the text to my talk page User_talk:OMCV. There are some important questions of this article's perspective addressed in this exchange so I have returned a portion of the text to this page. At the end of the text I will respond to what Gdewilde has offered in their text.--OMCV (talk) 20:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

This article is about an urban myth and a common commercial and scientific fraud with claimed physical phenomenons. While this might not be a page about functional science the claimed physical phenomenon makes it best dealt with through a science perspective. It is common for those with vested interests in these frauds to spam, subvert, and vandalize this page. It is possible that any given author has such a vested interest. The talk page is a good place to feel this out. Since the user name Go-here.nl was tied to a website associated with these frauds I might have been overly suspicious of the associated edits. The question is what is to be done with the endless flow of popular print media, science fiction, youtube, nightly news, and patents? How are they to be treated on talk pages and in the text itself?--OMCV (talk) 20:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

LOL!

This is a GEET engine, it does transmutation of elements and it makes endothermic implosions drawering heat gradients from it's environments.

http://www.rexresearch.com/pantone/geetbig1.jpg

You claim to have a PhD in inorganic chemistry with an interest in energy related chemistry/issues.

Furthermore hereabove you annotated: While this might not be a page about functional science the claimed physical phenomenon makes it best dealt with through a science perspective.

The incredulous sources can be used to clear things up for the other talk page editors. We have to be extremely careful not to do wp:original research on the topic. But still, anything that what is an urban myth today can unfold in both a hoax and an actual technology. We can state current science doesn't allow for the technology.

Like when I give you a picture of a plasma reactor it becomes perfectly clear the last thing a PhD is interested in is how it works. Why would you want to know how it works if you can.....

"It is common for those with vested interests in these frauds to spam, subvert, and vandalize this page. It is possible that any given author has such a vested interest.

O noes! No no no! You are actually the one sending the traffic to my homepage. All those editors had to visit my homepage to see if it was nasty enough to complaint about. The domain name was there for you, an editor working at the same article. It was my means of identification. It doesn't begin to be disturbing until you make it the parent topic of my contributions! I really don't want those visitors, they are suppose to work at the article here not view my website. I will horribly confuse them. You then progressed to say everything I posted was bogus. If people are still not visiting my website at this stage...

The wind powered car I design is 100% abandon ware. It utilises inflatable body that works like an air bag thus therefor allowing for a light weight high speed vehicle that is also safe! This means you can do what you like with the invention and it doesn't need water to fuel it! The challenge of this invention was to make a perpetual car that doesn't involve technology people do not understand. Of course physicists naysayers claim it doesn't capture more wind while driving up the wind. And again they do fantastic heavier than air reasoning again in the face of working models again. Just like the last time and the time before and the time before that.... that sentence is intentionally boring I can tell you that much.

The article is for heavier than air automobiles that use fuel (water to be specific) For you specific the GEET is a suitable subject.

"The question is what is to be done with the endless flow of popular print media, science fiction, youtube, nightly news, and patents? How are they to be treated on talk pages and in the text itself?"

What about you learn how it works sir?? Mkay? Is that such a weird thing? I mean you are the PhD? Write us a paper about it?

http://www.rexresearch.com/pantone/pantone.htm

Stop the cheap skating I hear that crap the year round. Lets see you (the professional) figure out how the GEET works.

For crying out loud your colleagues have denounced the device and everyone around it a hoax while being willfully ignorant towards the fact there are working models.

That's not science.....

The lack of good technology is the direct cause of mass death and a petroleum clock that runs 5 times as fast as it should burning off precious time we need to develop further alternatives.

Your professional opinion that something is a nothing is deemed far more valuable then that of some garage inventor or a farmer. That flapping your arms up and down and claiming to be in need of 3rd party peer reviews is highly unsientific. You are a person to you know? You can just write some papers yourself. No joke here. From here it looks like the scientists just sit there spewing insults in full ignorance.

Tell me it isn't so, prove me wrong, show me the physical evidence that there is in fact research on the topic. They all responded like you.

So there will be massive death and you are going to apply denial to the solutions before looking? WooooT! Lets speed up the depletion process yeah why not? Dismiss things .... like before looking at it? ha-ha And you don't see anything wrong with this picture either? Don't forget! Your opinon is actually worth anything. Mine has the value of a wikipeidia talk page. I'm trying really hard to explain now, lets see how far you get? Or have you given up already on the planet? People die every day, it would be nice if you could grow that understanding of yours like today? I dunno? Why not? What is the big deal here?

I'm really sorry I deleted your contribution okay, we spend a lot of time on this. I should have given you an answer.

The Verne reference was there because it is fun to read. It's like sticking forks in your hair against the drop bears, the Verne reference is like the heavier than air flying machine for the debunkers. I needed some one to tank the aggression that perpetuates the preconceived arguments and scientific dishonesty. I shouldn't have done that, it was intended as a contextual joke really but ended up a tactical error. You didn't mind, you even read the page. Reading Verne is never a waste of time. lol

But then you explain to me what a patent is 2 times in a row? What does your pretending I don't know what a patent is have to do with Aquyagen? What shocking inacuracy in rating the magnitude of my intelect. (tata)

The comments are so general it doesn't really matter what patent you stick above them, the comment still fits the topic.

The most popular circular reasoning is:

  • inventor A is a fraud because B and C are,
  • inventor B is a fraud because A and C are
  • and inventor C is a fraud because B and A are

The best part about this joke, or shall we say the part I like the most about it is that adding additional working inventions to the mix actually makes all of them more fraudulent. The curtain closes, the lights go on and everyone goes home.

Looking under yull brown I see that 1 liter of oxyhydrogen gas implodes to 1 liter of water. It doesn't extract heat while imploding either. That is what they are trying to convince me of?

How serious do you take those comments? How useful do you find them?

On your page I read:

I have a PhD inorganic chemistry. My interest and experience is in nonaqueous electrochemistry, air-free synthesis, inorganic thermodynamics, and energy related chemistry/issues.

Here is a picture........

Are you honest enough to agree this technology does in fact exists?

This are not random examples but I have chosen this because it will teach you things that will allow you to preform the miracles we so desperately need.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMNCebzgCgg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2KRRgjcJTg

If you are going to cheap skate around the topic again we can only discuss that kind of scientific approach. But when you do understand how the GEET works the Meyer Cell stops being a miracle.

Stanley Meyer's brother http://xogen.ca is also a chemist. He claims to have turned Stan's technology upside down. It can now clean oceans and supply all the energy we need. Meanwhile thousands die per day from just a lack of drinking water. (ehm!)

It's not surprising to see the GEET also runs with oxyhydrogen added to the fuel, it absolutely needs something combustible for it to work.

That performance cant be compared to an ordinary engine is quite obvious. The motor doesn't have any power until you mix in the hydrogen.

Running a car on normal electrolysis uses so much electricity compared to an electric motor that just the advanced electrolysis is not going to be enough to run it in a closed loop.

The Stanley Meyer article shows the patent image. There are disolved gases drawn, those come from the exhaust obviously.

Look how obvious it is?

you don't have to do anything of course, it's just a suggestion.

Wow that is a lot. I appreciate you writing all of this. Its clear that you understand that I don't expect any perpetual motion machine to work based on the laws of thermodynamic. I prefer to disprove perpetual motion by identifying the offending loses. I enjoy identify the processes where energy is lost since those are the areas where a system can be improved. Since I don't rely on the laws of thermodynamic to dispute perpetual motion machines I have to apply my understanding of the world. I have first hand experience when the system involves electrolysis since I've done a fair amount of research in the field. In regards to things like the hydrogen/oxygen implosion I have even earlier experiences. In high school our water electrolysis experiment was coupled to launching a rocket powered by a hydrogen and oxygen explosion. Latter as an undergraduate I did a lot of outreach for grade school students in one experiment we compared the flammability of gases. A normal demonstration included helium(doesn't burn), oxygen(doesn't burn), hydrogen(burns with a visible flame under our conditions), and a hydrogen/oxygen mixture which essentially detonates when exposed to an ignition flame. The idea of a H2/O2 implosion is crude. The transmutation of elements is something for expensive super colliders and frankly I think our money would be better spent researching alternative energies or medicine. Beyond this I'm well read on the workings and limits of internal combustion engines as well as fuel cells. Its fair to say I have a firm and broad grasp of physical phenomenon. But I do not need of this knowledge to know the arguments against frauds on the pages that interest both of us are substantial and in no way circular.
I do not support or have a vested interest in the proprietors of fossil fuels, although they do sell a product that preforms as advertised. I think the addiction to oil is a good analogue. The oil companies have peddled false security for too long. No one knows how much oil is left in Ghawar Field except the Saudis which isn't good. There should be third party over sight of all oil fields. The role of anthropogenic climate change is also underestimated. Oversight is something I believe in. The situation is more serious then the popular media realizes. None of my feels about such subjects negates the fact that people in there garage or companies like Genepax or HyDrive Technologies Ltd. are looking to rip off honest customers and investors. They are peddling false hope. Not everyone is well read in science and many are easily bamboozled. I can't tell if you are bamboozled or a bamboozler. I already knew the Jules Vern quote you offered and I thought it was strange that you presented it in an incomplete way. I thought it was deceptive. I didn't explain the workings of a patent for your sake but the sake of the audience. Most people don't know the limits of patents. If you do understand the limits then the citation of patents to support a technical idea is again deceptive. Further more why don't you want people at your web page? Why would it confuse them? Based on many of your edits (and creative spellings) clarity is not your foremost concern.
These energy system frauds are essential a variation on snake oil. This is a serious issue for many reasons each of which I wish I could detail but I can only hit a few significant ones. Fraud distracts people form real solutions (why develop solar systems if we have something that can run on water). False technology reduces peoples confidence in alternative energy technologies in general (why should I trust a battery powered car these inventors are all crack pots). Honest people spend their money on the technology expecting results (how many owner operators have bought a HyDrive system). The sum of the energy related snake oil's impact actually puts the fossil fuel companies in a more secure situation by preventing the development of authentic alternatives.
I'm sorry I can't discuss all the specific technology you mentioned above. If you want to present the technologies one at a time in a focused manner I would be happy to respond. I could explain to you their short comings and/or fictitious aspects. I don't expect you to trust me based on my degree, its only posted as a matter of disclosure for when I edit more technical pages. I only want you to consider the rational of my argument, it doesn't matter who's making the argument. Please research these technologies more thoroughly, you might be disappointed. Finally you might like to know that the peer review process is in place because of scientist distrust each other as much as anyone else. Peer review is oversight and it keeps people honest which is essential if funding agencies are involved. The criticisms I'm offering is just at taste of what goes on within scientific discourse. I'll end this by suggesting you would do well not to believe everything you see on TV or YouTube.--OMCV (talk) 06:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Peer review moves the scientific boundaries all of the time. It might not advance with every paper it does as a whole. This means the borders are not static at all. It would be wrong for you to assume the scientific understanding will never improve beyond that what we have today.
Furthermore by that very same logic you should know that everything that has ever been peer reviewed already existed before that time. First in an undiscovered state then in a state where it was not understood. Eventually though hard work it was brought up to the standards we demand. You cant take that hard work for granted. It absolutely requires effort. Just like Wikipedia the goal of the documentation is not to be completed but to be clear and maintain high standards. We both appreciate reading around this place, that proves it is a method that works. This means there are professors who have the most magical ideas in the back of their head but they wont disclose them at this time. For you and me it means there is a hell of a lot more out there then that what is documented. You can imagine how big the gap between the peer reviewed information and that what can be imagined is. Not all data is information, the imagination allows for complete nonsense to exist. The gap is huge for it should be. To assume the combined imagination of the species can-not already contain the answer describes nothing beyond it's unimaginative author. Gdewilde (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 17:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree with almost everything you have to say here. I have two comments. First you might over estimate how much I value peer review. For example Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot scientifically described the steam engine (1824) for peer review more than a hundred years after Thomas Newcomen built a functional commercial external combustion engine(1712). The development of technology is at times independent of the full science necessary to explain it but the basic principles are always well understood. Its the very basics you are weak on. Second look at SteveBaker's comments on Talk:Water-fuelled_car#New Grand Unification Theory makes Perpetual Motion Possible. Consider what he has to say seriously as it relates to the claimed technologies that interest you. No one on wikipeida wants to hamper progress of useful technology or the dissemination of information. I would much rather tinker with stuff related to chemistry if I knew these popular frauds where well documented. It might be worth while to take some science and/or engineering classes.--OMCV (talk) 06:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

common ducted oxyhydrogen gas

"If you want to present the technologies one at a time in a focused manner I would be happy to respond."

Commonly known as Browns gas[6] it was first described in 1966 by William A. Rhodes US Patent No. 3262872[7][8]. The electrolyzer is specifically designed not to separate the gas rather make a soup of diatomic hydrogen, monatomic hydrogen, diatomic oxygen, monatomic oxygen, water vapor and electrically expanded water. The reaction takes the water to sub-critical state 1860 times it's original volume afterwhich thermolysis takes place on the target surface. The nozzle stays cold while the arc temperature depends on the target material. Compared to electrolysis & hydrogen it takes less current to half-dissociate water, we get more heat, it burn at 2487 m/s (mach 7.5), and implodes with a 1860:1 decrease in volume[9][10][11][12][13][14]. Any leftovers breakdown through thermolysis at 2500°C[15]. The burn is translating heat into fuel and fuel to heat at the very same time. Just like a forest

Brown also gifted the technology to the Chinese government who to this day have government scientists doing brownsgas experiments. I hear 5000 at the moment. That means it is definitely not free energy don't you agree? If there was any obvious way to make free energy then they would have figured it out by now. A brownsgas flame gets the rest of it's properties from it's target. The most obvious difference with an hydrogen torch is in that it can sublimate tungsten. And it's ability to reduce radioactive samples by as much as 94%

I have no problems believing that what ever you burn along with browns gas will indeed burn and when something is burned up I don't find it unlikely that there could be useful energy there. More like the other way around, if you burn things up I would think we may expect extra energy.

It even comes with it's own oxygen. In the nanoseconds directly after detonation of petroleum in a piston the browns gas can continue to burn/explode the fuel. The combination makes for a self propagating explosion that implodes[1] far below it's starting volume. You have to detonate the mixture far out of phase so that you have enough fuel volume and the correct timing.

There is nothing free, it's just far less wasteful you see?

That an a lot of poor descriptions.

Lets start with the idea Browning's gas. This is just a neologism for the gas that is evolved from any form of electrolysis. The construction of the cell does not change the products or their properties. The suggestion that it has any unique properties is a misconception.
Within your first paragraph you are not clear as to whether you are talking about processes associated with the electrolysis of water or combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. The idea of half dissociation is also a misconception. Water will disassociate but into specific product such as H2O2 or H2, and O2 depending on conditions. It can also form a number of radicals as you alluded to but none of them are sufficiently long lived to exist bound the electrodes at which they are created. Often things can't be halfed in the molecular world since they are operating in discrete steps. This stepping function is the cause for the name of quantum mechanics. You include a number of facts that lack relevance to the discussion. The numbers associated with the expansion of water as it is electrolyzed to hydrogen and oxygen as well as the the velocity at which it subsequently burns is nothing but distracting trivia.
You have a lot of citation for your implosion idea but I have personal hands on experience to contradict this as well as established science. When 2 moles of gaseous hydrogen react with 1 mole of gaseous oxygen the result is 2 moles of gaseous water and a lot of heat. The heat actually makes the volume of the resulting 2 moles of gaseous water greater than the original 3 moles of gas. To understand this it would be worth your time to investigate the ideal gas laws. I have combusted hydrogen oxygen mixtures many times and they never implode. This is similar to suggesting the reacting a hydrocarbon fuel with oxygen would result in liquid water, dry ice, and an implosion. It is utter absurdity. For god sake many rockets get their thrust from the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. I don't care if you hit the books or do the experiment just stop listening to the empty words of frauds. This claimed implosion phenomenon is key to the technology and without it there is no technology.
Cite your knowledge of the China's research. Someone is feeding you bad information. It would also be good to define what you mean by an experiments, do you mean sample runs, projects, individuals working, or something different. If this fact was personally fabricated you would do better to say china has more than X researchers working on Y projects. The idea that a chemical reaction has an impact of nuclear chemistry is willful ignorance. If this was true than those working on nuclear power would use it to dispose of waste.
Again you are unclear when you say "ability to reduce radioactive samples by as much as 94%". Do you mean a specific radioactive material or any material? A specif form of radioactive emission or any type of emission? Is the sample otherwise unchanged and only its radioactivity reduced? If so how? Answering how would result in a Nobel Prize.
I'm sorry I can't discuss every point. Before we agree to some basics there is really no point. I've already gone on longer than I should. The key points follow:
  1. Browning's gas is 2 mole of H2, 1 mole of O2, and some water vapor.
  2. Browning's gas is produced through a standard form of electrolysis with all the associated limitations and efficiency losses of standard electrolysis based on the given design.
  3. H2(2 mole) and O2(1 mole) combust to form heat and water vapor (2 mole). The heat causes the water vapor (2 mole) to expands larger than the starting gases (3 mole). The expansion depends on specific conditions.
  4. Adding H2 and O2 in small amounts to the combustion chamber of a well designed engine doesn't alter its performance in any way. Here I'll define a small amount as a mass ratio of hydrocarbon to hydrogen greater than 100 to 1. This concentration is far greater than what people claim to use in most hydrogen fuel enhancement scams.
  5. Pre-vaporizing a fuel does not assist an engine unless its designed to have pre-vaporized fuel.
  6. The exhaust of a well designed engine (which doesn't include two strokes) contains very little useful chemical energy.
  7. To extract the heat energy from exhaust (combined cycle) requires heavy equipment reducing the power to weight ratio rendering the system useless for transportation purposes but great for making electricity at a stationary location.
I hope that helps. I'll discuss these points with you as much as you like. I won't be able to agree to any of this technology until you prove these well known facts false. If you are interested in authentic and not well developed technology you might want to look at controlled charge combustion also known as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition. It is a practical applications of a number of the concepts you are grasping at. I hope you realize that I'm critical because I want to see real advances in this field.--OMCV (talk) 05:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Some Other Stuff

Heres some other info I've taken a liking to:

Variable compression ratio, fast burn engines [5]

  • Hydrogen injection using reformer technology should extend the lean burn limit in such a design further realizing the otto cycle.

Six stroke engine design Crower_six_stroke

Noah Seidman (talk) 20:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The Crower_six_stroke is a very neat idea. You know I'm skeptical about the reformer stuff but a good reformer with the right fuel cell could be much better than an ICE. There still needs to be a lot of work to be done in area.--OMCV (talk) 00:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for helping out at the article Water fuel cell. You've helped contribute in a positive manner which is shaping the article to look pretty nice. --CyclePat (talk) 03:13, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I just added a rather harsh comment. Its not meant to be personal but its consistent with my beliefs. I think you are doing a good job on the page. I won't change your edits but I will try to convince you to change your own where I think they should be changed. Again thanks and no hard feelings.--OMCV (talk) 03:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Those who are feed up with the Stanley Meyer's water fuel cell debate have a right to their frustration. Meyer never stated in his patent or latter in life the nature of his water fuel cell. There are no diagrams or examples. After watching a couple hours of video coverage on him the term seems to change with convenience. Even inside the patent the term doesn't seem static. No one can ever say what he truly meant at any given moment they can only infer. This is similar to a news paper reporter will infer a proper noun for a pronoun when quoting a person. Quoting the patent in detail gives far to much attention to quackery just as all the nightly news coverage did. A succinct summery is more than reasonable. As for citations of every detail it doesn't seem necessary. According to WP:FRINGE when there is a absence of peer reviewed information on a subject the burden of citation shifts to the idea identified as FRINGE. Not completely but in part. This allows people to state perpetual motion machines are nonfunctional without finding a citation since that is mainstream science. You might disagree on details and I would like to hear what you think. What I think is important here is the spirit of the rules. The legal lines are not as hard as some think, if you are in law you must realize there is a great deal of gray involved or the courts would never be necessary. Everyone in this debate seems to be operating in good faith. Not every interpretation is original research sometimes its just a translation. Such translations are necessary when considering the ideas and speech of those outside the scientific community since they often do not know or use the established language of science. For example Oxyhydrogen, HHO gas, Aquagen, Magnegas, Brown's gas, amoung others are technical sounding neologisms (except for oxyhydrogen which is historic) that all refer to a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas. This translation must be made before subjects can be discussed in proper scientific language. Its pretty clear that Meyer misused the term fuel cell, why not state it.--OMCV (talk) 16:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
