Don T. : Welcome to
Permies.com, our sister site
Richsoil.com, this is the largest gathering of
permaculture members with
over 27,000 members world wide, you can come here at your convenience 24 / 7 and talk to someone with widely, some would say wildly
different points of view ! They will stretch your mind as you stretch theirs !
The ability to think 'outside the box' is a
gift we all try to respect when we see it in others! Only when we are willing to share and accept
new ideas, and points of view -will we be able to see change, without change there can be no improvement
First, I need to say that You-Tube performs
NO Checks of Probity, Truthfulness or Safety of ANY of the videos it allows people to
post to its Forums, it Never Has! You-tube is hungry for more and more content and it would be a violation of theirBusiness model to do so !
Also You-tube will not remove a video that has received thousands of complaints on for ANY Safety issue ! ( See Reason above ! )
Any thing you see on you tube must be independently verified before trusting ANYTHING you think you see there ! There is a Tremendous
amount of Crap, extremely rank,stinky crap! Let the Viewer beware ! !!!
I suscribe to the idea that you can disassociate a water molecule -carefully collecting one gas at the positive terminal, and the other at the
negative terminal! I further believe that entraining hydrogen into the air stream at the intake manifold could under some conditions improve
the combustion of your other Petroleum/Bio Fuels, this improved performance could make for cleaner burns and longevity of your Stationary
Engine !
However there is no free lunch, due to -mostly the poor percentage of efficiency in the operation of the stationary engine, and the power loses
in running a fan belt to spin a Generator /Alternator, and their inefficiencies,
Energy lost as heat mostly in the wiring in the H.o.d. device, even
starting out with a full tank your system is doomed to run itself down !
Any water-cooled engine that you can find will have a Water
Pump to circulate the water to its radiator ! An additional job of your antifreeze
is to lubricate the water pump and its seals. Without some additional source of lubrication your pump will definitely fail, probably by failure of
its seal . If you are not in attendance when this happens your house will grow cold and dark !
As you are already thinking along the Co-generation lines, may I suggest that you check out tyne Wikipedia Article Co-generation which also
covers Domestic Combined Heat and Power C.H.P. where the efficient use of the two streams heat and electrical energy are used to extract
the most amount of power from Petroleum/bio/gas. this is getting very serious attention where connection to the electrical grid is too
expensive, impossible or unwanted ! For the Good of the crafts ! I hope that you will find this helpful and timely !
Think like fire! flow like a Gas! Don't be a marshmallow! as always your questions and comments are solicited and Welcome Big AL
