SUPPRESSED SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY THE PATENT GRANTED TO NEW JERSEY RESIDENT FRANCISCO PACHECO, FOR HIS UNIQUE HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEM COULD HAVE WORLD CHANGING IMPLICATIONS. BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO GLOBAL ENERGY AND POLLUTION PROBLEMS IS DESTINED TO REMAIN HUSHED UP. THIS IS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES COVERING UNDERGROUND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH - THE INVENTORS AND THEIR INVENTIONS THAT SOMEHOW REMAIN IN THE DARK. Francisco Pacheco of Hewitt, New Jersey has just received a new patent (# 5,089,107) for his invention which could revolutionise the field of energy. The Pacheco Bi-Polar Autoelectrolytic Hydrogen Generator is a unique system which separates hydrogen from seawater (the elemen- t's natural storage tank) as it is needed for use. The patent teaches the on demand autoelectrolytic separation of 99.98% pure hydrogen from seawater at both electrodes of the generator, and the simultane- ous use of the hydrogen's carried energy. Research and development of hydrogen as an energy source, till now, has been blocked by several factors: 1) It is an extremely volatile element and subject to explosion as happened in the tragic Hindenberg accident and the Challenger; 2) The existing highly pressurised, cryogenic and hydride systems available for storing it are very expensive, cumbersome, and danger- ous (there is no need for storage with the Pacheco system); 3) The United States Department of Energy is not interested in promoting or developing new energy sources that compete with the powerful energy monopolies now in place. Hydrogen is the cleanest burning fuel. When burned, its waste is clean water vapour which can either be recycled back into the sys- tem for reuse, or safely released into the environment and returned to the oceans, lakes and rivers - no greenhouse gasses, no atomic pollu- tion, no acid rain, no crippling dependencies on foreign oil, no expensive transportation, or power lines. The oxides of the two metals used in the system which produce hydrogen at both electrodes are also recyclable (with a minimal 0.25% loss). The metals can be produced for use in the system from existing scrap metals actively seeking markets. The infrastructure necessary to develop this clean, safe, and efficient alternative energy source is already in place. Pacheco has built prototypes which have successfully fuelled a car, a motorcycle, a lawn mower, a torch, and a boat (with the ocean serving as its inexhaustible fuel tank). Another prototype system in demonstration energised an entire home in West Milford, providing electric energy and fuel for cooking and heating. In addition, Mr. Pacheco demonstrated his generator to the scientific community at the 1990 Eighth Annual International Hydrogen Energy Conference where he was the only exhibitor actually producing hydrogen. His generator was also exhibited in Canada at the 1990 Green Energy Conference, and at many other notable conferences where he received several awards for his work. by Karin Westdyk AWARE American Women's Association for renewable Energy P.O.B.

While experi- menting in his makeshift laboratory, he lit a match and the bubbles forming in one of the beakers ignited and blew a hole in the ceiling.
