Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does it really work? A: Yes; this is well-established technol- ogy dating back to stainless steel. But be sure to follow these instructions using the proper mechanical and electrical assembly techniques, as it incorporates the best quali- ties of several techniques. Q: How does it qualify as ‘free energy'? A: If you're paying someone for the water you use, then it is not strictly ‘free’. Q: Is it safe? A: Technically, it is safer than running on fossil fuel because you are no longer choking on your own emissions (health- wise), but in general it is practically as safe as your current gasoline arrangement. You will be installing a few simple safety devices, using current automotive standards. Q: What kind of performance can I expect? A: Properly adjusted, your modified vapour-only fuel system will run cooler, and at a modestly higher power level. The mileage performance expected from this design ranges from 50-300 mpg, depend- ing on your adjusting skills. Q: Can I do the modification myself? A: Why not! If you know someone with basic mechanical and/or electrical skills, you can even delegate some of the con- struction. If you are using a fuel-injected engine, you may have to get a mechanic's opinion. Q: What is the environmental impact that my vehicle will have? A: It will be producing H2O steam and unburnt Oz, hence it will be cleaning the environment rather than dumping nauseous toxins into it. Plus, you will be helping to save our dwindling supply of atmospheric oxygen. Any excess vapour in the reaction becomes either steam or oxygen. You can also expect to be receiving more than casual interest from those around you. Q: Is this really a steam engine? A: Not really. Exceedingly high tem- perature and pressure are not used. This is strictly an internal combustion engine (burning orthohydrogen) with residual steam in the exhaust as a byproduct. Note that gasoline as a fuel is optional. from The Freedom Reclamation Project via KeelyNet, January 2002 KeelyNet Disclaimer: We have no indication that these plans work or will work as claimed when built; so if you choose to try it, use com- mon sense and start small, like with a lawnmower engine. Please report any successes you may have to KeelyNet at http://www.keelynet.com. Preliminary Plans r hese plans can be used to run your car, truck, RV, motorcycle, airplane, etc. from tap water. You will be making use of your entire existing system, except for the fuel tank and the catalytic converter. This 'mini-system' runs easily from your existing battery and electrical system, and it plugs into your carburettor with simple off-the-shelf fittings. You will be installing a plastic water tank, a control circuit, a reaction chamber, a high-pressure carb/FI fitting and three gauges (see figure 1), and then hooking into your existing carburettor/fuel injector. The simplicity comes from being an 'on- demand' system requiring no fancy storage or plumbing. You crank the gas pedal or throttle and you electrically create more vapour for immediate consumption on demand: low to high flow rate as needed, from idle to maximum power. Important Notes about Gasoline 1. Origin: In the 19th century, the gasoline portion of the refining process was first considered to be a 'waste' product of extracting the purified crude oil. Later on, it was discovered that it could be sold as fuel, instead of just dumping it back in the hole, as had been the tradition. 2. Consumption Rate: The gasoline consumption rate for every mass-produced car has been carefully ‘designed in' as a market asset. As an indication, simply observe how quickly and closely all the local different gas stations adjust their prices. Even the hybrid cars which use electric motors still consume a designed amount of gasoline, and their price tags are prohibitively high. 3. Efficiency: There is a gauges lot of thermochemical ener- gy in gasoline, but there is Fl. even more energy in water. angine The US Department of Z Energy has quoted it at about 40%, so it is probably much more than that. Most people are unaware that internal combustion is defined as a thermo-vapour process, as in ‘no liquid in the reaction’; and that most of the gasoline in a standard internal combustion engine is actually consumed Figure 1 APRIL — MAY 2002 NEXUS ¢ 47 FUEL FROM "BURNING WATER" www.nexusmagazine.com
