[SEL] It works? Ban it! - Attention Brent

[JR504 at aol.com]

It's funny you say that.  I was giving a talk on Biodiesel at a  regional 
alternative energy fair and there was a guy there promoting a system  that uses 
the alternator to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then  plumbs it at 
low pressure into the intake manifold, claiming power and mileage  benefits.  
When I questioned how the tailpipe emissions could  possibly be oxygen (my 
combustion chemistry must be getting fuzzy) he got  pretty cranky.  He bashed my 
lack of vision saying I was the kind of guy  that stood in the way of energy 
progress.  Well, I ended up saying that I  had a vision of a car that ran on 
grass clippings and emitted ice cream (to  consume on the trip, you know)...but 
that didn't mean it could happen  someday.  As you might imagine, we're not 
buddies now.  
As long as there are people to listen, there will be people talking about  
free energy and 100 MPG carburetors.  Hopefully us nay-sayers and  repressors 
don't discourage someone from inventing the REAL flux capacitor.  :-)
