If it wasnt going to be so sad. And if I didnt like some of them so much.

“I still believe in miracles.”

Well, I guess that’s because you are younger :) I’m too old to believe in miracles. No Santa. No Easter Bunny. Hell, there isnt even a Great Pumpkin.

Or, as the great Meatloaf said:

“There aint no Coup de ville hiding in the bottom of the Cracker Jack box.”

The more they say the same the more their Saint Obama seems to change.

I continue to hope for an interesting convention. I still believe in miracles.

We and others have already done so.

Yeah, well, I see what obama and his merry band of democrats got “done” on FISA. More folding like a cheap lawn chair.

And Clark defended that stomping on the fourth amendment.

And now captain thinks it’s ok to “give” them offshore drilling?

heheheheheheheh!

Amazing what being an obama true believer will do to some people…

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

No Paul – I have seen innumerable of these over the years.

“As the “Does it Work” clip points out, modern cars have computerized fuel/air mixture computers. If you replace either air or fuel with hydrogen, it would throw off the sensor.”

No Paul, that is not what “does it work” said. It was the excuse given by the peddler of the device. They then invited him to come and set it up “correctly” for them – he never did. As “does it work” noted – it FAILED!

“Way back when” during my days working with automotive emissions catalysts we would routinely check out these ‘magic devices.’ Never found any that lived up to their claims.

A hind Linda: the one thing in common, among most of our great invetors?

They never, ever worried about public opinion or the chance that they might be wrong about something.

I still think this hydrogen injection is an idea that needs to be explored.

As the “Does it Work” clip points out, modern cars have computerized fuel/air mixture computers. If you replace either air or fuel with hydrogen, it would throw off the sensor.

The difference between me, and you, and Ben?

Linda, if you or Ben came up with something that made sense, I would jump on it.

Ronald Reagan once said, “You can do great things in life if you do not care who gets the credit!”

Modern fuel censors seem to be the problem, with these after market hydrogen kits.

Lets work on THAT problem.

Funny, when conservatives come up with valid problems with wind or solar, you libs tell us we are being negative or anti-technology.

To libs, it is only “new technology” if it has nothing at all to do with oil or coal!

Ben, admit it, you had NO idea that these “water to gas” or Hydrogen injection systems were so common.

I taught you something.

Right Angle:
Thanks for the post.
I have not purchased one of these for myself, yet, and I knew I could count on this Blog to vet the idea first.
Actually, I am also looking for a company that overcomes the computer/censor problem.

” No research devices or commercial products have reports available as per the “Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Evaluation Program.”[17]”

So, it ain’t there. Maybe Paul will bring one to market.

H2, as a ’spike’, WAS looked at a lot back then. However, it never really lived up to its hoped-for promise. It IS, however, a great opportunity for scam artists like that exposed in RA’s TV ‘Does it Work” link.

Did you like my ‘DiHydrogenMonOxide” (DMHO) link. I remember we had a LOT of fun with that joke back then. Especially since so many people actually took it seriously.

Paul – yes, I know that pressurized H2 can have an effect. However I also note that after all these years we don’t see it out there. The reason – with better injectors its benefit is marginal. And yes, I can see that it might also help diesel. However, even there fuel injection technology has improved.

Paul – open a hydrogen store. Show us in the marketplace how it works!

Ha. sooo wrong here. THey are willing to pay your tuition for advanced schooling, in nearly every field. People hold themselves captive by seeking instant gratifiation.

Blessings ALL!!

Blessed be!!

…’single sentence talking point paragraphs?’

What the…

(…imagines a single sentence leaping over indention(s) to the next paragraph and then magically paginating itself to create a new page.)

Let the ‘Pukes have their drilling, as long as we get the much more viable alternative energy incentives . . .”

Let them have what else too Capn?

On my front, we are close to giving up.

YOU show me a candidate who says that is my fault.

Barack is way beyond comfy.

So it seems are you.

Cold water showers here. And I’m ok with that in high summer.

Barack Obama is your candidate Capn.

I go to sleep without a candidate that gives a damn about me.

Open web page and look at the two tests done by the TV station.

Further research in 2002 achieved results showing “a reduction of NOx and CO2 emissions”, by modeling an on-board hydrogen reformer and “varying the efficiency”.[9] The research was specifically a “numerical investigation” done to “forsee performances, exhaust emissions, and fuel consumption of a small, multi valve, spark ignition engine fueled by hydrogen enriched gasoline”.[9]

[edit] 2003
In 2003 Tsolakis et al. of the University of Birmingham showed that “partial replacement of the hydrocarbon fuel by hydrogen combined with EGR resulted in simultaneous reductions of smoke and nitrogen oxides emissions (NOx) without significant changes to engine efficiency”.[14] Similar results have been presented by a team of scientists from Zhejiang University, China, which found that “a little amount of hydrogen supplemented to the gasoline-air mixture can extend the flammability of the mixture… improving the economy and emissions of engines”.[15]

[edit] 2004
Test results in 2004 show “that the H2-rich reformate gas was an excellent NOx reductant, and can out perform raw Diesel fuel as a reductant in a wide range of operating conditions”.[16] This is referring to Diesel fuel being used in excess, as a reductant, to cool the combustion reaction, which indeed has a mitigating effect on NOx production.

In 2004 research was conducted concluding that an “SI engine system fueled by gasoline and hydrogen rich reformate gas have been demonstrated” to achieve a “dramatic reduction of pollution emissions”.[1] This was achieved by “extending EGR operation” in addition to consuming “gasoline and hydrogen rich reformate”.[1] Emissions results show that “HC-emissions as well as NOx-emissions could be reduced to near zero”.[1] Overall a 3.5% reduction in CO2 emissions was achieved during the “FTP test cycle”.[1] The research also concluded that the exhaust aftertreatment system can be simplified, “resulting in cost reduction for the catalysts”.[1]”

‘Do you think any writing teacher worth his or her salt teachers their students to write in single sentence talking point paragraphs.’

“what the…”

LOL!! Ooooops!

When the “jawless fish” screws up, he screws up. Three mistakes in one sentence.

‘Do you think any writing teacher worth his/her (plural pronoun with single noun subject) salt teaches (teacher/teaches) his/her students to write in single sentence talking point paragraphs? (I was asking an admittedly rhetorical question)’

I walked into that one.

I may still stand by the sentiment, however, the composition was excreable.
