10 years of research into various forms of electrolysis and numerous prototypes later I have now arrived at a new process which I call "HydrAlco" - Hydroxy gas enriched with alcohol vapour. Please check my entry at: Pure Energy Systems Wikipedia (PESWiki.com) The HydrAlco process allows me to self-run a 2000 W power generator on 2.5 L/m of modified hydroxy gas. It is an exciting point to arrive at but it is only one station along the journey. Bubbling the hydroxy gas through Methyl Alcohol has introduced new sources of danger in my lab. Recently (Jan. 2010) I experienced a failure of a flashback preventer and the bubbler containing the Methyl Alcohol exploded a foot away from me, spraying burning alcohol at my legs. I spent 2 weeks in the burns hospital. Lucky my workshop did not burn down. Even though the HydrAlco process does allow the generation of power independently of fossil fuel using small amounts of alcohol that can be fermented from any sugar or starch containing crop and distilled with a refractory still to a high percentage, it is my opinion that the combination of HydrOxy gas and Alcohol is far too dangerous for most amateur experimenters to safely handle. Therefore it is my intention to move on from HydrAlco and concentrate on modifying my process to eliminate the use of alcohol. Update Mar 31, 2010: We have run a number of successful tests in the last few days and have now got the generator running at stable RPM giving us more than 1000W surplus power. Work is now progressing in the direction of eliminating the addition of highly volatile hydro- carbons. |
