The Red Brick Times

OK I had no takers on the solar charging OLED's but this is guaranteed to make Andy's head explode. Except for the part where they show why none of them can work. Perpetual Futility
A short history of the search for perpetual motion.

Did I eat too much garlic? Has Ohio been invaded by China and ABC forgot to mention it due the Congressional Page Sex Scandal? Have I slipped into an altenate universe? or more precisely back into the real one?

Hellooooouuu!?!?!?!

Here's another little head scrather for Andy's techno-scepticism.

I played with an HHO welding unit three years ago when I was visiting Alex and Tommy in the Tampa area. A friend of theirs, an artist and jewelwer, used one in his craft. At the time, the stationary HHO generator/torch unit was available at about $6K, and required a 30-Amp 220vac dedicated circuit. The holdbacks to popular promulgation have always been cost and canvienience. We can build fuel cells to take people to the Moon and back, so the technical capabilitiy is proven. We can mass-produce things of bemusing complexity for popular use as seen in modern automobiles and home elecetronics. The rest is merely marketing. If Marie Antoinette had marketed the burnt lining on bakers' ovens as a God-given benficence of rare availability, her apocryphal pronouncement: "Let them eat cake" would have raised her to sainthood insted of being a royal pain in the neck. We await the rise of popular demand to change the climate. As long as Winnebunkas and Runnamuckas are valued and sold, the raw materials will be diverted that way. A friend of mine says that he wants cars that run on paper. He does not realize that dollar bills may be cheaper than yesterday's bird cage liners if that comes to pass. The concept of waste follows the market.

I seems that if he got his HHO unit to run with the addition of an extra alternator then he must have solved some of the cost and power problems to build his automotive booster system. Note he's using it as a supplement to boost gas mileage not as a stand alone power source.
