X minus 118 Days: Charting the Roadmap for Waterfuel Deployment

This post was lost in a system crash.
It will be redrafted shortly.

X minus 119 Days - "Nothing Can Change the Shape of Things to Come"

Movement Matters

The H2earth Institute today added an online BBS/Forum system to the growing array of collaboration tools it is placing at the disposal of waterfuel researchers. Known as "H2earthbeat", and found at http://my.opera.com/h2earthbeat it will host downloadable pictures, videos, and other media from waterfuel experimenters around the world. Posted on the front "About" page is a new composite of Dave Lawton's WFC test videos, "Stanship Troopers", set to music by Max Frost & The Troopers. In the various channels, the H2earthbeat Forum will allow each experimenter to post his/her unique findings and data, for others to review and comment on. The new video is also available on YouTube

Our realtime chat system is in the process of adding three additional waterfuel experimenters, and we are finding that, unlike other venues that lack the realtime component, overall technical progress accelerates with the addition of each contributor. While Forums are a good mechanismm to report results and ask questions, their cycle time of days, sometimes even weeks, can be ineffective, by themselves at fostering and accelerating collaborative research. One thing forums do well is to hold information in context for others to go back and review, including files contributed by users. Therefor, we have also activated an online file archive of waterfuel related documents, CYBRARIUM: The Waterfile Archive from which visitors to this site may download, here: http://my.opera.com/h2earth/blog/cybrarium and contribute their own files by uploading through the H2earthbeat Forum File Management System, here: http://my.opera.com/h2earthbeat/forums/forum.dml?id=4904

On the Links pages here and Links in the Forum section Institute associates and the unaffiliated public, respectively, may add links to web pages that would be helpful to the waterfuel community.

In addition, arrangements have been made, courtesy of Water Fuel, LLC to create an FTP Server to provide large file storage and transfer services to the waterfuel research community. Using a free client such as SmartFTP, users will be able to up/download large fractional-to-multi-gigabyte video and data files at their leisure, with auto-resume capabilty.


Technological Development

We have now received confirmation from PGFED that the D14 PDF file, which first documented the Lawton Meyer Replication is being updated and corrected, to include the missing Inductor. Also today, our associate in Florida should receive the components with which to build an Inductor to incorporate into his circuit, which will enable it to operate in an identical manner with the Lawton original. We hope to begin reporting gas flow data from both systems by the end of the week.

In Nebraska, an engineering Fellow of the Institute is constructing a high voltage, high frequency systems testbed, though which numerous prototypical configurations of the WFC driver electronics can be rigorously evaluated, under precision instrumentation. Circut simulations are being developed in PSpice, which can then be correlated with actual performance on the testbed. Any differences observed between the simulation and the actual circuit parameters will, it is hoped, lead to a better understanding of the anomalous performance of the Meyer WFC architecture. The sophisticated modelling features of PSpice are sure to stimulate our engineering staff in their endeavors.


Philosophical Musings

The intellectual yield we are experiencing through the realtime interaction of WFC researchers is astonishing. The Chat system archives everything, linke pasted to it are clickable, and files can be dragged and dropped, sent to all participants in the chat. The Client bookmarks the chat, so that if you get disconnected, or have to reboot, it treats you as still in the system, and you get messaged back into it the next time anyone posts in the channel.

The video ""The Machine is Us/ing Us" which is also on our front page is an excellent visual poem, depicting the new thought process which is evolving here. Known as "Web 2.0", its a world where word processors and powerpoint slide shows and travel for conference presentations is giving way to 24/7 mind melds, through space and time via the Internet.

The The Law of Accelerating Returns, propounded in-depth by Ray Kurzweil's tome "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology" is believed to become applicable to any process of research and engineering refinement in which a rapid and effective realtime feedback loop is admissible of continuously evolving information technology. This acceleration effect has been observed in fields as diverse as Robotics, Materials Science, and Genetics; we must apply that dynamic to the evolution of practical waterfuel technology.


X minus 120 Days - Totally Tubular: Inducing Change via <br/> the Meyer Water Fuel Cell

Technological Development

Yesterday's inaugural blog disclosed last week's H2earth Institute discovery that a missing inductor, added by Dave Lawton when building his solid state circuit, but not yet incorporated on the original CAD schematic generated for him by PGFED, (following his initial success with the alternator-based electromechanical approach) constituted the critical difference between his working Meyer Water Fuel Cell, and the otherwise identical ones made from his plans by several other experimenters working from the same .PDF document. Mr. Lawton was the engineer in the lab; Mr. Kelly was the engineer on the CAD; through no fault of either, one component fell through the cracks; being in the final hardware, but not in the published diagrams documenting it.

The world's most expensive engineering organization, NASA, has periodically encountered this sort of problem, even with all of the engineers involved located in the same place, and hundreds of them looking at the same documents. Sith happens.

Shortly after posting that blog, we compared the [Inductor-less] single-tube gas flow test of Mark, a WFC investigator, above, with a single tube gas flow test of Dave Lawton's own [Inductorfull ?] unit. Mark faithfully constructed the circuit, and seems to have done a very professional job of it. However, just as there was a substantial difference in gas yield between the complete six tube Lawton setup, and a virtually identical one recently completed in Florida, so too do we see that discrepancy between these experiments. What Mark's tube lacks is the internal high frequency, high voltage oscillations through the system, which Lawton's scope detected as a "sidewards jitter", originally thought to be an instrumentation artifact. The Institute's preliminary engineering analysis suggests that this jitter is a series of very brief, very fast, very high amplitude HF/HV pulses, superimposed on the nominal 12 volt, 4 amp, 3Khz digitally pulsed squarewave signal nominally supplied by the circuit.

Ultimately, as better test equipment is applied to the system, this mysterious supra-signal being imposed by the Inductor will be characterized for optimization. When a second Inductor (or "Resonant Charging Choke") is added, the harmonics that might result could be truly complex. Perhaps a better method of data visualization would be of use here; something more representative than mere scope tracings. Any ideas?


Movement Matters

A persistent myth among waterfuel enthusiasts over the years has been that one thing preventing the sale of consumer devices to operate motor vehicles off of nothing but water is that there is some federal law or regulation which prohibits it - and that, if you try to bring a waterfuel system to market, "the feds" will shut you down for competing with gasoline. There is no more fanciful or less rational myth than this, in the whole waterfuel conundrum. Nobody has ever been able to cite "Chapter & Verse" as to where this anti-water law exists in the United States Statutes, of federal administrative code; no one can offer up a page number in the Federal Register where it became law or from which any such federal rule or bureaucratic regulation ever took effect. In short, its a Bold Faced Lie.

This would be a merely entertaining (if not embarrassing) extension of the - somewhat more well founded - Conspiracy Theory, were it not for the fact that Zigouras Racing has recently been intimidated into suspending its reportedly successful waterfuel systems program, in the mistaken fear that some federal law would prohibit them from marketing the [apparently successful] result of their efforts. Water for Fuel, LLC of Klamouth Falls, Oregon, reports that Zigouras has had two cars and one static test engine running on nothing but water. They have already sold complete waterfuel systems on eBay.

There is no such law! Zigouras is being lied to by whoever told them that. Their lawyer should demand from this source, "Chapter & Verse" on this law. Make the lying bastards come clean: Prove it. Otherwise, bring that product to market, before the Chinese do. If *IF* there were some bureaucratic regulation against this, it would never stand up to a court challenge; there is no way the Clean Air Act can be misconstrued enough to authorize such a bizarre rule.

The H2earth Institute, here in Washington, D.C., will provide legislative and regulatory governmental liaison, at no cost to Zigouras Racing, - or any other successful waterfuel systems manufacturer - and find sponsors for any legal fees that a court fight against the regulation might entail.

They must demonstrate a static test setup, with an engine on a test stand running carbon-free, on waterfuel technology alone - powering its own alternator - and then will have all the resources they need to productize this setup. It would take us no more than a week, with a proper demonstration in hand, to line up a roomful of eager dynamic young activist attorneys, willing to take on the EPA/DOT on a pro-bono basis, to overturn this [most likely] fictional regulation.

If it exists, and were brought to light, it would instantly unite the political class here in D.C. against the offending bureaucrats; you would have immediate bipartisanship, from Ralph Nader's leftist Public Interest Research Group, to the libertarian, capitalist Cato Institute, it would earn enmity across the ideological spectrum, and trigger an mass stampede by camera-hungry Members of Congress, and bloviating Senators alike, to cosponsor bills for its repeal.

In fact, what a wonderful publicity stunt for waterfuel technology it could be...We bring a few dozen water powered cars to Washington, parade them around the EPA or DOT or whomever, with banners and horns, begging to be cited, ticketed, arrested - for the "crime" of driving our cars on nothing but water. Overnight, the world would know that waterfuel is REAL; and the end of petroleum would be a foregone conclusion. Would-be manufacturers like Zigouras and Water for Fuel couldnt buy advertising like that for less than $100 Million. What a Country! Just Do It...


Philosophical Musings

Forget Iranian nukes for the moment (or even, the more likely problem of Pakistani nukes), and focus on a more potent danger: The Clathrate "timebomb". Frozen methane hydrates, a strange form of water ice, trapping methane within its crystaline structure, exist in the permafrost and on the seafloor, in the thousands of billions of tons. Methane is between 20 and 70 times as potent a greenhouse gas as Carbon Dioxide. The climate impact of the methane now being released from melting subsoil clathrates in arctic Canada, Russia, and Alaska will dwarf the carbon effects of the Kyoto treaty, even if the U.S. had subscribed to it, and even if those nations which did were actually observing the pact.

Subsidence from the melting permafrost is actually crumbling buildings above the arctic circle, all around the world. The buildings themselves are a tragedy, whole towns are having to be evacuated after a century or more of "Northern Exposure" community life. In many places - Siberia has a frozen tundra peat bog the size of Germany - the permafrost extends dozens, even hundreds of feet below ground. It took millions of years to capture and store that carbon, and it will likely all have melted by mid-century. We havent a minute to waste in bringing the WFC into common usage; its the only technology profound enough to make a difference in the time we have left.

Philosophical Musings

Welcome to the frenetic organizational blog of the H2earth Institute. I am David Wenbert, its founder and principal Catalyst, serving as interim Executive Director. Our level of activity seems to be escalating dramatically, in the lead-up to our planned June 27th kickoff, the 2007 "Waterfree Cellebration". We are in touch with waterfuel researchers around the world, a dozen of whom will be reaching a beta-test stage with their technologies by the end of this year. No matter what we do, waterfuel technology is going to explode onto the alternative energy scene over the next 12 months, after decades of ignorance, neglect, and suppression by the academic skeptocracy. I am merely hoping we can nudge it along a bit.

This isnt the complacent, oblivious world confounded by Dr. Henry Puharich, Dr. Yull Brown, Dr. Eugene Mallove, or Stanley Meyer; nor even the tentative, hopeful transmillenial era challenged by Dr. Randy Mills, Dr. Michailovich Kanarev, Dr. Tadahiko Mizuno, or Dr. Rugerio Santilli. We are now well adrift, far from comforting shores in the 21st Century; a far more dynamic and dangereous place in the timeline.

A decade ago, the Internet was an emerging curiousity, a 'fad', some believed at the time. It was only really used and exploited by the 'true believers', today, it is an indispensible part of daily life. Then, the environment was a niche issue, energy concerns were limited to the price of gasoline, and middle eastern terrorism, well, it pretty much stayed in the Middle East. Today, the 'Perfect Storm' is brewing; an accelerating convergence of impending Peak Oil, runaway Global Warming, and the petroterrorism of Islamic Fascism is permeating our concrescing future.

Unless waterfuel technology makes it out of the box this time around, rising sea levels will give the world a whole new perspective on the power of water to change civilization. Meanwhile, the arid, desert lifestyle of our enemies will become our own, as lush midwestern farmland is scorched by drought and heat, dessicated like the despirate mideast we struggle with now. Petroleum will decline as an energy source, whether replaced by waterfuel technology or not, as accelerating depletion and demand intersect, rendering it unavailable to the average motorist. While Tar Sands, Oil Shale, and Coal Liquifaction, might have provided continuity, the Oil Crash will likely happen sooner, faster, and more dramatically than anyone envisioned. With no allowance for the decades required to bring their trillion dollar infrastructures online, in time to preserve our petroleum addicted culture, privation and war seem a far more likely outcome than a smooth transition to the annointed future.

But the future looks brighter today than it did only a week ago. Ironically, while for years, empirical data from experiments which gave evidence of free energy has been dismissed by the skeptocracy as a "dirty test tube", "bad calorimetry", or some other instrumentation error, we've just witnessed a case in which the instrumentation error went the other way around (see below). The key to practical waterfuel technology is a simple coil of wire; had it remained undetected, we'd have lost the age. Were it not for the Institute, that discovery would have fallen through the cracks of time.


Technological Development

Over the past week, two inquisitive electrical engineers working with the H2earth Institute have apparently debugged the Meyer Replication document that has circulated on the Internet in PDF since it was compiled for the Practical Guide to Free Energy Devices from the work of U.K. Research Engineer Dave Lawton, in June of 2006.

While several investigators have attempted to replicate the Water Fuel Cell, Mr. Lawton appears to have most reliably succeeded. From the schematics compiled on his behalf for posting, it was anticipated that numerous other validations would soon follow. However, several experimenters have faithfully reproduced the published circuit, delivering the stipulated frequency, voltage, and waveform, to no effect.

We know why. The proper Frequency, Voltage, and Waveform are necessary, yet insufficient preconditions for the Meyer effect to occur. Modern electronic components are deceptively capable; people assume a MOSFET will perform all of the functions of larger, older classes of discrete components. Not so. The Resonant Charging Chokes in Meyer's schematics were not there for decoration. His resonant phenomena are more complex than simply shaking the water apart. There is electrical resonance in the circuit, there is electrical resonance in the water, and there is acoustic resonance in cell itself. There are likely standing wave amplification effects. Any harmonic and phase relationships between these electromagnetic and mechanical oscillations will be multivariant, and take years to fully characterize; fortunately, the WFC can be made to work before the science catches up to the engineering.

The first Lawton replication of the WFC utilized a modified alternator; it introduced the desired effects, and yielded gas production 3x Faradic levels, for the 56 watts of power provided to the cell. Based on this, a solid state schematic was designed, represented in CAD, and published, which would ostensibly offer the same performance as the clunky electromechanical alternator version. But, not so fast! A copper wound, ferrite rod Inductor, incorporated into Mr. Lawton's subsequently constructed solid state circuit (but not into the already published plans), made all the difference. The second Lawton replication, using the solid state circuit, again gave remarkable results.

Working directely with Dave Lawton and a brilliant engineering student in Central Florida who had constructed a beautiful replication of the WFC, the Institute's engineers were able to discover why the UK cell performed, while the [apparently identical] Florida cell yielded only the expected Faradic equivalent gas as it operated, while all of the signal parameters seemed the same. The resonance effects of the Inductor are subtle, yet profound. A "sidewards jitter", thought to be a scope artifact, turned out to indicate the presence of very brief (possibly <75ns), very sharp (possibly >35Kv) high voltage spikes, which Mr. Lawton's venerable analog instrumentation apparently missed due to the lower sampling rate of his occiloscope.


As this is being written, the UK cell is being outfitted with new precision gas flow instrumentation for a new series of test runs, and the Florida cell (already so equipped) is being given its missing Inductor. Within days, they will be operated in tandem, and, it is hoped, their levels of performance synchronized and thoroughly documented. Yet to be examined is the fact that while Meyer's patent contained just the one Resonant Charging Choke, his later Technical Brief showed two of them, one on either side of the cell in the circuit.


Movement Matters

The Waterfuel Movement is <pardon the pun> picking up steam at an amazing rate. Nucleation sites on the web such as Waterfuelcell, Water Powered Car, Water for Fuel, waterfuelconverters.com, Water as Fuel, and The Water Engine are generating enormous numbers of hits, and interest is increasing as the truth spreads like kudzu.

While the Waterfuel Museum in Lexington, KY may have temporarily closed its physical doors (why put such a thing in Kentucky in the first place?), the technology simply refuses to dry up and blow away, for the inescapable reason that people keep using it successfully. People beyond the reach of the skeptocracy, such as Daniel Dingle in the Phillipines, Ku-Shan Technologies in South Africa, and HyPower Fuels of Alberta, Canada just keep doing it, running their cars on water alone.

The 'power elite' get access to better climatology data than that leaked to the general public. In Manhattan's towers of power, and the chalets of Davos [Switzerland], they already know about the Clathrate problem. Gigatons of methane ice, now being released from the rapidly melting arctic permafrost, make the true picture of Global Warming much more dire than has been reported by the IPCC. That's why this technology is now inevitable. No "Men in Black" or petroleum executives want to be the ones who condemned the planet to human extinction by going to bat for suppression, and bottling it up one more time. Internet information sharing and realtime collaboration makes that a futile proposition anyway. And, finally, the more courageous major power players - Billionaires among them - are now defecting from the ranks, unwilling to perpetuate the status quo any longer.

But, for the sake of caution, for the time being, the Institute is a somewhat stealty, virtual organization. This author is expendable. The engineering talent to make it work are diverse, dispersed, and, for the moment, shall remain publicly anonymous. This will change at the proper time, in the near future. More to come.
