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.
