Umm, could we use it to make ice cream? It is cold, isn't it? =8-)

Trouble is most of the talking goes on outside of the building now as it's bugged by the Brits ;-) Not worth bugging as everyone know how it will react. |

Why cold fusion? I don't think we should be trying to use our limited supply of water as fuel. We should focus more on solar-based energy sources that can be converted into alcohol based fuels. Well Rick, agriculture is very heavy fresh water dependent as a general rule. And Uncle Al previously posted that the researched and tried present necessary high fuel processing costs payback for corn or other fuel crop bushel yields to alcohol conversion ratios were not cost effective. There is a guy over in newsgroup alt.energy.homepower by the name of Steve Spence that says the use of spent cooking oil in adapted diesel engines is economical and feasible if apparently only a few know about it versus sudden mass demand. Wasn't one of the original German rear engine diesel Volkswagen, Mercedes cars, or didn't the guy who invented the diesel engine originally design it to run on peanut oil? The water used in agriculture, will always remain to be water, continuously resupplying in a cycle. You can't have a net gain of energy from colf fusion unless some of that water is no longer water, unless I'm missing a point of how that works. That is the same argument I hear about alcohol. Corn does not make an effective base for alcohol production. So what? Is that the only way we can mass produce alcohol? ethanol? pretty much the only economical way. economic alcohol from cellulose would be a major breakthrough. the brazilians use bagasse (cane sugar waste) to make alcohol, but you run into the same economics. methanol from coal is doable, but its also an energy intensive process. Save the corn for the cows. http://biotech.about.com/library/wee...romgarbage.htm yeah, but you need garbage in the first place. you will always get out less energy than the energy put in to make the product in the first place. http://www.iogen.ca/3000.html http://www.oceanethanol.com/ Rick |

And as far as the OceanEthanol process, you could use wind and solar energy to separate the hydrogen and oxygen from the water, then use carbon dioxide from exhaust or the air to create the alcohol. It's easier to store than hydrogen or electricity. The byproduct is oxygen. Can't beat that! Rick |

They only wish they had the brass to do it themselves. But the UN has no power! It can only coerce action from others if you allow it to act like a spoiled child. Just say no! OR simply ignore them is the best way to handle them! |

Rick nightbat Way to go Rick, enter the nightbat pointing remarkable Halo bacterium, the little Nature's engineer's that can break down and eat conservatively anything even iron and make it into stored fuel. Absence of air, oxygen, or water, including extreme temp's don't phase them, for they actually produce their own further more complex life supporting gases. They are salt content self regulating, if the salt content drops they stop replicating and become long term dormant until salt levels are again adequately remaintained, rise, or are environment ascertained and tapped. Heaven knows we have enough Earth based salt but it's cheap or economic energy conversion and more stored fuel and production we need, and these little micro busy bodies work for salt. the nightbat |

Ha ha! And salt, isn't that a hazard for you as well? So you think the Halo bacterium can be put to work for us consuming salt and other basic mineral substances and producing fuel for our 21st century consumption. They don't mind working in sweatshop conditions either. Has anyone ever used them up till now to produce fuel in any useful quantities? Would it be economically feasible? What would be the byproducts of such a process? If it all pencils out, why doesn't somebody start doing it? Double-A |
