Is that plonked shithead responding to me now?
Now that IS a waste of time.

Here's an example of waste.
xi = (x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
tau = (t-x/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

All perfectly true as long as v = 0, but reduces to
xi = x
tau = t
Now that is using more when less will do, but shitheads
like Kolker create a demand for it and Einstein was pleased to
supply any crap desired.

Why did Einstein say
the speed of light from A to B is c-v,
the speed of light from B to A is c+v,
the "time" each way is the same?

1/2[tau(A)+tau(A')]= tau(B)
where
A = (0,0,0,t)
A' =(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v) +x'/(c+v))
B = (x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
x' = x-vt

and how Prez Carter's  SYNFUEL project got ruined/bankrupted
after the 1970 oil crisis, in which the Arabs turned the oil spigot
off, because of the USA's policy preferences towards its parasite,
Israel but, why in/from 2007 on the Arabs, instead of turning off
the oil  tap fully again,  they let the oil run and simply said:
"Let the dumb fucking goyim PAY US, THE ARABS, for their
love of and their dependency on the Jews... We'll see how
 much and how long the gyoim will carry that Jewish yoke &
burden..  while we rake in the dough"...  which is seen in that:
::: "Global oil demand has increased only by 1% last year,
 ::: So why has the oil price risen by 200% in that same time"?...

Also, the Enviros must be implicated in the sick & silly oil game

gas-tanks and we would be driving in hi-powered  nonpolluting
electric cars, and we would not be implicated and heavily
influenced by the irrational behavior of America's parasite, Israel
who has not managed to live in peace with its neighbors for
the last 60 years and has conned the US into treaty guarantees
that Israel will get all the oil it needs first, form the US, even if the
US must ration oil for it own citizens..... ahahaha... AHAHAHA...

Yes it is a 1000% scamola.
Since it took 100 years to convince the I.C.E hack idiots that

The pity of it all is that the energy is wasted; if society went in for

and although I don't give a flying fuck about Big Bang theories
or Dark Energy, I was impressed by the construction of the base
which is scavenging every bit of heat from the motor generators.
Building high tech in those conditions is tough, I take my hat off

True,  recycling and its benefits are great and much less

Enviros now call "waste" is someone else's **income**, the

never any waste. "Waste", like beauty, is in the eye of the

I saw that page, but I didn't see that it applied to these electrolytic
boosters, since the article considers simultaneous natural gas
injection. If you can point to a refereed research paper that considers
efficiency improvement of Brown's gas injection, I would be more than
happy to consider it.

The octane rating for hydrogen is something like 135 I don't know if there

don't even require a metal reinforced container. Usually the battery
splits and leaks out the acid in situ. And there isn't a great deal of

active metal to produce hydrogen and a strong base as well. Much more
lye or similar base solution would be found in a vehicle using such as a
source for making hydrogen as a "fuel". Compared to the small amount of
sulfuric acid the ratio would be quite large.

Now I've demonstrated the perspective you invoked. And as such your

If you want to get rid of the lye just wash it off with vinegar, or hose

In case you don't know this. Gasoline getting splashed on you is
uncomfortable and may sting a bit, BUT simply wash it off and you will
be fine.

As opposed to the fact that if you get a bath in Lye you will look a lot
like the wicked witch and you can literally watch as your skin and flesh
melt off from the reaction of the Lye on your skin. It is a highly
concentrated and powerful caustic compound.

BIG difference.

The explosive character of gasoline is a very hardy myth. It occurs
but rarely. A split fuel tank can occasionally cause a gasoline fire
but fatalities from such a fire are rare save for the execution of a
person and an induced fire to hide the evidence. But what can be
done when a lye solution is splattered over the road and sidewalks?
Batteries can be split and sulfuric acid released but those
batteries are quite hardy and don't even require a metal reinforced
container. Usually the battery splits and leaks out the acid in
situ. And there isn't a great deal of it in any event. Not quite
what would happen when you used water and an active metal to produce
hydrogen and a strong base as well. Much more lye or similar base
solution would be found in a vehicle using such as a source for
making hydrogen as a "fuel". Compared to the small amount of
sulfuric acid the ratio would be quite large.

Now I've demonstrated the perspective you invoked. And as such your
argument is found wanting.

If you want to get rid of the lye just wash it off with vinegar, or
hose it down with CO2 etc.


Yeah, we'll have big tanks of vinegar stationed on every street corner
to wash off all those pedestrians and auto passengers before their
skin falls off from lye attack from a street collision.

Just like we have for washing that gasoline from their bodies now?


Having spilled gasoline on my hands on a few occasions I know that it
evaporates quite rapidly. It is not a good thing to do as some is
absorbed into the body but in those rare cases when a person has his
clothes soaked in gasoline it is just a matter of keeping them away from
a flame. Never offer a cigarette to a person who has just been doused
with gasoline. In other words we leave this prospect to be dealt with by
emergency personnel. But waiting around for the emergency people to
arrive while soaked in sodium hydroxide solution is not quite the same
as keeping away from flames while waiting for them to arrive and save
you from your dousing in gasoline. Very different degree of hazard indeed.
