Is your Electricity bill reaching $200 or even $300 per month? Do you want
to learn what you can do about it? Are you interested in off grid living,...
renewable energy, solar panels, how to build your own homemade wind
generator, or even how to build your own house? Free Link!

Have you actually read the link that you cited?
I found this on that link: "By buying a generator and powering it with
biodiesel or water (yes, it's possible!) you can generate the
electricity needed to power your home for $0."
Now here is my story. I own a 3.5 Kw generator that I purchased used
around 25 years ago when my daugther was born prematurely in order to
assure that we would have electrical energy to power the furnace and
heat our home, in addition to providing light and operating the
refrigerator.
Now, we still own this generator and years later start it, connect it
to our home after disconnect the mains power breaker, and assure that
it can support everything in our home for at least 16 hours per test,
including lighting, the refrigerator, our television sets and
computers. For frequency verifcation we use an old GE office clock
with a large sweep second hand. We plug the clock in when the second
hand is straight up, let it run fora measured 5 minites, and then
check to see if the second hand is still straight up. The generator
has a very good mechanical rpm regulators, and over the past 10 years
we have had only once to make a minor correctiion to the speed
govenor, and that was because the clock lost 3 seconds in 5 minites.
After each test, we change the oil and flush the gas tank and fill it
with fresh gas. When you turn on the stopcock between the gas tank and
the carburetor, set the choke, the damn old thing starts on the first
pull. Then too, it's American made and not some Chinese chunk of
shit.
So, let me get this right. you want me to dump used crap oil or water
into its fuel tank? Kid, that would be insane. Don't your realize
the value of these generators is their ability to function reliably
under critical needs conditions? Trust me in telling you that the
last thing than any owner of a generator want to find is water in the
fuel tank, and this is preciely what your crackpot link is promoting.
The short term effects are immediate, the engine will falter and
stop. The longer term effects are more draconic, since even a small
amount of water ingested through the carburator will pollute the
entire engine, and while you may be able to recover using concentrated
mix of alcohol and gasoline, and engine purist would likely do a tear
down of the entire engine, then dry and lubricate each part before
reassembly.
I'm not that much of an engine purist, but I generally do though a
couple of ounces of drygas into the tank each fall. I like engines
that in an emgency start on the first pull of the starter cord. I
definitely do not like the Honda geneators, because they are Hell to
start in near zero temperatures, which correspond to the times when
you need an emergency generator the most.

Good Harry, you're on the right path. I don't monkey around with
Hydrogen any more, it's just not practical. Chemically gasoline
is much more dense than gasses, much more powerful than hydrogen.
I spent my times finding fault in car design. I will prove that
I'm right, the energy was not properly converted to move the car
and its passengers. So, there you go, the hint of scientific
fact you asked me recently. My findings can also help truckers
as well, for their diesel engines. Now why don't you go push
FoxNews to witness my test? I will do a 600+ miles test on a
16.g tank of fuel, car weight is 4,000-lbs. |
