The combustion process 19th Century engineering gave us, I call slow burn. Over past century this technology has been retained because it provided great profits to Big Oil, Big Energy, Big Banking and Big Government, through fuel taxes; a very big conspiracy to rip off global consumers. All have agreed on desirability of using more than twenty times fossil fuel needed for inferior performance that poisons world’s air, soil and water. Indeed, it may be demonstrated in near future that liquid fuel technology has squandered fifty times more fuel than needed per developed horsepower.

Fast burn technology, developed by Canadian, Charles Pogue, in late nineteen forties, bought and suppressed by automakers, is a fifty five year old solution.

Charles had easily solvable power problems with his hot vapor, fast burn, gasoline fuel system. But he refused to address performance problem in his quest to achieve 300 mile per gallon fuel economy, after successfully surpassing 200 miles per gallon with a 1937 Ford V-8 sedan. This at a time when fuel was relatively cheap in North America and few would trade power for economy. I solved these problems in a simple fashion and never built a conversion to demonstrate solutions. This was due partly to fear of opposition and an unreliable sense of market timing.

The old slow burn technology makes just enough vapor in a combustion chamber to light mixture with a spark or compression heat in a diesel engine. At same time heat begins to vaporize liquid fuel to a combustible state, pressures build to great heights and prevent rapid vaporization of remaining fuel. In addition, unvaporized fuel absorbs great amounts of heat that cannot contribute to combustion pressure, which creates power. This rich or fuel heavy mixture serves to lower and regulate peak and average combustion temperatures throughout an unnecessarily long combustion cycle. This process uses a surplus of fuel that passes out to atmosphere unburned. The catalytic converter was industry response to cleaning this unburned fuel.

Fast burn technology does just opposite of slow burn. In a slow burn four stroke combustion engine there is fire in cylinder for more than one complete crankshaft revolution. That is, somewhere between 360 and 420 degrees of rotation. The power stroke is a 180 degree event and if we use a bicycle crank for comparison, we can see that most of power is delivered in half of full stroke, centered on mid point. That is, cylinder pressure creates greatest torque when piston is half way through power stroke. The engine will easily provide all power needed for cruise and moderate acceleration if there is only enough fuel available to make cylinder pressure fifteen or twenty degrees before and after midpoint of power stroke; a controlled power stroke of thirty to forty degrees. This is controlled by metering fuel so all fuel is burned up in an oxygen rich environment and emissions will now be hot air and trace amounts of oxides of nitrogen.

Most children learn at a young age, they can pass their finger through a candle flame without pain or injury by moving their finger through flame quickly. Such is secret of fast burn technology. Temperatures that would melt engine parts like valves and pistons if maintained for four hundred degrees of crankshaft rotation are no problem if burn cycle only lasts for a maximum of one hundred degrees in case of maximum power. Performance enthusiasts looking for that extra 50 horsepower by adding fuel, are ones most likely to melt parts. For these people - racers, hot rodders; engines likely to melt at high power outputs and too much fuel can and should be assembled with readily available thermal barrier coatings to prevent melt downs.

About ten years ago I read that slow burn performance engine developed peak cylinder pressure at 15 to 18 degrees after top dead center, early in power stroke. What if we could develop just twice that amount of cylinder pressure, three times as late in power stroke? That is, at 45 - 54 degrees after top dead center. The answer is we would have more than three times power at point of greatest mechanical advantage in power stroke as we do with bicycle crank in middle of its down stroke.

In late eighties I would learn that a boy genius in California learned to make hydrogen from water efficiently with a twelve volt battery and standard auto electrical system, during 1970s. Around 1990, my machinist neighbor built a hydrogen generator that did not work due to defects in plans boy genius had drawn up in prison when he was no longer a boy.

My neighbor was not interested in correcting defect when it was discovered and I was only a bit disappointed. My father was a hobby style inventor and he gave me a good idea for a cheaper and much more effective 12 volt hydrogen generator. I never got around to building it and decided there was no point in separating oxygen and hydrogen after splitting water.

Because hydrogen and oxygen have opposite electrical charges, they readily recombine as a compound I call hydrox. The man who discovered this gas and fooled with it to make underwater welders and cutting torches, named gas after himself, so hydrox is also known as Brown’s gas. Simply put, hydrox is an oxygenated fuel, which means it burns hotter and faster than a non oxygenated fuel. In WWII Germans used hydrogen peroxide as a liquid rocket fuel. H2O2 is a super oxygenated fuel, highly caustic, corrosive and dangerous to work with. Hydrox, however, is no more corrosive than water. Flat plate electrodes one sixteenth inch apart, made of stainless steel will last a long time if clean water is used. Clean water can be had from relatively inexpensive filters which can be carried on a vehicle. Having a good filter can also help supply one with potable water when clean water no longer flows from pipes at home.

Big Energy talks only about a hydrogen economy - using expensive technology to manufacture a product that can be made inexpensively by anyone who wants it. The idea of water power is far too democratic to control. The rain falls both on just and unjust. If people put water in their fuel tanks and make enough fuel with a few watts of electricity that then makes kilowatts or megawatts of power in a combustion engine, who will buy hydrogen at fueling stations? Most Americans buy water cheaply compared to its value because of its relative abundance. In U.S. it is usually cheaper to buy than to collect, store or drill for. Dry nations only need water pipelines from neighboring wet nations. Seaside countries can desalinate and filter sea water and pipe where needed. How can corporate fascists gain control of water? Only by convincing everyone we need their new technology.
