To paraphrase what Trinity (of "Matrix" ilk, non-gospelized) tells
Neo in the modern version of "good-news, bad-news":
... "the answers are out there, and they will find you - if you
let them. Or, you can find them easily, if you go looking." They
are not well-hidden. Their disguises often consist merely of
"official neglect" which is maintained by marginalization of the
proponents (or the cash equivalent). Occasionally but not often,
harsher methods are employed by the Mr. Smiths of the NWO or their
bought-and-paid-for Petrocracy, i.e. those few who fashion
themselves some kind of super-elite club.
The super-elite may own the White House now; as well as many of
the boardrooms of corporate America and billions of blood-soaked
obscene oil-profits, but they do not own the hearts-and minds -
and superior mentality of the Neos in the Nebuchadnezzar, which is
the alternative new world order <G> as epitomized by the fine
readers in Volandia, among other kindred souls in CyberSpace.
Hey ... we need to add a little TNT drama - of the 'us-vs-them'
variety - to the energy conundrum, right?
And lets add that the underlying question to the above tag-intro
is simply: "how do we avoid imported oil?" with all the blood and
tears that unholy-addiction has entailed in recent years, and on
this post-anniversary message of 9-11. Now for the answer.
Superficially, we can avoid importing oil in as little as five
years, if we mandate a doubling of MPG in the average new car, and
sooner in all commercial trucking. Sure, that mandate will largely
only substitute American coal or methane (perhaps some biofuel)
for Arab oil, and it will squelch some of the obscene profits of
the Petrocracy - but isn't that what it takes to keep us from the
General-temptation of meddling in the affairs of other sovereign
nations? Of course, the first thing which must be accomplished, by
the anti-Smith's of the (a) NWO is fumigating Congress <g> which
is known diplomatically as "regime change."
The gas/electric hybrid will accomplish this goal now, and there
are other viable avenues for doubling gas mileage (and more! even
without a major breakthrough of the Steorn, or MPI, or LENR kind -
which would hopefully make all this verbiage moot). But assuming
that breakthrough will be delayed once again...
Today's rambling anti-Petrocracy essay concerns the first
important detail of that underlying chemical modality - the one
which will permit the doubling of combustion efficiency in an ICE.
This answer is "out there," it is non-speculative, in print and
proven. Yes, there will always be a Carnot limitation to
combustion efficiency; but NO, we are far away from that
limitation now; and yet we can and should achieve it fully, and
not partially. Water is part of the answer.
Chemical bonding in the isolated water molecule is often thought
of in terms of a simple "Lewis dot" construction, where oxygen
contributes six valence electrons and each hydrogen contributes
one. The two hydrogen's are a bit over 90 degrees apart on one
side of the molecule and this asymmetry provides most all of the
unusual attributes and polarity, which water possesses. The four
'loose' valence electrons associated with the oxygen atom in water
represent two "lone pairs"- as electrons in general have an
overwhelming propensity to pair. The four valence electrons which
are shared by the hydrogen and oxygen atoms represent the unusual
intermolecular bonding, which is not purely covalent nor purely
hydrogen bonding.
BTW, this information all comes paraphrased from "Thiel and Madey"
(T&M), mentioned several times by Fred. T&M does have "all the
answers" needed for solving the artificial dilemma that the Mr.
Smiths of the Petrocracy have let stand over the years. These
special interests know that they cannot hide the truth, but they
also know that high-level "official neglect" is almost as good as
a new-fashioned book-burning Fahrenheit-451 style. Witness to that
is the fact this superior treatise is almost unheralded, despite
having the answers. LENR stands as another evidence of that
"official neglect" assertion. Fortunately, some of the answers
which are "out there" in waterfuel art-and-science, and in T&M-
are simpler and more robust than in LENR.
The two lone pairs of electons in water, mentioned above, enable
oxygen to coordinate and temporarily bind and catalyze many
reactions with other molecules by acting as an electron donor.
This can happen at STP, with the energy being supplied by ambient
heat. The key-concept to using this factoid is in the broad
subfield *surface chemistry*. BTW, LENR is probably another subset
of the broad field of surface chemistry, in that the effect is
interfacial.
If water chemistry appears as "overunity" it is only in the sense
of actually utilizing, or cohering the ambient heat of the
environment - and the Gibbs Free energy of certain reactions.
Every University professor (of the Mr. Smith variety) will tell
you that Gibbs Free energy cannot be utilized for this purpose.
What they mean is that - if it can be used, no one is yet doing
it. Official neglect.
[side note] Gibbs free energy - In thermodynamics, it is a
mathematical expression, developed long ago in the 1800s - defined
as the energy portion of a thermodynamic system available to do
work - and governed by the laws of thermodynamics. It is a factor
in determining parameters such as the voltage of an
electrochemical cell, and the equilibrium constant for a
reversible reaction.
Getting back to the subject of interfaces and ambient heat
extraction. On any surface, especially a metal or metal oxide,
either "lone pair" of the water molecule electrons can interacts,
both with the metal substrate, ideally a colloid, and with
neighboring molecules, including another water molecule. Here is
the key concept which T&M build everything on.
H2O is unique in all of surface chemistry - and especially among
small molecular absorbates, in that attractive lateral
interactions (and hydrogen bonds) ARE comparable in strength to
the molecule-substrate interaction. IOW whatever energy is needed
to pull-off a chemical reordering - such as 2H2O + O2 --> 2HOOH
can be withdrawn from either ambient heat or the reaction
enthalpy. This is - plain and simple - "ambient heat extraction,"
and it is highly efficient. Better living through body chemistry.
Sounds simple, but it is profound in operation.
