Why later?

"I used to work at an industrial testing laboratory, and one of the tests we used to run was vacuum pyrolysis. We did this to rubber samples. Put the sample in a test tube, pump out the air & then energize a heating element. All the organic hydrocarbons in the sample volatilize but do not combust because of the lack of oxygen. Whats left is an oily goo inside the test tube and carbon ash. If I had to guess, something similar is at work here."

Based on the more technical information presented here by Freepers it does look like there is validity, I'm still skeptical though.

"the Bilderbergers have suppressed the water car."

So that's what happened to the Stanley Steamer.

Why later?
***Because I’m at work. I like to read the scientific articles later when I get home.

Been there, done that

[AnAmericanMother]

F.E. and F.O. would be proud, if the Bilderbergers hadn't kidnapped and done away with them . . . . .

"Because I’m at work. I like to read the scientific articles later when I get home."

Ah... Kalifornia, that explains things. ;-D

Maybe rocks everyone else calls “coal”

"Looks like my home brew setup."

Too bad you're so far away, I'd like to sample, uh.... check out your setup.

Kahleeforneeya, keep that straight. The source of hollywood hopefuls in politics. Some good, some not-so-good.

I stand corrected and bow to your local knowledge.

Cheers!

I’ll make a note next time I’m in your neck of the woods to bring some. It really isn’t that fancy, over the counter home brew kit similar to this size.

Its a fun hobby that only take a couple of hours every couple of weeks but has great results.

Well, assuming this is true, and you were a mogul whose entire existence depended on the ascendancy of petroleum products, what would you do? Just drop out of business and become a pauper?

I'm simply asking the question, not taking a position.

Oh and how good would that be!

If you actually make up in the woods this way come in summer, I wouldn't want you to shock your system. ;-D

BTW, I've pinged one of your fellow Texans who had the misfortune to relocate here to Connecticut.

Be sure to send your condolences. :-)

It is not so bad in Connecticut. I could be in Massconfussion. I just think of the humidity in Texas when I start to freeze my arse off and I warm right up. :-)

[antidisestablishment]

It's even more confusing considering oil companies seem to be their primary market:

A patent-pending technology using microwave radiation promises to extract the vast majority of contaminants from oil drill cuttings, and oil companies are starting to take notice. Global Resources Corp., the owner of the technology, has reported interest from several petrochemical companies for the technology, based partly on a recent round of successful tests.

Well buckle up, things are going to get interesting in the next few days.

You may get lucky and get mostly rain but the storms are on the way!

[do the dhue]

Dan, the humidity is already starting to kill me.

I’m sick and tired of this quasimarxist mythos about the big evil company of the moment wanting to squash invention and keep people oppressed. In fact, the oil companies would love this microwave gadget, assuming that it works, since people will still have to purchase fuel somehow and the oil companies already have the gas stations, refineries, pipelines, and fuel trucks ready to supply and transport the fuel.

Exxon and Mobil are going to kill the guy. What a load of crap. That statement right there makes me think this guy is a nutcase, not a legitimate inventor.

A good thought and, true I might add.

Was talking with an eighteen year old college student yesterday.

I can’t believe how brain washed the liberal professors have accomplished their ideology onto the youth of America. These young people believe George Bush controls the price of oil because the Bush family comes from oil ventures. I ask, do you know how the stock exchange works’ no he replied. Then you shouldn’t be talking about something a liberal professor has told you without exploring all the facts.

[Jeff Chandler]

the oil companies might try to assassinate me

Fair enough.
