>>>it is new<<<.....I can't prove it, but I'd guess water has been hydrolyzed using high voltage and carbon rods in the past. I doubt if anyone saw value in patenting it before. >>>and it does react differently than normal hydrogen<<<......Yes, it certainly does in view of the variable amounts of CO and CO2 that are constituents of AquaFuel. So it doesn't react the same as pure hydrogen. >>>and those differences are good. Do you agree?<<<........In a word, no. ---my rationale: I have seen zero evidence that AquaFuel produced by hydrolyzing water with a Richardson-patented apparatus is in any way more economical or cleaner-burning as a vehicle or generator fuel than hydrogen produced in other, well-known, conventional manners. I'm talking end-to-end, production through consumption, total efficiency. >>>Therefore this argument is over economics.<<<.......exactly right, except I like to think it's a rational discussion as opposed to an argument. >>>OTOH most new technology is not economical in it's infancy. The issue is when and how this gas is economically viable.<<<........AND IF. This is not like transitioning from the first transistor to today's computer chips. This is like understanding about boiling water on a stove and extrapolating it to a boiler. The physics and chemistry of AquaFuel production and its use as a fuel are reasonably easy to understand by scientists in the field. In fact, I've solicited comments from independent, qualified scientists today. I await their comments. There, I've taken pains to answer your comments clearly. Now it's you turn to post substantive, credible information that shows that AquaFuel has a shot at becoming economically viable. H.W.
