James Hunt: Register-Mail PhotoYou pull into the driveway, tired after
more than 3000 miles on the road, but what a vacation! You loaded mom
and the kids into the SUV, and set off for the ultimate family trip: a
tour of America.
First stop, the nation's capital, then to Disney World, Gettysburg,
the Black Hills, Yellowstone National Park, and while you're in the
vicinity, a side trip to the Grand Canyon. You visited a few relatives
along the way. You've stayed in hotels and motels, camped out a couple
of times, and eaten at both fast food restaurants and a couple of four
star eateries.
The only thing you didn't buy was gasoline. You took the SUV, the gas
hog, but you didn't put one drop of gas in the tank. Let's see, the
price of gasoline is $3 a gallon, plus or minus, and you drove at
least 3000 miles in a vehicle that averages 15 mgp. Wow, that's a
savings of at least $600, not bad in this day and age.
And, as you sit at the kitchen table adding up the cost of your
odyssey, you offer up a silent "thank you" to a young, disabled Navy
vet, 36 year old James Hunt who lives in Galesburg, IL, and attends
Carl Sandburg College.
Hunt spent a year and a half working in his garage before taking his
new fuel concept project to college officials who liked what they saw,
and funded a lab with all the materials needed to continue the work.
Hunt formed the CSC Inventors Club, and was joined by several like-
minded students who developed working bench models of his system.
What's the secret? It's hydrogen gas, extracted from those six gallons
of water by plasmatic induction, and fed to the motor as a gas to
power the engine. When hydrogen burns, it gives off water, which is
fed back to that six gallons; the only thing coming out the tailpipe
is hot air. It's all perfectly safe: you'll never re-create the
Hindenburg disaster in the car. I know, water in the gas tank, it's
been done before but stay with me here...
Can this work? Yes. Jim says they have internal combustion engines
running on hydrogen gas produced by the energy conversion system in
the lab. In June, the students will retrofit a 1991 Chevy Cheyenne 4x4
pickup to begin road testing the system. First they'll tour the Carl
Sandburg campus until they receive permission to operate a non-
conventional fuel-powered vehicle on city and state thoroughfares.
Is anyone really interested? Hunt says the program manager of GM's
(that's General Motors) Fuel Cell Technology Development Division
contacted him, requesting more information. In a story from
Galesburg's Register-Mail newspaper, Hunt told reporter John R.
Pullium that three Fortune 500 companies have contacted him, along
with several investors and possible sponsors. In his latest
communication to me, Jim said he's received inquiries from individuals
concerning expanded uses for the system, such as fuel to generate
electric power for small communities. "We have started to take on
private investors" he said "to help raise money for research and
development of our final prototype".
How much would it cost to retrofit your vehicle? Hunt figures about
$2000. Will it fit in your car? Sure, he says: just replace your fuel
tank with his recovery system, add water and drive away. The only
thing you'll change are some non-lethal carbon rods, about once a
year. They'll cost somewhere in the range of what you'd pay for
gasoline in one month of driving.
Will it work? Will he get his patent, and will his dream survive the
anticipated onslaught from big oil corporations and other interests
who'd rather not see this type of energy generation system take hold?
In another Register-Mail article, Hunt is quoted as saying, "I'd like
to see the world benefit" and added, "I am fearful of the bad guys in
the background." Today, he feels his future is looking up, happy that
he's apparently managed to break the hydrogen safety barrier.
Jim has promised to keep me updated on their progress, and we'll be
watching this story very closely, posting updates as they become
available, regardless of the outcome.

Wow - another perpetual motion scam - this time with the latest and
greatest: hydrogen thrown in.
I think it works like this:
water -> (magic) -> hydrogen
^ |
| V
| combustion -> energy
|_______________|
Energy comes out, and there are no inputs. Unless, that is, one counts
the magic. Anyone want to bet that the energy required to do the magic
is less than the energy output of the system? No, I didn't think so.
