The Way To Go - "Virgin Atlantic"!

With that "Ethanol Blending Fuel" that has been running those "model" planes long years ago. Have "CONCORDE" (wings) will fly!

[Commander_Spock]

Oh! Oh!

"He said ethanol freezes at 15,000 feet and that butanol, a fuel similar to gasoline that can be made from biomass, may be a better alternative. It is also less corrosive than ethanol..." Now, there are those questions of finding those "pre-heating" and "anti-corrosive" solutions!

Why not try Rocket Fuels extracted from Water on "demand basis" only?

Biofuel is better than Fossil fuels but still it is not the cleanest and the cheapest solution why not try Rocket Fuel(HHO) extracted &#38; derived from Water.

Why can't they resolve these Problems with a permanent solution as said herein below:-
In Same Principles- Water Power could be used to run Power Stations &#38; Jet Planes Instead

Water(The Rocket Fuel) Miracle -The Truly Divine Gift of Enormous Power Storage &#38; Reserve

Every Country in the World has a great responsibility to control the further release &#38; emission of Green House Gases from Fossil Oil/Fuels and to look for the really clean &#38; cheap alternative fuels to replace Petrol/Diesel/Kerosene/Coal/Natural Gas/Lignite in order to reduce the incidences of Global Warming that will cause hardships &#38; deaths in many Natural Disasters cause by adversed climatic changes.

The same principles will be applicable to Power Stations which will save most of the money from fuel costs and they can now reduce their present tariffs by 80% with hydrogen &#38; oxygen (HHO) gases extracted &#38; derived from Water as their final fuel source. Quote: "Obviously Water holds a better promise as the Alternative Fuel:-In our school days we have learnt in Physics that it possible to split water into its basic atomic components with the application of electricity but even great scientists overlooked the fact that Water is by itself the better, more efficient and safer storage of power, the promise water has as an alternative fuel has been unlimited using a simple process of using electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen only when required and "on demand" basis only, where the hydrogen &#38; oxygen gases' power to drive a car engine will also recharge the battery (minimum 9 volts) that originally did the electrolysis splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen and also the hydrogen will be only produced when needed just before starting the engine and the electrolysis process will be switched-off when switching off the engine at the same time. This hydrogen &#38; oxygen (HHO) gases-run engines will run cars, SUVs, trucks, buses, trains and Jet Airplanes &#38; Power Stations &#38; as Rocket's Fuel as well no fuel was found to be more powerful this far if you study Rocket Science, therefore more so cheaply and successfully that no other alternative fuels would ever be needed"

Please watch the "youtube" clip on what the HHO gases can do and in the Same Principles, this could also be applicable to run Power Stations as well instead to replace Natural Gas or other fuels:-

9v battery will create hydrogen from water: reader comment from Zupek

Story: Alternative fuel for thought

Go home, fill a small dish with water. Go get a NEW and FULLY CHARGE 9v battery. Put one wire to the positive and put it in the water and do the same for the negative.

Those bubbles you see in the water are HYDROGEN and OXYGEN. and it took hardly any power...

Water - the divine gift has the power to give life to all beings on earth or this universe will also give power to all common internal combustion engines in the simple process of electrolysis to produce the fuels in the form of hydrogen &#38; oxygen gases HHO that we would ever need to run everything on earth in including power stations &#38; as rockets' fuels.

sigh... ignorance

Because it takes more energy to harvest that hydrogen and oxygen than it can produce.

Scientists have been struggling with Hydrogen on demand power for decades, and I believe that will be our next energy source. Biofuel is a waste of time, but it's not about "trying" hydrogen, it's simply that no systems have been invented *AND* proven that can overcome the energy hurdle, just rumors and speculation.
