Big Rigs Go High Tech
pottercw writes "Trucking may not seem like a high-tech industry to the casual observer, but major carriers are starting to adopt an array of emerging technologies to combat rising fuel costs, tighter regulation and fierce competition. The technologies include systems that monitor and communicate vehicle conditions and performance, enhanced GPSs that keep tabs on tractors and trailers, and safety systems which issue warnings or even take action to help drivers avoid an accident — all working in real time. Computerworld has a cool mouseover diagram highlighting some of the gadgets we're beginning to see on high-tech trucks."
The California prison guards will beat' em to it.
And to all who desire a way to improve their fuel efficiency: Greetings:
Have either of you ever heard of a process known simply as "Water Electrolysis"? I first was approached on a branch of this subject back in High Schrool in a DNA Science lesson concerning the migration of Nucleic Acids over a gelatin substrate when a current of ~1000ma at ~12V DC. Moving on, simply placing two opposing nodes of stainless-steel or aluminum in a glass cup of water under charge would reveal that a reaction occurs on the metal that dissipates any of a number of gasses. Some call it Brown's Gas, others call it HHO (short for the broken H20 into HHO). I've been experimenting with Stainless Steel alloys of 302, 304, 316, and 316L, and having recently obtained a good source of 316L twisted cable assembly in scrap-form from the distributorship of CR Laurence via a jobsite down in my southern California state, have begun moving onto a number of phases to rework a number of small combustion engines to run entirely on HHO without having purchased any petroleum product with exception of oil to keep the mechanics slick.
water4gas.com [water4gas.com] has a fine repository of schematics, supplements, and support for said subject. It's inexpensive to do in one's free time, and there's nothing to lose. Hope you spread the Word on this matter to as many as possible.
