  1. Quackery? on Hydrogen-based Rotary Engine? · · Score: 1

    Interesting link http://www.storesonline.com/site/252450/page/40107 If this isn't working, an explanation is required of the process. The site sells welding equipment powered by, what appears to be a similar idea. The inventor is an Australian, who was born in Bulgaria during the comunist era and escaped in a manner that would shame 007. He is an electrical engineer by trade, called Yull Brown (his adopted name, Yull after Yul Bryner, Brown after the US major who helped him escape). He developed ( can't say invented as this other man seems to have done the same thing) a process for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and storing the two in a stable state. What you do with it after is up to the imagination. The link is to a site selling (thats right they are real) gas welding/cutting equipment powered by this gas (he terms it Brown's Gas). It is capable of welding almost any metal (aluminium to tungston, yes I know the melt temperatures are vastly different, read the scientists report on the site). It can also burn holes on refactory tiles and fire bricks with ease. The use of it as a fuel in engines is beautifuly simple. Normal engines run and a confined explosion, feed in liquid and gas, burn, forms larger volume of gas. This works on confined vacum, for want of a better phrase. Introduce two gasses, burn, forms liquid at hugely reduced volume (ratio is about 1800:1). Instead of pushing the rotor round as normal, it is sucked round.
