Hydroxy Research Group Meeting Minutes for 23 May 2007

1. "Ron from Ripon" appeared as a guest at the HRG meeting, and told
about his vehicle gasification project, where he burned wood, manure,
straw or whatever was available, to produce combustion gasses to power
his vehicle. Ron got his inspiration from the efforts in WW2 where
these technologies were developed. Ron's efforts occurred quite some
time in the past (1980's?) and he could be seen for some time,
powering his vehicle around town, with what amounted to refuse. HRG
members present were duly impressed, and inspired to complete their
hydroxy vehicle systems, following in the footsteps of this pioneer, Ron.
2. HRG member Brad was at last recovered enough from his illness to
attend the meeting, and he presented the following circuitry, diagrams
and information necessary for hydrolyzer experiments, taken from
Patrick Kelly's CD "Practical Guide to Electronics and Free-Energy
Devices" : a) HOTSABE's direct 12 volts from alternator/battery,
using ignition switch and relay for his hydroxy boost E-cell. b)
Bedini's self-synchronous, cell-resonance seeking driver circuit. c)
Several simple 555 timer cell-driver circuits. d) Several water-level
sensing circuits for keeping hydrolyzer cells topped off with water.
e) Two more complex driver circuits, like those used by Stan Meyers.
f) Circuitry to deal with the vehicle's computer, which otherwise
would cause the engine to run rich.
3. Pros and cons and the uses, needs, and requirements of these
circuits were debated, with the papers & diagrams being passed around
and examined.
4. HRG member "C" suggested that bench testing of various circuitry
and gas production was in order before proceeding with vehicle
installation. Brad agreed that this was a prudent move, and as
construction of the more complex circuitry systems involved increasing
expenses to construct, he would proceed with the most simple systems,
and work his way up to more complexity, stopping when achieving
sufficient hydroxy production for vehicle propulsion, thus avoiding
unnecessary expense and complexity of the more complicated designs.
5. HRG members grumped that there were no complete, step-by-step
plans, and that it was necessary to work from what was known, and
experiment. Brad laughingly replied that was our job, we were an
experimental group, and hopefully the result of efforts would be the
very documentation that group members were wishing for! This obtained
some long faces and further debate!
6. HRG member David spoke about a system he had installed in his car,
which helped to reduce pollution, so that he could get his older
vehicle in compliance with local smog requirements. It seems that
standard carburetion (or fuel injection) does not burn fuel
completely, and it is these unburned gasses that David's device
captured and consumed. HRG members commented that the only residues
from hydroxy consumption was water vapors.
7. David spoke of heath benefits from drinking water, which had
Brown's Gas bubbled through it, for those present who had not heard
this presentation before. (No volunteers were forthcoming to further
explore this revelation)

No further HRG business was forthcoming and meeting was adjourned
until next Tuesday's meeting in Najeba's Café.
