Hi Mehdi,

 

You have some good points.

 

What is great is that you are all talking
about this now which was the intended result. As I said I hope you look at the
videos and debate.

Ironically, water vapour is the biggest "green house gas"
e.g. clouds

 

But seriously Michael, I assume you are a "hamshahri" so I am
trying to help. You can’t base your knowledge on Youtube videos. 

 

There are lots of ways you can help the environment, but this is not
it.

exact answers for without doing complex analysis and a lot of research into.
IMHO one thing is quite clear and that there is a net benefit. If you reduce
the components that make CO2 then you are making a net saving.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>Once the CO2 emissions for creating the solar panel are taken into
account over time the energy generation will have few components that need
external energy thus external CO2 emissions. The water is the part that will
create CO2 because some pumping station somewhere is delivering the water to
you however in countries like w:st="on">UK
that can be removed from the CO2 chain if we simple gather rain water from our
roof which easily eliminates the need for that. Also after burning the fuel you
are left with steam so you can gather the steam and reuse it again in a semi
circular fashion to reduce water loss.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>Also taking into account the amount of energy digging for coal or
oil and processing the fuel and transportation consumes and adds to the CO2
emission it makes perfect sense to produce your fuel locally thus eliminating
the need for all the other factors in the chain that are high CO2 emitters.
Also we lose a huge amount of electricity in the grid itself simply by trying
to get the power around. If you could and you can produce your energy locally
in a town or in your home etc then there are huge savings in terms of cost and
CO2 emissions that can be had.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>Certainly from the video you can see how easy it is to run a car on
HHO so if you could convert every car to run on water in a very short period of
time the CO2 emissions from cars would be almost zero (Newly made cars will
create CO2 when they are made) because the by product of burning the Hydrogen
is steam, so basically you turn the gas back into water. There are very
interesting ways that you can utilise this.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>Imagine a power station near the sea. There are many arid or semi
areas on the planet that are not too far from the sea and have good all year
sun light. w:st="on">California for one
and there are hundreds like it. Now if the power station uses sea water which
is even better than tap water since salt is a good conductor of electricity buy
burning the HHO in a power station you can create power locally which reduces
loss in the grid, the by product will be steam which will condense into
distilled water which can be used for drinking and agriculture thus decreasing
environmental pollution and its sustainable. There are videos on youtube if you
are interested that show people doing this at home using HHO to fuel their
house and generate electricity in their homes very easily and they don’t
even live in a sunny place.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>Hi Everyone,

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>I don’t usually make a lot of contribution to this community
so I thought it may be a good time to do so. I have a passion for keeping our
planet alive and well and over past few years I have been looking into technologies
that are available that can radically change the way we pollute the environment
and in turn reduce carbon emissions.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>So I thought I share some interesting videos from youtube with you
to kick start the debate and in turn perhaps some of you will find it
interesting enough to start your own ventures for the future.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>Now the buzz word right now is clean energy and most politicians
tell us that it will take 30 years before we can begin to reduce our CO2
emissions in any meaningful way. Well my answer to that is baloney.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>The technologies that we need are here and simple to use and in
fact they were invented over 100 years ago and the buzz word is H2O or hydrogen
to make it simple to understand. All you need to make hydrogen from tap water
is direct current and that’s it. You can power cars, that is your car
with a bottle of water so easily that you wouldn’t believe it. The videos
below will show you some of the ways that other people are going about powering
vehicles on this technology and it doesn’t need a fuel cell either. The
H2O can be directly connected to a carburettor to power a car.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>In fact there are kits for a few pounds that you can buy and run
your car on hydrogen tomorrow and the good things is that first it is a clean
fuel, secondly it cost almost nothing compared to Petrol.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>This first video shows a guy who connected a can of water to his
engine and runs his car with it. No extra conversions needed.

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkV54htvOQs&feature=related

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>This one shows a toy car using a fuel cell running on water:

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UORVzauh98Q&feature=related

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>How to make a simple H2O Fuel cell. If you did chemistry in school
in 5th grade they would show you this. Connect a couple of plates to
electricity to cause electrolysis to split water into its components:

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz-uHj79wy0&feature=channel

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>This one starts you up on the path of making complex pulse
modulated H2O generation that creates a lot of gas and consumes much lower
energy, You may need some electronics knowledge for this one:

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=vp6HTFcbtdU&NR=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=vp6HTFcbtdU&NR=1

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>More:

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuLnWHC63gk&feature=related

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>IMHO without getting too political is that most governments and oil
dependent companies try to tell us that this kind of science is actually
science fiction and you should not try it at home, in fact tomorrow the
government can tell everyone that there is a small subsidy for using H2O and
believe it or not it costs less that 500 pounds to convert your car and run it
on water, but naturally no tax for the government from oil and world chaos will
follow if everyone was to do this. It will mean that you can cook for free with
just a small solar panel on your roof and generate H2O which also replaces
natural gas for cooking and heating your house and it will cost you a big ZERO
indefinitely or until your Solar panel blows up color=navy face=Wingdings>J

size=2 color=navy face=Arial> 

size=2 color=navy face=Arial>I hope this is been interesting for you and may be it will give you
guys some interesting ideas for the future. If you like more in depth knowledge
about the ideas here ping me and I can point you into more complex ways of
generating energy from tap water.

size=3 face="Times New Roman">At least based on
my experience, having worked at a couple of successful london digital
agencies… much as we hated it, if you’re going after large accounts, it’s
become the accepted norm that you will have to go through an extensive pitch
process, generally at no cost to the end client. Obviously this can become very
expensive for the pitching agency, very quickly…!

pitching is absolutely not the right way to go. A pitch should cost the agency
thousands or they’re just not doing it right.

I have a good friend that has used target="_blank">www.99designs.com < target="_blank">http://www.99designs.com/> . When he showed me his end
product I could not believe he’d only paid US$300 for it ! It was logo and
a business card. Very impressive.

size=2 face=Arial>
I think the way it works is that various freelancers read your profile and then
produce a mock up. You can then say what you like / don’t like and they fine
tune it until you get what you want.
 
I’ve not used it myself
yet, but when I’m ready – I’ve always thought that would be my first port of
call….

What attracts me to it is that there are a number of people pitching for your
business. Needless to say – some of these will not be any good – but some of
them will be…

Thanks.
