Many in our communities are focused on the Short Term. Oil is at its lowest price in some time. But what we have to focus on is that we Cannot Sustain this course of action and everyone knows it. We have all been told since the 1970's that we will run out of oil one day. Well guess what, I would like to get off the train BEFORE it runs off the track not during. This is guarenteed to be a national crisis unless we choose to act now and change our sources of energy.

Hi Chris,
I'm ready to go to print and into schools with my Power Families series of three books about children who live on renewable energy farms.I've launched an exciting, crowd fund-raising project to do this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1642371480/the-power-families-clean-energy-kids-books-project . In return for pledges people receive discounted copies of the books and other, unique, limited edition goodies.
Wired Magazine has just given me a great review: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/04/celebrate-earth-day-with-the-power-families/ .
So far I've funded the series from my own pocket, and now the Kickstarter Project is my way to be able to get the renewable energy message to kids much quicker, and with a far greater reach, than I can otherwise.
Renewable energy is an exciting subject, fundamental to the power needs of us all.
Please support me to help get this important and exciting subject into schools and help spread the word!
Many thanks and all best wishes, Suse

PICS:
Smack's Gen III Booster Kit with my optional substitute CVBCC 4 High heat Body.
I'm attempting to solve the "Hydroxy On Demand" problem by creating a sort of "Plug In Hybrid"; using household current, and Solar to provide at least I estimate, observing the charging status of the Alternator, aprox. 40 mins. of HOH producction.
Of course the gain of Hydroxy is offset if the vehicle does not have a powerful, fully charged battery as the engine will have to constantly drive the Alternator, off-setting any gains.
Few years back I bought several Hydrogen Electrolizers, including a Smack's Gen III booster, still have it in the box, FOR SALE, as I just was interested in the design. Designed my own tHOHr 404 Unit, very heavy duty with gray 4", and Sewer High temp pvc. I have also installed in addition to a Dual Purpose Series 27 battery, a Deep Cycle marine Series 27, and a 15 watt Solar panel. I charge up the batteries over night with a trickle Charger. I like to run the tHOHr 404 Unit no hotter than 28 Amps after. Several pics on my page of: tHOHr 404 Unit. Induction including a Large Cyclone Vortex around the Throttle Body of a Dodge 5.2L 250 Series van. Defineate improvement, and performance.
Thank you for your interest, I relocated to Houston and lost touch some with Pickens. I've returned in hopes of propelling good works forward for all the right reasons. I will update my page as well. Let's keep in touch.
All the best

Kim was the glue that held it all together. Without her our growth has almost stopped. She has a lot to do, but maybe we can convince her to comeback at least on a part time basis to get recruiting moving again. We should have a lot more people on board at this time, and numbers do make a difference!

If you really want to understand, find out where commercial hydrogen comes from (hint, it is NOT water)
That being said. CNG does work. It works NOW... it is available safely. When one of my lead engineers found out about the XQF-50 he was researching hydrogen as a car fuel. The biggest problem is that it is explosive over such a large range.
