may be the x difference between factory equipment and 3rd party retrofit. In this Opel Karavan the tank seems to be located under the floor.

I do not understand whey you must fill the trunk of a natural gas car with a gas tank. Is there a reason that a natural gas car cannot replace the gasolne tank?.

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?: Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:: I have done independent research in making the production of H2 from water by electrolysis more efficient.
Here is a website I did a long time ago which summarizes what I was doing then:

http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/

There is more that I need to get written up but I have been too busy..
I have done quite a bit of writing on the web supporting hydrogen energy.
Here are two websites I write on:

Or, here is a feed from Daily Life which will give you all the stuff I write:

http://labs.daylife.com/journalist/mike_johnston

I wrote an explanation of the steam reforming/partial oxidation process that a rep from an oil services company called the best and most understandable she had ever seen.
Alternative energy and especially hydrogen energy have been a passion of mine for many years now and I would LOVE to be more involved in promoting it and in educating people on it.

If anyone needs to contact me outside this site you can;

email me at enki09@gmail.com
message me on yahoo at mj_17870

be my friend on myspace http://www.myspace.com/enki09

What excites you about this campaign?: The opportunity to help create REAL results rather than just more dry theory and debate.

What do you want to do to help?: I am working to promote the Pickens Plan and am starting a green energy business of my own in Pennsylvania. I am already in the process of negotiating distributorships with equipment manufacturers.

Introduction of The Natural Gas Act of 2009 (video)

I made this video of the introduction of the Natural gas Act of 2009 earlier this year and thought I would share it so people could get an idea of what it is about. This is the first of four parts, links to the other 3 parts are below. I guess it is a really basic documentary:

Natural Gas Vehicles Get No Respect

John Gartner — June 26, 2009
Natural gas is the Rodney Dangerfield of transportation fuels. It’s cheap. It’s clean. But consumers don’t have much of a chance to use it it because there’s only model of natural gas car for sale.
Billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens has been beating the drum the loudest lately about the merits of natural gas as a clean(er) fuel that can also make the U.S. more energy independent. His argument was bolstered this week by the discovery that the U.S. may have 35 perce… Continue

Truck Owner Operator Organization Voices Support For Pickens Plan!

In the article below Landline Magazine (published by the Owner Operator & Independent Driver Association OOIDA) voiced definite support for Boone Pickens plan to convert freight hauling trucks to natural gas fuel. Energy independence and national security are obvious concerns for us all but probably for no other group as much as the independent truck owner who's business lives or dies on the price of fuel.

Could LNG be a lifeline for truckers?

Can Freight Rail Be The Green Freight Transportation Solution?

We have all seen freight trains pulling rail cars loaded with truck trailers and shipping containers but it wasn't until I saw an ad on TV recently that I really started thinking about the potential of intermodal transportation from a "green" perspective. The ads claim that freight trains can move a ton of freight 436 miles on a gallon of diesel fuel and that is probably true. Compare that to the mileage of a tractor/trailer on the highway and the difference is obviously huge. Imagine a future i… Continue

As I mentioned below, our company, IMT, has been working on a very unique type of fuel reformer and purifier for the last 10 years which has gold as the active compund as opposed to platinum or other heavy metals.

I read your article recently and i thought that you might be able to assist us in trying to commercialise this product or helping us find interested parties or even just pointing us in the right direction as you are very active in this field.

I would really appreciate it if we could possibly get your email address to send you more detailed information on the product and what it can do.
Obviously it's quite difficult to do this through the website.

Thanking you in advance.
Laurence

Laurence stopped by my page and posed this question.

Thank you for the welcome.

I recently read an interesting article by Mike Johnston about Reformers.
Our company is situated in South Africa and Bulgaria and we are currently debeloping a unique type of fuel reformer that can be used for both ICE as well as Fuel Cells. It has some extremely unique characteristics.

We are looking for assistance in commercialising this reformer and i was hoping to try and get Mike's contact details as he may be able to point us in the right direction or possibly assist us.

i would appreciate it if you could help me.
Can you follow up if you like.
Best; Tom

Thanks again!
