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:

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:

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.

- 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.

Why The Future of Transportation Fuel Is Hydrogen
A recent television ad from Exxon/Mobil introduces the concept of an on-board fuel reformer for vehicles (view the ad here). These devices combine water and oil (or another feedstock) at elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst to produce Hydrogen fuel for the vehicle. This sounds very complicated but it really isn’t that hard to understand. I have

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

Laurence Grigorov said… - Hi Mike,
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

Tom Bailey said… - Hey young man;
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!

And the alternative Wind Turbine... I'll see that piece of work myself when I travel to East Troy to see Jimmy Buffett at Aprine Valley, in August. ;-)

Your body of work is very impressive! Busy right now on some other projects, but will be getting back to you so I can pick your brain. We are under a real deadline here. I am new to Pickens, but working every day at it!
