SAVE WATER, WHAT?

So you are fishing in a boat, in a river, and you are in front of a man's house along the shore. He sees you and yells out "Hey you, get off my property!".

Are you really on his property? The bottom of the river may be part of his property, but the moving water in a river cannot be owned any more than the air above it. A plane flies over his house, or a helicopter hovers 100 feet above it, can he claim they are trespassing? The moralistic question here is actually 'can we claim ownership of water?'. Water is constantly affected by climactic forces, that keep it forever in motion, evaporating and condensing, disappearing and reappearing, flowing through the cycle of the Earth's processes. How do we put a title or a deed on it?

President Obama has already appointed "CZARS" of the environmental kind. Some change that is. The notoriety of the previous 'regime' appointed several CZARS in key roles, really without much affect on their intended focus, doing more to dismay and confuse the American people and create unnecessary division of ideologies regarding environmentally sound solutions to the "energy crisis". Now Mr. Obama's environmental clan is about to be unleashed and part of the objective is to protect water. Protect water? That doesn't really make sense. There is more water on this planet then we could ever use up and it will be here long after we are extinct. Protecting water from being used up is what I suppose the plan is for. How is that even conceivable enough to make the effort and costs acceptable?

Water is our friend and so are some very ingenious minds in our world. The processes of desalination of sea-water have advanced tremendously in the past 15 years. The cost has been reduced to pennies on the dollar and the efficiency by 2000% over old methods. In fact the systems are so cheap to produce and operate, that they are being given away to third world nations with large populations in arid zones. The justifications for the acceptance of the ridiculous have run out. Saving water is ludicrous and to understand why, one has to first understand water and what it really is. Put on your helmets because the following could blow your mind. The helmet keeps the chunks from going too far.

What is Water?
If you don't know yet, it's no wonder. It's not like we have a Science Channel or a Discovery Channel to just give us that kind of information. Yes I am being sarcastic. The information age has made the excuse of information inaccessibility null and void. The blame for a lack of knowledge can no longer be placed outwardly. Now, each and every one of us is responsible for eating of the basket of apples that is available to us, all the time, 24-7, 365. Cliché maybe, but it's truth. The fact is we, as a humanity, do little on our own to educate ourselves about even the basic functions of the world, socially, politically and environmentally. Is this a lack of a desire to know or a lack of motivation to learn? I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that history proves humans have one inevitably self-destructive attribute: we wait for someone else to fix, feed, teach, save, solve, lead, and do all that in our interests. If we want things to change, we have to start there and become truly self-reliant.

What that means is not that you will now manufacture all your needs in your garage with a Dremel, but rather that we will begin to educate ourselves about the issues at hand at least, before we wait for someone else to do it, which may be never. We must enter the forum of debate knowledgeable about the details of an issue. How can we judge the merits of a plan if we don't understand the details of the components of that plan. In the case of saving water, one can't imagine why I might brazenly say that 'saving water' is a ludicrous statement unless you understand what water is scientifically and biologically, what roles it plays in what ways, and what the cycle of water is.

Water is miraculous. If we were aliens coming to Earth for the first time and scanned the liquid, we would find that it is a giant ocean of "hydrogen oxide". That's right, it's a chemical, H2O, like any other chemical on this planet, manufactured or natural. We take this fact for granted, so much so that we lose sight of it's speciality beyond the necessity. Stable and refreshing to drink and bathe in, water is made of deadly gases! Hydrogen is the lightest, most abundant gas in the universe and it burns at 3000 degrees. It will burn through steel in seconds! The other gas is Oxygen. This is a tricky gas because on the one hand it is necessary for most life, yet only in small amounts. The flip-side of Oxygen's personality is that it is incredibly poisonous, to us and many other creatures. It also burns but it is actually considered explosive. It's combustive reaction is incredibly powerful and fast, whereas hydrogen tends to burn with a flame. These two dangerous gases, in a molecule together, make our lovely, stable, friendly water.

Water has a cyclical life. It never goes away. Though the following may be basic knowledge, I am adding it for those who may not know, and to set up the follow-up. Water exists on Earth in three predominant forms: liquid, vapor and solid. Ice is the solid and is irrelevant in this case. Oceans are liquid, clouds are vapor. Clouds form from the evaporation of water. Temperature and humidity changes, along with particulates in the air, cause the water vapor to condense into large drops and thus we get rain. Water goes and comes, but never really leaves. So how can we have a water shortage? Caused less by pollution and more by a combination of natural cyclical geological activity and excessive man-made changes in terrain and water systems,
climate changes have caused localized shortages of rain and those areas then suffer for that. The very institutions who are at the root of the changes that lead to the climatic alterations, are then putting legal restrictions, fines and even laws with serious consequence, on the backs of the people in the drought stricken areas. Now that is ridiculous.

Not a single large scale effort has ever been made into capturing rain water and prolonging it's availability in areas that are prone to drought (dammed reservoirs don't count. They collect little water of the total rainfall in a given area). Apparently the scientists overlooked a very simple fact. By capturing rain water and extending the time that that water is being used in that area, also create an artificial cycle of evaporation that counters the drought cycle. The water evaporating from the usage of it in drought areas, creates water vapor, clouds, where there is usually none for long periods. This in turn changes the cycle overall, stabilizing weather patterns. If every dry area in the US alone were to practice rain water collection and extended distribution, areas like Tornado alley would not experience convergences of air patterns with extreme differences in humidity. Hot and cold mixing will still make rain, but add in extreme differences in dryness and humidity and the result is extreme climate.

According to global warming "experts", we are starting to experience a drying of the air over land causing more widespread droughts overall. If that is the case the solution should be rather clear. The air needs to be rehumidified. How the heck do you rehumidify the air over an entire nation? Consider this: Rain water capture and extended use in those areas, alone will result in dramatic climactic changes. There are millions of homes, almost none of them are capturing rain water. Why? Nobody knows who, what, and where to go to get these systems. Ironically rain capture systems are a fast growing business but the news is not getting out there. This is because the people who should be subsidizing this effort and the distribution of this knowledge are not doing so. Who are they? The kids in charge. The other even more effective way to rehumidify the air over land is our way, the Modern Power Concepts plan.

To understand our approach, we have to revisit the gaseous nature of water for a moment. Water is made of Hydrogen and Oxygen, each of which is combustible. There is a in interesting and scientifically well known property of these two gases that most average people don't know about. Hydrogen doesn't burn without the presence of oxygen. Even more interesting is the fact the these two gases don't actually burn when ignited together. Oxygen alone will explode but when Oxygen and Hydrogen are ignited together, they go through a chemical change. The Hydrogen and Oxygen recombine to form pure water and at the same time releasing huge amounts of heat. Burning hydrogen makes water vapor. If we need to rehumidify and stabilize the atmosphere, we would need millions of devices that would burn hydrogen and release water vapor into the air. How will we ever build millions of devices to do this job? How much will such a venture cost? What if I told you all the devices are there already and the cost is pee pee. That's right. The cost is so small and the effort is so little. But how can this be so simple and be a real solution? Where will we get that much hydrogen?

For more than 100 years, the process of splitting water into it's component gases has been known and practiced. It is by far, not a new science. There are several ways to do this and the way we're going to do it at Modern Power Concepts, may turn out to be the cheapest method in history. A process known as electrolysis pumps high voltage current through water to split the molecule into gases. But the classic electrolysis method uses more power going into the reaction than the power available in the hydrogen it makes. The oxygen is released and not used at all. Almost half of the energy extracted through electrolysis is released and not used! So what's the solution? Simply that there are other methods of electrolysis that have been developed over 40 years ago, that we, and others like us, are working to improve on. These methods use very little energy to produce very large amounts of hydrogen and oxygen from plain water, ie: rain water, snow, tap water, distilled water. The ratios of energy made to energy used can range from, 5:1, to even 50:1. It's almost common knowledge now, that using solar and wind to produce the power for electrolysis, would make the process much cheaper. We believe we at MPC, are on the verge of making it even cheaper than anyone ever imagined without using anything more than a battery, forever.

Ok, so we now know how to make cheap hydrogen from water. How do we rehumidify the atmosphere with it!?! How about if the answer is all these millions of cars, trucks, buses, and homes. How about all these industrial complexes and malls. How about anything that runs on electricity or burns fuel (including natural gas), can be run by a variety of systems, (that we are designing as you read this), designed to be fitted to existing devices (cars, homes, etc.) to allow them to run on Hydrogen and Oxygen created from water. How about if these systems didn't even store the gases, but rather, produces these gases on demand. While you drive, while you live in your house, while you work. As the world goes about it's daily activities, these systems crank out hydrogen and oxygen combinations and feed them to a variety of system configurations, to either burn them as in a car engine or to use them for electricity production as in fuel cells. Remember those nifty rainwater capture systems? That's where your hydrogen will come from. No drinking water, no ground water, no municipal water is touched. The vehicles that exist today, can be fitted with these systems, the home and businesses can be fitted with these systems and in varying combinations with solar and wind depending on the power demands of the respective application.

Millions of cars and homes would be producing thousands of tons of water vapor in areas that would otherwise be bone dry for months at time, depriving people of water, lifestyle and even some freedom. A completely unnecessary scenario. The solution sounds even too simple. Many will scorn these statements and say that solutions to such complex problems as our, have to be equally complex. Well, if anyone wants to walk through the thorny brush instead of the clear path, we all are free to chose, but only for ourselves. If the scientists and the government say that this is all very new and has yet to be researched, it's baloney. The research and the discoveries are approaching the qualification to be termed "ancient news". The solutions are here, we and many more are working on this now. Along with key people like Mr. Pickens and other like-minded, powerful and influential people, we can make remarkable changes to our condition and finally, dispel and forever dismiss the myth of the "energy crisis".

Water can be anywhere we need it to be. We just have to be slick about how we approach the issue. Where there is a will, there is a way. Water doesn't go away, it just doesn't always go where we need it. Since the cycle of water is a closed circuit, we can rewire it and change the way we use it to be in harmony with the way nature works. At the same time we will solve the alternative fuel problem, mass generation of electricity problem, and lift the fear of doom from mankind. The money that this will save people means there will be more money to spend everywhere else, including finding real solutions to the strife in our world. We don't need to save water, we need to store, manage and use water, wisely.

I am Bogdan Asciu, president of Modern Power Concepts and though my company is a start-up right now, we are fast on our way to making hydrogen a reality in the US and eventually globally. My goal is to make America the model for the world. I believe we can do it, I have plans and methods to educate and spread the word to the masses, but I can't do it alone. This mission needs funding support right now, but only from people who share the pursuit for a solution, quickly and simply. I can't do this alone, and though I have made incredible head way with prototyping parts of my system design, for very little capital, the lack of funding has slowed down the progress. I need help to make this happen. Same as T. Boone needs help, so do the efforts of those behind Modern Power Concepts. We want to eventually connect with Mr. Pickens because part of our plans for a national system include wind and solar technologies and implementations. I believe and project that, with the right team, the right approach to Capitol Hill and the right dollars behind the entire concept, we can make the change in 5 years and pay it off in 10 years. We can do it with minimal effort and discomfort. We can do it without compromise to the American dream. On the contrary, I hope to finally make the American dream more possible for more people than ever before.

We invite help form anyone who supports our ideology and our vision for a solution. Helping us is simple. We are selling Modern Power Concepts tee-shirts from which all the proceeds go to fund our research and development in Hydrogen On Demand. Simply go to our parent company online store, in the "Modern Power Concepts" section and start shopping.

For anyone who knows what petroleum is, they also know that petroleum serves over 90% of ALL industries including foods and food manufacturing and processing. The collapse of the oil industry would lead to the most catastrophic collapse of the global economy that literally, life as we know it would cease and we would be plunged into the dark ages in the blink of an eye. We don't want that to happen, hence we have not made it our mission, as some others in this business are motivated, to set out and eliminate the oil companies. On the contrary, we want to share our visions for all our benefit. Part of our mission at Modern Power Concepts is to help prevent further economic havoc. We would like to tell you what we think is possible.]
