Paul,

    I don't know if this has any relevance to rotary engines.  After
reading the posts on deisel fuel, I thought it might.
    Do you know about magnegas?  Is there anything to it?

    If you are not familiar with this process, and have time to browse
the website, I would be grateful for your opinion.  Thanks, Tom Mayer


IMHO it stinks of a stock scam :-) Sewer gas has been around for ever and
here in
California they just burn it off. We got plenty :-) If it was a useful energy
source surely we would have exploited it by now as we have literally mountains
of garbage and a dearth of energy.

This stuff is "magnetically polarized gas"   made up of about 50/50 hydrogen
and carbon monoxide.  Not particularly new.  Claim low emissions, so what,
hydrogen burns with only water emissions.  Not good enough at chemistry
anymore to see why getting some of your oxygen from carbon monoxide
might be better than just getting it from the air.  CO burns to CO2, H burns to
H2O,  maybe OK, doesn't sound like any breakthru.

I suspect a stock scam too.  I'd sure verify the scientists CVs in detail, too.
