Abundant Energy: Each day the sun’s radiation provides earth with the energy equivalent of 2.5 Trillion Barrels of oil. That’s roughly 1.4 times the number of barrels of oil earth has ever held and 5.9 million times the 84 million barrels of oil we currently burn each day. Clearly solar energy is the most abundant energy form on Earth.
Nature delivers and stores vast amount of its solar energy in fairly constant strong winds and tall waves, falling water, sun baked deserts and biomass where it can be easily tapped and serve humanity virtually without pollution or greenhouse gas production.
Abundant Clean Fuel: Virtually all Undepletable Energy can be stored and transported as hydrogen which can fuel gasoline and diesel engines with an inexpensive conversion, as well as combustion turbines. Hydrogen is the medium that morphs America’s Abundant Energy into an abundance of clean fuel that can power American and world prosperity.
BTU or British Thermal Unit: The quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a specified temperature, usually 59 to 60 degrees.
Direct Cylinder fuel Injection: Any engine fuel system that injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber thus eliminating the presence of fuel in the intake system of the engine. The century old Stratified Charge, direct cylinder injection of diesel fuel in high compression engines allows diesel engines to run 20% to 70% more efficiently than low compression gasoline engines and illustrates one version of this technology.
Direct Cylinder SparkInjection: This new, but proven form of Direct Cylinder Fuel Injection can be retrofitted on today’s gasoline engines and increase fuel efficiency by 20% or more while allowing the converted engine to operate on hydrogen or gasoline with the flip of a switch. Diesel engines converted with this technology gain as much as 5% increased efficiency. Direct Cylinder SparkInjection technology provides converted gasoline engines with the same unrestricted air entry and Stratified Charge benefits that enable diesel engines to achieve 20% to 70% greater efficiency. Engines converted to this technology using hydrogen achieve further efficiency and higher power production from the much faster burning rate of hydrogen and avoidance of diesel delay and knock.(Please see definition of Stratified Charge for further explanation of efficiency gains.)
Hy-Boost Fuels: Mixtures of hydrogen and other fuels to provide improved combustion rate and the ability to operate engines without throttling the air. Hydrogen provides spark-ignition benefits at very lean fuel/air mixtures.
OPEC: The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries consisting of Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela.
Peak Oil: Peak Oil occurs when oil extraction and processing can no longer meet world oil demand. Due to the finite nature of fossil fuels, this marks the beginning of a permanent decline in oil output creating increasing competition for short supplies. Competition and conflict grow in proportion to the increase in demand for declining oil output. Peak oil imposes enormous economic and social disruptions and the more highly developed oil-dependent nations will suffer the greatest loss of productivity, prosperity and security. Peak Oil is not about running out of oil; in many ways it is worse because it promotes conflict fueled by oil and is progressing without countermeasures to mitigate the harms it causes.
Increased international tensions, continuous wars, recessions, depression and social chaos can arise from Peak Oil as high oil prices and reduced supplies destroy productivity and cut-off large segments of the population from the necessities of life.
Worse yet, a recent consultant’s report to the U S Department of Energy states that it would take 20 years prior to Peak Oil to make a smooth transition from oil to other depletable replacement fuels and that 10 years of preparation would help but not avert massive liquid fuel shortages and massive social and economic disruptions.
Peak oil is bad for humanity but great for oil suppliers demanding record-breaking Peak Profits.
Peak Profits: Peak profits are those derived from excessive price increases unrelated to the cost of crude oil extraction, processing, and marketing. Look at this, in the U. S. oil costs about $10 per barrel to extract and send to market; in the Persian Gulf countries it costs about $1.50/ barrel. Today a barrel sells for $50 to $62 and the world burns about 84 million barrels every day. This gives the oil industry gross profits of over $1.5 Trillion not billion) per year. A windfall profits tax would be more appropriate than subsidies to increase oil extraction and more quickly deplete America’s dwindling oil reserves..
Well over half of this money flows to Middle East countries so dictators can pay tribute for protection of their oil fields to the violent radicals who kill young Americans every day. And you and I pay again for our side of this hopeless oil war with lives and taxes.
Stratified Charge: Stratified charge combustion delivers fuel into excess air which serves to insulate the combustion process thus conserving heat for production of work. Stratified charge combustion is far more fuel efficient than the homogeneous charge combustion used in gasoline engines today. This type of homogeneous mixture of fuel and air contacts the surfaces of the combustion chamber and allows much greater heat escape into the combustion chamber materials instead of using it for work.
Undepletable Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced from Undepletable Energy Resources, such as direct solar, wind, wave, falling water and biomass wastes.
Undepletable Energy or Undepletable Energy Resources: Solar, wind, wave, falling water, and biomass from which conveniently utilized fuels and electricity can be made.
Radioactive Fuels: Uranium and other depletable fuels that give off dangerous radioactive emissions. This includes all radioactive fuels for commercial, government, and defense nuclear reactors.
