Direct Cylinder Injection: An engine fuel delivery system that injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber thus eliminating the presence of fuel in the intake system of the engine. Direct Cylinder SparkInjection: 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 This type of SparkInjection system can be retrofitted on gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines to increase fuel efficiency by 20% or more while allowing the converted engine to operate at this efficiency level interchangeably on gasoline or hydrogen with the flip of a switch. It's a mode of Direct Cylinder Injection that provides stratified charge operation in which fuel is injected and burned before it reaches the piston, cylinder wall or head components providing a more complete burn and therefore higher efficiency.. SparkInjection converted engines using hydrogen achieve further efficiency and power production improvements by the much faster hydrogen combustion advantage and avoidance of diesel delay and knock. Hy-Boost Fuels: Mixtures of hydrogen and other fuels to provide improved combustion rate and the ability to operate engines without throttling the air to provide air/fuel mixtures that are spark-ignitable. Peak Oil: Occurs when oil extraction and processing can no longer meet world demand. Due to the finite nature of fossil fuels this marks the beginning of a permanent decline in oil output creating intense competition for short supplies. Competition and conflict grow in proportion to the decline in oil supplies and the increase in demand for oil. Peak oil imposes enormous economic and social disruptions and the more highly developed oil-dependent nations will suffer the greatest loss of productivity and economic security. Peak Oil is not about running out of oil; in many ways its worse because it is happening without countermeasures to mitigate the harm 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. Many of the science oriented, independent experts predict the impact of Peak Oil to be widespread within a few years and most within a decade. Few, if any predict it later than 2020. 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 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 $59 and the world burns about 84 million barrels every day. This gives the oil industry gross profits of over $1.5 Trillion (not billion)/ year. A windfall profits tax would be more appropriate than subsidies. 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. Undepletable Hydrogen: hydrogen produced with less than 20% of the energy used to produce it coming from fossil or radioactive energy sources. Undepletable Energy Resources: Biogas or other feedstocks produced with less than 25% of the energy used to produce them coming from fossil or radioactive energy resources. |
