Question by Vitki: What is the specific impulse and fuel consumption of the VASIMR engine?
Best answer:
Answer by ronwizfr This paper http://www.adastrarocket.com/TimSTAIF2005.pdf quotes 5,000-12,000s for the specific impulse, but I remember also having seen values that were in the 20,000s and more.
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Specific_Impulse_Magnetoplasma_Rocket quotes 0.5 N for the thrust, a number I found in a lot of places, but that seems pretty low

In Bihar, turning rice husk into electricity
When we hear the word innovation, we often think of new technologies or silver bullet solutions — like hydrogen fuel cells or a cure for cancer. To be sure, breakthroughs are vital: antibiotics and vaccines, for example, transformed global health. But as we’ve argued in Fixes, some of the greatest advances come from taking old ideas or technologies and making them accessible to millions of … Read more on NDTV
The Most Exciting Product of CES 2011: Horizon’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Packs
If you ask most journalists what the most exciting product of CES 2011 was, the answer will be a tablet. Most likely the Motorola Xoom. Personally, I find it hard to get too excited about a product… Read more on I4U
Gorilla Developers has been working on creating a method of extracting Hydrogen from water and an electrolyte solution. This has now … all » been achieved. See the video to understand the incredible volume of Hydrogen being extracted. How is this achieved? Using 30 amps from your alternator on standard vehicles for the 20-Cell electrolyzer we weave this energy Through an over 40 stainless steel plates which extract the Hydrogen necessary to aid in increased fuel combustion efficiency. What does this mean to me? Your vehicle will have substantially increased fuel combustion. [Most vehiclesonly burn less than 50% of the fuel injected into your cylinder because of a lack of Oxygen and Hydrogen] The lower your mileage directly relates to the lack of your engines efficiency. Increasing the efficiency of the burn provides a requirement of less fuel [less pedal being required to achieve/maintain speed.] Visit our web site and register today. www.GetHydroPower.com We seek local sales staff and installation locations.

Question by Princess: How do I make learning about hydrogen fuel cells fun?
I’m doing a presentation on hydrogen fuel cells & I want to make it interesting & entertaining. Any ideas? I was going to make a hydrogen fuel cell generator but it’s very expensive.

Answer by Colin Talk about the possiblities of space travel because of hydrogen fuel. Talk about the possibilites for cars powered by water! Just talk about really neat things that can be done with hydrogen power.
Stan Meyer developed a water “splitter” that separated hydrogen from oxygen, and burned the hydrogen as fuel in an internal combustion engine. I wonder why this technology has never been presented as an alternative to fossil fuels? Video Rating: 4 / 5
Steven Chu: an international fuel bank can ensure peaceful use of nuclear energy
Every year, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the nuclear watchdog arm of the UN, gathers ministers from around the world to discuss ways to promote nuclear energy, strengthen efforts to keep other countries from illegally acquiring nuclear weapons, reduce stockpiles of nuclear weapons, and keep nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists.

Here’s a cut from the “documentary” it’s run on water where we see a demonstration of the Water Fuel Cell of Stanley A Meyer who died in 1998. Many believe he was poisonned
when I was younger, I used to think that Nuclear Power Plants used nuclear material to collect electrons, but now I know that it’s only the heat given off that creates steam which turns a turbine.
HOW LAME!
Why can’t we use nuclear material to create electricity directly?
Or maybe even replace electrons altogehter.. replace the electrons with some other charged particle that repells objects similar to magnatism, maybe then we will no longer need copper wire???? If we could find an alternative to electrons and have repulsion properties, we could re-invent the electric motor, make it so that it works directly from nuclear material??
Guys! go see
if we can use an ATOMIC BATTERY then why can’t we make a lifter with an onboard energy supply?
Hydrogen Fuel Co., Inc. has been involved in alternative fuels for over 30 years. With focus on development and education of hydrogen fuel technology they are helping to bring about clean energy goals set forth by the Government. Advance Tech Engineering is a 10 year old company in Idaho that specializes in building breathing equipment for scuba divers. This company also has experience in HHO and has built a Geo Metro to run exclusively on HHO produced from Water. Here they show how this is done. For more information visit www.hydrogenfuelco.com.
Violating the Laws of : Faraday Laws of Electrolysis Key Concepts * First Law The quantity of a substance produced by electrolysis is proprotional to the quantity of electricty used. * Second Law For a given quantity of electricity the quantity of substance produced is proportional to its weight.
Hydrogen generators come in all sizes and shapes and we at LaBellas Auto Repair have been investigating, reviewing and comparing the output of HHO fuel cells of various kinds. Weve found that some of the smaller fuel cells put out more hydrogen gas than some of the fuel cells that are 3 times larger than their smaller counterparts. Our investigation to date has cost over $6000.00 and weve found that some of the more hyped up larger hydrogen fuel cells are a waste of money. Especially ones that use vinegar ( 5% distilled vinegar like used on salads). The rat race for whos has the best HHO fuel cell still rages on with some of the most outrageous claims uncovered. The hydrogen fuel cell in this video used vinegar but hardly put out any HHO gas until we switched it to KOH potassium hydroxide. The smaller twin fuel cell we earlier demonstrated put out much more than this larger fuel cell at comparable amp draw. See this live video.

This is the 40 cell version on a garbage truck which had a number of mechanical issues including galloping when idling, smoky and very odorous exhaust, and fuel consumption at 0.9 GPH. Within 10 minutes of initial startup the engine leveled off at 700 RPM and did not fluctuate. Fuel consumption dropped to 0.6 GPH. Excessive vibration also ceased. We look forward to anticipation of the fuel consumption dropping to 0.4 GPH within 80 hours of operation.
