Too good to let go by

[William A Williams]

	 The scrubber is an idea that requires too much energy to
implement so it wouldn't wash. Engines that burn a mixture of hydrogen
and oxygen have been successfully tested. You have to inject four pounds
of water for every pound of combustion product to keep it from burning up
your turbine. 360 HP out of a 20" on a side cub was the resulting
package. Emissions were of course pure water. However the idea of
injecting fuel during the power stroke to achieve a constant pressure
combustion was tried around the turn of the century with some success by
Dr. Rudolph Diesel. The results of his efforts can be seen around us
today. If he had just been successful in burning powdered coal then there
would never have been a fuel crisis past or future.
