Hi Ken Yes the patent is sparce on facts and figures. I've crudely tested the hot oil trick. I heated olive oil until it was smoking, then gingerly dripped a drop of water in there..very quick steam, but no blue flame. When I get a moment I will test with a thermometer and a different oil. If this effect works at all then I presume the exhaust will be the same as a diesel engine + excess steam @ oxygen (guess) . The advantage is that its a very simple method of burning water and crude vegi oil, add an efficiently designed sterling engine and bobs your uncle, cleanish green power...if it works. The SG The triac version of the Bedini device certainly charges batteries very efficiently, while spinning its wheel fast. I was seeing 90%ish charge transfer on a 6V input to 2 6V batteries (new and identical), while the wheel spun fast for a couple of days. In my wheel and circuit there were plenty of losses. In my opinion more people need to make and test this, especially those who could test its properties accurately. I think there needs to be more focus on the reduction or reversal of entropy, after all all life is sustained by energy moving from a low entropy state to a high one. No energy is used only its entropy is changed. There are some very striking cases of physical mechanisms which reverse the entropy of electromagnetic energy. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn3750 snip -- The researchers worked out that if a photonic crystal is designed in a certain way, incoming light can get trapped at the shock wave boundary, bouncing back and forth between the compressed part of the crystal and the uncompressed part, in a "hall of mirrors" effect. Because the shock wave is moving through the crystal, the light gets Doppler shifted each time it bounces off it. If the shock wave is travelling in the opposite direction to the light, the light¹s frequency will get higher with each bounce, while if it travelling in the same direction, the frequency drops. -- Bearden and Bedini clearly describe methods for reducing the entropy in lead acid bateries (among other things). So yes its all in the bateries in a way. Kind Regards Sean
