Tom,
Jim was right, I'm working on a machine that is intended to some degree to
integrate principles of making synthesis gas, so I have a vested interest in
his use of terminology used in marketing his product that, I
believe, contributes to a public misunderstanding. I've asked Jim nice many
times in the past to consider the differences that Doug, Bill Klein, Greg and
many other professionals on this list have explained to Jim and myself years
ago.
GF (and others) recognize that there is commercial value in marketing the
"syngas" claim in addition to the technical correctness issue.
Unfortunately with a mushrooming interest in energy issues, many un or
under-educated persons have now become part of our various governments and
making public policy. Continued use of wrong terminology, now even amongst
government officials making policy decisions, eventually affects enterprise
large and small.
I'm impressed by Jim and his crew's ability to appeal to a large audience of
interested, computer literate folks. I wish him success.
I don't want this to be harsh or attacking to Jim, but feel that continued
effort to make alternative energy progress will require even greater technical
distinctions, rather than blending terms together as "generic" terms. Please
help to clear up our "english" language version of Wiki defining these gases
and their respective machinery.
Have a good new years.
