With reference to Fred's latest musings.
Many moons ago I posted the following to the Y! Viktor Schauberger group. I got zero replies :-( If anyone is interested in the process described by VS, I could attempt to summarise. Rgds, Patrick ---quote--- When I first read Coats' "The Energy Evolution", I skimmed through the last section of chapter 8 - Petrol (Gasoline) From Water as it seemed a little far fetched (to say the least). Since then, I've learnt that CO2 can be electrocatalytically reduced to yield methyl alcohol. Now, methanol is obviously a useful fuel... The process VS described is sufficiently similar to that stated in some patents that I have recently read (US 5,559,638 & US 5,928,806) to make me think again, although these modern patents rely on electrical current to catalyse the reaction. My question to the group is whether anyone has attempted a direct replication of VS's procedure (as described by Coats) to create a combustible substance from water? ---ends---
