Hamdi probably knows that ozone could be as valuable as gasoline on a weight basis, since it is a potential way to save fuel in an automobile, or to clean up coal emissions from power plants. If only it could be stored.
However, an ozone generator on the intake manifold of a diesel engine will increase efficiency by introducing a more powerful oxidizer than O2. Ozone has a fairly long half-life but it is less than an hour. Considering its high reactivity it must be made and used in situ. Not so for O6 if you believe in "black projects". The mention of ozone reminded me of Richard and the "Dime Box". More on that later. Anyway - It can be shown on paper that every unit of mass of ozone will reduce fuel consumption by an equal mass or more, but the same reactivity also allows more NOx to form, and harms valves. There are several hundred patents for this basic concept, including one by a local CA inventor - Jimmy Lee - of Sharper Image fame. His ionizer allowed a VW diesel pickup to achieve 130 MPG (but ruined the engine in months). This was fully authenticated at a time when oil was more reasonably priced. Ozone cannot be used in high concentrations with manifold fuel injectors or carburetors due to premature combustion. It is only interesting on a diesel, because the fuel is intended to be reacted as soon as injected. Valves would need to be coated. It is a bit surprising that an ionizer invention is not in use somewhere, especially in Europe - since many of the patents have expired. Richard Macaulay who posted to vortex for years - owned Texas company that was supplier of ozone water purification equipment. He would be 93 now. RIP. Richard was certain that there was an oxygen O6 molecular isomer with a moderately long half life that could be liquefied and stored. Problem is - few believed him, because there is little or no literature to support it. There was one R&D paper which came from a grant by the Air Force on high altitude production and storage of O6. We could never get hold of it through FOI but Richard had seen it before. It was marked as top secret and you can imagine why. If O6 could be produced and stored at high altitude - where ozone is essentially free due to solar ionization, then it would be an ideal way to keep a plane aloft for months. Once every hour or two the aircraft would need to go up to the stratosphere and "refuel." O6 is a monopropellant. In effect O6 is two O3 ions held together somehow despite the extra charge to become more stable than ozone and easier to liquefy - but would be risky, depending on the actual half-life. That instability may have killed it as an alternative fuel . or else. do you ever wonder why drones seem to have a disproportionately long range? With a drone, you can risk losing a few aircraft, if the O6 should destabilize :-) Apparently from reports coming from the mid-East, we do not even keep track of the ones which go down, indicating that the loss rate must be high. Wonder if O6 is partly responsible? Do I catch a glimmer of the Cheshire cat smile of Fred and Richard . out there in cyber-space or is it ozone poisoning ? From: Hamdi Ucar Hello John, The circuit is basically an single transistor oscillator based on TIP-3055 where Collector-Vcc and Emitter-Gnd is connected through two air coils wound on a single 2 cm diameter empty fax roll, each 79 or 179 turns (I should find my notes) one CW other CCW, they meet at the center without a gap (this point called junction). It is based on Ronald R. Stiffler circuit called BiPeg. The base is connected to emitter trough a coupled coil. The circuit oscillate in random manner, hardly to see any periodic oscillations, bursts are also present. The chaotic behavior is caused I think due to base-collector voltage goes beyond specs and cause intermediate failures. It was very difficult to tune the circuit for the proper regime, also, even tuned, circuit can oscillate in multiple modes. The voltage difference at junction can be high as 90V. The O3 comes from point where two coils meets. No arc or hiss sound was present. Important thing is the O3 is only produced in a period of a month in summer where temperature was 30-35 degrees and more than 90% humidity. The O3 emission ceased when climate become normal. I later figured out that the O3 was not produced from O2 of the air but from H2O of the humidity. The reason of this was the experiments of John Kanzius showing salt water 'burned'. Ozone smell was very strong, and did not have a 'bitter' flavor which caused by cheap HV ozone generators (may Nitrogen compounds are also produced).

Can you give some more detail on that one please? Thanks, John On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 4:22 PM, Hamdi Ucar <[email protected]> wrote: Hello everybody remembering me,
