Hi Tom,I'll understand if you do not reply to this as it sounds fairly ridiculous to me already.  I am fascinated with the GEK concept and was wondering how the entire apparatus could be reduced in size and at the same time increased in productivity and efficiency.  I was thinking about an alternate fuel cell, something which was small and would produce a tremendous amount of energy such as frozen liquid hydrogen - then I thought when I eat certain sugarfree pastries and wait for about two hours, my body converts them to a seemingly endless supply of methane.  What about a bio-reactor with the identical enzymes as a human system and the maltitol or whatever is in the "sugarfree" morsels?  Have a "digester" (going over bumps doesn't affect it), and collect it to run the car.  I guess the alternative would be for me to produce the gas but then it might be unsafe trying to drive at the same time.  Now you know why it sounds ridiculous.  Thanks for everything and have a good life in New England.Bob Hamilton> From: tmiles at trmiles.com> To: tombreed at comcast.net; lindgardgasta at yahoo.com; gasification at listserv.repp.org; jimmason at whatiamupto.com> Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 09:19:00 -0800> Subject: Re: [Gasification] video of Honda Accord with GEK driving now posted> > Dear Tom,> > > > I share your enthusiasm about Jim's project but I disagree with your> statement below. > > > > There has been discussion about the "Science of Gasification" on the list.> The technical content - the discussion of science - of the list has put some> people in business and kept others out of financial trouble.
