Dear Crispin,

Hmmm, OK, I can see a HydroFan in this. I have an old chemistry book that
delves into this. Maybe I should give it a try.

Also, once the stove was warmed up we could heat the air (air expands when
heated) and do more work/fanning. -- Over unity, that is in reference to
the lifted water. Of course the same amount of O2 but more
turbulance/fanning. Or maybe the heating of the air would not help because
the air would end up being heated anyhow??
