That sounds like a good thing to get behind alright, Majic. I would like to see it reach its full potential. If some fat cat politicians can find a way to use it to line their pockets it will come about.

The sad thing, the one that's going to make it a problem, is that it's so simple. Too simple. Gov't likes hoops and procedures and and 18 page manual on how to make a chocolate chip chookie. Like I said in another post - I am trying to get help to market a something that can get any I.C.E get 20% - 50% better MPG, HP, and reduce emmisions by those same numbers. Oh yeah, it'll keep your motor cool like nobody's business, too. The problem is that it goes against what everyone "knows" about the way I.C.E.'s work and is accepted as mechanical gospell. It reminds me how you can define what a fruit is, and show exactly how a tomato is a fruit, then ask someone it was just explained to what a tomato is and they'll still insist that it's a vegetable.
Do you have a patent yet or is that why you call it a "something"..??
Get that patent man..
It makes alota diff when you want to present it for market or investors..
First you get a Provisional Patent so you have exactly one year of protection while you market and also save up for the Non-Provisional Patent..
Once you get that you're home free..
I am also getting a patent for a sickle tool I invented..
Good luck bud..

NO. The patent is owned by someone else, but I am trying to get him to license it to me. He likes my enthusiasm and ideas, but I haveto jump through some hoops he has first, and that's where I get stuck. He's had a lot of people ask tolicense it but they don't want to meet his criteria first, they just want to bang this stuff out and sell it like something run through the FDA in a hurry. I want to do what he requires, get his blessing and get this thing marketed. To some it would be a simple thing for his first hopp, but I can only wrench so much on a bike before I'm in danger of being over my head, and I have serious lack of friend with the skills, too. Plus, and more important, things are really tough for me right now as my hours got cut, the wife got laid off, and the baby needs a new pair of shoes. Ok, she needs formula more than shoes, but you get the idea.
If anyone has some heads for a '01 883XLC they want to volunteer it would be much appreaciated. That's make it half a hoop down, about six-and-a-half more to go.
frisco, your preaching to the choir here! I spent the last 10 years in the oil/gas industries. If the Dems had their way millions of people including myself would be unemployed. I say drill baby drill.
I became unemployed as a driller in the shutdown of '81-'82 when the Governors of NY and NJ declared the Continental Shelf off Atlantic City off limits to ALL drilling. We were sent to school for USGS certification in sub-sea well control (blow out prevention) and were all set to go untill the DemocRATS pulled the rug out from under the industry. There is more oil and gas off the East coast than in the Gulf of Mexico or so we were told then and it's much easier to produce than in ANWAR. They did the same thing to stop off shore wind generators from going up. That's where Ted Kennedy sails his yatch so we can't have that either. Wake Up America, throw the bums out and elect loyal patriotic non-politicians to office. Untill we do that not much will change.
Back to the ethanol subject. I try to avoid the gas containing the stuff. My propane man who also handles gasoline told me that all the gas in our state is gasohol now by order of the Governor.
(my propane fill up cost me $730, ouch)

Since most gas punps indicate 10% ethanol why are octane ratings staying the same ? I lived through converting bikes to unleaded and mixing octane booster, alcohol and aviation gas to keep my Olds W30 running. I have some understanding of octane and detonation. Since octane ratings for alcohol are higher than pump gas why are we still at 92 ?

Hi Wrightturn
Just today I was looking into that. And,I think that if you refer to Wikipeda Encyclopedia...under octane/octane-ratings/effects of octane ratings...you'll find just about anything you want to know about it...incld' the ethanol stuff
I hope this helps
