I manage a water hauling tanker trucking company. I am requiring my drivers to keep a log book. the DOT regulations are so vague when it come to water hauling companies working for gas drilling companies. does anyone know if there are any loop holes in the regulations that may excempt the oil field from certain DOT requirements when it comes to log books
1999 Olds Bravada AWD. 4.3L HO. Replaced the water pump for a similar problem two years ago, thermostat last year, had a problem with coolant leaking/over heating last winter, all problems have been solved, except why my trucks nniiiicceee hot air that blows while I’m driving, goes away when I let off the pedal, then comes back on as I get back up to speed, and doesn’t blow hot at all when it’s parked and idling?
i need all the details on this product. my husband travels alot on his job. his car broke down and all he has is a truck that gets 12 miles to a gallon maybe less depending on what he has to haul for his jobs. we cant afford the new cars that dont use gas. and can anyone tell me how far you can travel with the water conversion kit? we live in the country and most of his jobs are based in chicago which is two to three hrs away. plus then the drive home. so getting this product might work if it is legit.
This combines the ideas of the compressed air-car, multi-stage steam engine efficiency and regenerative braking. Electric power companies use steam engines to generate electricity because it is much more efficient. The efficiency of internal combustion engines has a mechanical efficiency of about 20%. Using a small steam engine, is more efficient, cleaner and simpler than an internal combustion engine however nobody wants to wait for the steam to heat up. Two 43 liter tanks of compressed-air would provide 15-20 miles while the boiler heats up. This solves the drawbacks of straight steam power. When the steam pressure becomes adequate the engine would automatically switch from air to steam pressure. During braking the engine would work backwards as a compressor forcing air back into the air cylinder tanks. The water in the boiler would keep from freezing by automatically heating the water with the fuel when the temperature was too low. SUV Results: 73.8 MPG @ 15 gal. water.
So far, this engine design appears to be a viable improvement. You should watch the Mythbusters episode “Air Cylinder of Death.” This episode proved that a scuba tank doesn’t explode so much as they take off like a rocket. Gas cylinders just have to be installed correctly. Boilers are also safe since the tubes are enclosed in an unsealed housing, a burst tube would simply let steam go out the exhaust. No chance of explosion.
I have heard about a water for fuel for diesel engines. It supposedly takes the hydrogen out of the water and burns it. My dad was telling me that it is about two hundred dollars and so new that mechanics probably dont even know about it yet. I was just wondering if anybody had any facts about this… or even heard of it. And if you know about it, then share all you know… PLEASE!
