Alternative, Renewable Fuels and Vehicles Majority of the Earth's population have been suffering enough from the fluctuating high cost of gasoline, diesel and other fossil-based fuels. Worst of all in this inter-related scenario, around "3 million people are killed worldwide by outdoor air pollutions annually from vehicles and industrial emissions," according to the World Health Organization. Most of the motorized vehicles in land, sea and air transportation are the top contributors to the increasing smog, environmental pollutions and climate changes worldwide. Air pollution is present in hundreds of the cities and towns around the world! Enough is enough! The imported fuel from the OPEC and other oil cartels must be replaced with the alternative, renewable, cleaner, cheaper fuels, and other sources of energies. We have the existing technology which the oil producers, marketers, fuel dealers, their stockholders and their loyal supporters, including their lobbyists to some politicians and other government officials, and selected media do not want us to know. "Rotapower" is the world's most advanced and cleanest rotary engine for hybrid electric cars, boats and other motorized vehicles including small aircrafts! The rotary engines will soon be in full production. The engine has been proven to perform using multi-fuels either gasoline, alcohol, natural gas, or propane. Another existing clean technology is available in Australia! Solar Sailor, for example, is a technology company which manufactures ships with hybrid solar-wind-battery and diesel driven back-up generators to propel the ships. The company makes ships for commercial, recreational and governmental services. Solar Sailor "technologies are Hybrid Marine Power (HMP), an integrated hybrid electric technology and Solarsails which harness renewable solar and wind energy." In its official website, it says "our technologies are suitable for a range of applications from small unmanned vessels to large tankers, including ferries, tourist cruisers and private yachts. The results are vessels offering redundancy of power, fuel efficiency, exceptional passenger comfort, low environmental footprint and zero emissions at the wharf." When the sun is not shinning due to the cloudy skies, bad weather or when it is night time and its rechargeable battery is getting low on electricity, Solar Sailor has a backup diesel-driven generator to propel the boat or ship to its destination. In addition, the Philippines is the world's second largest producer of geothermal generated electricity. The Leyte Geothermal Power Plant in Tongonan, near Ormoc City, supplies the electricity needs of the entire Leyte island as well as Biliran, Samar, Panaon, and parts of Bohol and Cebu islands. There is no need to depend completely on all gasoline and/or diesel fuels. The hybrid electric cars, trucks and buses are now available in the markets. The electric jeepneys are now running in Makati and other cities in Metro Manila. Thousands can afford to purchase the electic motorcycles, scooters, bicycles and bike kits and install them in existing bicycles or buy the new bicycles from SM Mega Mall, Ayala Shopping Mall, Gaisano Mall and other stores in Cebu City, for example. About 200 years ago, Swiss engineer Francois Isaac de Rivaz invented an internal combustion engine that used a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen as fuel. The first electric cars were invented some 25 years later. Daimler invented the modern gas engine in 1885 while Benz invented the gas-fueled car in 1886. In the beginning of the 20th Century, the electric cars were more popular than gasoline-powered vehicles, for the same reason that the car and truck buyers are taking a second look at the electric vehicles today. Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913) invented the first diesel engine to run on peanut oil which he demonstrated at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. However, Diesel died in 1913 before his vision of the engine powered with vegetable oil was fully realized. "Diesel believed the utilization of a biomass fuel to be the real future of his engine. He wanted to provide farmers the opportunity to produce their own fuel." In 1911, he said "The diesel engine can be fed with vegetable oils and would help considerably in the development of agriculture of the countries which use it." "Ethanol has been used as a motor fuel in North America since the early 1900s." Henry Ford designed the Model-T to run on ethanol, made from corn and other renewable biological matters. "However, gasoline emerged as the dominant transportation fuel in the early twentieth century because of the ease of operation of gasoline engines with the materials then available for engine construction, a growing supply of cheaper petroleum from oil field discoveries, and intense lobbying by petroleum companies for the federal government to maintain steep alcohol taxes."
For over 30 years, Filipino inventor Daniel Dingel had demonstrated his Toyota car which ran on water as fuel. Dingle built a car reactor which used electricity from a 12-volt car battery to split the ordinary tap water into hydrogen and oxygen components, and used the hydrogen to power his car. "Dingel said that a number of foreign car companies have expressed interest in his invention. The officials of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) have dismissed Dingel's water-powered car as a hoax. In return, Dingel accused them of conspiring with oil producing countries. Dingel, however, was not the only man on earth who was testing water as an alternative fuel. American inventors Rudolf Gunnerman and Stanley Meyer and the researchers of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory [were] pursuing similar experiments. Stanley Meyer was one of the inventors of the water-powered car. He received patents for his invention and was offered over 1 billion U.S. dollars from the Arabs. He received requests from the U.S. Government to shelf his invention and keep quiet. Nevertheless, Meyer continued with his project and completed a test vehicle using his patented HHO cracking device. However, he died from an illness while eating at a restaurant. Some said that Meyer was poisoned by the .... A Japanese company Genepax Co. Ltd. recently revealed an epoch-making technology, "Water Energy System (WES)," which is capable of generating electric power from water. It generates electric power with no aid of any external energy and without any emission of green house gas, e.g., carbon dioxide and methane. Genepax will go into mass production with an auto company in the next several months. The Japanese H20-powered cars and other vehicles in the future could cause again the filing of bankruptcy to the American vehicle manufacturers that are delaying the full utilization of the alternative and renewable fuels! "One of the most striking characteristics of the 20th century was the emergence of the automobile for personal transportation. There are today in the world 700 million of these vehicles in circulation, the great majority of them with Otto cycle engines running on gasoline. Automobiles are today an integral part of our way of living. They shaped the whole transportation system of mankind and represent a very significant fraction of the GDP of many countries. As developing countries grow and develop, the number of automobiles in the world will grow. The number of such vehicles per capita is approaching 1 in industrialized countries but is much smaller in today's developing countries and thus likely to grow significantly. "In China there are only 20 automobiles per 1000 people compared to 700 per 1000 people in the United States. The gasoline necessary to feed these automobiles is roughly 20 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, one quarter of the world petroleum consumption from which it is produced and, unfortunately, petroleum is found in relatively few regions of the world. Exports and imports of this commodity are a most important item in international trade and many countries are critically dependent on petroleum imports. This is the case for the United States, as well as many developing countries...." In South America, Brazil was in the same situation as the United States and the developing countries including the Philippines.
"When it comes to ethanol and flexible-fuel vehicles, Brazil is way ahead of the U.S., and indeed the rest of the world. As the fuel crises of the 1970s hit Brazil, the government reacted with Proálcool produced from sugar cane, a major product of Brazil, to reduce dependence on imported oil. In the early 1970s, up to 25 percent alcohol was blended with gasoline. Brazil responded to the second crisis with vehicles that could run on 100 percent alcohol. By 1984, over 90 percent of Brazilian cars and light trucks ran on alcohol, in part because the fuel was available everywhere in Brazil and also because subsidies and incentives made ethanol substantially cheaper than gasoline. However, when oil prices dropped in the mid-1980s and new offshore oil fields were discovered, gasoline became cheaper than the still-subsidized alcohol fuels. This was further compounded by a drought and a poor sugar harvest that disrupted the supply of alcohol. The result? Alcohol capable cars represented less than one percent of new vehicles in 1997. "Brazil learned a lesson from these ups and downs and has since turned to flexible-fuel vehicles that can run on any fuel from pure gasoline to pure alcohol. In reality, all Brazilian gasoline is blended with at least 24 to 25 percent ethanol. Almost all fueling stations in Brazil - 29,000 out of 31,000 - also offer 100 percent ethanol for older alcohol-only vehicles still on the road. Brazil currently has between 3 and 4 million ethanol fueled vehicles. Alcohol costs on average about half that of gasoline, plus motorists receive a tax credit on alcohol cars because of cleaner tailpipe emissions. The bottom line is that Brazil is almost immune to the instabilities, and price fluctuations, in gasoline supplies. Today, Brazilian motorists can fill their tanks with any blend of gasoline or ethanol they choose, depending on which is cheaper, or more convenient." In addition to Brazil's flexible-fueled cars and trucks, they have vehicles which can run either on alcohol, gasoline or CNG. They are primarily taxi fleets with their own CNG facilities, although CNG is available at some public fueling stations. Besides considerable savings from using CNG, the Brazilians also help reduce the pollution in their cities. Natural gas is renewable and less expensive than gasoline, diesel, biodiesel and ethanol. "Found in reservoirs deep below the earth's surface and ocean floors, natural gas is formed by the decay of organic matter. Natural gas reserves come from large quantities of plant and animal remains that have accumulated between layers of sediment on the bottoms of lakes and oceans over millions of years. The pressure from the layers of sediment and the heat from the earth's core convert the organic materials into natural gas, petroleum and coal. All oil deposits contain natural gas, although natural gas is often found without oil. Natural gas has two varieties, namely, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The preferred fueling method for light to medium Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV), CNG stations dispense between five and ten gallons per minute. Heavy-duty NGVs with weight and range requirements typically fuel up on LNG, which allows them to store more fuel on board with less tank weight. L/CNG stations can service both types of NGVs by converting LNG into CNG." While increasing numbers of environmentally-conscious consumers are buying NGVs, the largest market for NGVs are the fleet owners and operators that want to reduce fuel costs and the pollutions. In fact, 40% of the buses on order use the natural gas. There are hundreds of hybrid natural gas and electric buses in cities such as Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, and many other American cities. Today, there are hundreds of natural gas-powered taxi fleets, courier and delivery fleets, government and police fleets, community fleets, trades and commercial fleets, etc. We have the decades of existing technology to compete with the high prices of gasoline, diesel and other fuels. It is now a Philippine law - Philippine Biofuels Act of 2006 - that the fuel refiners and producers must gradually increase the percentage of their fuel productions to the alternative, renewable, and cleaner fuels. We have our country's top expert and U.N. consultant on biodiesel development and production, Dr. Rico O. Cruz. Based in the U.S.A., Dr. Cruz and the EcoEnergy International consulted with the goverment officials, companies, institutions and groups in Australia, Azerbaijan, Belize, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Cuba, Germany, Ghana, India, Paraguay, Philippines, Russia, Turkey, Uganda, United States, Vietnam ... in the development and production of biodiesel fuels. With the cooperation of the "people's power" from the Overseas Filipino Workers and the Filipinos that are citizens and residents in foreign countries, we could make our goal sooner than expected. The Overseas Filipino Workers and former Filipino citizens living in other countries are remitting several billions in European Unions' euros and U.S. dollars to their families and loved ones here in the Philippines. Their remittances are the "secrets" to our growing economy! We have the real "people's power" to counter-attack against the oil cartels, refiners, gas dealers and their stockholders that are making us slaves for the past decades to over a century as a result of the price manipulations of their gasoline, diesel and other fossil-based fuels! Therefore, we would like to invite the Overseas Filipino Workers and Filipino citizens and residents in foreign countries to invest and cooperate with us, the "bayanihan" spirit, in the alternative and renewable fuels' production including the necessary passenger hovercraft transportation. The Biofuels Law or R.A. 9367 is investor-friendly. "It provides tax incentives and financial assistance to encourage investments in biofuels. The tax incentives include a 0% specific tax on local or imported biofuel component per liter of fuel. Another is the exemption of the sale of raw material used in the production of biofuels from the Value Added Tax.... On the one hand, RA 9367 mandates that the Development Bank of the Philippines, Land Bank of the Philippines, Quedancor and other government financial institutions extend financing to those engaged in the production, storage, handling and transport of biofuel and biofuel feedstock, and the blending of biofuels with petroleum." If we want to be really free from the imported oil's 100-year slavery, there is always a way. We have our country's #1 expert and U.N. consultant on biodiesel fuel. We have the inventor of 30-year plus old water-powered car. Our 7107-island country is surrounded with waters. We can in the future tap the unlimited tidal power and the undersea current. For example: Under the Liloan bridge in Southern Leyte, between Limasawa Island and Tangka-an Point in Padre Burgos, and in San Juanico Strait between Leyte and Samar islands to generate electricity for the entire Visayas and Mindanao regions! We have the existing geothermal electric plants in Central Visayas and Southern Luzon as well as the wind-driven electric generators in Northern Luzon. We have the tropical sunlight to charge the solar cells and the unlimited deuterium ... courtesy of our Heavenly Father and Savior - Christ or Yahshua! The oil establishments and their greedy stockholders, and others that are making a wealthy but polluted living out of the imported oil (for example, Enron in which some of its top executives were indicted) cannot prevent some factions in our endangered society from publishing and telling the truth. Some preachers and writers have been teaching for several decades that the coming Battle of Armageddon or World War III is about the Middle East's oil. According to the Bible Code the coming Battle of Armageddon will also involve the 3 major monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. As the so-called Christian nation in Asia, the Philippines and other "Christian" nations, the non-Christian members of the United Nations, and the "New World Order" will get involved inevitably in the Battle of Armageddon in Israel. Perhaps the biological, chemical, nuclear and star war weapons of mass destruction would be used! The combustion of the imported fossil-based fuels in millions of the vehicles with obsolete engine technologies around the world is the main cause of the smog, environmental pollutions and climate changes. The sooner we all switch to the alternative, renewable and cleaner fuels as well as the alternative engines or motors, the more chances we have of preventing the biggest war in the Middle East. If or when we delay using the alternative, renewable and cleaner fuels as well as the alternative-powered motors, the global smog, pollutions and the Battle of Armageddon will be inflicting heavy collateral damage to over 6 billion living souls, including you and I, in our endangered Earth!
