Companions,

Yes, I'm a Venezuelan male.

Ok, I miss this, for local shipping the reduction will be 2X to 3X. But for air shipping the reduction will be 10X, a Quenco powered plane will save near to 13.000 $ per fly of 1600 miles (3400 galons x 3.8$), This is a great saving, without consider that any electric car or plane is much lighter, less prone to failure, and easier to maintain because it is simpler (this is also a big saving). For local shipping the reduction will be 2X to 3X. Also USA is not the whole world, in the rest of the world the shipping cost is more higher for local transportation.

Yes, we allready discuss the problem of get heat to quenco, but dont worry, there is a lot of heat in the air for keep a big truck at 120 km/h.

@trim12
If you decide to make synthetic gasoline at low cost with Quenco to keep your car with internal combustion engine, you still have maintenance costs which are not few, oil changes, radiator, pumps, compressors, belts, go to fill in gas stations, etc.    So many problems, best you put an electric kit with Quenco, save weight and problems. They are $ 10,000 per Quenco 50KVA, + $ 4.000 electric motor , + $ 4.000 labor ~= $ 20,000 total, and do not pay more in gasoline, or maintenance, just the brakes.

@Phil
Excellent news ! keep the hard work.

Great drawing, excellent !

@hollaste

The problem of our society, and the source of our crisis is egoism, we just think about ourselves and do not take into account at all to others.

If you want to contribute to this forum, you are welcome, but in a constructive dialogue, respecting other points of view.

We know that the problem of the board, is not have a summary of all the points we made, so we understand that you unknow certain discussions and have doubt, but this group has been through your doubts and made discussions and calculations. Even some like myself have more than three years following the work of Philip Hardcastle.

Philip is an inventor that without seeking any reward,  very kindly shared their ideas, designs and even part of his life.  At no time has asked for money, and has proven to be very serious in its approach and its engineering is very solid.  He has spent time answering our questions and comments.

Neither Philip nor any of us are perfect, and we can have errors, but only in an atmosphere of cordiality and mutual respect we can interact.

We thank you and all the new ones that keep the atmosphere of cordiality and respect that we all deserve. And if you have doubts, with humility, we will gladly answer them.

It sounds highly unlikely to me.  Have you done the research and the calculations?  If not, why don't you try doing them?  It would be a very useful exercise because a mistake people often make is that they take things for granted.

I will just make some preliminary comments for you.  I will guess that an all-electric 18-wheeler truck at 120 km/h needs about 25 kilowatts of continuous electrical power to maintain that speed and run the lights and power other things, etc.   Going up a hill it might require 75 kilowatts but let's not worry about that for starters.

So, what is the heat capacity of air at a typical humidity of say 40%.   If you say you will cool the air by 15 degrees Celcius to extract the heat from the air, what airflow do you need to sustain in cubic meters per second to extract 25 kilowatts of heat?

Imagine the truck has an air inlet of 2 meters x 2 meters, i.e.; 4 square meters.  How fast in meters per second does air have to flow into the 4-square-meter air inlet to extract 25 kilowatts of heat assuming that the air exits 15 degrees Celcius cooler?

My gut feel right now is telling me that it won't work, but I could be wrong.  If anybody is interested in doing the Internet searches and gathering up all of the data and crunching the numbers then more power to you.

Dear all,

I am usually a polite person and I have only expressed my honest criticism on some well known facts (on which, by the way, I have a very long professional experience). What do you think about Hardcastle reply?

"Hollander, I do not mind a challenge to anything I say but you need to crawl back under the rock you just came out of.
... If you want to know that famous scientists name go and educate yourself.
...
I will not respond to any other post from this Hollander jerk, he is here just to be nasty."

Do you think this is a polite reply? My post was a technical one. His post has been an humoral and unfriendly one.

Issue closed.

A practical example would be a benefit for all believers.

Quote from the article:
It will be important to note that the ammeter used in the circuit should
be able to indicate both the positive and the negative current polarity
of the diodes under test.


But if I look at the I(U) diagram , I never see current negative, there is a negative slope ok!
Now must the 'read between the lines mode be switched on':
...When the temprature is high enough a negative current will occur
   and heat will be converted to electricity ?!
...And then it makes sense when he states:
Also, the whole operation needs to be performed at an ambient temperature
that’s below 8 degrees Celsius ambient temperature.
(Sorting the T-diodes out that show an oscillation at 94 MHz)


Which leaves the question: is there a minimum ambient temprature required
for operation in heat to electricity mode.
Mr. Hardcastle : is this setup mentioned in the link valid and will show
the function principle of your inverntion?
