Ten Million Dollar Challenge

[lincolninked]

Nothing gets your attention like cold hard cash.

I have come across a challenge.  The winner gets a cold hard Ten Million Dollars (before taxes.)

The challenge?  Run a gas powered generator (examples below) on pure water and water alone for 100 straight hours.

Rules:

1: Any modification can be made to your generator.  Remove the carburetor, alter the carburetor.  Anything, except that it must run on its own with just pure water.  No outside hoses or controls.  No Gasoline!

2: The water must be pure with the exception of adding a small amount of something like KOH or NaOH to allow the water to carry current.   The exhaust must pass California exhaust emissions standards current today.

3: You can split the water into any form of hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis from the power of the generator.  You can use any volts/amps in either AC or DC current that is available from the generator.  If you store created hydrogen and oxygen to then reuse in the system, you must store gases in approved containers.  All fittings and hoses also need to be approved for the materials being handled.

4: You can use a common automotive battery as part of the system.  It is suggested you choose an electric start generator as this will gave a battery system already at your disposal.  You can increase the size of the battery system as long as the running generator puts off enough current to recharge the battery's in a normal manor.

5: You must preregister your intention to make such a device with an agreement to relinquish three copies of your working unit.  One unit goes to the National Press Club, one unit goes to the United States Patent Office with the patent holder name being listed as The Boys and Girls Clubs Of America as 51% share holder and yourself as being the remaining 49% share holder, and one unit goes to the monetary sponsor of the challenge which will remain forever nameless.

6: No funds will be advanced to you except the winning of the prize should you make such a device as described.  In the event two or more winning entries are submitted, they will share in the prize in the amounts to be awarded based upon simplicity of the systems and the efficiency of the units.  Your profits from your 49% of your interest in the project will be paid in regular instalments to your bank account.  Why give away 51% of your earnings of a billion dollar invention?  Good Karma and millions of deserving kids is why. 

7: In the event of any circumstance beyond our control, your control, be it Gods or lightning strikes, no mater what, the presenter and/or sponsor of this challenge is not liable for any direct or indirect consequence pertaining to this challenge.  You are totally on your own till such time as you present us with a working unit and we give you the cash prize.

 

This is not a joke, this is a serious offer for anyone to make a gasoline powered generator run on water. 

Contact me at lincolninked@yahoo.com if you wish to take on the task.  This offer will expire in 100 days without notice.

Right. Ten million in hush money should anyone succeed. Hmmm, let me think about that for just a minute... NO!

Our end game has always been total energy independence from fossil fuel and the energy lords that control it. The beneficiary shall be all of humanity. Our work has always been and shall forever remain in the public domain. Whether you have the means to make good on this offer or not, please go away.

My thoughts are the same! Could not have said it better myself. Do you not realize what we are doing in here?  Evidentially not???..

Well said guys

Go away?  No problem, this offer does go away.  Read the rules.   On the other hand, if you have something positive to post, please do.  That is what this site is all about.  Helping us get over OIL.

In round numbers, you have 90 days.

The problem as I see it is no person will take this challenge seriously.  Lets just say, for the sake of argument, the offer is not real.  What would you be out?  You would have a machine that operates outside OIL for the most part that gives free energy for taking the time to split a liquid water into two mingled gases.   This machine would be worth more than any one lump sum payment. 

The offer is a solid one.  The only thing that is needed is someone with his thoughts set into motion.  Are you that person?  I doubt the three VI's (the first word as a hint is Village) posting above are going to step up to the plate.  Easier to just criticize and make noise.
