Breakthrough energy technologies... Sitting right here, on my desk.

**Xanifur** · 12-19-2007 01:34 AM

Hey guys. My Father and I have been working on this for over a year, and my Dad has been developing the technology for over 3 decades.

Custom Craft Technologies

My Dad was laughed at over 18 years ago when he patented it for the first time. Now, with the energy crisis, he isn't seen as so crazy after all. The Gov't has encouraged us to go into the public marketplace, as they have no means or programs to develop new technologies such as this -- That is what we are doing.

I just put up the website for him a few hours ago... (pardon the spelling errors, I have to fix those)

We are looking for investors, preferably ones with $50,000 - $3,000,000+ He is confident the methods of energy production he has created will ultimately shift our national, even global energy consumption. Check it out.

Do you have actual scientific data backing up why using hydraulic equipment would be better suited for whatever it is you are making (which is not clear at all from your website)?
Hydraulic equipment in general is not very efficient

They are the most powerful machines in the world. Using a small amount of gasoline or diesel, you can lift, move, transport and distribute huge (HUGE) amounts of forces. We can take that, and turn it into efficiency, rather than dumping rocks or digging a whole in the ground. We have multiple machines -- engines and reactors than can take the way hydraulics work, and turn it into efficient means of energy. Very very efficient means of production.

These can run on hydrogen, ethanol, gasoline, or diesel
0 carbon (in most, almost all cases)
Massive output

Ideal for motor vehicles -- but is expanding to multiple realms and uses. The Govt has one program developing a hydraulic engine for transport vehicles as well -- so it obviously is a somewhat known, and proven theory if they are developing a similar technology.

Of course, all of my fathers concepts are not proven, and some are theoretical but are backed by over 30 years of research and design -- which have not been formally researched my a team of scientists. All technology starts as theory.

What you are saying makes absolutely no engineering sense.
Hydraulic power is not very efficient. Efficiency is determined by the output power over the input power, equating the power loss in the system.
The reason hydraulic systems are used for large machinery and equipment is because you can route the hydraulic force using small pipes or tubes, not because it is efficient. You still need a motor to pump the hydraulic fluid.

Yes, hydraulics can exert a large force, but it takes a lot of energy to be created. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, so what goes in must be greater than or equal to what comes out (since energy is lost in the process).

I see what you're saying, and I'm no engineer by any means, So I really have no way to respond -- All I can say is, it's another step to solve our energy needs.

Here is what the EPA is up to:
Recent Developments with Urban Delivery Vehicles | Modeling, Testing, and Research | US EPA

On June 21, 2006, EPA unveiled the world's first hydraulic hybrid delivery truck in Washington D.C. The EPA hybrid features a hydraulic drivetrain that replaces a conventional drivetrain and eliminates the need for a conventional transmission. By achieving 70 percent better fuel efficiency in urban driving and 40 percent lower CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, this vehicle demonstrates the highest-efficiency powertrain known.

My only point in telling you is that I am an engineer and I don't understand what your website is saying. And if you are seeking investors, they aren't going to understand either. So you may want to change the website to provide more information and clarification on what exactly it is you are offering.

Thanks. We pretty much have everything that is required by the competition completed. Thanks for that, we are really thinking of entering. I'll let you know how it goes
