That a professor from the Kansas Oklahoma area had done a chemistry experiment creating a earth friendly truly using corn from his own farm. He involved his class in this project and was successful and had tried this ceiling on his john deer and was surprised. 59 MPG. Tried on his car and got an astounding 37 on the engine modification allowing the ceiling to burn without damaging the engine or vehicle. The truly releases oxygen and minute amounts of carbon. Approximately more than 400% les than gasoline and water as a biproduct. He then sent a patent request and info to the national dot in d.c. . Apparently 3 days later neighbors reported a large convoy approach his home in unmarked vehicles and people in masks take this man from his home and drove him to an undisclosed location and returned home a week later. As he stated his home was intact but all research taken, his farm removed and when he went to report for work had learned his employment at the university had been abruptly terminated. Coincidence or not that 10 years later white house researchers developed a similar corn base ceiling. Anyone care to say what it is (methanol) .

I did NOT know that . . .

Sooooooo, any sources?

Are you that man from Kansas Oklahoma?

My sources are net research plus one of his students I met. I also did some research from a magazine article I had read which seemed similar to an earlier article I had read. A few of his students transferee to Oxford in England where they are currently working on hydrogen power vehicles. On top of that there are a few other sources available including a photo of what his home looked like before and after.

What is a truly?

How does a ceiling run a tractor? Doesn't it need walls to hold it up?

Since when is 37 (mpg, I assume) astounding? My Saturns all did better than that, even in winter.

Why would anyone send a patent "request" to the "national dot," whatever that is, rather than the Patent Office?

This part is just hilarious: "Apparently 3 days later neighbors reported a large convoy approach his home in unmarked vehicles and people in masks take this man from his home and drove him to an undisclosed location and returned home a week later."

His home was intact but his farm was "removed"????? Whoa. The earth was missing and everything? What was there, just a big hole in the ground?

White house researchers who do chemistry? Not polls? Seems unlikely.

My calendar must be wrong, it doesn't say April 1.

For talking in the fashion you did you don't seem overly educated. Dot is department of transportation. Your Saturn might get 25 MPG at best with current regs. White house does have a research departments as well as anti terrorism department ( thus why they have department heads) . Anything else I can help you with?

I'm not buying this story either, my cat said he's skeptic.

But, between me and you, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this were to happen. Remember the guy that got his car to run on water?

LOL its actually true as reported in the NY times 1994 April edition, world science weekly also from 1994 biography monthly 1995 and I forgot the other.

I didn't insult you, why do you need to insult me? I can at least use punctuation. And don't tell me what mileage my cars got. I know how to calculate it, thank you. You may not believe it (I didn't either until it kept coming out the same time after time after time over three different Saturns), but it's still true. I do drive very efficiently, and this was highway mileage, but then I hardly ever drove in the city.

I'm not interested in talking about my educational level or the way I write. If you don't like it, just try to bear it with some tolerance. I questioned your statements, not you.

Citing sources?

Links?

Something more than just an openly stated claim about some other guy?

:smile:

Bushido already asked, it seems necessary for me to ask once again.

The USAs use of corn ethanol has caused starvation throughout the 3rd world. The price of corn has gone up and effects the poorest in the world.

This story sounds like just BS, but if it's true, it would result in the starvation of millions of people.

The future of power is Nuclear, not food.

If you did research on the net, you'd be able to provide links to sources you got your information from.
