This information is contained in the latest Nexus magazine. There is a book
on offer with this article that claims to provide more technical
information. Perhaps the single most bizaar aspect to this 'fuel energy
cell' is the claim that the outlet pipe from the cell does not supply
anything material to the motor! As would be expected with any electrolysis
system, the gases produced would be supplied to the combustion chamber.
This, apparently, is not the case with the 'Joe X' cell. This cell works
without ongoing battery connection and the output pipe from the cell is
normally connected to a blank fitting on the carburettor, so it's claimed.
Joe X claims he does not know how it works and that he has converted over a
dozen auto's to run with this system. He claims, or rather the author
claims he claims, that he has driven a converted car over 500 miles with
the motor running cold for the duration. The article goes on to present a
number of refinements to the cell design.
All very weird. The author suggests that some form of exotic energy is
being delivered to the motor - perhaps zero point energy. The 40 page book
"The Joe Phenomenon: How to Run Your Car on Zero Point Energy" is $39
Australian. Will try to obtain more information on this material and let
you know.
Spooky stuff in a cheesy sort of way.
Regards, Bill.
