    Wow this could get really long winded. The short version is that in splitting the methane molecule by forcing it through a plenum plate it gives up electrons to the plenum and it produces an electric charge. The split molecule then dissipates as its base elements and some molecules like H2O.

    Wow! They talked to a dairy-farmer who had received the setup from the Gov as a pilot project.
    He did say there was NO WAY he could have afforded it otherwise.

    That is the way that I see most of this stuff like geothermal, solar, ethanol etc. It uneconomical without subsidies.

    I keep getting letters from the power company telling me that I "could save $350 a year if I spent $20,000 to $25,000 updating my house.......

    PS. Just found some older metalworking book to add to the fun!

    PPS. All the tools organized and the machines spotless when I got there. He had been utubing for a couple of weeks and had intelligent questions. Two hours of good stuff! I am totally happy he gets the stuff!
    Does the heart good to see the tools we love passed on to someone with commensurate passion and appreciation for them huh Richard?
    I only wish I lived closer to learn from you hands on myself sir. Have appreciated your input over the last three years and continue to.

    Your friend better know how fortunate he is.
    Good story.

    Thanks.

    Lol, I have seen the changes in my field of work, years ago simple tasks done quickly, in today government involved safety standards turns simple things into a complicated nightmare. All from some nit wit that has never did the job at hand but makes regulation on how to proceed.
