AquaFuel: An example of the emerging new energies and the new methods for their scientific study

摘要

In this paper we initiate studies of the emerging new forms of energy byusing as a representative example the new combustible gas called AquaFuel,discovered and patented by William H. Richardson, jr., whose rights are nowowned by Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. (TTL), of Largo, Florida. In essence,AquaFuel is a new energy converter capable of transforming Carbon and waterinto a new combustible gas via an electric discharge. We show that AquaFuel canbe produced easily, safely and rapidly in large amounts, and exhibits greatlyreduced emission pollutants as compared to fossil fuels of current use. Despiteits simplicity, the chemical and physical characteristics of AquaFuel arelargely unknown at this writing. We then review nine basic experimentalmeasurements which are necessary for a scientific appraisal of AquaFuel. Weoutline the limitations of quantum mechanics and chemistry for the treatment of{\it new} forms of energy, namely, energies which by definition should be {\itbeyond} said theories. We finally point out the availability of broadertheories specifically constructed for the study of new energies and point outavailable applications.
