INTRODUCTION
(top)
This is the
first Eagle-Research Newsletter. The
newsletter is intended to allow me to mass
communicate with all interested in the
technologies being developed by
Eagle-Research AND to allow you to
communicate with me. This way I get to be
efficient in answering common questions; I
hope you will use and enjoy this newsletter.
Please DO tell me about any mistakes or
things you think I could do better with this
newsletter.
My name is
George Wiseman; I am a self-employed inventor
since 1984. What does that mean? Everything
and Nothing, depending on your point of view.
An inventor is a poorly defined occupation
with no standards to compare one to another.
A lot of you on this news list are inventors
or know inventors. Some inventors can do a
lot, some are specialists; some make money,
most don't.
In my case I
am a Jack-of-all-trades because whenever I've
needed something done, I've preferred to
learn how to do it myself rather than hire it
done. This usually takes more time and often
costs more than hiring an expert, but in the
long run this method has served me
exceptionally well. There are many people
that are better than I at any particular
aspect of my business, but very few that
could operate an inventing business as I do
and in the area of my particular inventions,
I make the world's best. I can conceive an
idea that is marketable, work through all the
research and development and then market it.
But no one person can think of everything or
be best at everything so I structured my
business in a different way than other
inventors.
I do not
patent my ideas. I sell books (sometimes
devices). I help others build projects that I
have already done. In the process of actual
implementation, a lot of people freely send
me their thoughts, many of which can be
included to make the projects better. I
update the literature and EVERYONE benefits.
Each person puts in their thoughts and
benefits from the input of thousands of
others. I sort information and do research to
find the best combination of ideas (mine and
others). When I use a person's idea, I give
them full credit unless they tell me they
don't want the publicity.
My point
here is to invite you to contribute
information to this newsletter in any way you
wish. Your contribution could enhance
everyone's life. Send replies to:

I encourage
(and assist) other people working on energy
projects to follow my lead, as this is the
ONLY way that these projects have a chance of
succeeding in today's suppressive
environment.
I have done
a LOT of research on the suppression
techniques used by 'vested interest' and have
boxes of files of inventors who had good
(even great) products that never made it to
market. For example (and you can easily check
this out yourself in the patent office), for
the category of 'fuel systems that use heat
to vaporize the fuel' (this technique alone
increases fuel system efficiency up to three
TIMES) there have been over 800 patents in
the last 25 years; not ONE of which has ever
been available on the market. If anyone is
interested in learning the general trend of
the suppression techniques used by 'vested
interest', send me an email; if I get enough
interest I'll do an article on it in a future
edition of this newsletter.
=====================================================
WHAT'S
NEW (top)
Since this
is the first newsletter, everything is new
:))))) But seriously, we have recently made
changes in the order form, making the 'more
info' feature so that it doesn't erase your
order when you use it (handy, eh :)) and
we've added a secure order form for those of
you that had concerns about giving your
credit card information on-line (justly so,
even though in seven years we've not had a
single problem).
I am
training installers for my fuel savers. I do
not have time to do installations myself and
I'm hoping this will help all of you that
want fuel savers installed but haven't yet.
We are still making improvements on designs
as people get back to us with details on
their installations.
I am also
finally getting back to the HEAT technology
and we are starting an actual project whereby
we will burn waste products to power a home,
(we will use the 'Reverse Your Electric
Meter' technology). The idea is to design a
system that can be home-built,
home-maintained and built inexpensively out
of surplus parts. It will use LTPC
technology, operating at about 160°F in
the boiler and 80°F in the condenser
(air cooled). At the moment we are installing
the 1,000 gallon boiler-heat sink and the
shed in which the power plant will be. More
on this as we slowly build it.
We now have
enough information that we are poised for
another leap in Brown's Gas efficiency. We
already have the world's most efficient
machines and the input from people using
Brown's Gas has helped us to design even
better machines. This 'leap' will take a few
months to become evident.

SELF-RELIANCE
(top)
We just had
a 'preparedness' weekend; where we turned off
the power and water, testing our alternative
living techniques. It went well, particularly
as we discovered some equipment that needed
rebuilding and spare parts; this is easy to
do now, not so easy in an actual
crisis.
At the
moment we are living in an apartment in a
small city; which is far removed from my
wilderness background. I grew up on a ranch
in central British Columbia, where we were 36
miles from town (across a ferry) and had no
electricity, telephone, television, radio,
running hot/cold water, etc. We hunted for
food because our cattle were our cash crop;
we also had a fair sized garden. We hauled
our water uphill from a like over a mile
away. Most people today can't imagine that
daily life, even if they are familiar with
'camping.'
Actually,
this is the reason I so much appreciate the
conveniences most people take for granted and
have deliberately learned how to provide them
for myself.
In any case,
I'm marrying a wonderful Lady who happens to
be a city girl. She has many skills of her
own and between us we can see that there are
a series of major events coming and we know
that everyone has crisis in their life at
some time anyway. We know that most people
live in cities and even those in rural areas
have lost most of the skills needed to
survive without reliance on others. One of
our life goals is to increase our own
self-reliance and then help others to do the
same.
We started
to put together a program of self-reliance
for ourselves; then as we discussed it with
others (friends and family mostly), we
discovered a great need for a simple yet
comprehensive self-reliance program for
everyone, no matter where they live or what
skills they have now. Most people don't even
know enough to ask the right questions to
find the answers. So we wrote 'Do-it-Yourself
Crisis Survival' to give people the basic
knowledge to ask the right questions, to
design a customized self-reliance
program.
We put a
huge amount of work into the book to make it
as 'user-friendly' and comprehensive as
possible, yet also keep it simple and usable
to most everyone. Helping to ask questions
like 'Where do I put body waste if I live in
a 20th story apartment and the plumbing isn't
working?' And then providing practical
answers or at least giving you places to go
look for the proper answers for yourself.
It's all in the book, so I won't detail it
here.
We also are
heavy into actually DOING the alternatives in
practice. No matter how much you THINK you
are ready, only a test will give you the
truth. Thinking isn't good enough, as our own
recent test proved. We know what we are doing
and actual testing showed places we could do
better.
Anyway, I'm
not trying to promote the book (much), I'm
actually trying to help you become aware of
self-reliance issues. If you want to see more
about the book, there's a lot of information
on the self-reliance portion of our
website:
http://www.eagle-research.com
And there is
more at Amazon.com
For those of
you who have read 'Do-it-Yourself Crisis
Survival' I invite you to post your
evaluation on Amazon.com; there is a place
that allows readers to post their
testimonials.
I will not
make an issue of Y2K here, except to say that
it is far better to be prepared than not.
Preparedness costs little (if you follow our
recommendations) and will allow you time to
act appropriately in any crisis. Prepared
people can help others, unprepared people are
a drain on community resources just at the
time they are most needed to deal with the
crisis.
There are a
lot of crisis to prepare for that has nothing
to do with Y2K. Being unemployed, injury,
fire, natural disasters of many kinds, even
just losing your wallet or purse.
Many people
turn to Eagle-Research for help on projects
that help them save fuel and create
electricity to become more self-reliant. We
are doing our best to fill those needs from
'alternative' points of view that take into
account the earth's environment. We will
continue to help in any way we can; this is
not a 'job,' it is our LIFE.
=====================================================
BROWN'S
GAS NEWS (top)
I have good
reason to believe that Brown's Gas is simply
water that is in a gaseous state that is not
steam and that it is mostly formed right out
of the fluid itself, not off the plates. If
you go to our website, you'll see a few more
details:
http://www.eagle-research.com/browngas/whatisbg/watergas.html
We need to
learn how to separate this gaseous water from
the H2 and O2 that is also created in the
electrolyzer; so that we can perform
experiments using the pure gas.
I am asking
anyone with ideas on ways to separate these
gasses to email them to me. We already have
some ideas, but as before, no one person can
think of everything. Also with your ideas,
please include thoughts on the equipment
needed to do the separation.
We now have
two Universities preparing to test some
features of Brown's Gas. If you know of
anyone who would like to test the gas, let me
know.
Quite a few
organizations have approached us to see if
Brown's Gas will work in their applications.
In most cases the answer has been YES. If you
use flammable gasses in your industrial
process now, you need to check out Brown's
Gas.
Hundreds of
people around the world have now built
Brown's Gas machines of the Eagle-Research
design and research results are coming in. We
learn more nearly everyday and will be
writing up further reports as we confirm
details with our own testing.
Anyone who
has built a Brown's Gas machine can send a
jpeg of it, along with an explanation of it's
size and features, and I'll post appropriate
ones on the 'homebuilt' portion of our
website. If you'd like to show it off to
others, just give me permission to post your
contact information as well.
For those
people building electrolyzers from the plans
in 'Brown's Gas Book 2,' the plans are still
100% valid. The commercial designs vary
mostly in safety features that you don't need
if you've built your own machine and follow
the safety instructions in the
book.
Anyone who
has commercial Brown's Gas machines (ours or
others) may also send in their contact
information (which I will post) so that
readers can contact them directly to discuss
their machines.
We are now
seriously designing a commercial ER4000, as
we've discovered a huge market for it in
industry. In these applications it will save
an average of $23,000 USD per year by
replacing industrial gasses now used. It will
have the same innovation designed into it
that the ER1150 Water Torch has, plus
additional features like 'air purge' (to
prevent backfires) and automatic water fill.
It will be the smallest, lightest and most
efficient 4000 liter/hr electrolyzer in the
world.
There was a
rumor floating around the web some time ago
that you could use baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate) as an electrolyte in Brown's Gas
machines. People liked that idea because the
electrolyte is non-toxic. I had experimented
with it in the past, but I had experimented
with so many electrolytes that I ran another
set of experiments to check my memory (I was
correct). The results are this:
Yes, baking
soda works as an electrolyte; but I do not
recommend it for several reasons:
• It
does not have a long lifespan, it produces
sludge in the cells.
• It
produces almost NO Brown's Gas, almost all
the gas coming from the cells is H2 and
O2.
• It
requires almost twice the voltage per cell to
make gas compared to using Lye (my preferred
electrolyte at 25% by weight). This means
that it takes twice the wattage to produce
the same volume of gas; not much of a problem
if you're making 50 liters of gas per hour,
but a huge problem if you are in the 1000
liter and up bracket. For example, instead of
my ER1150 Water Torch taking just over 3000
watts/hr, it would take 6000
watts/hr.
After
spending some time tracing these rumors, I
discovered that the people who thought their
efficiency was high (low voltage per cell)
had previously run Lye as an electrolyte in
their electrolyzers and did not completely
clean out their machines before trying the
baking soda, so they were still running on
Lye and didn't know it.
Remember, at
the 25% solution I recommend, the Lye is not
exceptionally dangerous. Dipping your hand in
it is like using very strong soap and if you
do not wash off the 'slippery' feeling with
fresh water or neutralize it with lemon juice
or vinegar, then you will start to feel a
burn around fingernails or wounds; again just
wash or neutralize. Once in the electrolyzer,
the Lye stays there, only water comes out; it
is safe.

Hi
George,
For peoples
who can afford it it would be wise to have
/buy/invest in the
small silver
bars which come already in very small sizes
and cam be an
exelent way
of having an alternative currency.As you have
observed in your way our world is changing in
manny ways.A 3 months pay in little silver
bars is a good reserve.
Thanks for
all the good work,George,May Spirit lighten
your path.
Kind regards
Edward van Ulft Holland.
Hi
George!
We're
looking forward to getting your newsletter
and learning about
more ways to
become self-sufficient.
You asked
for tips. One is that we are member of the
Family
Preparedness
Now Company which provides a wonderful
selection of
cool-dehydrated
foods at very reasonable prices and it's the
only company I
know of that
you can get your monthly shipment free if you
join their program and sponsor only 3 people.
Jim and I ordered a years supply for one
person @ $1,395 and within a week had
sponsored 6 people, so we've received our
monthly shipment for over a year for free -
which is building up for the second
person.
We then
purchased several containers of sprouting
seeds from Life
Sprouts. We
figure if the transportation system is
effected, we'll have lots
of good food
and I grow a little garden on my counter-top
year round which
supplies us
with fresh minerals, vitamins and enzymes!
You can store bushels of food in small
containers if it is dehydrated or seeds and
all you need is water.
Our next
project is to build solar ovens when our
granddaughters
visit the
first two weeks in August. We can build one
for their family, too.
Then we want
to get a composting toilet.
So when will
we have an alternative source for heat and
lights? We've
been praying
a breakthrough would be coming. Just wish we
had more money to support inventors whose
hearts are in the right place and who are
working on such things.
Thanks for
keeping us posted,
Janet and
Jim Meisinger
=====================================================
The
October/99 issue will feature inventor
assistance; in particular some guidelines to
paperwork that will save a lot of time and
trouble. I already have some contributions
along this line, more are
welcomed.
The
December/99 issue will feature some Free
Energy 'rumors' I call them rumors till I can
prove they work through my own experience. If
anyone has rumors to share, please do so.
Let's track down these inventors and give
them the assistance they need to produce
viable alternative energy machines.
Warning...proceed with caution on both sides,
inventors and investors, I'll help (with
advise) anyone who asks.
February/2000
issue will be on fuel savers, outlining those
that I consider best for today's automobiles.
Know of any that you'd like evaluated? Drop
me an email.
