TWO NEW VENDORS FOR THE HHO GAMES!

OCTOBER 29, 2011, 4:44PM ET -- Check out the SHOW SETUP page via the button at the top of this page. We have two new vendors from Pennsylvania, including Mike Holler's Ecosceptor LLC and DICI Products. Mike, an expert on Efies and turning for HHO, will be giving several seminars during the Nov 11-13 Games and has contributed an article on HHO Tuning for our page. You can find it to the right of this column by scrolling down to the light green box entitled "More Hydrogen Resources." It's the top item. Mike is bringing his amazing Automotive X Games entry, a 2008 Hyundai Sonata that will blow your socks off - remember, you had to get extremely high mileage to enter. The car will be in Demonstration Zone Space D, and his table will be in the Display Hall at Space 7. DICI, which sells HHO kits and gear, will be in Space 6. We'll have more about them both later this week. Meanwhile, a few vendor and demonstrator spaces remain, so call Joe Shea at 941-462-2616 to snap one up.

STERLING ALLAN'S VIDEO OF E CAT WORKING!

OCTOBER 28, 2011, 6:13PM ET -- Here, from Sterling Allan of Peswiki, is the first video we've seen of the E Cat in operation - producing 478,000 watts of power with no power inpout!

Update: There may be some bad news from the Associated Press about their coverage of the Rossi E Cat demonstration discussed below. According to sources at AP and elsewhere, there were discussions about the piece with Science Editor Kim Frieden (kfrieden@ap.org). She has apparently decided to sit on it, even after flying Peter Svensson all the way from New York to Bologna to cover the event. I suppose this should have been expected. They are a strange and unpredictable organization.

FIRST OFFICIAL WORD ON THE E CAT: IT WORKS!

OCTOBER 28, 2011, 5:58PM ET -- Yes, it's a breakthrough, Rossi says - 470,000 watts of power with no input!

ON THE DAY OF THE MOMENTOUS TEST, ROSSI'S E CAT REMAINS UNKNOWN

OCTOBER 28, 2011, 4:23am -- One has to ask, when the day has come that Forbes.com, Wired.com and Network World have called one of the most momentous days in world history - the demonstration of a 1,000,000-watt cold fusion reactor that can eliminate oil as a source of fuel forevermore - why major media like CNN, CBS, NBC, Fox and the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Washington Post have completely missed, ignored or spiked the news?

Even though people ranging from NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell, Nobel Physics Laureate Brian Josephson and the chairman of the energy committee of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences - who helps pick the Nobel Prize winner - have endorsed it, the E Catalyzer of Italian scientist Andrea Rossi that will be turned on for its 11th and final public demonstration - for fellow scientists, journalists and a customer, described as a major industrial organization - who's coming at the University of Bologna Friday is still unknown to the American public.

In a word: the Big Oil behemoth that stands astride the world of energy has forbade it, and none dare brook its rage. Even the energy subcommittee staff of Rep. Henry Waxman had never even heard of the device (at left), much less of the test, but top NASA scientists and engineers and famed U. of Illinois Prof. George Miley, have studied it under a deep veil of unwanted secrecy - and Miley says he has replicated similar work by late inventor James Patterson at the prestigious Urbana-Champaign campus, site of one of the world's most powerful computers.

Yet on Friday, when the supposed vital news organs of the planet are elsewhere, the American public may still be in the dark. (For more, see "TOP SECRET: ROSSI COLD FUSION DEVICE TOPIC OF NASA CHAT" on Oct. 21, below)

Update, 6:10AM Here are two Twitter feeds that are supposed to have started tweeting and blogging about an hour ago, but both have posted nothing so far. The delay may be due to the four hours it takes the device to warm up. The biggest story now seems to be the AP writer that I got to come through my friend Fisniak Abrashi, an AP editor in London. He called Rome and they called New York, which got an AP Science writer on a plane to Italy when they heard the story. The fellow is there now and has the global exclusive for the mainstream press.

Update, 6:14AM: First Tweet, from Sterling Allan of Peswiki:

PES Network, Inc.

I'm here at the 1 MW test. They asked us not to report until after the test. Waiting my turn to go see. http://RossiColdFusion.com

Update: There was a note to someone from Rossi on his last-minute preparations (NB: His English is faulty):

Thank you: now it's 4 p.m. of the 27th, and we are finishing the cosmetics of the plant. I think tomorrow we will make, with the help of God, a good job. My work, basically, is finished. Within one hour the Consultants of the Customer will arrive to start the check of all the parts of the plant and prepare all their stuff for the test of tomorrow. Until some hour ago I felt a strong pressure, now, at the eve of the battle, as usual, I am recovering all my coldness and calm. We are ready.

Warm Regards, A.R.

Update, 3:57am ET, 10/28/11 (957AM in Bologna): This comes from Sterling Allan of Peswiki in Bologna:

AP Writer Approved I just spoke to Andrea Rossi by phone. He invited me to come earlier than 11, at 9:30 am [GMT+1], as they "are ready". He said the AP writer from NYC has the address, and is approved to attend; and I will meet him this morning. He asked me to postpone posting the PowerPoint presentation Hank and I prepared for the event until tomorrow. I'm going to go catch breakfast. -- SilverThunder 22:45, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

$12,500 GRANT FROM BRIGHT HOUSE PUTS 250 HHO GAMES ADS ON THE AIR

OCTOBER 26, 2011, 4:06pm -- Bright House Networks, the Florida Time-Warner cable subsidiary, has given a $12,500 grant to run HHO Games & Exposition Public Service Announcements a minimum of 250 times on the MSNBC, National Geographic, TNT, Travel, TV Land, A&E, Spike and TRU-TV channels, according to Bright House Public Affairs Director Leah Brown. We thanked her profusely while congratulating her on the birth of her 8 lb., 4 oz baby girl! We will get a full report at the end of the "autofill" run - meaning the PSA runs in Manatee County whenever an ad slot is unfilled - that began on Oct. 24 and goes through through Nov. 13. The last time this happened, in 2008, the HHO Games drew 2,500 people. Once again, thank you, Bright House, and congratulations, Leah!

GADGETMAN GROOVE RON HATTON TO OFFER INSTALLATIONS AT HHO GAMES

OCTOBER 24, 2011, 12:50PM -- One of the most exciting fuel-saving developments in years is coming to the Nov. 11-13 HHO Games at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. Ron Hatton, better known as Gadgetman Groove, will offer a completely new $500 licensing plan for individuals and do real-time installations for clients at the Games.

Rick McKean, the organizer of the Pecos Twister rally earlier this month, gives it a strong endorsement. "Ron Hatton (Gadgetman) has a patented modification to any carburetor or throttle body for gasoline engines. It takes about one hour to modify the throttle body and increases horsepower and gas mileage. This modification can work with HHO. Jeanie and I drove to Phoenix last week to meet him and had our 2001 Cadillac modified and her dad's Suburban which I had taken off and put into a box. Both vehicles are amazing!" Rick said in an e-mail to us.

In a note from the Gadgetman, Ron told us "The Gadgetman Groove was born in a small garage, on a folding table in the spring of 2009 in Gilbert, AZ. Since that time, it has been successfully applied to thousands of engines world-wide with the end result of every engine operating at increased levels of efficiency. Reduction in emissions and fuel consumption along with dramatic increases in power delivery have been noted by virtually every one who has experienced this amazing technology." The Gadgetman Groove can reportedly save 5 or more miles per gallon, and can lead to far greater gains coupled with HHO, he says.

Ron's work will be on display at Space F in the gated parking lot.

WATCH THE RADIO DEBUT OF THE 'FUEL SAVERS' SHOW

OCTOBER 24, 2011, 3:07PM -- Here's a YouTube video hot off the press from Barry Holzsweig's "Fuel Savers" show featuring Barry, star developer Ed Grimm and a short, fat bald guy in a black T-shirt (oops! That's me!). We had a great discussion, and I hope you'll enjoy it.

You can also see streaming video from the show anywhere in the world by clicking on the Fuel Savers logo in the Oct. 22 story below anytime between 4PM and 5PM (US Eastern Time) on Saturday afternoons.

EXCLUSIVE! AT LAST, AN ENGINE THAT RUNS ON WATER

OCTOBER 22, 2011, 8:27PM -- We were invited under the strictest secrecy today to view a lawnmower-sized engine that runs on water.

It was anticlimactic, in a sense: We poured in a quart or so of water, turned a key to start it and it ran for about 9 minutes. Then a sensor inside turned it off by itself to protect electronics that must remain wet inside the padlocked and sealed orange box that contains the green liquid catalyst, creates the hydrogen and holds the water for electrolysis.

A 1" clear plastic hoses runs from the box to the engine, and other than the odorless, colorless hydrogen and a little vapor, no chemical or gasoline variant that we could smell or otherwiase discern passed through it. The resulting exhaust was also odorless. A rag next to the device, however, smelled strongly of gasoline, and the inventor was unable to explain that. Skeptics say he may have used a clarifier to make the gasoline colorless, a fine spray nozzle to vaporize the gasoline and hydrogen electrolysis to bind to the gas to make it both odorless and invisible, but what would be the point? The device produces a couple of liters a minute and runs on as little as 2 amps.

So why are we writing about it?

Because so far, three well-known billionaires, engineers from a major automaker, the CEO of one of the largest independent auto parts suppliers (a household name), all at different times, have flown in their corporate jet sto this small corner of Florida to see the otherwise absolutely normal 11hp engine, mounted on a countertop with nothing below it, run on the most abundant fuel in the universe - uncompressed hydrogen-on-demand (i.e., not stored in a tank that can explode but used up as sson as it's made) from water and a few cents worth of ordinary, off-the-shelf household chemicals.

The device is the result of four years of intensive work, and may be the best hope yet that not long from now American cars, motorcycles, buses and trucks will run on nothing more expensive than water.

The inventor, a native Californian who was badly beaten by two men who initially said they wanted to partner with his company, will not provide his name, location or any other significant details that could identify him to the general public.

But, like Steve Jobs, once the pending patents he has are legally protected, he may become our next great American innovator, a new Thomas Edison. Once he is indemnified against patent thieves, he expects to license the hydrogen generator for worldwide manufacturing. The inventor told us he will do his best to be at the HHO Games, but will not be displaying his new engine or reveal more information than is presented here.

He'll also tell folks about the upcoming Nov. 11-13 HHO Games. Barry runs the highly successful Fuel Genie Systems in Clearwater, makers of our own HHO kit.

TOP SECRET: ROSSI COLD FUSION DEVICE TOPIC OF NASA CHAT

Oct. 21, 2011 3:36PM -- A conference at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, that brought together key scientific and energy experts on Sept. 22 to discuss the latest advances in cold fusion (now known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, or LENR), including the hydrogen-based, 1-megawatt "E Cat" device due to be tested in Bologna, Italy on Oct. 28, deliberately decided not to take any notes, audio or video recordings of the event.

The E Cat for Home Use
"It was not an oversight, it was a decision that was made by the workshop participants," said Diane Billik, an administrative support assistant at NASA who organized the event, in an email to The American Reporter.

"Although I was the POC for organizing the LENR Workshop here at Glenn, I am not able to distribute any materials that were presented. The event was not recorded so there is no audio or video available. A decision has not yet been made as to how, if, or when these will be distributed (to my knowledge) and my participation was limited to organizing the workshop," Billik said.

The Oct. 28 demonstration at the University of Bologna, which only yesterday reached the mainstream media with an article by Mark Gibbs published Oct. 17 in Forbes.com, could upend the entire spectrum of conventional energy, the article said.

The secrecy apparently was invoked to allow participants to speak freely about their ideas on a topic that has long been tabu.

"What Rossi likes to gloss over is this. Imagine you have a hot water tank that has a heating cycle of hours instead of minutes - and notice he hasn't demonstrated turning one back on. Now if what he was first boasting about- enriched pure isotopes of nickel in bulk quantities - this would be the real breakthrough, which [Dr. Randell] Mills has alluded to. What Rossi again will be doing is putting a system in a state identical to one that will be measured later, just as one would expect for a system designed for continuous operation," said a scientist queried by the HHO Games.

In another key development, a consortium of top cold fusion scientists working separately has been formed to carry the technology forward. The consortium includes Dr. Randell Mills of BlackLight Power in Cranbury, NJ, whose theories about the ground state of hydrogen have been jeered by DOE Secretary and Nobel Laureate Dr. Stephen Chu, yet were validated in part in February tests by the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell
 Nobel Physics Laureate Brian Josephson has endorsed the Rossi device, as had the chair of the Energy Committee of Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences, who helps vet Nobel Prize winners, when he saw a demonstration in Bologna in February. An article on innovation that included an interview with NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell (above) about the Italian device and photos of it appeared in The American Reporter on July 16, 2011, where it is still available.

AT LAST, A REAL PLUG 'N PLAY HHO KIT FROM hHOFEe

5:19AM ET, Oct. 20, 2011 -- A well-regarded group of techies has launched the first part of their long-in-development plug 'n play HHO kit. "As some of you know, we have been working on a fully integrated plug and play HHO system. Well, good news: we are going to be releasing the first part of the system, the driver module," the hHOFEe group (that's the real spelling!) said in a blog post to HHO INFORMATION today. Check out their first post and follow the discussion on HHO INFO.

HHO FLEA MARKET A NEW FEATURE OF THE HHO GAMES

11:10AM ET, Oct. 20, 2011 -- Have parts, unused kits and accessories you'd like to sell to close out or update your inventory? Plates, boxes, PWMs, EFIEs and other items are ideal for our new HHO Flea Market. With hundreds of HHO Games visitors coming from around the country, we're offering the opportunity for vendors, developers and inventors to polish up their stuff and sell it at a profit. You pay only $10 to share a table or tables to display your wares, and half of that money will go to the HHO-INFORMATION Web site to help defray its costs.

BRIGHT HOUSE ACCEPTS HHO GAMES PSA FOR BROADCAST

2:40PM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- Bright House Networks, the Tampa Bay region subsidiary of cable giant Time-Warner, has accepted and will begin airing our HHO Games & Expo Public Service Aannouncement soon, we learned today. Charles Clapsaddle of Manatee Educational TV, who produced the Robin Miller video (scroll down a few items to see it), gave us the good news just a few minutes ago. It will reach hundreds of thousands of households in the Tampa Bay region via all the major cable channels and Bay News 9, the company's flagship local news outlet, until Nov. 13. The PSA was critical to the success of our 2008 Games, attracting 2,500 people and airing more than 450 times. Thank you, Bright House!

TEXAS BOX-MAKER SEEKS 'COMPONENTS ONLY' FOR 100-200 TRUCK KITS

2:30PM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- A Texas man will be at the HHO Games to line up suppliers of internal components – not boxes - for 100 to 200 truck kits he hopes to sell over the coming year. As a manufacturer of aluminum boxes for a variety of needs, he plans only to assemble the parts and provide his own branded boxes for them. If you have excess inventory, are going out of business and need to sell parts, already are - or are looking at - becoming a parts distributor, we'll be happy to introduce you to Tony Kastens at the show. He'll be staying at the Knights Inn.

RICHARD KEOUGH AUTHORIZED TO SELL VENDOR AND DEMONSTRATOR SPACES

12:30PM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- The HHO Games & Exposition has authorized Moreco Energy CEO Richard Keough to make a deal with anyone who wants to have a display, inventor or demonstrator space at the 8th HHO Games on Nov. 11-13, 2011, at the Classic Car Museum in Sarasota, Fla. He can sell the $250 and $125 spaces at any price he wants. Our rental deposit was paid three weeks early but Vendors we counted on are going out of business even as oil prices rise again. Richard can help you get back in business and also earn big commissions on space sales. Call him today at (941)244-6343 to get ridiculously low rates for remaining spaces! Why? We've got hotels full of people and hundreds more coming, and we want all of them to see how exciting our industry really is!

ST. PETERSBURG PERMACULTURE SOCIETY INVITES SHEA TO SPEAK

12:20PM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- On Nov. 10, 2011, the founder of the HHO Games & Exposition - that's me! - has been invited to speak at the regular meeting of the influential St. Petersburg Permaculture Society, which works to create a sustainable environment and has a strong interest in alternative energy. The coordinator for the event, Kalika Novoa, has promised to bring some of the society's 60-odd members to the Nov. 11-13 HHO Games in nearby Sarasota.

AL SUAREZ ADDS AN RV INSTALLATION TO HIS HHO GAMES PRESENTATION

11:49AM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- Al Suarez, the Tampa inventor who claims he can get a huge boost in mileage from installation of a tiny HHO kit, will add an live installation on a large RV to his presentation at the HHO Games on Nov. 12, he told us today. RVs are a major new market - "new" because the earlier numbers have been small, not because installers haven't tried - and if the kit works as advertised, some may see mileage gains in the 50% range. Al's signature installation is his 2007 Toyota Corolla, which gets 83MPG, he says, using only a half amp of battery power. Come out and prove him wrong - if you can!

HHO UPDATES GETS AN EXCLUSIVE INVITATION TO SEE A NEW ALL-HHO CAR

11:40AM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- Under conditions of the strictest secrecy, we've been invited to experience a new all-HHO car very soon. We have known the inventor for years now, and we're looking forward to see what he has created. As we are not permitted to reveal his name or location - he says the vehicle has already brought one attempt on his life - we will let you know next week what we've seen and think. Just imagine a future without the cost of gasoline!

HOWARD PHILLIPS SEEKS MORE CARBON CATALYST EVALUATORS

11:30AM ET, Oct. 19, 2011 -- New evaluators are being sought by Dr. Howard Phillips for his Carbon Catalyzer products. "The reason we are changing our policy and opening up our evaluation program is that recent feedback from evaluators seems encouraging - with reports that people have used CC and successfully produced hydrogen at rates of 1 LPM, 4 LPM, 6.5 LPM and 20 LPM. So, I think it is time to make CC available to those who want it, knowing that independent evaluators seem to be reproducing the results that we have reported," he told us in a note this morning. Dr. Phillips suggests that anyone interested first download a PDF file at www.PhillipsCompany.4T.com/CT.pdf.

E-MAIL ISSUES WITH US?

10:22PM ET, Oct. 17, 2011 -- We believe there's been a problem in receiving our e-mail as we get messages from multiple folks saying they sent stuff we've never received. To help, I've re-posted our e-mail address (joe@hhogames.com) above, and if you have not gotten a response to any email you sent to me, please let me know ASAP. We do respond to all our e-mail, and it bugs us that we may have missed some.

SAUDI BASIC INDUSTRIES HITS OUR WEB PAGE

10:18PM ET, Oct. 17, 2011 -- Saudi Basic Industries, a group that takes a strong interest in new energy developments, has been hitting the HHO Games Web site recently, and we hope their well-known investment prowess may lead them to Sarasota Classic Car Museum on Nov. 11-13, 2011. They are among the many hundreds of new visitors galvanized by Sterling Allan's Peswiki site on alternative energy projects. One of those is the E-Cat, which is a hydrogen-based power generator from inventor Andrea Rossi (at the center of a media scrum in this picture) that in late October will demonstrate a 1MW unit - that's 1 million watts - which can multiply the power input by 4 to 40 times. It works through a self-sustaining catalyzer process, not unlike the seemingly moribund BlackLight Power hydrino reactor. We spoke with Sterling this morning and he mentioned his plans to go to Bologna, Italy, for the 1MW demo at the University of Bologna on Oct. 28.

A CATERPILLAR MACHINE 3 STORIES HIGH, BURNING 30 GALLONS OF GAS AN HOUR, TURNS TO GLOBAL HYDROGEN'S HHO KIT

10:18PM ET, Oct. 16, 2011 -- Have you ever seen a bulldozer 3 stories high? Well, that's one in the picture, and until Ed Grimm of Global Hydrogen came along, it was burning 30 gallons of fuel an hour as it digs a quarry in Las Vegas. Even a 10% savings using HHO on a behemoth like that turns into a lot of money awfully fast! And by the way, there's great career possibilities - we mean jobs - available at Global Hydrogen in beautiful Holiday, Fla., as a major expansion (including a new addition to their plant) gets underway to handle truck fleets and marine customers turning to HHO to save fuel and clean up the environment. Ed and CEO Scott Harlib will be at the HHO Games to offer seminars and an HHO Spectacular display in Space B, right in the center of everything.

PESWIKI ARTICLE JAMS OUR WEBSITE WITH NEW READERS

8:21PM ET, Oct. 16, 2011 -- Our Web site traffic increased more than 1,000% today when the Peswiki site run by our old friend Sterling Allan ran a beautiful little note about the upcoming HHO Games. We were also the recipients of a telephone deluge from people who saw email from Richard Keough, who is surely doing something right on the publicity front - he's even getting advance TV coverage for us!Since we began counting, 77,400 people have visited our site, and they now spend an average of 2.5 minutes on each visit. I just hope we'll be able to hold all the people his efforts are bringing to the Games on Nov. 11-13 at the Sarasota Classicx Car Museum. And don't forget the $39.95 (plus tax) rate from Knight's Inn if you're staying overnight. It's really close enough to walk from, so take a dip in the pool, eat a free breakfast. check your email on their free WiFi and take a stroll to the Games!

GABET123 OPENS FREE HHO-INFO ACCESS FOR LIMITED TIME

8:53PM ET, Oct. 16, 2011 -- One guy who's done more than any other - including me - to raise awareness about HHO, hydrogen and the range of uses for it is Gabet123, the proprietor of HHO Information. Recently, to cover the growing costs of a site that now hosts 3,000 people and dozens of HHO forums, businesses, chats and events - they even stream the Smart Scarecrow show live - he's had to institute a small fee. Yet, recognizing that folks contribute to its growth through their own work and information, he's now offering a free pass for a limited time to registered members. We are always broke around here, so that was great news! HHO Information and HHOgames.com are the leading sites, we believe, for news, information and contacts in our brave new industry. Gabe's generosity is deeply appreciated.

'FUEL SAVERS' PREMIERE SHOW GOES OFF WITHOUT A HITCH

2:03AM ET, Oct. 16, 2011 -- Saturday's debut show of "Fuel Savers" was terrific, fast-paced, fun and highly informative. The signal was strong, listeners said, accessible 60 miles to the south and presumably the same to the north, south, west and east. The next airing will be Oct. 22 on WTAN AM-1340 at 4PM. (An earlier version of this article was misinformed, in that we did notknow the speaker was Jewish and entitled to make the remark. We apologize.)

HHO GAMES PSA FOR BRIGHT HOUSE/TIME-WARNER DEBUTS

11:07AM ET, Oct. 15, 2011 -- Robin Miller's custom-made PSA for the Nov. 11-13 HHO Games is up on YouTube! The 30-second spot, created for ther Bright House Network by Robin and polished by Charles Clapsaddle of METV, was prepared after the Time-Warner subsidiary asked us earlier tyhis year if we'd like to do one for the next HHO Games. The spot ran more than 450 times in 2008 ahead of our first HHO Games & Exposition at the Manatee County Fairgrounds and drew more than 2,500 people to that event.

HHO 'FUEL SAVERS' RADIO SHOW DEBUTS TODAY AT 4PM ON WTAN-AM 1340 IN TAMPA

12:12AM ET, Oct. 15, 2011 -- Don't miss the debut of the "Fuel Savers" radio show hosted by Barry Holzsweig of Fuel Genie Systems this afternoon on WTAN-AM 1340 at 4PM. The 1340 signal is heard all the way from Gainesville to Venice. If you'd like to be a future guest or just chat with others on his show, call him at 727-799-3320 today. It will all be happening in his HHO Information storefront at Regal Cars at the corner of NE Coachman (not Old Coachman) and Drew in Largo, where he's been educating the curious for almost two months now on the exciting ways HHO can help save money, improve our environment, restore our freedom to travel and get the big oil companies and Arab world off our backs. I just got back from a 225-mile trip to Disney's Contemporary Resort near Orlando this evening, and it was the first time I've really been able to get a reading on my mileage outside the city. As I told Barry two days ago, I was very please with the performance, power and in-city mileage of my Fuel Genie HHO kit - 30MPG in a 2002 Saturn SC-2 - but hadn't had the chance to take it on the road since we rebooted the Volo chip to boost the mileage. His installer Philip corrected a missing wire and other small issues for free - as always under his 3-year warranty and 60-day money-back guarantee. Wow! I finally hit the 40MPG goal I've been looking for, and the "hho power-plus" performance came in handy when I had to floor it on I-4 and near an exit from Disney World. To be honest, I cruised at 80MPH much of the way there and back, and probably averaged 75, yet I got tremendous mileage and got to savor the perfect hum of a well-tuned 1.9-liter, 4-cyl engine in a car that's not been well-cared for (though well-loved) and has more than 165,000 miles on it!

DR. HOWARD PHILLIPS SCHEDULED TO BE TOP SPEAKER AT HHO GAMES

12:05PM ET, Oct. 11, 2011 -- Staff Sgt. Mark Praught, USA (Ret.) is en route to Dallas as we write, planning to speak tomorrow with officials of the Cerma microceramic bonding company in Dennison, Tex., and then head northeast to the Choctaw Nation in southeast Oklahoma. He's going there at the invitation of Dr. Howard Phillips, an expert on Choctaw history and a former University of North Carolina Professor of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Phillips (see curriculum vitae), a former chief of Systems Engineering for the Lockheed Microelectronics plant in Sunnyvale, Calif., has brought tremendous excitement to fans of HHO and hydrogen around the world with his revolutionary chemical process for hydrogen-on-demand.

Dr. Phillips told us tonight that his proprietary, self-sustaining Catalytic Carbon process may be able to produce a volume of hydrogen- on-demand – not stored in tanks – potentially required to run a typical automobile solely on hydrogen created from water, an estimated 50 liters per minute. Do the math: Since 1 liter of water will produce 1,800 liters of hydrogen, a reservoir with a half-gallon of water would be sufficient to take a car 180 miles before the water was exhausted; a 1-gallon reservoir would be sufficient for a 360-mile trip. Dr. Phillips has tentatively agreed to fly in from Oklahoma to speak on Friday, Nov. 11, 2011, at 11 A.M. Seating will be limited. He will have time to meet with individuakl developers during the lunch hour following his talk, her said. The Phillips Company plans to license the technology to hydrogen developers over the coming year, when the first market-wide units should be available to the public. Some 40 developers in six countries are currently testing the product.

The Autumn HHO Games will be held at the Classic Car Museum, 5500 N. Tamiami Trail (US 41) at University Parkway. The museum borders SRQ International, and is across the street from the world-famous Ringling Art Museum, which contains the Renaissance art collection of the John and Mabel Ringling, owners of the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. It is also immediately adjacent to New College of Florida and the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee Campus, and just one long block north of Knights Inn, which is offering a special $39.95 rate to those who mention the Classic Car Museum and HHO Games. Call 941-462-2616 for more information.

AL SUAREZ BRINGING NEW FANS TO THE HHO GAMES

10:59AM ET, Oct. 8, 2011 -- The response to our article about the Al Suarez "Cool Fuel" kit has been overwhelming. "Lots of email," he says. "There are some that are coming from as far as New York, Pennsylvania and Chicago, Georgia and Alabama," he said. Since many will be arriving on Saturday, not our busy Veterans Day opening the day before, we hope we can get Al to stay an extra day - or two!

RICHARD KEOUGH REPORTS SNN CHANNEL 6 MAY FILM OUR THURSDAY SET-UP

10:59AM ET, Oct. 8, 2011 -- Richard Keough, who is doing publicity for the HHO Games and is also a vendor in Space 3, says producers at SNN Channel 6, the popular Sarasota news channel on Comcast, have tentatively planned to do a piece on the show set-up during the day on Thursday, Nov. 10, which will be from 9am to 6pm. We are working now with METV producer Charles Clapsaddle on PSAs planned to run on Bright House Channel 9, all its cable channels and the Manatee County government channels. Clapsaddle worked with the late Peter Sellers on the Oscar-winning "Being There," and produced the PSAs for the Nov. 11-14, 2008, HHO Games that ran 482 times and helped bring in 2,500 people.

AL SUAREZ TO SHOW HIS 83MPG TOYOTA AND KIT AT THE HHO GAMES

9:01PM ET, Oct. 6, 2011 -- The most provocative and unusual HHO hho system there is will have its debut at the Nov. 11-13, 2011, HHO Games at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Al Suarez, the inventor of a tiny HHO kit that uses virtually no power at all - or actually generates it - will. display the kit on his 2005, 4-door Toyota Corolla sedan, which with his special electrolyte mix and Kool-Lift kit gets 83MPG on the highway, and averages 45MPG in combined city/highway driving. And the Suarez kit uses - get this - just 0.04 amps of power, he told us today. You did read that correctly - 4/100ths of an amp for electrolysis. How is that possible? We don't know, but Al will give us a seminar sure to rock our world! This is the first time the kit will be seen in public, but we have gotten a photo of the "black box" at the heart of 6"x3"x2" device, which he says can fit anywhere under the hood. Don't miss this one!

KNIGHTS INN OFFERS DEEP DISCOUNT TO HHO GAMES

HOWARD PHILLIPS ADVANCES A NEW SOURCE OF HYDROGEN ON DEMAND

7:45PM ET, Sept. 28, 2011 -- So many developers responded to the offer of samples for the Phase I trials that Howard Phillips has had to close the Phase 1 trial. He is now accepting requests for spots in the Phase II trials. No further Phase I samples are available. Please disregard the information at the end of this article concerning their availability. We regret any inconvenience to our readers.

10:12PM ET, Sept. 21, 2011 -- An Oklahoma chemist and nuclear engineer has discovered a catalyst made from carbon and other common, inexpensive materials that - like some volatile hydrides - can turn a quarter teaspoon of aluminum powder and a half teaspoon of water into enough pure hydrogen to last for 50 hours at 1 liter per minute, he said in an exclusive interview with HHO Updates tonight.

He is currently preparing a patent for the method, and making samples available to HHO researchers across the United Sattes and in Europe. We are seeking a qualified experimental chemist and a theoretical chemist, or someone equally qualified, to check and validate his calculations. Write joe@hhogames if you would like to help.

The catalyst in his reaction does not store the hydrogen, as hydrides do, but creates it in combination with water and alumuminum, taking advantage of the fact that aluminum and water when combined will produce hydrogen very slowly. With the catalyst, the conversion rate is fast enough to fuel hydrogen cars, he said. The catalyst remains intact through the process.

Howard Phillips, who operates a pharmaceutical company and earned his Masters in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, said his proprietary catalyst can easily increase the production of hydrogen without electrolysis to quantities that would make possible a car that

runs only with hydrogen made on demand, rather than stored in tanks. That has been the Holy Grail of the HHO industry for some time, and would have a vast number of other applications. (To view the photo more clearly, increase the Zoom level by hitting Control and + on your browser at the same time.) A seminar led by Ed Grimm, the former NASA Space Shuttle technician who teamed with CEO Sc ott Harlib to create the Holiday, Fla.-based Global Hydrogen Technologieswill offer a seminar on the all-HOD car he's building on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the HHO Games (see agenda for times).

Phillips has already installed a Catalytic Carbon hydrogen kit on his V-8 Buick Park Avenue sedan and is enjoying a 30% increase in mileage, from an EPA rating of 27MPG to 37MPG. An ounce of water and and an ounce of aluminum would produce about 25 liters, or .888 of a cubic foot of hydrogen, he calculates as an engineering estimate.

In a long conversation on the same topic today, another inventor spoke of the difficulty of building an all-HHO car. Problems arise during the acceleration phase, when the quantity of gas on demand is sharply increased but the amount produced by a generator remains the same.

The Phillips catalyst, the Oklahoman said, can easily and very quickly increase the amount of hydrogen available on demand.

Presumably, if the need for hydrogen during acceleration can be married to and solved with the Catalytic Carbon process, then Hydrogen On Demand vehicles may be in our future sooner than we think.

Samples of the catalyst have been mailed out to HHO researchers in 13 states and six ountries, and are still available to those who will sign an Non-Disclosure Agreeement with the company. You can learn more at www.PhillipsCompany.4T.com/ct.pdf.

JOE MILES WON'T BE IN KANSAS ANYMORE

9:10AM ET, Sept. 21, 2011 -- Joe Miles of Kansas called yesterday to talk about the Nov. 11-13 HHO Games & Exposition at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. He's coming for tips to get his own HHO kit working better, and hopes to see the Aqua Tune device now used by inventor Dan Merrick, who will show it off at the Pecos River Run organized by Rick McKean in

Carlsbad, NM, Oct. 7-8. We extended an invitation this morning to Nick and Ursula Foy, the Aqua Tune Hydrogen Fuel Sytems folks in Texas, to display their resonant-frequency (radio wave) device at the HHO Games. The company guarantees a 25% improvement in mileage and a 30% improvement in horsepower. The unit's processor has a 5-year warranty. The remaining 2011 devices go for $687.50, and as shown here produce 2.5 liters of hydrogen per minute on 8 amps of power.

THE GAMES ARE MAKING WAVES

6:30AM ET, Sept. 19, 2011 -- A phone call from Jeff Albrecht of Boulder, Colo., awakened us Sunday morning. Jeff said he was calling to sign up for the upcoming Nov. 11-13 HHO Games & Exposition at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. He's been working on HHO devices for years, he said, but lost interest. Now, perhaps with concerns about the high prices of gasoline, he's headed east for the Games to learn how to build and install HHO kits. We were just as excited as he was. Thanks for the call, Jeff, and we'll look forward to seeing you!

NEW RADIO SHOW WILL PROMOTE HHO VENDORS AND THE HHO GAMES

5:51PM ET, Sept. 16, 2011 -- Great news from Barry Holzsweig! He told HHO Update this morning that he’s bringing his high-class act to radio every Saturday starting on Oct. 15. The 1-hour “Fuel Savers” show on 1340-AM will be done live from the corner of Drew St. and Old Coachman in Largo, where Regal Cars will host the future Hydrogen-Assisted Information Depot, and can be heard from Largo to down south of Sarasota. The first show will feature Global Industries CEO Randy Grimm, the former NASA Space Shuttle hydrogen technician, and yours truly talking about the HHO Games. Each week will feature different Tampa-area inventors and their devices, along with Barry’s own Fuel Genie. He’s promised to promote the HHO Games – where he’s arranging for one of the 5 HHO Spectacular spaces – on all four shows before the Nov. 11-13 Autumn HHO Games at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum.

SARASOTA CLASSIC CAR MUSEUM WILL HOST NOV. 11-13 HHO AUTUMN GAMES

4:38PM ET, Sept. 15, 2011 -- We're delighted, of course,to announce that the Nov. 11-13 HHO Games & Exposition will be held at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum, the perfect venue for the new generation of fuels our inventors are producing. The Display Room for this event will feature 3 HHO Spectacular spaces (A, B, and C) and two extra-special spaces at the foot and on either side of the stage (D and E). You can see the layout by clicking on the "Show Setup" button at the very top of this page.

We're also pleased to announce that Manatee Educational Television (METV) is producing PSAs that will run on Bright House, the local Time-Warner cable company. The last time we did this, in 2008 at the first HHO Games, about 2,500 people attended and the ads ran on every cable show a total of more than 468 times. We deeply appreciate the help of METV general manager Charles Clapsaddle, a prize-winning documentary maker, in helping this happen.

Richard Keough, who can be reached at (941-244-6343, is helping us again with media contacts and newspaper calendar listings.

As always we are grateful to Gabet123 of HHO-INFO for providing a platform to announce the HHO Games to the the committed HHO community.

We hope to gain additional publicity in the days ahead and we'll keep you informed of it.

RICK McKEAN REPORTS AMAZING AMMONIA HHO KIT RESULTS AHEAD OF OCT. 7-8 PECOS RIVER RUN

4:38PM ET, Sept. 1, 2011 -- We got as note from Pecos River Run organizer Rick McKean this morning with news of amazing results from an ammonia-based HHO generator that got as much as 64MPG with the new "Superfuel" invented by Dan Merrick and available from Richard Keough at Moreco Energy in Venice, Fla. Here's Rick's note:

We had a great weekend with Ron Hatton, Gadgetman and his groove. He modified 16 vehicles. We tested one today, a 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche PU that normally got 17 mpg. With our ammonia battery cell we got up to 28 mpg last Friday. We installed the groove Saturday and tested the vehicle Monday. Mileage was 26 mpg, 2 mpg loss over the fuel cell by itself. Today we reconnected the PVC valve that Ron normally plugs off when he does his groove. This sent the Fuel Trims into the minus 10-15! A trip to Artesia was done on .819 of one gallon! 47.40 mpg! 178% increase over 17 mpg! To confirm the mileage we tried it again on the way back to Carlsbad. We got caught in a 40 mph wind and spitting rain and had to slow down to 60-65 mph when before we were doing 70 mph. We filled up at McDonald's on Pierce. It took 1.13 gallon! 31.63 mpg! 84% increase over 17 mpg normal! That is how much of a difference it makes between the two runs when you are trying to run on hydrogen vapor! It's time to get ready for the Rally on Oct.7-8. Hope to see you there! Rick McKean

At the April 15-17 HHO Games in Bradenton, Dan debuted the ammonia-based electrolyte that uses the nitrogen in ammonia to bind with oxygen molecules so that the hydrogen output is far richer and leaner at a ratio of 11:1 hydrogen to oxygen instead of the standard 2:1 mix. Rick is getting ready for the Oct. 16, 2011, Pecos River Run where Richard Keough's new ammonia-based will also be introduced for the first time in a vehicle driven by Dan Merrick.

NEW KEOUGH 'SUPERFUEL' CELL USES AMMONIA AND STEEL ALLOY FOR RESULTS

4:38PM ET, Sept. 1, 2011 -- .

4:38PM ET, Sept. 1, 2011 -- We heard this afternoon from Richard Keough, the Venice, Fla.-based CEO of Moreco Energy, whose ammonia-based Superfuel, inspired by inventor Dan Merrick - who revealed it at our April 15-17 HHO Games - has been flying off the shelves to a global market. Now Keough, a 7-time vendor at the Games, has combined the electrolyte with a kit that resists corrosion with a special steel alloy.

Here is Richard's note on the developments:

Hi Joe: Today began a milestone in hydrogen fuel technology: The test of the new "Super Fuel" system cell. So far, all is going according to plan. As you may know, the ammonia electrolyte is very corrosive under power. So it became a necessity to create a new cell which could withstand any tendency to dissolve it. We tested a number of possible alloys, even lead. Lead was not a good choice. Titanium as a cathode tends to develop a conductive resistance in a short time so a titanium plate coated with platinum, and other rare and expensive metals looked good until we saw the price tag. At last we found what looks like the best compromise. It is an alloy high in nickel and chromium and it tested very well. Instead of rusting and turning dark brown it developed a golden color at the edges like an anodized steel plate. We have only run it for several hours but it is way ahead of anything else that is affordable. We intend to go into production in the next few weeks if all goes as well as expected. Best of all we expect to introduce the complete "Super Fuel" System for under $300.00. I am enclosing some files and pics. Thanks, Joe! Dick Keough

You'll get a chance to see the new Superfuel Cell when it debuts at the November 11-14 HHO Games. For more information, you can contact Richard at keough101@yahoo.com.

NEWSPAPER USED TO PRODUCE NOVEL BIOFUEL CALLED BUTANOL EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF 0₂ AT TULANE

11:40PM ET, August 30, 2011 -- Here's one way that old-fashioned newsprint beats the Internet. Tulane University scientists have discovered a novel bacterial strain, dubbed "TU-103," that can use paper to produce butanol, a biofuel that can serve as a substitute for gasoline. They are currently experimenting with old editions of the Times Picayune, New Orleans' venerable daily newspaper, with great success.

TU-103 is the first bacterial strain from nature that produces butanol directly from cellulose, an organic compound.

"Cellulose is found in all green plants, and is the most abundant organic material on earth, and converting it into butanol is the dream of many," said Harshad Velankar, a postdoctoral fellow in David Mullin's lab in Tulane's Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. "In the United States alone, at least 323 million tons of cellulosic materials that could be used to produce butanol are thrown out each year."

Mullin's lab first identified TU-103 in animal droppings, cultivated it and developed a method for using it to produce butanol. A patent is pending on the process.

"Most important about this discovery is TU-103's ability to produce butanol directly from cellulose," explained Mullin.

He added that TU-103 is the only known butanol-producing clostridial strain that can grow and produce butanol in the presence of oxygen, which kills other butanol-producing bacteria. Having to produce butanol in an oxygen-free space increases the costs of production.

As a biofuel, butanol is superior to ethanol (commonly produced from corn sugar) because it can readily fuel existing motor vehicles without any modifications to the engine, can be transported through existing fuel pipelines, is less corrosive, and contains more energy than ethanol, which would improve mileage.

"This discovery could reduce the cost to produce bio-butanol," said Mullin. "In addition to possible savings on the price per gallon, as a fuel, bio-butanol produced from cellulose would dramatically reduce carbon dioxide and smog emissions in comparison to gasoline, and have a positive impact on landfill waste."

WHAT ARE YOU DOING AFTER THE SHOW?

6:38AM, March 17, 2011 -- Aces Live Music Lounge is the coolest joint in Bradenton, located at 4343 Palma Sola Blvd. at Cortez Ave., out near Bradenton Beach.

It has live music every night of the week and fare that ranges from great pizza to finger foods. Aces has the feel of a Deep South roadhouse and R&B, rock, zydeco, funk and jazz bands - there were three last night, and they were all great!

We also recommend the Crabby Shack, where the young owner, Lacey, and husband John are serving some of the most delicious blackened grouper (and grilled if you prefer) we've ever tasted, seasoned to perfection. The $15 Grouper Dinner comes with a choice of 3 sides, including their own great-tasting deep-fried hush puppies and potato salad. And don't forget to ask Lacey for a cup of her signature clam showder. It's located at the very last driveway at left of the Cortez Bridge, by the big Parasail sign. Fishing and tourist charters, jet skis and other smaller watercraft are available to rent from John.
