Consulting – Answers to Questions
Nov 16th
The purpose of a consultant is to assist in an endeavor. The consultant provides answers, and if not a means to the answers. One person cannot know all the solutions, and therefore a third party consultant can be the crux in making progess or completing a project. I provide consulting services based on my education as an Electrical Engineer, and my personal endeavors and associations. I have worked with George Wiseman assembling common ducted electrolyzer, and have done several informal reasearch projects. One informal research project was done for Vulcan Capital Management, for their subsiduary Vulcan Amps. Vulcan has several coal fired which is a perfect application for Brown’s Gas. The gas produced by a common ducted electrolyzer can completely replace the natural gas or propane used to ignite the coal. Doing so can substantially reduce the natural resource requirements of the facility, while also achieving the benifits of using a hydrogen fuel rather than a carbon fuel.
One of the demonstrations I did for the facility’s staff was to burn coal with the 1200 Series electrolyzer designed by George Wiseman. The coal was consumed with a realitively while looking smoke being produced. I assume that this was a relatively efficient burn, at a relatively high tempature. The most notable observation was the heat produced, the white ash, the red coals, and the rate at which the coal was being consumed.
If I had access to a professional, laboratory grate gas chromatograph I would like to compare the smoke emissions of coal being burned by Brown’s Gas, versus coal being burned by propane or natural gas, versus coal burning via self ignition. No doubt the data would be different for each, what would the difference be? Whom has the money to pay for the tests? I can provide assistance, directions, and general consoluting on how the tests can be conducted. I would like to participate in such testing, and I would like to participate in the publication of the results in an applicable journal.
I would like to consult for various situations. I would like to do alot of research, but I would also like to consult for business.
This is Where I want to be

At first I though selling products was the way to go. In college I wanted to patent an idea, somehow miraculously manufacture it, and then subsequently sell it. The patent never went through, and I had no way to make my ideas. Ultimately I discovered a grassroots industry that is near fruition. Many companies around the world are utilizing various technology to increase efficiencies of old technologies. This is the future of clean coal technology, and the basics to the future of the energy industry. I quickly latched onto an existing company that has a vision. The vision involves a design for a product dating back 2-3 decades, and has improved significantly ever since. The current state of the product impressive, and will only get better with subsequent revisions. All that is needed is an industry to make it. I see no reason why things won’t progess as expected or as envisioned.
This industry involves material, the manufacturing of the materials into products, the sales and implementation of the product, the tech support and maintenance of the product. The product is “the electrolyzer”. An ancient technology that is not seen in society. It is not used in any readily noticeable way, nor can any particular current use be identified. Although any time fuel is being burned, an electrolyzer should be there; every vehicle, every power plant, every home with a furnace that burns fuel. Every location as such should have an electrolyzer present to produce hydrogen to enhance combustion.
Compare the envisioned industry to the cable television industry. The representative comes in with a cable box, installs it, connected it to the television, and configures the television to use the box. This is the same thing, a directly comparable industry that will emerge with electrolyzer. The tech will bring the device to the location, install it, and configure the existing device to use it. Then occasionally come back for maintenance of the device.
The products will be available, not by one company but by multitudes. You currently cannot go into Sears and purchase an off the shelf electrolyzer. They aren’t mass produced and really hard to find sometimes. Since electrolyzers date back over 100 years, its relatively strange to have taken this long to get a product onto shelves, but it is the case. Next to every piece of welding equipment in Sears should be an electrolyzer. The electrolyzer is a hydrogen torch. It is different, comparable, debatable if superior, cleaner, and ultimately powerful. Overall it is impressive, intriguing, and clearly viable. Independent of the phrase “if you make it they will come”, the electrolyzer will have demand. Even if there were no uses for the device they would still be purchase for purposes of intrigue “hmm this seems cool”. But since there are countless viable, and economically profitable uses the product will sell accordingly.
A new generation of welders, steel workers, and other metal fabricators will emerge. Using water and electricity the two cleanest substances on earth. If the electricity is produced from solar panels then the equipments is ultimately clean. Yes every existing welder, and steel worker have experience with existing equipment, but they will adapt and learn the next generation, the new status quot is inevitable.
