Gotta love conspiracies, they make for great reading and there is usually a few verifiable truth's in the mix to keep us hooked. The issue these days is that information can no longer be controlled the way it was 20 years ago and the dissemination of information via the internet means that no leaked secret will remain secret. I remember looking at alternative fuels 10 or so years ago and stumbling across a mention of Hydrogen breeder canisters on a conspiracy site so I followed the link, found the plans and made one despite the promise of MiB coming to take me away I published the results on a now defunct Delphi group. My project was an SUV with a 225 cubic inch V8 and I ended up running 8 breeder canisters which cut my fuel consumption down by between 40 and 60%, Still no MiB knocking on my door or blackhawks buzzing my rural property......... I then published my findings stating that although the system worked you needed massive amounts of current from your alternator to make the canisters work and that the 2 x 120 amp alternators I was using to power the canisters actually drew more than 30% of the engines output just to run the canisters power source and sorta cancelled out a lot of the benefits of running a water powered car. Suddenly Id been "bought" by the oil companies (I WISH) and the hard core "enthusiasts" were reporting strange bumps in the night and their workshops being burnt down, then to top it all off rumours started that one guy had been abducted and wasn't to be found anywhere........ Turns out he was in hospital recovering from Alcohol poisoning, and one of the workshop fires had been caused by a ciggie butt in sawdust but I was still a tool of the oil companies and in league with the devil it seemed so i gave up on the Hydrogen fuel cells and went LPG instead lol What amazed me was the way these peoples minds worked and allowing for any cultural divide seeing as the forum was populated by Americans, English, Irish, a few Scot's and me being the token Aussie so either I was the odd man out (And yes im pretty "Odd") but sheesh ya couldnt win no matter what the evidence was. So, if conspiricies do end up being proven to be true? The waters will still be clouded by nutjobs and fruitcakes.
