Murder or Self Defense, You Decide

On July 15th 2010 Cortez Waller fatally shot Christopher Childress outside the Conway Police Department in Conway, Arkansas. Waller and Childress’ fiancee, DeRanda Carter, recently had a relationship that ended some time prior to the shooting. Carter testified that the couple was trying to get past the affair but other testimony showed that Childress threatened and harassed Waller for several days. This concerned Waller enough for him to purchase a firearm to defend himself should Childress look to follow through with the threats.

Waller testified that on the day of the shooting he was just coming back into town after looking for a new place to live when he was spotted by Childress, Carter, and their 3 children in their SUV. Childress proceeded to chase Waller to the police station where the fatal altercation shown in this video took place.  Waller shot and killed Childress during the altercation in the police station’s Front Street parking lot. Waller testified that he thought Childress was about to make good on the threats that were made and he feared he would be killed if he didn’t stop the attack. Immediately after the shooting Waller ran into the station and turned himself into police. Childress was transported to Conway Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.

Initially Waller was charged with first degree murder and aggravated assault following this shooting, the charges was later reduced to second degree murder and aggravated assault right before the trial began. The newly elected prosecutor, Cody Hiland, didn’t believe the evidence supported the first degree charge.

After hearing all the testimony and deliberating for 9 hours the jury came back with the verdict of Not Guilty on all charges. For more information visit http://tinyurl.com/d76qu2s

Arkansas' self defense law is based on the person's reasonable belief that they or a third party are about to become a victim of the unlawful use of force committed by another. If they believe they or the third party is about to be seriously injured or killed then deadly force can be used in their defense. The law is based on force, not weapon usage, and the person can use greater force if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent the pending harm.

This shooting was justified under this Arkansas Law:

5-2-606.  Use of physical force in defense of a person.
(a)  (1) A person is justified in using physical force upon another person to defend himself or herself or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by that other person, and the person may use a degree of force that he or she reasonably believes to be necessary.

(2) However, the person may not use deadly physical force except as provided in § 5-2-607.

(b) A person is not justified in using physical force upon another person if:

  (1) With purpose to cause physical injury or death to the other person, the person provokes the use of unlawful physical force by the other person;

(2)  (A)  The person is the initial aggressor.

(B) However, the initial aggressor's use of physical force upon another person is justifiable if:

(i) The initial aggressor in good faith withdraws from the encounter and effectively communicates to the other person his or her purpose to withdraw from the encounter; and

(ii) The other person continues or threatens to continue the use of unlawful physical force; or

Lies are being told about HHO and the advantages it gives when mixed with HC fuels. Visit this video [link] and you will see falsified emission test results done by YouTube users Silverados1500 published by HHOinfo. The files were on an anti-HHO propaganda site, HHOinfo.info, but have since been removed. They are still available through google's cache page at: [link]

To to compound the lies told by these two individuals have repeatedly denied changing the files. Silverados1500, whose real name is Jerry Singleton, has accused me of tampering with the files on their site! The links these two will go to discredit HHO is unbelievable. If you get a chance to visit my video and let these idiots know how you feel about their lies...

Emissions testing showing skewed results designed to invalid the benefits of H2 added to gasoline. The only way to get more unburned hydrocarbons and increased CO levels is to run a rich fuel mix. Naturally the poster of these "test results" says this proves HHO cannot increase MPG. Scams are not only present in he HHO community they also are done by the naysayers...

ICE efficiency map

Here's an efficiency map for a motor vehicle courtesy of fueleconomy.gov

Listed below are losses described in detail. Notice that the Accessory category includes the A/C compressor, Power Steering Pump, Water pump, and the Alternator. An additional load on the system from electrolysis is really small in the scope of things.

Idling Losses – 17.2%

In urban driving, significant energy is lost to idling at stop lights or in traffic. Technologies such as integrated starter/generator (ISG) systems help reduce these losses by automatically turning the engine off when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarting it instantaneously when the accelerator is pressed.

Accessories – 2.2%

Air conditioning, power steering, windshield wipers, and other accessories use energy generated from the engine. Fuel economy improvements of up to 1% may be achievable with more efficient alternator systems and power steering pumps.

Engine Losses – 62.4%

In gasoline-powered vehicles, over 62% of the fuel's energy is lost in the internal combustion engine (ICE). ICE engines are very inefficient at converting the fuel's chemical energy to mechanical energy, losing energy to engine friction, pumping air into and out of the engine, and wasted heat.

Advanced engine technologies such as variable valve timing and lift, turbo charging, direct fuel injection, and cylinder deactivation can be used to reduce these losses.

In addition, diesels are about 30-35% more efficient than gasoline engines, and new advances in diesel technologies and fuels are making these vehicles more attractive.

Driveline Losses – 5.6%

Energy is lost in the transmission and other parts of the driveline. Technologies, such as automated manual transmission (AMT) and continuously, are being developed to reduce these losses.

Overcoming Inertia; Braking Losses– 5.8%

To move forward, a vehicle's drive train must provide enough energy to overcome the vehicle's inertia, which is directly related to its weight. The less a vehicle weighs, the less energy it takes to move it. Weight can be reduced by using lightweight materials and lighter-weight technologies (e.g., automated weigh less than conventional automatics).

In addition, any time you use your brakes, energy initially used to overcome inertia is lost.

But the addition of HHO to the system has the potential for gains greater than the losses associated with electrolysis because of H2 allows you to lean out the gasoline A/F ratio.

1-29-10 - HHO can work rebuttal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvJdnpxKJks

Ok this thread has gotten so fractured by all the name calling and other crap that is has become easy to miss something. And the 500 character limit is hard to make clear points. So I wrote this blog entry to try and catch up.

ES2008: NASA showed flame speed improvement with the 231 g/hr too. They also showed an improvement in TE as well. You even posted a quote stating they got a 10 percent fuel enrichment using 231 g/hr. How else do you explain this increase if not for an increase in FS and TE.

In the Popular Mechanics article the guy says he tested all kinds of units that gave up to 1 LPM this is even less than what Silverado says is average.

A1mint is a funny dude…

HHOinfo: In many document places H2 added to gasoline allows for leaner burns and higher compression ratios. It’s just a matter of adding enough H2.

Sliverados1500: The geneset tests were made to show different aspects of HHO.
Here are the reasons that are given to prove HHO cannot work.

1) HHO takes more energy to make than it gives back to the system.

Smack tests he posted a 6 % gain in run time using HHO AND the load required to make it.

Rebuttal: the test is not valid because it was a portable generator and they are not comparable to automobile engines.

But from an energy stand point the energy used to make the HHO was made by the engine and it the engine still ran longer with the same EGT.

2) HHO is an ant fart compared to the BTU energy available in gasoline.

Scarecrow ran his generator on HHO alone on 3 times less BTU per hour compared to the rated gasoline usage.

Rebuttal: the test is not valid because it was a portable generator and they are not comparable to automobile engines.

But from a BTU stand point this test shows that the other factors of increased flame speed and lean burn range are more relevant to engine production than BTU values. An example of this in methanol, it has energy value is only 19.7 MJ/kg but it is used as a racing fuel because it can give more power to the engine through higher compression ratios. Measuring engine output in BTU is wrong and misleading.

3) Just because some in the HHO community believe that gains are possible but they have not seen them yet does not mean it cannot work.

To All: The bottom line here is that all of your arguments against HHO are not proof that it cannot possibly work and that it will never work. These are just your theories and opinions. Again, I have seen it work, I’ve done the math and see that it is possible. I believe those positive dyno tests results are correct.

40+ MPG project

With the gas prices as high as they have been this year who would want to improve the gas mileage. For the past couple of years I’ve been looking into ways I could do just that with my old 1994 Ford Ranger. Now I’ve had this POS (term of endearment) 2.3L 4-banger Ranger since it was new. And I’m proud to say that I’ve put all of the 260,000+ miles on it. Now that it’s thoroughly broke in, LOL, it is now my project vehicle. My goal is to get over 40 MPG in with it. First a little background information.

Over the years it’s been a good truck that hasn’t had a major problem with it until about a year ago when it started, on occasion, missing really bad. Since it was an occasional problem I know it had to be a problem with the ignition so I replaced the coil packs, sparkplugs, and sparkplug wires. This helped it a little but the problem was still happening. One night after a very long day at work it started missing more than it ever had before and I barely made it home. Once I got there I notice an orange glow from under the truck, it was my catalytic converter and it was red hot!!! Now it was time to take to a repair shop.

The mechanic at the shop tells me that I did indeed have a ignition problem and at the time of his test it was only firing on 2 cylinders. Turns out I needed a new ICM, catalytic converter, and O2 sensor. I thought this would be a great opportunity to do some testing on my theories of better MPG so I just had the ICM replaced. Actually the shop wanted too much for a catalytic converter so I bought one online and replaced it myself.

Over the next 40+ weeks I tested my MPG by charting my total miles driven and the total gas used, noting changes I did along the way. I discovered my mileage after 14 tanks with the O2 sensor burned out averaged 22.41 MPG; my mileage after 14 tanks with a new O2 sensor averaged 23.01 MPG; and my mileage after 14 tanks after I modified my air intake averaged 23.92 MPG.

You can see my CAI modification at:

And my mileage data at:
http://www.neosbiosphere.com/project/mileage.htm

Now the next step will be to lean out the gasoline and add Hydrogen (H2) or possibly Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2). It should be interesting to see what my mileage will be. Incidentally I could hardly believe the increase in power and responsiveness of my truck after doing my CAI mod. I can’t wait to see what adding H2 will do to the overall power of the truck. With any luck, and lot of trial and error, I should be able to reach my 40 MPG goal.
