I guess he was looking at the green lights at the next junction, but actually they had been green for a while already, not like they just changed to green. Thought I was about to witness a tragedy when I saw the motorcyclist approaching at speed.

Firstly, some chemistry should you all forget everything from school. Those who have not been to school, I'm your teacher today. Learn. Water is made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Hence H2O. They way they are covalently bonded is in an angle. The H are 60 deg between them and 300 deg on the other. This bond is very stable. Nothng can break it easily. Passing an electric current will not even break them apart. Why is it so difficult? What is so stable cannot be made unstable easily. All these three atoms forming the water molecule is very stable electrically. An equilibrium state that is unmatched for a common substance. The electrons from hydrogen allow the oxygen to be more or less neutral. Electrons on the hydrogen travel so fast around it that it also makes the hydrogen more or less neutral as well. The net effect is a tiny "delta" charge. Oxygen has a tiny delta negative and the hydrogens have a tiny delta positive. This by itself also lends stability to water. A water molecule forms "loose" hydrogen bonds (electron induced attraction forces) with another water molecule. The delta negative from oxygen attracting to the delta positive of the hydrogen. BTW, it is the hydrogen that is donating its charge to the oxygen. So there is a 3 dimensional charge network in liquid water. This is stronger when you freeze water and this attraction charge pulls them all together which makes ice very hard. This charge difference also makes water a solvent. These delta charges enables it to "dissolve" salt which is NaCl. Water pulls these apart using its delta charges to dissolve ionic substance. So you cannot separate water to its individual components for combustion. HHO is basically water vapor. You are actually doing water injection into cars. To separate water into its atomic components of hydrogen and water, you need electrolysis. Then hydrogen combustion is fraught with a lot of engineering problems as well for gasoline powered ICE. Not a problem for diesel ICE. Why? Diesel burns very slow. Ignited by detonation of air/fuel. It is precisely this problem that makes it a good candidate for hydrogen or propane injection. Now there is even CNG injection. That is why diesel ICE can go for dual fuel systems and opposed to bifuel for gasoline ICE. In dual fuel mode with hydrogen, propane or CNG, the burn is faster, harder and you get more power and better fuel economy. Gasoline ICE is different. We don't want fast. We want slow. Detonation is good for diesel but bad for gasoline. Remember, high octane fuel burns slow. You add hydrogen to gasoline and you make it quicker......badaboom! Back in the 80s, there was a hydrogen as ICE fuel documentary. The engineers got a huge problem and they have to solve it with water injectionn to eliminate the knocking. Yes, the same method used by methanol racers and even the siao turbo enthusiasts today. In short all you peole here. Don't do what you don't understand. Concluding: 1. Water as a fuel is a scam because HHO is basically water vapor. You are just doing water injection. 2. To separate water to hydrogen and oxygen gas, you need electrolysis. Lots of pressure, power, everything. If you see videos of HHO systems, you will see there is no connection to the battery. Scam! 3. To use hydrogen as a combustive fuel runs counter to everything a gasoline ICE needs. If you have a diesel, great for you.

Hi Guys, 1. Do you think a lai uncle like me can master a musical instrument like Guitar? This California dreaming has so much influence on me that I wanted to learn how to play guitar. Any recommendations on which muscial school to go for so that I can learn how to play this song as the soonest possible route? 2. How much do I expect to pay for a guitar or music lesson? Just want to have a feel. Wish me success! Thank you very much. Oops...didn't realize I post this one in the wrong place...so sorry . Regards,

Singapore Dreaming Wins Best Asian/Middle Eastern Film Award in Tokyo! Posted by Big cxxk on Sunday, October 28, 2007 (8 reads) Topic: Community Announcements Seow leow! We just learned that our film Singapore Dreaming has just become the first ever Singapore film to win the Best Asian/Middle Eastern Film Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival! This is a huuuuuge deal! We couldn't be at the awards ceremony as we had to be in Washington DC, where the film was the closing film at the Smithsonian Institution's US ASEAN Film Festival. Thankfully, Alice Lim (who played 'Ma' in the film)'s daughter is stationed in Tokyo and could accept the award on our behalf. That's her above... we think she's so glam, she should represent us at all awards ceremonies from now on! Thank you, Tokyo jury! Thank you, TIFF! Thank you, audiences! Thank you, investors, actors, crew, distributors, sales agent and everyone who helped make our dream come true! Now, in celebration, we shall tuang the next couple of days' update and go and whack some Nigiri Set 'A'... Sorry hor. Hope you understand... ---
