I've heard about and seen this before. I believe it was in some documentary about free energy.
I'm curious how the rest of the world will react on this. Will they debunk it and discredit the scientists that worked on it?
I hope not.

Cheers for posting.

Interesting stuff.

Hopefully the techniques can be refined (no pun) and we can all make our own fuels from garden and kitchen waste instead of it going to landfill.

Interesting Stuff It just makes me wonder if we would ever use such a system. We have had a few successful Biofuels, but nothing has seems to be developed after.

some folks would use it, others would say its too much hassle to actually make and have your own fuel for free.

Besides, you think that the oil sheiks are gonna let people make their own gas for free?

Interesting detail is that the artificial crude oil can be processed in a common refineries. They process organic waste into an oily substance by pyrolysis and add hydrogen to it and after that it can be treated in a refinery.

Why would they hide it? Do you know how much a company could make with this technology if it were cost effective? TONS. Any of the fuel myths you've heard about the electric car, etc etc is total crap. None of them have worked as of yet because none of them are as cheap as oil for the consumer and the producer.
