Welcome! NEWPATH 4 New Answers & New Ways
I finally understand.
This nitrogen engine isn't just a story about ENGINES! It's the Uncle Remus Story all over again. (The footrace between Br'er Tortoise & Br'er Hare.)

http://more.abcnews.go.com/../dye15   [ABC cancels page]

It all started with L'il Abner and a man named Abe Hertzberg.

Abe read a L'il Abner cartoon once a long time ago, where the plot included a car that ran off its own pollution i.e.: smog!  That was where the seed was planted! Abe Hertzberg, named the same as Abe Lincoln no doubt by loving parents wishing to make life better for their new son by naming him after President Lincoln... or maybe just wanting to honor Mr. Lincoln of their new home America. Of course, these are suppositions... But the seed that was planted in A NEWSPAPER CARTOON was never forgotten;  eventually Professor Hertzberg got to work perfecting the idea that came to be dubbed the LN2000 liquid nitrogen-powered car.

At first his teams at the University of Washington had a tremendous start and the Race to topple the polluting gasoline engine was ON! The Department of Energy funded the team with $360,000 "seed money" and they was off! But they ran into some problems and stumbled in the race, while their competitors  -the gas, electric, gas/electric hybrids, hydrogens, fuel cell vehicles and anyone else-  raced by the fallen tortoiseAnd THEY LAUGHED WITH GLEE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT NOW  -NOWTHEY OWNED THE RACE !  Victory was theirs!
 
So who WAS Abe Hertzberg? I don't completely know, but in the article linked above he had Polio when young. And that's where I come into the picture and a bit of eerie irony begins to emerge into this story. As a young man I never got polio but I did have the "mumps" twice on both sides, which infections apparently altered my thyroid gland changing my life forever. For reasons not completely understood, Is it possible that having a serious childhood infection turns a child onto a different path? Is the entry of some viral invader a precursor of some kind? Does it transform a person somehow, turning them into a fighter who never gives up? I've read that Winston Churchill was weakly as a young man. Is this a valid pattern that the ones who get the weakest starts gain momentum if they survive... and never give up?
 
So the learned man encountered problems and fell, but the next generation (me) grabs his baton and his arm and the two struggle to regain their lead...  Who is going to win this race that has covered well over HALF A CENTURY ? That's the End of the Race;  I don't have that.  Not yet.  Not yet.
 
So now we know a lot more about the dynamics that have been unfolding here since July 12, 2003...  All the "hares" in the race are still working their darnedest to keep the "tortoises" from winning. They are pretty tough scrappers these rabbits. They own the football field AND the track (all the D.O.E. monies & support). They taste Victory because the D.O.E. withdrew its funding from the LN2000.

WILL THE LN2000 die hard ? They thought the fight was over. They thought we were finished. The fight is just beginning. Uhm, maybe "THEY" are Wrong.

And the funny thing is that I read the same cartoon.

Who first came up with the idea for the LN2000 nitrogen engine? Actually Dr. Hertzberg was not the first but he was the first to build one into a working prototype vehicle that actually runs. I have found evidence that the early auto makers looked at compressed air back around 1903. Tracing the full path has been difficult. It isn't a mistake that the early rigs hauling freight were first given 'air starters' not electric, nor a mistake that the big rigs today use air pressure to activate their braking systems. The only mistake I have found is that the automobile manufacturers deserted the findings of their very own early researchers in favor of using the much more plentiful crude oil supply! Apparently even then some of them realized that this Planet Earth wasn't just filled with oil for us to burn up, that the supplies were temporary and not infinite. Because of capitalism, people the world over now drive around rather than ride behind a stinky horse. That is the blessing. Yet capitalism has been a double edge blade because it was the competition that forced the car companies to abandon pursuit of clean energy from compressed air. Just like Mr. Tucker got run out of business. These pages that I have written may seem harsh and I suppose I have more or less attacked this subject with a religious vengeance and power. However, it is not my intent that some Board of Inquiry or Presidential Prosecutor try to sort all this out and begin some kind of Crusade. I think that what has happened HAD TO HAPPEN. We had to follow the easy road in order to see what the real road should have been. Besides, if we were to actually prosecute people back to the beginning of all this worldwide airborne pollution, cancers, and increasing birth defects, where would it STOP?! Justice would not be served until we tried in court the inventor of the wheel whose name seems to have been lost, so if we can't prosecute the first person involved we can't rightly -legally- try the rest. All we can do is forgive and forget and enjoy our new superior knowledge. Some might ask why I have seen the folly so clearly while many learned people have not. I'd like to answer that. I was raised as a Christian to believe that God made Adam, giving him 'everything he needed'. Most people have interpreted that to mean everything as in Matter, like clothing and plants, the animals, water. I expanded on that to include ENERGY. Finding health through the use of home hyperbarics and limitless energy from lightning and nitrogen/compressed air and all my other inventions has been a happy experience. It is my continued Hope that many of you who have been taught differently than I -to believe in a Creator who cares about us- can now find a large amount of Time on your hands and will use that to find the God I found. If, when, and once these cars are designed & built to use the swinging weight of the car body to press on pistons that give your car free energy to run with NO pollution, we will ALL BE FREED of the yoke around our neck that pressures us and squeezes us of every minute's peace. Take those precious recovered minutes to read the Bible, investigate God, discover His Plan to bring everlasting life to Mankind that Adam lost. No new engine can bring that.

Many of the big environmental groups even oppose the liquid nitrogen engine because they are all amassing massive fortunes...
