[edit] WP:CIVIL

You probably did not mean to but you have mistakenly posted a comment referring to a website saying it is mine.[1] Please stop doing this, making absolute inapprapriate and irrelevant comments on my person is not allowed. This is my first and final warning. Nomen NescioGnothi seauton 14:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

your talk page clearly says "Medicine on the Web my medical site"

<moved here from my talk page> Your profile clearly says "Medicine on the Web my medical site", the connotation is that this is "your medical website". If you do not want to give the impression that this is "my medical website" you should remove the "my" and change it to "a". "My medical website" leads a viewer to believe that this is your medical website which would constitute a conflict of interest on your part that should be brought up in the proper administrator channels for third party involvement. Noah Seidman 14:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

You misunderstand. Whatever I edit, or whatever website I have, or wherever I work is not relevant in the discussion page for medical literature. Neither is it relevant in the DRV on articles with which you have a COI. Please stop introducing my personal life in the debate. That is considered an ad hominem. Thank you. Nomen NescioGnothi seauton 14:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

<moved here from my page> Your accusation that I have misunderstood the statement on your Profile page is alarming; your rational to determine my COI based on my Profile page is valid, how cannot the exact same rational be used to make a determination about your Profile page?

Give the degree of emerging COI accusations, an attempt to resolve the situations is as follows: I move that if I recuse my edits on the HHO deletion review, and change my opinion to "endorse", you will support the re-creation of a valid, cited, sourced, Brown's Gas article consistent with the parameters of a Encyclopedic work. Noah Seidman 15:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Again you misunderstand the current situation.
  1. I do not have a commercial interest in any article I edit. By definition I can't have since I am a physician and simply never financially benefit from whatever wikipedia does. Even from aricles about medicine.
  2. Never did I object to the creation of an adequately sourced article on the subject of any gas you might want to. You must have missed my repeated inquiries into what scientific articles from reputable scientific journals that adhere to peer review there are discussing the topic. Either as hoax or as a real entity. In short, provide such a source and I will gladly support such an article. Nomen NescioGnothi seauton 15:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sigh

You do realize that, by contributing to the deletion discussion, you've made it much more likely that the articles stay deleted? Everyone knows that you have a conflict of interest. Of course this is not binding at all; choose as you wish, but I would personally like it if you stayed out of such discussions. — Omegatron 13:39, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oxyhydrogen

[[Image:Mileageincrease.png|thumb|I have questions regarding this table --Pjacobi (talk) 14:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)]]

I have added all the references I currently have access to. Whats on your mind? Noah Seidman (talk) 15:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you please give me some details notably missing and comment on issues I see (not necessaey tro give references for your opinions and observations, we are on a user talk page only).

  • General
    • To your knowledge, are the commeercially available oxyhydrogen car modifications using the standard alternator of the car or do they include replacing it with a non-standard (higher rated, higher effincency?) one?
    • Can you give typical values of power used for electrolysis in relation to motor power? Something like "on a 100kW motor, the electrolysis typically draws 80 A at 12 V, roughly 1kW)?
  • Specifically regarding the paper SAE Technical paper Series (2002-01-2196) from which the table at the right was drawn:
    • What's φh?
    • If φh is not the base efficency of the motor, what was the base efficency of the motor?
    • If φh is not the Hydrogen percentage in the fuel (0.24 looks much too high), what was the Hydrogen percentage in the fuel? Specify whether the number is by volume, by mass or by energy content
    • Can <ou specifically state, that the paper was about using hydrolised H2 or are these just the general figures for admixtured H2, coming e.g. from a second fuel tank?
    • Are you aware whether the paper got any citations, i.e. was mentioned as reference in other science or engineering publications?

--Pjacobi (talk) 14:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The alternator need not be replaced. A standard alternator produces up to 30 amps, which is more than enough current. 10 Amps is more than enough current.
In automotive application a well designed electrolyzer uses 12 Volts, and about 5-10 Amps. About 52-124 watts.
Regarding the journal article φh is the hydrogen equivalence ratio. The ratio of hydrogen to gasoline I believe. This is in energy content/mass.
The research was using a hydrogen reformer, which is a device designed to retrieve hydrogen components from gasoline rather than water.
I cannot specifically state much, it appears that I'm the only person purchasing and investigating these SAE articles. Noah Seidman (talk) 15:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
You have to read Houseman's article. It specifically says that the energy requirements for electrolysis are accounted for by the increase in overall engine efficiency. I'll add an appropriate citation as soon as a duplicate copy of the article comes in the mail.Noah Seidman (talk) 15:45, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hydrogen Reformer

Also note that the hydrogen reformer most likely requires electrical energy. Therefore because they reported a decrease in gas consumption, the energy requirements for the hydrogen reformer were well accounted for by the increase in engine efficiency associated with hydrogen fuel enhancement.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Lean limit extension.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lean limit extension.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

I will try and differentiate between minor and major a little better. Noah Seidman (talk) 04:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chat

Question: Isn't Brown's gas produced by electrolysis? (Answer: yes) Every source I can find suggests that electrolysis produces H2 and O2? (Answer: the sources are correct) I thought that monoatomic oxygen is very reactive and bonds immediately (Answer: I never mention monatomic anything; there is no credible evidence for such a claim)

I agree, I guess I dont understand the difference between Brown's Gas and a blend of h2 and o2 in an atomic ratio of 2-1. Also, sorry I forgot to sign questions... Will try to remember to do so... Guyonthesubway (talk) 20:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

(Answer) Brown's Gas is a name. It represents oxyhydrogen (2:1 hydrogen versus oxygen) made in a common ducted electrolyzer. Its the ducting of the electrolyzer that makes it different not the chemistry.

"So Brown's Gas is different than oxyydrogen; on a molecular level" because of the ducting? By ducting do you mean the ducts as in the 'pipes' that collect the gas? Guyonthesubway (talk) 12:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Its an assumption that Brown's Gas is different than oxyhydrogen on a molecular level. Aside from assumptions Brown's Gas is a name representing oxyhydrogen produced in the particular electrolyzer designed by Yull Brown. In a common ducted electrolyzer there is only 1 collection "pipe".

Why would the product differ depending on the capture mechanism? 02 is 02 and H2 is H2 right? As far as I understand it, both are stable gases. Guyonthesubway (talk) 22:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

The product doesn't differ. Oxyhydrogen is oxyhydrogen, and a common ducted electrolyzer just ensures an exact 2:1 proportioning. Brown's Gas is a name that represents oxyhydrogen gas production by common ducted electrolyzer design. Noah Seidman (talk) 03:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

So 'Brown's Gas' is simply very accurately mixed O2 and H2? 12.29.38.14 (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. Without laboratory equipment, and 3rd party analysis, no other conclusions can be rationalized. Noah Seidman (talk) 15:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


A distinction should be made between the name (Brown's Gas) and the potentially different behavior of oxyhydrogen depending on the conditions of combustion. Oxyhydrogen appears to either implode into liquid water, or explode into vapor depending on conditions; now if that oxyhydrogen were made in a common ducted electrolyzer it would be Brown's Gas. The way you phrase it in the article is spot on. Noah Seidman (talk) 04:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)



Question: Doesn't this simply prove that water has a higher density than Brown's gas? (Answer: I don't know what it proves; I merely find it interesting) Wouldn't the same thing happen given diatomic hydrogen and oxygen? (Answer: most likely) Didn't you make the claim on your user page that this is one "two tests I have conducted that prove Brown's Gas is slightly different than oxyhydrogen; on a molecular level."? What does this experiment show then? Guyonthesubway (talk) 22:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

The experiment was research, which requires subsequent investigation prior to making any firm conclusions. Overall what was observed was potentially different behavior of oxyhydrogen gas depending on combustion conditions; which is consistent with the original statement made in the 1911 Encyclopedia. If different combustion conditions cause oxyhydrogen to burn differently there may be viable applications for varying effects. Noah Seidman (talk) 03:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

You do make a strong conclusion there that "Brown's gas is different from oxyhydrogen", without showing the results of oxyhydrogen under the same conditions. Without that test, isn't it be hard to make any conclusion that the results would be different? 12.29.38.14 (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. The only rational difference is the design of the electrolyzer. Heres the breakdown; Yull Brown invented the common ducted electrolyzer, which produces oxyhydrogen. In recent years people have attached his name to the design calling the oxyhydrogen Brown's Gas instead. I try and not make firm conclusions to maintain rationality. The only rational statement to make, without access to lab equipment, is the design of the electrolyzer is different; minimizing the term Brown'gas Gas to a label or a kind of brand name. Noah Seidman (talk) 15:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

So then Brown's gas is -not- different on a molecular basis from oxyhydrogen? You've got me a bit confused now...12.29.38.14 (talk) 18:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

There is always room for research, but without more concrete evidence strong conclusions cannot be made. My research, and the research of others I still consider preliminary. I post some research to do on my website. Also many statements on my user page were outdated, and have been updated according. Noah Seidman (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
My current understanding is consistent with the 1911 encyclopedia; oxyhydrogen burns differently depending on conditions. If the gas is burning differently there should be associated distinction in chemistry respective to combustion conditions. Noah Seidman (talk) 18:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


Question: How is discussion of automotive uses of oxyhydrogen redundant? Its another application, and separate from Brown's gas and Aguygen which are specific examples of companies or production methods? Guyonthesubway (talk) 00:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Discussing automotive uses itself it not redundant, but electrolysis efficiency, and water fuel car scams attempts is already included in the article. I recommend wikilinking to hydrogen fuel enhancement to separate the topics. Noah Seidman (talk) 00:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
