Eddie Murphy & Central Alberta Farmer Create Environmentally Friendly Farm

Soaring Fuel Prices Bring New Opportunities For Farmers, And That’s No Bull

With fuel prices at all time highs, many are looking at new ways to produce energy in an environmentally friendly way. One Central Alberta farmer has tackled the problem with a different angle than most.He isn’t interested in hydrogen or hho, he’s after methane gas.

Since Greenpeace successfully fought for equal working rights for cattle, no one has stepped forward to provide the bovine community with the employment opportunities it needs. Hundreds of steers and cows remain unemployed and stand about in their pastures dejectedly while the bulls get full time jobs. Mr. Jones has capitalized on the availability of bovine labour, offering the desperate animals positions in the new methane production plant at his Condor Area farm.

The Jones Ranch is located near Withrow, Alberta in the Horseguard Valley. Robert Jones had a traditional farm operation, but has decided to take a leap into the future with his new barns. A sealed, non-smoking environment was necessary for methane capture. Robert’s long time friend, Eddie Murphy, helped with construction costs as part of his mission to save the environment. Since studies have shown that cows produce environment-ruining methane gas, Robert and Eddie came up with a plan to capture these gases and use them for fuel. Mr. Jones has modified his house furnace and one tractor to run on the new fuel, and hopes that soon his ranch will be a net zero emissions producer.

The animals have a good benefit package, which includes free food in large quantities, free lodging, state of the art waste removal services and a modest yet competitive wage. They seem happy at their jobs, which entail eating, digesting the food, and passing gas. Mr. Jones provides a comprehensive health care plan with weekly checkups and medication personally administered by Robert himself as required. In some cases a specialist will be called in from the local veterinary service. “ I have relatives working in the bean and cabbage industries,” Robert admits. “ I get a pretty good deal on meals for my new workers. Things have been running pretty smoothly. The methane gas we capture here is sold to Atco to be shipped to the states for distribution. The manure goes back to the bean and cabbage fields as fertilizer. I’m glad that I am making such a difference to the lives of so many Canadian citizens, bovine or human.”

HHO Hydrogen Generators & Safety | Good Electrical Connections Reduce Explosion Hazards

If you saw my other post on HHO hydrogen generators, you know we like to build our own homemade fuel cells. This stuff isn’t rocket surgery, folks. Even us rural Alberta rednecks can make a functioning HHO hydrogen generator from common hardware store items. Having said that, there is the potential to make a dangerous explosive device by accident. In fact, we did make an explosion accidentally. It happened in Aron’s house, on the kitchen table. The generator we built was working great, until it exploded and blew both ends off the housing. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and only the generator was damaged.
What we think happened was that a loose connection inside the unit made a spark, which ignited the hydrogen. Since then, we have modified our design to contain no connections of any kind inside. The anodes are one solid piece of material from the outside all the way to the end inside.
You can find lots of links to hydrogen generators,where you can get plans for them and even finished units at HHO Hydrogen Fuel Cell Generators. I have also started building a new website to put all of our HHO hydrogen exploits.

Fun With Hydrogen: HHO Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Generators

Everybody knows that rednecks love explosions and do it yourself projects that use potentially explosive substances. Another thing rednecks enjoy is cars and trucks that make a lot of noise, or that have been modified. What better way for us Alberta Rednecks to spend our time than combining our hobbies?
I already know what you think you are going to see! Sorry to disappoint you, we didn’t blow up a truck. What we did was build an HHO fuel cell, then hook it to the truck to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions.
Everyone these days is concerned with the price of fuel. I don’t know what it costs in the US right now, but in Canada it is $1.15 a litre and up. Theoretically, by attaching an HHO hydrogen generator to your vehicle you can make the fuel burn more evenly and more completely. This will increase your miles per gallon.
What we show in this video:
1. our fuel cell submersed in pure water, hooked up to 2 amps DC producing hydrogen and oxygen (one hydrogen to two oxygen, an explosive air fuel mixture)
2. our hydrogen generator in it’s case, producing HHO which is captured in a jar underwater to measure output per minute
3. the HHO fuel cell producing a hydrogen oxygen mixture that is bubbled into soapy water. The bubbles are collected and lit, producing a loud bang. And it is really loud! I mean shake your head earsplitting from only a small amount. The force contained in hydrogen is huge.
4. the hydrogen fuel cell producing, and the hose attached to a Ford half ton. Not the newest vehicle we have available. We are still in the testing stage so expendable motors first!
Warning : if you are going to try this at home, be very careful! One of our first hydrogen generators worked great for several trials. It exploded inside my partner’s house when he was testing it, and he said he was lucky to still have windows or eardrums afterwards. The water level was too low, exposing the wires. A loose connection inside the HHO fuel cell caused a spark, and as I mentioned before the hydrogen generator creates an explosive gas mixture. We have since corrected the design flaw.
If you are going to hook one of these up to your car, make sure you understand the process first. Or, use a vehicle that you don’t need to get you to work!Check out this link if you would like to learn more about HHO hydrogen generators and fuel cells and what other are building.
