ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - One inventor is taking the concept of alterative fuels to the limits by filling up his car with Mountain Dew.

It's an invention aimed at making the world a cleaner place, and people are having fun with it.

In front of dozen onlookers, inventor Paul Patone showed people what a few drops of the popular soft drink could do in his invention.

It's called the Geet Sytstem. Basically, it's a fuel booster system that can connect to any engine.

Patone said the best part is that the Geet System creates zero pollution.

The engine isn't exactly full of soda pop. Patone said the complex pipe system vaporizes the fuel before it reaches the engine.

"I haven't invented the engine; all I've invented is the fuel delivery system. And this system will fit a gas engine, a diesel engine, a furnace, a boiler, it will fit anything including jet turbines," Patone said.

To make the engine run, some gas or diesel fuel has to be mixed with the soda.

You can download the system's plans for free at the Geet Web Site.

"Paul Pantone has invented the GEET Fuel Processor which you can run a car on 80% water or more. Paul has become a horrific example of inventor abuse by corrupt Utah officials and businessmen.

Paul Pantone is the ruthlessly persecuted inventor and developer of systematic experimental engines & generator modifications intended to double or triple gas mileage as they reduce greenhouse gasses & pollutants by over 90%.

Paul Pantone's energy efficiency system is called GEET (Global Environmental Energy Technology). Mr. Pantone has been developing it for 25 years.

When Pantone refused to sell out on his patents and technology, he was framed for securities fraud and railroaded to a mental ward at the Utah State Hospital in March of 2006 where he has been dying from intentional medical and caregiver neglect. Without significant public intervention, Pantone is likely to be dead within a year. Only a public outcry of support can save him. Your help can make a difference. "


How can people take this seriously?

I like mountain dew also, but I dont know if I could handle gas mountain dew.

Is there anything Mountain Dew can't do?

"during the first 20 minutes of burn-in time, the engine must be oriented so as the reaction chamber in which the exhaust is entering is facing magnetic North"


How can people not pick out the obvious quackery going on here? There is no alternative fuel mentioned, either. It's running on conventional gas or diesel, and some of that energy is being wasted by trying to burn water along with it.

This! :laugh:

Did this actually air on TV? It's like that stupid HHO gas thing on some FOX station.

I watched the video, and he says 'the soda doesn't actually reach the engine' and you need gasoline or diesel - so what's the point? So he essentially bolted on a pipe decoration on to an engine?

Edit: Agreed, Mountain Dew is excellent.

Anyone find and download the plans?

 

[boomerang]

He's probably bucking for a government grant. My guess is he'll get one.

I am sure that the scientific minds of the the military and NASA have NEVER considered such a system.

Only some no name from BFE could come up with such an invention.

double post

People will keep on falling for this stuff. A good chunk of the public is convinced that the car companies are stupid and any idiot off the street can build a car that will get double the mileage. When people don't fully understand something they often assume that it must be easy to do.

What does it matter if it works or not!!

MOUNTAIN DEW TO THE MOON BABY!!!

Should have used Mentos and Diet Coke instead. :shocked:

what we really need to be worrying about is the amount of energy lost in a conventional car. the efficiency is horrific

The most efficient biological engines are about 30% efficient. We could always do better, but sooner or later entropy is to blame.

A soda pop powered engine has already been done

They've been working on that. Some hybrids use an Atkinson cycle engine (4 stroke engine where the expansion stroke and compression stroke can be different lengths) which is more efficient. There are some issues with it though, while it is very efficient it is less powerful than a comparatively sized normal engine. This is why it has been pretty much limited to hybrids where the electric motor can make up for the less powerful engine.

How much does Mt Dew cost per gallon though?

If it doesnt have 9000 horsepower we DO NOT WANT in the U.S.

If it isnt 9000 hp then we need it to be as big as a battleship able to transport like 400 people at a time.

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me. Sugar water - vaporized or not - is the last thing I want to put into an engine. Why not just use regular water?

Steam injection is nothing new. I haven't read the article, but I bet thats all it is.

Bwhahahaha! That's gold.

It's not really even that, it's that it wouldn't even have enough power to do things like speed up fas enough to merge safely without growing the engine to the point where you lost most of the advantage. If you were going to size an atkinson cycle engine for short transient power requirements (merging, speeding up from a stop, etc) you'd end up with a larger engine than your normal engine, defeating most of the efficiency you gained.
