I would like to throw out something on the net that I have been
wondering about for some time. A while back (my journal records
show April 6, 1979, to be precise) I was browsing thru some technical
paper or magazine and an article entitled "New mysterious fuel developed
in Florida" caught my eye. It went on to say that some company in Florida
had perfected a process which "combines hydrogen, chlorine, and light to
produce incredible amounts of energy" and went on to say that the
inventors did not fully understand the physics behind why it works. They
apparently understood it enough to power a small 3.5 horsepower engine
and claimed that they would have engines of a much higher power rating
working with this new fuel in "about 2 or 3 years". According to their
tests, they are creating 5 or 6 times the amount of energy that they are
putting into it. The only other process that does this is a nuclear
reaction, I believe. The company was called Solar Reactor Corp. of Miami
and I have not heard anything about it since. My question is whatever
happened to this new process, the company, and has anyone figured out
why it works (if indeed it does) and where could one read about it?
I am not a real physics whiz (else what would I be doing programming
computers?) but I really enjoy reading about it in books and in the
discussions on the net. If anyone has any information, please mail it
to me or if you feel it would be applicable to share it with everyone
else, please post it. If it is as truly an inovation as this article
suggests, it might be interesting to hash it around a bit.

                              Thanks for your time,
