Who has has seen the best way to convert car to alternative fuel or more MPG?

If possible you may want to try getting a diesel. Call a few oil change shops or transmission shops and see what they do with their waste oil. Unlike vegetable oil, waste motor oil only needs to be filtered and there are more btu's per gallon of waste motor oil than vegetable oil, gasoline, or diesel. Better yet it's cheap, if not, free.

And as for Tesla, Tesla was a very intelligent and accomplished engineer, but if researched it is found most of the things he "invented' were already around, try checking out http://www.lindsaybks.com/gallery/teslamyth/ttesla1.html

Our 1979 Mercedes diesel went from about 25 mpg to 34 mpg.
I won't argue with anyone whether it works or not. We have one, we know.
We also can run it on used fry oil.
I am ordering an oil press to make my own "gas" from sunflower seeds if needed. (I was very excited to find this site: http://www.piteba.com/eng/index_eng.htm)
Liberate yourself!

I went to New Jersey to here what Dennis Lee had to say, you can googe his name, he has videos under google video. He has had mixed reviews. He seems to not be able to make dead lines. However I know what its like when the government ambushes you- it make it impossible to make deadlines.
Anyway, I sat through a full days seminar, and this technology was discussed in great detial. I am not mechanicle at all.
It sounds like putting this technology on your car is easy, the hard part is getting around the computer. The computer will read your o2 sensor and reset after a couple tanks of gas. What Dennis Lees company has done is made a computer chip that will make your car computer work with the system. I was told it takes someone who can toon the car too, this is supposed to be a difficult task.
Ford motor company is researching this technology, they were supposed to be concluded bu October 1st, I havent heard any updates, im on the emailing list.
I signed a non disclosure so i am not able to discuss all the things I saw. According to what I saw it appears we can do significantly better than what the auto manufactures are doing now.
I dont know to much about the mechanicles, but I have had many discussions with the mechanics and installers.
I have no idea how this will work for me, I drive a 1998 ford expidition and love a big truck, I purchased this kit from Dennis Less company, a local dealership here in MN and going to have it installed in my truck hopefully early november, it was scheduled for installation 10-4-2008 but I let a state rep go in my place. Im planning on having a camera crew come out and video tape it. I will post the video once its done and we will see what happens.

Make your own ethanol for about a dollar a gallon:

Free plans for a proven HHO generator:

Make your own biodeisel:

All these are proven technologies that can be implemented right now with no new or experimental technology needed. Although people are constantly experimenting with improvement these are working and practical right now.

Get Prepared!

go to walmart. they have stainless steel flour containers with a acrylic top with a gasket for $12, get one that will hold about 5 pounds of flour. The dollar tree, or bed bath and beyond will have stainless steel pot scrubbers, you need 4. home depot has stainless steel threaded rod, get a foot or so and pick up some stainless steel nuts and bolts (1/4-20 or same thread as the rod) and some plastic tubing and 2 brass fittings, threaded on one end and sized to accept the tubing on the other, and about 30 feet of 14ga wire. Pick up a 30 amp switch with inline fuse and an amp gauge from an auto parts store. all told this should cost about $30- 40.
drill a hole in the middle of the acrylic top to TIGHTLY fit the threaded rod and another for one brass fitting. Run the wire through the firewall and connect in series with the switch and ampmeter and connect to a fuse that is only on when the key is on. Drill a hole on your air cleaner for the other brass fitting, OR find a good vacuum line. The closer to the cylinders the better.
Screw the threaded rod through the top. leave some space from the bottom so it doesn't short. wrap the pot scrubbers around the rod, make sure they don't touch the container. install the tubing, ground the outside of the container to the battery. Fill 2/3 with water, add a few drops of potassium hydroxyide (drain cleaner - home depot) and start the car. the ampmeter needs to read 5 - 20 amps. more acid = more amps

My results were 50% improvement, or 10 miles per gallon in a mini-van.
spread the word.

Here's a page that will tell you how to increase your mileage up to 50% without converting to alternative fuels (other than adding some acetone and xylene to your gas):

Also do a search for "side gapping" your spark plugs, or finding off the shelf plugs that offer similar benefits.

A combination of natural gas and HHO sounds promising. Has anyone tried it?

I have a fully electric car, and a segway human transporter. I love them both, Segway more then the car. Electric cars are still limited. They don't go up hills very well unless it's capable of unloading tons of battery power which gives you less range. I'm sure the Tesla is awesome, but 100k is not exactly saving money.

Also, I only get 25,000 miles out of $4000 worth in batterys.
Not very siked about that. And I can't go on high ways or long trips.

Thanks for all the great resources supplied by everyone. Boy - this stuff is way over my head.

Tons of links about free energy, will be posted soon.

Dr. Paul shot me good, this time around.

you will need some stuff.
There are forums for it, I got some schematics, email me if you want them, They are pdf files i think. email : ramnailz@cox.net

No gas used at all. Unless you ate taco bell the night before

if you don't need to go very fast or far, and can live with the current technology for battery life.

Your fuel is a constantly available resource, if you use solar power generation.

However, i would be the first to admit that this is not a mature technology for today's highway driving needs.
But, it would be very sustainable for an infrequent use vehicle that just needed to travel less than 20 miles at less than 40mph. Such as for "post economic crash" uses.

An easy way to get into it would be as simple as an electric golf cart with some solar panels attached to the surrey-top roof.
Not fast, but it would get you there and back, and you don't have to rely on anybody else for the fuel.
