Doc,

Don't you believe in MAGIC?

It's been BS so far. I added some more.

nope, not a bit, but if you are going to rake in all the money on the blinker fluid, then I want a cut...I still use the manuel blinkers 'cause I'm too tight to buy any...dambness thing though, I keep pickin' bugs off my arm...go figure....Doc

I had heard you were tight but I assumed it was a reference to your tastes in Single Malts.

If you can't afford Blinky Blinker fluid, I'm sure there is a Government subsidy program available but it is unlikely you will qualify as you have a job.

Good. 'Cause Chuck 65 has ordered some and we are processing his order fro BS Blinky Blinker fluid.

Chuck, we have ordered your Fluid for Left and Right turns. There will also be a small supply of Omni directional fluid. As this water comes from the Colorado Verde river, it contains BS contributions from both sides of the political arena. Therefore formulation was a simple matter of removing the filter elements when we filled the bottles.

We discovered when doing this that there was so much BS in the water that we could no longer fit it into the 1 oz size. As a result, we will not be offering the "pocket size" BS in the future. All product will come in 16.9 OZ bottles to accomodate the demands of the French.

The formulations for the 40 wt fluid is a little slippery. We have brought in experts to help us formulate the stuff into a palatable product. Being an oily, unclear and unreliable product we have enlisted the talents from former staff members of the Clinton, Kerry and Perot campaigns. We respectfuly rejected advice from the current Bush administration as we wanted the product to have some credibility.

While none of these experts will actually improve the final product, we are assured that after sending them large amounts of our capital, our customers will believe in the BS component.

Please do not attempt to order from the web site as we are currently upgrading with an electric super charger and are still searching for Eco friendly batteries.

More later

I believe in MAGIC!! EXXON! OPEC! UAE! And anyone else that can make 29 cent a gallon gas go to over $4.00 a gallon in less than 60 years.
I also believe in 2 1/2 ton cars getting more than 100MPG while the inventions get buried along with the inventor. Skeptical? Non-believers? Use your GOOGLE to read about a high school drop-out from El Paso, TX by the name of TOM OGLE!!!! http://www.kvia.com/Global/story.asp?S=4137051
If that kid could get 100MPG+ out of a 1970 351CID Ford, why can't we get 300 HP+ and 50MPG from a 3.2L (192CID) engine?

And Cold Fusion has been secretly buried next to the Arc Of the Covenant in a DC basement.
right next to the bottle of pills that turn water into a fuel compatable with N/A piston engines.

Right now, there is a huge demand for a fuel efficient power source. Not huge...HUGE! No conspiricy by the auto companies or by the oil companies could or would hold it back. There is simply too much demand for the product. And plenty of residual demand for oil, which we all know will eventually be either depleted or economically unsound to produce.

The first Telegraph beat out the pony express letter carrier
The first telephone out of the box beat the previous technology.
The first diesel engine beat out Steam
The first gasoline engine beat out diesel.
The first workable PC beat out the mainframe

YET
All of those technologies that were beaten still exist in marketable forms today.

If somebody has the magic decoder ring on a new fuel source or a new fuel economizing technology, someone will bring it to an eager market.

SHAZAAM Franc. Put on you Mickey Mouse Security Badge and go visit Sandia Labs or better yet, just go to Los Alamos, they don't have any security at all. You know the chnology is there, it's the $$$$ that are not being applied in the right areas. Mr Green Genes worried about global warming, and yet I hear no talk about increasing R factors in home building, nor do I hear much in the way of utilizing PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY. Isuspect from your numerous replies in many areas the you are a well educated highly intelligent man, but negativism begets negativism. The world is round, and what goes around comes around. Unless we (humans) figure out how to destroy water, there will be the same amount of water in a Zillion years on the planet as there was a zillion years ago.

I appreciate the compliment. Thank you. I'm not really that intelligent, just old.

With regard to your assumption about water perhaps you need to research the origins of the planet. H2O wasn't always here.

I'm simply saying that our government and our industry can't keep even the most significant of secrets. Nuclear power and subsequent proliferation of the Bomb is proof of that. There is too much money to be made with a new technology and plenty of consumers stuck with the old technologies to provide any economic motivation for hoarding or hiding a breakthrough.

Simple economics of the capitalistic system. Somebody's gonna tell.
Personal experience with patents and proprietary technologies proves my thesis here. Aside from mine, the stories are endless.

With all due respect, I suggest you take the aluminum foil off your head and check it out.

BTW There is plenty of info about insulation and passive solar power, Also geo thermal and most is extremely simple and cheap. Used some of the technologies when I built my house, others in my factory. It's out there and you don't have to look hard.

Correction, FTroopChief. Los Alamos has plenty of security. The gateguards have AR15's and the emergency crews run MP5's. The same security details run the tri-lab force. Just because they don't gun you down doesn't mean that they can't.

Things changed after 9/11, and are even tighter now due to the Iran Nuke Scare.

Why not go all out??? I recommend some 3 phase 12470V. That will really get your crossfire moving!

you want something that'll blow your mind. look up a phillipino inventor named daniel dingel on you tube. Oh and by the way electric cars were the first cars before diesel and gas...look it up. They were also getting more distance to the charge than most EV's today. Funny eh!!

oil isnt about money....its all about power. So much is going on that we cant even begin to understand....one world govt is comming sooner than we probly think.

Electric cars weren't snuffed out by oil, they simply lost the race to a more competitive power source. The circumstances have now changed. That doesn't make an inefficient method of turbocharging and engine any better an idea.

Oil is about power? OK but the power comes from the money you send to the Oil companies just as power comes from the money you send to Washington. With your money goes your right, your freedom, to do with it want you wanted.

Getting back to the subject, Ftroop has pointed out concerns that a more efficient engine design has been somehow ignored or hidden away. One can assume the concept of efficiency is the root of his argument.

That said, why are we arguing about a method of turbocharging an engine that is clearly not efficient. Even if it were to add HP, it would have to do so at the expense of energy. In a gasoline engine, that fuel is the energy and you would consume more of it , due to energy transitions, to achieve the same HP. Inheriently inefficient.

Why do it.

While it may seem easier to install, from the standpoint of energy management, it is more complicated. If the concept worked, AC systems would be electric because manufacturing costs would be reduced on the assembly line. Getting the compressor off the front of the engine would save millions of dollars. None of the big automakers have done it.

Dear Sirs,

Please advise as to the specifications on your Blinkerfluid. Is it the BS (blinker specific) or the OD (omni directional) type?

Last year we mistakenly installed the wrong fluid in our fleet of 36 school busses. We purchaced our fluid from Blinker Zone here in Toledo. After installation we found that only the front left blinkers were operative. Checking the specs on the 55 gallon drum, we found it was of the BSLF (blinker specific left front only) designation. If your fluid is BS, we would need a quote on the following:

BSLF (left front blinker)
BSRF (right front blinker)
BSLR (left rear blinker)
BSRR (right rear blinker)
BSSAL (student approach light blinker)
BSMSA (movable stop sign arm blinker)
BSRS (red all cars stop blinker)

Please provide in quantities available up to and including 55 gallon drums.

If your fluid is OD (omni directional) please provide quote in 55 gallon quantities only.

Best Regards,

Mr. Chuck

P.S. I own a Crossfire and belong to the Crossfire Forum and many of our members have been looking for Blinker Fluid in 0w-40 weight. Do you stock it? Some members are having a hard time finding it in their part of the country. Thanks again.
It looks like mrphotoman, bought a Bad batch of your BF or else his XFire just OD'd!
(or else it's just the Real B.S.? )

Our records indicate he did not buy any BS from us. He must have bought that cheap KaleCo Auto crap. Stuff ain't worth the water it's made from.

Might be the cyclamates. You know we don't use any cyclamates Bill.

Our BF is the pure BS.

Dammit...........screw this blinker fluid stuff.

I keep seeing this thread pop up and hope it's Maverick. I wanna hear about how "wonderful" this overgrown hair-dryer worked.



Actually, I just wanna hear about how catastrophically his engine failed!
