KQD panel

I’ve finally gotten round to getting this plugin up to scratch to release. I’ve been using it for a while now - ever since I got sick of waiting for the dash to load. So if you are impatient like me, or just want different content on your dashboard, then here it is: KQD!

Update: Version 1.1.0 includes a couple of bug fixes and some minor enhancements, so make sure you download it.

Enjoy!

Water Power - The Clean Alternative

HHO power

No, it’s not steam you are thinking of. And it’s not hydrogen either. It’s actually HHO, a gas derived from water.

Denny Klein has invented a water-powered torch and water-powered engine.

Apparently, the blow torch flame is not hot to the touch, but can burn through tough materials. On the news clip, sparks can be seen coming off the sheet metal as the flame hits it, but then water runs off it after the reaction.

Originally, Klein wanted to invent a gas to replace acetylene used in welding. After coming up with the HHO burner, the thought struck him to use the same fuel in combustion engines. He says the process of converting current cars to running on HHO is quite straight forward, unlike cars that use hydrogen fuel cells (also derived from water). This makes production of HHO cars more realistic he claims.

Imagine, to refuel all you need to do is turn on the garden hose. However, even water is becoming a rare commodity.
