Engine Runs on Mountain Dew

Posted August 04, 2009 2:13 PM

From Gizmodo:

Paul Patone is an inventor who created a perfectly working engine that runs on 80% Mountain Dew 25 years ago. That was before he was framed by corrupt Utah officials and businesscrooks, after he refused to sell his patents. His engine is called the GEET—short for Global Environmental Energy Technology—Fuel Processor. His system modifies any engine to run on 20-25% regular gas, from diesel engines to a jet turbine. The rest of the mix could be any soda: 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 turbine. You need to have about 20, 25 percent hydrocarbon. Then you can add the Mountain Dew to it or whatever you want to add. When he tried to bring his invention into the mainstream, corrupted Utah's officials and businessmen decided they wanted to profit on his invention, so they tried to force him to sell the technology. He refused. As a result, they framed him for securities fraud, declared him insane, and put him in the mental ward at the Utah State Hospital. This abuse happened in March 2006. Luckily, the guy was finally freed this May, and now he can pursue his dream of pushing the world forward one pop soda engine at a time.

I can't say I have researched this much at all, so perhaps someone who knows this better wants to defend how this works, it looks like BS to me.

Looking at the plans for the GEET Fuel Processor I can't say I think this thing is really letting an engine run on soda. For a lawnmower engine, it does look like it can use more of the unburnt fuel and act as an exhaust filter.

What it looks like to me is the hot exhaust gas bubbles through the soda gasoline mixture which evaporates the gas and soda. This vapor then travels through what is basically a condenser to remove the water/soda and then enters into the engine intake.

I can see this thing increasing efficiency in a lawnmower engine since it can capture the unburnt fuel. I can also see it cleaning the exhaust since the exhaust is filtered by the liquid it bubbles through.

What I don't think it does is let an engine run on soda. The engine is running on the gasoline that is mixed with the soda. I would imagine the filtration fluid could be many things including water, but I guess soda sounds more interesting.

I don't understand how the magnetic north south pole thing has anything to do with anything. The only thing I see the rod doing is helping to condense the vapor. I bet steel or glass beads would work better in this respect.

interesting, about corruption in Utah, and how aggressive they are.

I seen a news documentary hell back in the 70's where an inventer from Utah invented a new way to pit cherries, that out performed conventional methods industries used.

The corruption even came from the church.

Anyways, if the mileage is the same, it would be cheaper until the supplies tighten.

or when it goes flat because it requires shaking..... ....

This is such a crock - why would you burn Mountain Dew when store brand soda is so much less?

Although - now that I think about, I'm glad the system doesn't use bottled water - that stuff costs more than gas.

Ohhhh... I'm going to put a GEET system on my flying car, and run it on Red Bull!

Cause we all know Red Bull gives you wings!

Not sure as I have not been in the US for a year, but doesn't Mountain Dew cost almost the same as gasoline in the US? About fifty cents a litre I think, or $2 a gallon?

I am sorry, but I think that he really did engage in securities fraud and he probably is insane if he really thinks this works. Pop is mostly water, this is just a variation on the HHO scam.

Correct, the GEET and similar HHO Pseudoscience devices have been discussed at length on CR4 before. The GEET doesn't just work on Mountain Dew, but it makes a better article to grab peoples interest. I looked into the technology and it didn't take very long for me to come to the conclusion that the GEET is a scam, pure and simple (and a rather obvious one).

I thought you distilled your own mountain dew. If it doesn't burn it wasn't made right.

I would disagree. The GEET is the real deal. It is not HHO or EWG.

Frankly it was the combination of every trick Paul learned on how to optimize fuel consumption. But accidentally he discovered the fundamental structure and function of a star, planet, and probably nuclear particles.

You might want to read "The Book of GEET, Part 1" by the late Paul Pantone. After 30 years of harassment and suppression, at least 3 failed assassination attempts.. He finally began to make some money on the down low. They not only seized all his assets... they put him down. He gave up trying to debug the problems associated with fueling cars, and stuck with emergency generators. It didn't matter.

If you did not pay for his training class, and also signed an NDA, you would not have been privy to the information necessary to build a working unit. There is quite an active following in France who have nothing but good things to say about the technology.

The unit was not an HHO knock off. It was a kinetically powered replica of natural energy generating systems that replicated the function of the Earth and its projected magnetic field. It also replicated the activity of the Sun when properly configured and run at a high enough energy level. Few realize that the stars are not visible in space. The energy they emit is not regular EM waves, those are converted in the atmosphere. His reactor went transparent when cranked up high enough.

Paul had the fuel he generated in the GEET analyzed as well as the exhaust and it wasn't Energized Water Gas. The GEET converted any vapor you fed it into a mixture of very elemental plasma which included one substance that does not exist in the periodic table. The ICE he powered then took this plasma, and like EWG, imploded in the cylinder to form clean air (yes it makes the same stuff the Earth makes) and water. It was a paired self-contained plasma reactor that did both fission (in the GEET) and fusion (in the ICE). He ran it on anything he could bubble or vaporize. And that meant regular fuels, water, acid, piss, metal dissolved in acid, root beer, anything. He could also shut off the air intake and run the bubbler with the exhaust. Making one wonder if it actually consumed anything, or would it eventually radiate the total energy of the fuel away?

The only thing that can explain how it works is an Aether model of reality similar to Tesla's. Paul measured the device broadcasting tens of kilowatts of voltage and current into the air, but could not capture it with inductors. He needed capacitive pick-ups, similar to what Tesla talked about in his description of broadcasting Ether FTL and without losses.

The magnetic fields it generated were yards away from the device (similar to van allen belts) and could wipe semiconductors. It also seems he could magnetize more than just the electrons. (It generated proton currents as well as electron currents.) It also altered the gravitational constant of the device. And produced waves that acted like the x-rays that Tesla discovered, not the type that are used by medicine today. He imaged both soft tissues and bones. He also replicated the creation of planetary weather from Auroras to Tornadoes. There is a simple way to deactivate a tornado or hurricane.

The potential to save mankind from the cyclic extinction events that destroyed civilizations in the past is in Paul's invention. It's really too bad that society can't work freely with the technology. Paul discovered that there is a defense organization that can monitor the technology, but how far they have developed it is of course secret. He only saw the helicopters that would appear and hover until he turned it off. Until the black ops group seized everything at gunpoint, refused to show ID and successfully commanded the local police to stand down. Paul died shortly after that raid in 2015.

Understand this is a forbidden technology. Publicly promoting it will get you discredited, financially ruined, and/or killed. Governments will fall if waste becomes viable fuel. But the ability to control gravity is even more threatening. Paul held back his technology as long as he was not killed. The book was a poison pill threat intended to keep him alive, it wasn't enough. Be safe.

Peace, B

Your about 10 years too late with your posts, pseudoscience conspiracies and scams have moved on again to other things but I am sure they will come back after the current one, the flat earther movement, falls out of favour.

It is clear, as a new member to this forum I also am more familiar with the definition of what is on topic and not.

I'm not complaining.

Everyone has the responsibility to build a model of reality as they see it, but when it comes to discussion of engineering topics, how non-technical people react to it will always flow in the direction of the group and leadership of the day.

One would hope that engineers or persons trying to understand a technology that is not conforming to the collected model of reality would be willing to discuss the issues that are critical to the departure from accepted processes.

Pivoting is a method of deflecting a topic and forcing an association between two unrelated topics. Building a vacuum powered plasma reactor that does fission and fusion is not equivalent or in any way related to how curved you model the planet. 99.99999% of architects model the Earth as flat. It works. It is undeniable this works. That has nothing to do with how every stellar object in the Universe that rotates shows us they are spherical and the Earth is one of those objects... But, models enable your survival... When a spherical Earth means the difference in survival is most likely the first order of business for a strategic missile strike... not on my list of things to do today. Thanks for mentioning it.

Pseudoscience. I had to look that one up so I'd be sure what you were inferring about my understanding. "a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method." Sounds respectable. However, do you understand the limitations of what the scientific method is restricted to? How about the fact that it demands you reset your hypothesis when the data does not reflect the discerning test you conduct to distinguish the applicability of your model? Or how about the fact that the method encourages the scientist to re-define his conditions to enable a correct interpretation of the contrary results so as to preserve the accuracy of the model?

It doesn't take a PhD to determine science and electrical theory as modeled by academia is pseudoscience. Since Goethe challenged Newton's observations of the rainbow, pointing out there is a second spectrum of colors when you change the conditions of how you observe the refraction, and "science" denied his claims, refused to model his observations, by freezing the "laws" of science... regular science has been pseudo. And being creatures of habit, today's scientists continue to follow with laws that need to be conditioned like a contract written by a team of lawyers in order to maintain even a nit of integrity... Spinning the discussion off into a popular touch-point is way more efficient use of their time... and yours. 10 years is a long time gone... and for fashion, that's not worth resurrecting... for physics... well. The wall and the wheel are much older... I don't suppose you use either of those.

I hope these are on topic with your reply... I appreciate the feedback. Clearly you are not the audience intended for the previous comment I made. I trust this hit the mark and would suggest you start a new thread. Thanks, B

I don't know about Mountain Dew but we have Valley Dew here that will surely run a engine.

It is distilled in an unaccessible valley from fruit etc and called Mampoer, Wit-blits (White Blitz). Very nice but you have to say Yahoo when you drink it.

Maybe the Mountain Dew is of the same calibre and not the one for Sissy's known by everyone.

Oh, no. Not another conspiracy article about repressed technology. Gizmodo can't even get the guys name right. His name is Paul Pantone, a well known delusional scammer. His "invention" is nothing more than a fuel preheater system, a variation on the vapor carburetor. Of course, it has magnets around it and stuff to give it it's magical powers.

He even claims that it transmutes elements! See this link and go to the ppt presentation "How GEET Works". Not only that, there is less carbon in the exhaust than in the fuel! And it increases the amount of O2 in the exhaust above ambient levels (by transmutation)!

Yes, folks, this device converts sulfur and carbon into He and hydrogen, by way of a "human aura" which surrounds a magnet. Of course the magnet can be made of aluminum or glass instead of steel.

Really, Google GEET and Paul Pantone. It's a hoot!

Buy the book. Glam together some plumbing parts. See for yourself. Your model of reality is just a bit off the mark. "The Book of GEET: Part 1" by Paul Pantone available on Amazon in e-book format.

Your description of his device is simply wrong. Sometimes people surprise you.

It is a rare patent that tells all that is needed to have the device work. Usually it is just enough to protect from replication. There are no magnets in the device. It actually self-magnetizes a key component. Even if that component is non-magnetic. Pretty magical for your world. (I'll wager.)

But, be warned. Do not publicly try to make this a public success. You will be eliminated like Paul.

Peace, B
