Invention Uses Mountain Dew for Fuel
I’ll admit, never saw this one coming–using Mountain Dew as fuel. It surely makes the Mountain Dew Game Fuel much more appropriate!
Inventor Paul Patone has created the GEET (Global Environmental Energy Technology) Fuel Processor. A mod that allows you to run your car on about 80% water. Or possibly, just a nice cold Tab.
“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 turbines,” Patone explains.
Patone says that the unit vaporizes the soda additive before it even reaches the engine. But in order to run, some gasoline or diesel fuel must be added.
“You need to have about 20, 25 percent hydrocarbon. Then you can add the Mountain Dew to it or whatever you want to add,” he said.
The system has been 25 years in the making and it wasn’t an easy ride. According to the GEET website, he was the victim of inventor abuse by corrupt Utah officials and businessmen. After refusing to sell his patents and technology, he was framed for securities fraud and put in a mental ward at the Utah State Hospital in March of 2006. He was freed May of this year.
He currently lives in Albuquerque, N.M. Yah, I’d get the heck outta Utah too…just for the near-beer alone.
I wouldn’t say soda pop is the greenest fuel source around but I think this has potential. So far the invention has been used worldwide to gas up cars, tractors and lawn mowers.
I wonder how it runs on Jolt Cola.

Maybe they let him out a little early - like a century or two!

This is one of the best “green” sites on the web. Keep it coming!

This video is ridiculous. The man said you can use ANYTHING… so what if Mt. Dew costs $4/gal? Water costs about $0.33/gal at the grocery store. So a solution of 25% gasoline and 75% water will run you about 50 cents/gal.
Hook up an empty milk jug to your tap at home and you’ll be spending less than 5 cents on that same gallon! This is real news, people.
By ending the “news” report with this silly Mt. Dew price comparison, they’re making fun of it… and if this invention can really do what its creator says, then it’s nothing to laugh about.
What an awful story…
For a website that purports to be about alternative fuels, you’ve wasted a huge opportunity here. You’re on the front page of Digg!
This is absolutely crazy. What energy sources in addition to Mountain Dew are required? Eighty percent water OK - So what’s the other 20 percent that provides the energy…
The math that the reporter tries to use at the end of the report stating that a gallon of Mountain Dew will cost you ~$4 is really only half the equation. The Mountain Dew could be more or less efficient than regular gasoline. If you could get 50 miles on 1 gallon of the soda/gas combo, but only 25 miles on 1 gallon of regular gas then you could say the soda/gas mixture is equivalent to a ~$2 gallon of gasoline. Of course, it could be the other way around too, where you get less mileage per gallon from the soda/gas mix than regular gas.
Said it runs on hydro carbons, aka, sugary liquids. Any cheap soda would work. And you can buy some for as little as a dollar a gallon.
