| Rising food prices in Kenya |
 |
This short film features people in Kenya who have
seen the price of staples such as maize, beans and
oil soar in the last two years. Many families are
now getting by on only one meal a day. In the
film, one woman says that she often misses her
meals altogether so she can feed her children.
Concern is responding to this crisis. In the Kerio
Valley, we have successfully piloted a programme
that uses mobile phone technology to give cash to
the most vulnerable families so they can buy food.
Marsabit and Kalacha we are working with partner
agency Community Initiatives Facilitation and
Assistance (Cifa) to help people manage the
effects of drought.

UPDATE:
I have been working the bugs out of our hydrogen
system on the Ford Escort. Just this last Thursday
morning I finished making modifications and since
then everything has been working well. The system
automatically pumps water in and automatically
drains water from the water trap while on the
road. The car is running smoothly and has a lot of
power. We will soon start building kits and will
continue to test our designs. Recently, I had to
ask myself what is gasoline? Gasoline is a blend
of hydrocarbons C11H24 - C7H16. So, gasoline is
just hydrogen with molecular bonds to carbon atoms
and it produces about an equal amount of water as
it burns. Hydrogen is clean burning because it
does not have any carbon in it and it only
produces water vapor when it burns. I have been
concerned about the effects of water vapor on the
engine and exhaust system however every
hydrocarbon fuel that we burn already produces
water vapor and unburned hydrocarbon emissions.
So, I have stopped worrying and continue to drive
370 miles each week with the hydrogen generators
turned on. I have also discovered that sugar has
everything that we need to make gasoline and other
hydrocarbons like propane C3H8, Butane C4H10, or
hexane C6H12. Vinegar is C2H4O2 but remove the
oxygen and you get C2H4 which is highly
combustable Ethylene gas. It is all a chemistry
problem with fantastic results that can power our
cars when oil runs out.
Well, that is the update. Thanks for watching my
videos and keep watching for my next mad science
experiment.
Here is a way to beat the ever growing prices of

Gas prices have been going up with no end in
sight, so we headed over to the street to find out
the average Joe and Jane's view on this ever
increasing problem, and to get their prediction
for gas prices on Jan 1st, 2009. We also give you
some simple tips on saving gas, and spoke to a
Toyota and Hummer dealer to find out how
increasing gas prices are affecting their sales.
Leave a comment, and tell us how you're coping
with $4/gallon+!
