[Gasification] Syngas on Wiki_

[GFWHELL at aol.com]

I believe we are all ardent admirers of Jim's Gek, the continual  
improvements made to the design and automatic control for the production of  clean 
flammable gas is the objects of our admiration.
However, there are many among us, who believe the term "Syngas" describes a 
 synthetic version of a naturally occurring organic compound 
(methane).which has  far more energy content than the production of a GEK.
If the GEK really produces "Syngas" there are obviously no  improvements to 
be made to the QUALITY of the gas  produced.    The GEK has most certainly 
"arrived".
If we believe this then we can all pack up and go home. What is the object  
of this site if some one has found the Holy Grail which we all seek.
On the other hand, there are rules for successfully marketing a  product 
and Jim has not broken any of these.
He needs to describe his product in the best possible light in order to  fu
el the continued research and development he has shared with us.
Syngas is an excellent descriptive word, are we to have a referendum on  
its application?

For me synthesis gas should have the capability of being used to  synthesis 
some product.

Tom,

Jim  was right, I'm working on a machine that is intended to some degree to 
 integrate principles of making synthesis gas, so I have a vested  interest 
in his use of terminology used in marketing his  product that, I believe, 
contributes to a  public misunderstanding.  I've asked Jim nice many times in 
 the past to consider the differences that Doug, Bill Klein,  Greg and many 
other professionals on this list have explained to Jim  and myself years  
ago.       

GF (and others)  recognize that there is commercial value in marketing the  
"syngas" claim in addition to the technical correctness  issue. 

Unfortunately with a mushrooming interest in  energy issues, many un or 
under-educated persons have now become  part of our various governments and 
making public  policy.  Continued use of wrong terminology, now even amongst  
government officials making policy decisions, eventually affects  enterprise 
large and small.  

I'm impressed by Jim and his  crew's ability to appeal to a large audience 
of interested, computer  literate folks.  I wish him success.

I don't want this to  be harsh or attacking to Jim, but feel that continued 
effort to make  alternative energy progress will require even greater 
technical  distinctions, rather than blending terms together as "generic"  terms. 
 Please help to clear up our "english" language version of Wiki  defining 
these gases and their respective machinery.   

Have a good new years.
