Water doping press conference in Vitry-sur-Orne
published: 31/05/07, 20:39
I spent the day at a press conference on water doping in Vitry-sur-Orne.
Context: the president of a local association ("La pierre angulaire" based in Nancy: http://lapierreangulaire.free.fr/ ) Alexandre G. has just modified, under the mayor's decision in person (general councilor also) a C15 of the municipality with a water doping system with steam generator (according to Michel's advice here: http://reaction.directe1.free.fr/ ).
I was invited to participate in the press conference to discuss the more scientific aspect: that is to say the various operating hypotheses that we could establish together. So I evoked the 2 theories that for me are the most probable since some experiments confirmed them in part:
1)ionization of water vapor
2) the cavitation of wet steam in the reactor (which would lead to a supersonic velocity and shock compression / expansion of gases and possibly a phenomenon of sonoluminescence).
We will see what the journalists have selected and will write
Here is the list of journalists present:
Republican Lorrain http://www.republicain-lorrain.fr/
The week http://blog.lasemaine.fr/net/lasemaine.fr/nsf/bg.nsf
The friend Hebdo http://www.ami-hebdo.com/
Lor'fm http://www.lorfm.com/
France Bleu Lorraine Nord http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/franc ... raine-nord
Jerico Radio http://www.eveche-metz.fr/radiojerico/
France 3 Metz http://lorraine-champagne-ardenne.france3.fr/
+ 2 or 3 other journalists who took photos ...
TV and radio journalists weren't too interested in "how it works" but rather "How much does it cost and how much does it earn" ... They did not interview me, however, they interviewed Alexandre who evoked econologie.com in at least one of his interviews. The mayor was also interviewed. The report of FR3 should be pretty good
We also did some photos next to the proto (one of the most beautiful editing that I saw, I think we will soon be able to present it on econo) ....
Well here I am, I will give you the "press results" as soon as I have them available.
Congratulations again to the Mayor for his decision and Alexander for his editing! It is a spark that could well lead to a blast (to stay in the driving language)! Vitry-sur-Orne has just taken a big step for the system of doping with water and it could become in pantone what Villeneuve is in oil . It just goes to show that sometimes a "little" political will is enough to get things done!
ps: at the result level, the 15 C1993 consumes 36% less (8,25 to 5,28 L / 100km in semi-urban travel) and has reduced its smoke by 83%. To see the press release
Published on 24/08/09: here is the "complete" press review following this assembly

and TF1 spoke about it in "reports" in August 2009: tf1-stories-c-is-good-for-the-planet-a-Vitry-t8203.html
