My name is Alexandre Tornel. I am employed at the town hall of Cahors, at the service of Finance. I am a pragmatist. At home, 1 + 1 have always given 2.
When I read the first texts on water doping (I do not like this expression of "doping" marked with a negative idea at all), I was quite skeptical. It was at the beginning of 2002. However, I did not stop at this first impression because there was often mention of old patents related to the automotive world.
(I forgot to tell you that I'm a big-and the word is weak- passionate about the automobile and its history)
So I discovered and studied dozens of patents approaching more or less the principle of water doping, read dozens of reports of more or less happy experiences of inventors and other gifted do-it-yourselfers, read hundreds of pages available on the Net.
I made my own opinion and I especially wanted to avoid blindly follow the sheep that were just spitting some imbecility of other sheep who have not taken the care to study this concept. (and God knows we find a lot of sheep on the Net!)
Of course, I have read, among other things, Jean Louis Naudin's experiments, the plain and simple but very effective pages of the "direct reaction" group and followed a few forums including those of econology of Mr. Martz (hey it's us guys !!)
There is no magic with water doping. There is science. And that's all.
End 2007, I was able to convince the mayor of the time to test the project.
Needless to say, most of the elected officials have taken me for a sweet crazy. I know that some people were against this project. "It was not serious, anything big, if it worked it would be, etc., etc. "
It does not matter. The first magistrate of the commune supported me. And thanks to him, the project could be done.
I contacted Alexandre Grégoire from La Pierre Angulaire because the editing he proposed seemed to me the most successful and the most thoughtful in terms of efficiency and safety for the engine. The city of Vitry sur Orne had also used his knowledge and experience in this area. (more informations: water doping in Vitry)
January 2008, I formed a team of three technicians who
wanted to participate in this experiment: the manager of the mechanical workshop and two specialists in welding and delicate work. Then, a feature 306 Peugeot 1998 diesel was allocated to us for the experiment.
In four and a half days, we were able to understand the principle of water doping and equip the 306.
The first results, positive, did not wait. We found the usual results: 25% reduction in fuel consumption and 70% reduction of polluting emissions.
Today, in August 2009, this vehicle is still rolling. He is one of the
Displacement pole vehicles and is used daily.
What did we deduce from this experience? What to think of doping with water?
The idea is good. The principle is quite valid. There are real
fuel savings. There are real reductions in pollution.
The system is effective when the engine is hot. It is therefore better to install it when we know that we will roll more than ten minutes daily and that the exhaust system will warm up.
No need to plan an installation if you use your car only to get your bread 500 meters: the system will not have time to heat and admit that walking, it feels good and in this case, it is better for the environment!
The system works without added "carbon taxes" which give a clear conscience to those who continue to pollute. He is not hypocritical and does not use dangerous products.
If you want to know more about our operation, I suggest you visit the site of Quercy Energie. You will find complete files made by the town hall of Cahors and by Quercy Energie who was also partner of this adventure.

Goods.
Mr. Martz, thank you again for the great work you have been doing for a few years (Thanks, it's warm to the heart!)
If you want to ask me for details, do not hesitate!
Looking forward to reading you.

CITY OF CAHORS - DOPING IN THE WATER OF MOTORS
January 2008, municipal agents of the city of Cahors as well as a technician of Quercy Energies, experiment during a formation, an atypical process "the doping with the water of the engines".
The objective of the training: to adapt a municipal vehicle, an 306 Diesel to the process of "doping with water engines" .A technique that remains uncommon, but whose existence is known for a long time thanks to the particular experiments of Paul PANTONE (inventor / patentee). A training that is part of the program of action of the local 21 agenda led by the city of Cahors. After one year of operation the results are very conclusive ...
The principle observed is an optimization of the efficiency of an engine: one takes advantage of the heat, normally lost of the exhaust to transform water vapor into gas type "vue_de_d_us_du_moteur.jpgplasma" that one injects then into the combustion chambers of the engine at the level of the air intake. This results in an improvement of the energy balance of the engine while limiting its wear, consumption and emissions.
Results observed from the observations of the municipal technical officers:
After 1 year of operation: 25% less fuel consumption, and 70% exhaust emissions avoided!
Astonishing that this system is still so confidential! Everyone can suggest their own explanation, starting with too much influence from the oil and even nuclear lobby, and secondly a timidity of the engine manufacturers who still experiment this system on prototypes.
In a context of energy crisis, this type of operation is a strong signal sent to the population, the automobile industry and represents a certain interest for the environment, the financial savings generated, which is why the municipality intends to continue studies on this approach.
Not sure that this is confidential, for proof this renault patent on the water injection posed recently mentioned in this subject... it seems that at Quercy, they had information on some experiments?
