N.J. – The hydrogen has to be separated from the H20 (water) and that takes energy. An engine that can produce it’s own fuel and have power output is called a perpetual motion machine and is considered mythical. The attainable goal here is efficiency gains.

This is not the AVEC engine nor is is a swash plate engine as one utube viewer suggested. A lot of engines have common design aspects but what sets them apart is the sum of the ideas that are put together into a particular design. I have been investigating efficient ICE engines for over 20 years as a hobby and I can tell you this engine has almost all the major design elements that I would put in my own super efficient engine (if I had the means to build it). The science is all good on this and the man was a true genius to be able to conceive of and build this engine.

The thing to learn about this is that the information to make more efficient engines is well known and has been for years. If you look at the math and find what represents losses and then try to minimize them then you will gain efficiency. That is what Larsen did and he did it well. But he wasn’t the only one who can. People with the money need to connect with the people who know the math and people who have the skills to build such engines so that they can become available. Large corporations will only release new ideas a piece at a time so as to preserve their future market share, at best. At worst they will just sit on it if it is a technology that will hurt their bread and butter business. Small businesses are the only hope to save the economy and the environment.

After Watching the video on the “MrGreenEnergy.com” website I became concerned about one important point…They wish to sell the hydrogen for a engine that can run off of water. instead of creating its own hydrogen from water they want to continue to milk money from people by selling the hydrogen.

This makes absolutely no since at all. Why would i want to buy fuel for something that can make its own. If my car can convert its own fuel and I am not forced to buy fuel whats the point in the whole thing.

I believe I have found Mr Larsen engine in Dubai under a company call AVEC. The engine is featured combined with two 100 kw generators on our web site MrGreenEnergy.com

They’ll get what’s coming to them, and they’ll be exposed once something similar is out on the market.

IM ALREADY BUILT THIS ENGINE INTO A 2 CYLINDER GO KART ENGINE IT WAS SO EASY

given the resources i am confident i could reproduce the prototype

Unfortunately the engine no longer exists in free hands and is no doubt ensconced in some black lab being carefully dissected for its secrets. This is a very discouraging story, but it needs to be told. Mel Larson died about a year ago now. In his last days he was quite ill and was in the hospital. One night someone or some corporation’s henchmen broke into Mel’s workshop and with hoists and a truck stole his prototype engine and other equipment. This was a man’s lifework and it was callously ripped from him, as he lay seriously ill. No doubt this was the final straw in the life of the very talented inventor and engineer. He was no doubt devastated by the loss because he died a few days after the burglary. May those SOB’s get their just cosmic reward one day. Mel, we will carry on your work despite this sordid insult to your legacy.
