Forum Question: "How do I get my form to send sensitive credit card data to my email address?"
Forgive the rant, but I've been seeing lots of posts like this lately and frankly it leaves me terrified and irritated.
Terrified for consumers who could be exploited by credit card & identity thieves.
Terrified for site owners who could incur stiff penalties or be put out of business.
Irritated with the fool of a web designer who thinks this is OK business practice.
I've got news for you. It's not OK to transfer sensitive data by e-mail. It's not secure.
If you're new to web design and need to build a store site for someone, please use PayPal, Google Checkout or one of the industry approved shopping cart sites. If you need a recommendation, feel free to post a question in the forum. People here will be happy to share their opinions & experiences with you.
Q: What is PCI?
A: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Essentially any merchant that has a Merchant ID (MID).
Q: To whom does PCI apply?
A: PCI applies to ALL organizations or merchants, regardless of size or number of transactions, that accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data.
Q: What are the penalties for noncompliance?
A: The credit card companies may, at their discretion, fine an acquiring bank $5,000 to $100,000 per month for PCI compliance violations. The banks will most likely pass this fine on downstream till it eventually hits the merchant. In most cases though, the bank suspends or terminates the merchant's credit card privileges.
I realize jobs are scarce & finding good projects to work on is much harder than it once was. But that doesn't mean you should ever put yourself, the public and site owners at risk. If a site owner insists on running his business without a PCI compliant shopping cart to save a few dollars or [insert whatever excuse here], this is a red flag warning you to politely thank them & walk away from the project. There is no excuse for NOT using a secure payment method. PayPal doesn't cost much (a small transaction fee) and it's very simple to set up.

Excellent post and very informative except that I have personally had a bad experience with PayPal, and the result is that I will never use them again for anything, including purchases from already established sites.
There are others, including 2Pay which I will use.
The whole post is Spot on though.
Hey Nancy... no problem with the "rant"!!
I've also dealt with many posts asking how to create this or that type of shopping cart. Will this work or that?
About the only addendum I would like to add to your excellant post is that when choosing a shopping cart... you SHOULD START at your BANK and work backwards to the Web site.. not the other way around!
So in other words... don't just choose a third party shopping cart and and expect your bank to accept your choice!!
Most major third party shopping carts require that you first have a "Merchant Account" at your bank. Your bank will NOT allow that shopping cart to directly connect into it (gee... I wonder why). Each bank will have an approved "gateway" that they use as an interum connection between the shopping cart and the bank. For example:
but each "gateway" only approves/works with certain third party shopping carts.
So I'd recomend that clients wanting to create a "Shoping Cart" ALWAYS start at their bank and THEN work backwards to their Web site. If a "Merchant Account" is too much... then go PayPal or some non-direct link to your bank. But if the object is to process credit cards and deposit into your bank account (which means you need a Merchant Account)... then you had better start at your Bank and end up at your Web site... NOT the other way around.
Best wishes,
Another good point! It would seem foolish to invest $300 in Cartweaver, learn the PHP or ASP back end of it, set the whole site up, get an SSL certificate, and put everyhting to the server... only to discover that your business CAN'T do business... with your financial institution that is.
There should be a FULL tutorial out there somewhere that covers all the bases of starting an e-store, not only from a HTML standpoint, but commercial, legal and financial as well.
The idea that someone can go buy Dreamweaver (or worse yet, only download a 30 day trial) and "voila!" they're an instant webmaster, is as foolish as thinking that buying a ticket on a cross-country flight will make someone a pilot.
Hi Nancy,
Nice rant.
If I could just clarify about the shopping cart though. There is no requirement for pci compliance, PROVIDING, (sorry for shouting but!) the cart does not collect ANY user details, (order yes, user details no).
Also for those in the European communities, (EU) if the site designer/developer does not inform the site owner about the requirement for pci compliance, and the requirement to comply with data protection legislation, then it is the site designer/developer that is liable for all costs incurred by the site owner for any breach of said legislations, (professional responsibility). They are also responsible for any breach of advertising standard, (false user policy, advertisement, etc) along with the site owner, (consider this as 'aiding and abetting').
The above legislation was passed at the beginning of this year, (March I think) at the same time as the advertising standards legislation.
The US does have similar legislation but I think this varies state to state, so I cannot give clear details.
Thanks Curtis, Adninjastrator and PZ for your constructive input. All excellent points.
<Start with the bank>
Absolutely. Especially if the Merchant already has POS (Point of Service) -- a brick & mortar shop where the credit card user is standing in front of him.
On-line Merchants need a CNP (Card Not Present) account. Fees for CNPs are somewhat higher owing to greater risk of fraud & charge backs on the internet.
POS Merchants have a Gateway to process credit cards. A physical terminal or box is connected to a phone line or internet cable and used at checkout to approve or decline purchases on the spot. Similarly, on-line Merchants need an internet Gateway to approve or decline purchases. Often the same Gateway company can provide both services.
Finally, On-line Merchants need a Shopping Cart that is compatible with their internet Gateway's protocol.
As PZ said, any shopping cart can collect order details. But only a PCI compliant cart can collect customer data (card holder's name, address, credit card # & expiration date). The level of encryption required for this standard is very high to safeguard customer data as it's being collected, stored and transmitted to the Gateway.
I prefer to hand off customers to a secure payment processing agent like https://PayPal or https://Authorize.net for order completion. It costs a little more but it's much safer for me as a web developer and the site owner who is ultimately responsible for protecting his customer's data. Unless you really know what you're doing, it's much better to let the experts handle this step.
@Curtis, I've had good experiences with PayPal. But other options are good to know about. Especially for non-profits who may not be able to use PayPal. Please post any others you've had good experiences with.
Thanks everyone!

I like to work with 800cart.com
They have a really user friendly setup, and 24/7 live phone or chat support for integration or billing questions/problems.
PCI compliance is of high concern to anyone selling online so you need to take some time learning about it, then work with your host,and you payment gateway provide and in some cases tweak your site to bring things into line. Keep in mind that the whole PCI issue is still relatively new so there are many interpretations. Some merchant account providers will not accept anything short of a locked down dedicated server with all the security you can load up on it and will not pass anything on any shared host. Naturally this is overkill and an over reaction. Others are much more realistic, so it doesn't hurt to even spend some time shopping merchant accounts and PCI certification vendors - and ask others that have gotten their site/s certified.
You can avoid the issue completely by handing off all the transaction to a payment provider, and for some sites this may be the perfect solution. Doing so does interrupt the flow of the check out and introduces the payment provides's branding into the process. Many prefer to have a seamless transaction for the customer. Not to worry, with some diligence you can provide this sort of user experience and be PCI compliant.
Here's a link to a link to a knowledge base article on this topic.
Hope this helps

Great rant.
I have done several stores and they're all mounted on Secure servers. I have had several clients of mine request that they receive an email of the credit card number being used in payment. No Thank You! I won't do that. "But what if their card doesn't go through?" Then they'll telephone you if there is a problem. And you can use your terminal or wait for a check to clear.
I do not store any credit card data on my servers. Period. Credit card numbers are destroyed after the session, as well as all other information pertaining to the session. If their own web browser is set up to autofill stuff, that is their own issue.
All servers doing financial transaction have security certificates. All information that might have something to do with a financial transaction, password, etc is encrypted.
Unfortunately, it's not enough just to have a security certificate on your servers. If customers enter cc data on your domain, then it has to be PCI compliant.
http://www.mijireh.com/docs/what-you-need-to-know-about-pci-compliance /
Handing off all the transaction to a payment provider doesn't have to interrupt the flow of the checkout, nor introduce the payment provider's branding. For a seamless transaction for the customer (read... better completion rate), check out mijireh.com. It looks as though they are initially a wordpress only solution, but they have an API for integrating with other solutions.

If you're worried about law enforcement and other institutions possibly using drones to spy on you, you're not alone. A new bill is currently in the works that's aimed at curbing such uses, but will it be enough? Below is a map, via infowars.com, depicting the 81 locations that the FAA says have requested UAV authorization. The list is made up of universities, law enforcement, and a Native American tribal agency.
Depending on how paranoid you are, you may want to consider investing in property in South Dakota. Though, with this many approval applications, it's hard to believe that anywhere will be safe from prying robot eyes for long. However, to temper that a bit, and the Pandora's box of possible abuses aside, it's not likely that UAVs will be used for anything particularly malicious. Law enforcement officials have been using aerial vehicles for reconnaissance for several decades, and just like any other airborne platform, these so-called drones still require competent human input ... for now.

DULUTH - Duluth police arrested a man Wednesday suspected of ripping off Western Union for more than $950,000.Phi Duc Nguyen, 39, of Duluth, was arrested for financial transaction card fraud for using stolen credit card information to make wire transfers. He remains at the Gwinnett County Jail without bond. Employees at a Super H Mart on Pleasant Hill Road called police after they witnessed Nguyen using fraudulent information during a Western Union transaction, police said. Duluth police reportedly found numerous Western Union documents in Nguyen's possession. Further investigations revealed that Western Union has suffered more than $950,000 in losses related to the case, said Duluth police spokesman Don Woodruff. "Victims have been identified across the nation," said Woodruff. "Wire transfers were sent to Duluth as well as other destinations, including internationally." Duluth police are working with the United States Secret Service to locate all alleged victims, said Woodruff.

Fluent-Style Programming in JavaScript
Fluent LINQ
However, I'm a big C# fan, especially the fluent API style of LINQ methods like Where, Select, OrderBy, etc. As an example, assume the following C# class:
class Person { public Person() { Children = new List<Person>(); } public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime Birthday { get; set; } public int Age { get { return (int)((DateTime.Now - Birthday).Days / 365.25); } } public ICollection<Person> Children { get; private set; } public override string ToString() { return string.Format("{0} ({1})", Name, Age); } }
var chris = new Person() { Name = "Chris", Birthday = new DateTime(1969, 6, 2), Children = { new Person() { Name = "John", Birthday = new DateTime(1994, 5, 5), }, new Person() { Name = "Tom", Birthday = new DateTime(1995, 8, 30), }, }, };
var people = new Person[] { chris }.Union(chris.Children); Console.WriteLine("People: " + people.Aggregate("", (s, p) => s + (s.Length == 0 ? "" : ", ") + p.ToString())); Console.WriteLine("Teens: " + people.Where(p => p.Age > 12 && p.Age < 20). Aggregate("", (s, p) => s + (s.Length == 0 ? "" : ", ") + p.ToString()));
People: Chris (41), John (16), Tom (15) Teens: John (16), Tom (15)
Fluent JavaScript
// Person constructor function Person(args) { if (args.name) { this.name = args.name; } if (args.birthday) { this.birthday = args.birthday; } if (args.children) { this.children = args.children; } } // Person properties and methods Person.prototype = Object.create(null, { name: { value: "", writable: true }, birthday: { value: new Date(), writable: true }, age: { get: function () { return Math.floor((new Date() - this.birthday) / 31557600000); } }, children: { value: [], writable: true }, toString: { value: function () { return this.name + " (" + this.age + ")"; } } });
I can do several LINQ-style things on it:
var s = ""; var tom = new Person({ name: "tom", birthday: new Date(1995, 7, 30) }); var john = new Person({ name: "john", birthday: new Date(1994, 4, 5) }); var chris = new Person({ name: "chris", birthday: new Date(1969, 5, 2), children: [tom, john] }); var people = [tom, john, chris]; // select s += "
people
" + people.map(function (p) { return p; }).join(", "); // where s += "
teenagers
" + people.filter(function (p) { return p.age > 12 && p.age < 20 }).join(", "); // any s += "
any person over the hill?
" + people.some(function (p) { return p.age > 40; }); // aggregate s += "
totalAge
" + people.reduce(function (totalAge, p) { return totalAge += p.age; }, 0); // take s += "
take 2
" + people.slice(0, 2).join(", "); // skip s += "
skip 2
" + people.slice(2).join(", "); // sort s += "
sorted by name
" + people.slice(0).sort( function (lhs, rhs) { return lhs.name.localeCompare(rhs.name); }).join(", "); // dump document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = s;
Notice that several things are similar between JS and C# LINQ-style:
- The array and object initialization syntax looks very similar so long as I follow the JS convention of passing in an anonymous object as a set of constructor parameters.
- The JS Date type is like the .NET DateTime type except that months are zero-based instead of one-based (weird).
- When a Person object is "added" to a string, JS is smart enough to automatically call the toString method.
- The JS map function lets you project from one set to another like LINQ Select.
- The JS filter function lets you filter a set like LINQ Where.
- The JS some function lets you check if anything in a set matches a predicate like LINQ Any.
- The JS reduce function lets you accumulate results from a set like the LINQ Aggregate.
- The JS slice function is a multi-purpose array manipulation function that we've used here like LINQ Take and Skip.
- The JS slice function also produces a copy of the array, which is handy when handing off to the JS sort, which acts on the array in-place.
The output looks as you'd expect:
We're not all there, however. For example, the semantics of the LINQ First method are to stop looking once a match is found. Those semantics are not available in the JS filter method, which checks every element, or the JS some method, which stops once the first matching element is found, but returns a Boolean, not the matching element. Likewise, the semantics for Union and Single are also not available as well as several others that I haven't tracked down. In fact, there are several JS toolkits available on the internet to provide the entire set of LINQ methods for JS programmers, but I don't want to duplicate my C# environment, just the set-like thinking that I consider language-agnostic.
So, in the spirit of JS, I added methods to the build in types, like the Array type where all of the set-based intrinsics are available, to add the missing functionality:
Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "union", { value: function (rhs) { var rg = this.slice(0); rhs.forEach(function (v) { rg.unshift(v); }) return rg; }}); Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "first", { value: function (callback) { for (var i = 0, length = this.length; i < length; ++i) { var value = this[i]; if (callback(value)) { return value; } } return null; }}); Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "single", { value: function (callback) { var result = null; this.forEach(function (v) { if (callback(v)) { if (result != null) { throw "more than one result"; } result = v; } }); return result; }});
These aren't perfectly inline with all of the semantics of the built-in methods, but they give you a flavor of how you can extend the prototype, which ends up feeling like adding extension methods in C#.
The reason to add methods to the Array prototype is that it makes it easier to continue to chain calls together in the fluent style that started all this experimentation, e.g.
// union s += "
chris's family
" +
[chris].union(chris.children).map(function (p) { return p; }).join(", ");
Where Are We?
If you're a JS programmer, it may be that you appreciate using it like a scripting language and so none of this "set-based" nonsense is important to you. That's OK. JS is for everyone.
If you're a C# programmer, you might dismiss JS as a "toy" language and turn your nose up at it. This would be a mistake. JS has a combination of ease-of-use for the non-programmer-programmer and raw power for the programmer-programmer that makes it worth taking seriously. Plus, with it's popularity on the web, it's hard to ignore.
If you're a functional programmer, you look at all this set-based programming and say, "Duh. What took you so long?"
Me, I'm just happy I can program the way I like to in my new home on the web. : )

function Person(args) {
this.name = args.name || "";
I didn't do this for two reason:
1. The prototype for Person already contains the default value for the name property, so why set it again?
2. And why duplicate the same default in two places? When that default changes, I have to remember to change it in two places.

That being said, in the end it's best to profile the code and compare concatenation style (as in your example) with StringBuilder or StringWriter. It's possible that the LINQ-to-Objects provider might do something smart with your Aggregate code; it's often surprising. On the other hand, the optimizer is only so smart, so it's best, in my opinion, to make explicit your use of a builder or a writer.

Years ago, I started using MochiKit; it's a JavaScript toolkit heavily influenced by Python and contains implementations of many functional programming concepts (e.g. partial application of functions), including the set-based functions you've mentioned here. You should check it out, if for no other reason than to be amazed that such functionality has existed in a JavaScript toolkit for so long. MochiKit is geared much more towards engineers than jQuery is, which may be one of the reasons it never became very popular.....

Bill Woodruff:
On a "semantic level" it was hard for me to get my mind to perceive the C# code example as being other than a class definition which contains an internal collection of instances of itself; and, then, an instance of the class definition that also instantiates the internal collection. In other words hard me to think of it as a "set." Also, the word "lousy" here is an very interesting usage :)
Thanks !

Ok guys, here's the scenario.
I sometimes sell, sometimes gift iPhones to people that REALLY should not have the ability to uninstall things by accident that they NEED through the installer. If they learn on their own, that's great, but up front I need to know how to do the following:
- How can I remove the uninstall portion from Installer?
- If I can't remove the uninstall portion from the installer, how can I make it so that an installed program does not show up under the uninstall? (Without Removing it from the phone)
I know how to remove installer after having put it onto the phone, so that answer is not necessary. Also these are programs I can't install thru iBrickr...so leave that option out of it if you can! I really appreciate your help in this. I want them to have access to the community's great open source work, but I don't want them to be able to uninstall some of the tweaks I need to use to customize their phones.
Before you attack me, I've donated about 150 dollars to the Dev team. So I'm one of "those", but one of "those" that appreciates their hard work.
Please help me if you can!

So far after i bought this item it has been great for the season here in NYC. It gets really REALLY cold for the btu rating. For living on a top floor apartment where it gets like an oven in the summer, it has kept the temp at bay for the last few hours now with the energy saver feature. I would reccomend this to every person looking for an affordable unit and is still a brand name product. Just make sure you have an elevator apartment, it does weigh about 70 lbs and lugging it up four flights of stairs is a bit of a pain but totally worth it. Overall satisfied!
I was happy with it's cooling capacity. It kept our bedroom cool. We bought the unit 2 years ago and kept it in the box during winter and plugged it up in the spring. 18 months later it stopped working. Thankfully we paid $65 for the 3 year warranty. The repairman told us it would have cost around $300 to repair. The computer chip went out. He said it was common for this product.

Got this unit at a great fall clearance price, but won't be able to report how well it cools until next summer. My installation was through-the-wall and therefore much more complicated than a window install. Overall, I think the quality of this compact AC is about as good as you can expect from the Chinese. The fan is very powerful, hence it's not real quiet even on "Low". But I need strong air circulation for my situation, so I can't complain. It does seem ridiculous that products made for an aging US population have such small print on the onboard and remote controls. The airflow louvers do not allow for directing air downward. But installed at normal window height, it would be inefficient to direct cool air from the unit downward anyway. I will be using an outlet timer on this unit when I'm away for more than a day, so the fact that this AC retains the last settings when the power goes out is a must-have feature for me. I think the auto fan and energy saver features will also be useful. The AC won't be cooling my bedroom, so I won't have any need for the sleep mode. Our hot season is short here, so I'm hoping to get many years of use out of this unit -- we'll see.

We bought this hoping to cool off our downstairs rooms. The layout of the rooms makes this difficult, but we do get some relief. I think the 12,000 BTU might have done more, but this unit was more affordable.

Sounds like a typical problem with MOEN shower faucets. If you need to pull out to the handle to turn the water on and then turn it for temp control, it's a MOEN. Inside the cartridge there is a part that when shacking the cartridge in your hand you hear and fell the rattle. this somehow gets stuck. Remove the cartridge and tap it on the ground a few times and you'll hear. You can put it back in or get a replacement. There are all kind of hints on this site on how to remove the cartridge and it can be very difficult to do.
Here is an entry that I did after replacing a MOEN POSI TEMP cartridge with a DANCO brand replacement. I had help both my friend and their daughter (two homes) with the same problem as you have. http://www.terrylove.com/forums/show...NCO&highlight=

Is it safe to travel to Mongolia alone?
Are you wondering whether it is safe to travel alone in Mongolia or not? Many of tourists ask this question from others on online community before they travel their first visit of counties including Mongolia. Here is an example: "I'm 20 years old female and never tried traveling on my own, and would like to be independent. Am planning to visit Mongolia on my own for a month, but is it safe?…
We would like to say that Mongolia is one of the lowest crime-ridden countries to visit. With one of the lowest crime rates in Asia, you won't have to worry too much about getting into trouble while visiting, so long as you play it safe and use common sense.
However, no one can predict the future, anything can happen when you're travelling just by your own. Travelling with travel agency or tour operator will be definitely safe in Mongolia.
We have good news that Mongolia is included in the TOP 10 safest country in the Asia for female travelers. According to the Skift Travel, the safety of female travelers became a mainstream issue earlier this year amidst rape concerns in India, the disappearance of a solo female tourist in Istanbul, and the rescue of two kidnapped women travelers in Ecuador.
Singapore tops the list with a very low crime rate, 0.1 percent rate of assault, and 1.1 percent rate of reported theft. India does not make the top ten and served as the primary flashpoint for concerns surrounding female safety earlier this year.

An HHO or Brown gas generator is an interesting and often misunderstood technology.
The Brown gas generator uses electrolysis to split water (H2O) into it´s base molecules, 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen molecule.
This is why it is often referred to as an HHO gas generator.The HHO in itself is not an alternative to gasoline but a additive
to boost the efficiency of the engine. Gasoline engines are unfortunately not burning gasoline to its full potential. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency
The average gasoline engine in a car is about 18% to 20% efficient. That leaves a lot of room for improvement and Brown gas is one good way of improving the efficiency. The reason for this is simple, the hydrogen is highly flammable much more so than gasoline so when your engine ignites the hydrogen the explosion ignites the gasoline with much better results (cleaner, less waste and fewer emissions) than it would otherwise have done.
Some basics the burn speed of hydrogen is 0.098 to 0.197 ft/min (3 to 6 cm/min) compared
gasoline´s 0.00656 to 0.0295 ft/min (0.2 to 0.9 cm/min).
The hydrogen explosion is so fast that it fills the combustion cylinder at least 3 times faster then the gasoline explosion and subsequent ignites the gasoline from all directions (it is like putting flue on a fire), instead of just a spark in one end of the combustion cylinder, and we would like to do that because the gasoline only has a short time in the combustion cylinder and if its not fully burnt in that short amount of time then it just goes out the exhaust and is lost.It is also preferable to ignite all of the gasoline when it is under maximum compression in combustion cylinder to get the maximum amount of energy out of it (this is a small time window),whonce the piston starts going down the energy transfer from the explosion to the engine becomes less efficient.
The hydrogen´s higher burn temperature and explosive force is such that it cleans the soot that collects in the engine (it is like having the engine consistent maintains) and with a cleaner engine you get better mileage and fewer oil changes .
HHO works very well. you need a computer efie controller chip for map/ maf, intake fuel temp. etc. under 79$ to 99$ depending on make and model of car or truck; also works very well on diesel; natural gas; propane . I have used wet and dry cells for years. I usually sell these to retired; or low income. persons .with . my experience resulted in improve fuel economy 28% to 40% or more. Very good work. don't be discouraged by nay Sayers. Persons like you keep to world go round. PS were did you get the container. FOREVER3589
Is there not all ready a shortage of oxygen in the piston? Wont the fuel and the hydrogen compete to bind with the Oxygen? And lets say there is enough oxygen and the higher burn speed does make for more fuel ignition, would the increased pressure not cause a mechanical problem on the valves? I mean I would really like this to work but it seems to not be as simple as described. Increased volume in the piston due to more efficient burn will need the timing to be altered like you would in a race car.
So what happens to the water formed when the 2 x H molecules combines back with the O? Wont it mess up the piston?
For all the nay-sayers please explain why a super and or turbo charger benefit your car.
I'm aware of that, it was a semi-rhetorical statement touching on the idea of if using your engine to power a device which will increase its power which is already proven.
With all the solar that has been mass deployed around the world government have now realized that if they are placed on or near river or water bodies they can add electrolyzers and make and sell hydrogen on the spot.
You better start to learn how to make your own before that happens

I'm going to make a small unit for motorcycle and see if I get a performance boost
I'm still on the fence but i've already started collecting the things to build one minus the peanut butter jars ! ....."maybe"
According to http://youtu.be/2LtoW1wYdeg (someone who clearly knows what they're talking about and not inflating numbers) states for about 160 watts you get 1 litre of hho/minute. 10.6V at 15 amps in a strong electrolyte and good catalyst.
1 litre per minute. At 35 amps as per this instructable, you should get about double the output. maybe triple. I'll be totally overkill fair and say 3 litres per minute of hho.
A naturally aspirated 2L engine near idle (say 1000RPM for easy math, best case scenario for this thought) breathes 2 litres per 2 revolutions (4 stroke), Thus, it consumes 2000/2 = 1000 L/m of air (and fuel, which as a mist is only a few mL, negligible)
At high revs (say, 5000rpm) it's consuming 5000L/minute of mostly air.
Air, is
Chemical % by volume
Nitrogen (N2) 78.08
Oxygen (O2) 20.95
Argon (Ar) 0.93
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 0.033
Other trace elements 0.007
Source is www.scifun.org
780 litres of nitrogen
210 litres of oxygen
10 litres of argon
3 litres of CO2
If you take 1000 litres of air, and add 3 litres of HHO, the percentages go to
780L Nitrogen 79.3%
211L Oxygen 21.5%
10L Argon 1.0%
1.8L Hydrogen. 0.18%
982.8 total
The lower explosive limit for hydrogen is 4% Until you get 4% (to a max of 75% in air) hydrogen will not even explode. An explosion is what makes an internal combustion engine run. It will not increase the burn rate of the air fuel mixture in any measurable way.
At high RPM it's ridiculously lower difference as a percentage.
Yes, the new 'fuel' and 'fuel additive' nature will happen -- straight gasoline will be .2fps, and hydrogen will be .4...but the difference is in the hundredth of a percent.
The difference is so astronomically low that it simply won't change the chemistry of how the fuel burns.
Compound the inefficiency of the engine to extract that as mechanical energy (20-30% at best, coupled with the alternator 70% at best, coupled with the HHO generator (I don't know but I suspect since it gets hot 50% at best), you have a 9% efficient system aimed at increasing efficiency. Correct me if I'm wrong, (these are loose quick numbers) but it says a lot.
I'm pissed off about this pseudoscience going on and on in the internet. and it hides behind the conspiranoic belief.
thank YOU for thinking and do a little research!
if the atmosphere is made up of about 80% nitrogen and about 20% oxygen then this is what would normally be drawn into the cylinder on induction. if the HHO generator was providing 10% of the volume of gas for induction then the percentage of nitrogen would drop to 72% the oxygen would increase to 21.33% and the remaining 6.66% is hydrogen. The ECU is adjusted to put less fuel in the charge due to the hydrogen being fuel.
has anyone tried adding pure hydrogen to a charge? id be very interested to hear what the result was
And as far as energy goes. Its in what were releasing. Hydrogen is very powerful. And its THE most abundant fuel source. So it make perfect sense to use it. as our methods to extract it become more efficient its use will become more prevalent.
The reason I would presume its not being used as a primary fuel source yet, it no one would make money off of it. honestly ask your self, would would profit from it, and you have your answer as to why its not being researched!
Gasoline passes that test easily. Hydrogen does not.
"a material used to produce heat or power by burning"
If something yielded more energy than it took to create, that would break the laws of physics (namely the first law of thermodynamics).
The thing with fossil fuels is, the ground work was done millions of years ago, but the energy was still put in there. It just takes us less energy to EXTRACT it from the ground. We get about 3 times more energy than we put in for petrol.
With hydrogen as a fuel, you have to create it, not just extract it, so you have to put in the initial energy.
BTW, I'm pretty sure that's the second law of thermodynamics.
I was taking it as "energy can be neither created nor destroyed" therefore, where did the extra energy come from in the reaction, if you didn't create any.
But it also works with "the entropy of a system always increases" i.e. you can't end up with more energy in a system than you started with.
Either way, perpetual motion is impossible (though that's on the list of things to do)
Your definition of 'fuel' breaks both those laws. So hydrogen is a fuel because it fits under webster's definition of 'something used to produce heat or power by burning'
And it's not going to cause bad things to our planet if produced using green electricity because all its energy comes from energy that is here now. Using fossil fuels get energy that was taken out of our system millions of years ago and releases it, warming our system and increasing entropy
Your "green energy" malarkey is simply an ad hoc logical fallacy.
'How it got to be that way' is extremely relevant. It is the whole basis of the green fuel vs. fossil fuel argument. How it got to be that way:
It took ~60-100 years of sunlight to grow a tree or animal (feeding off trees), then it took millions of years and a whole lot of geological pressure to turn that into oil. That is a huge amount of energy stored in the oil, and a huge amount of energy which has been locked away, out of our system, for a very long time. During which time the Earth developed to live without it. When you release all that energy back into the system in 50-100 years, the system can't take it and you screw things up. Hydrogen fuel is created on the spot, using energy (hopefully from the sun or wind or water) which is in the system now. It is used again days or years (but not millennia) later, releasing the energy back into the system.
Please elaborate. Don't just say "green energy is a logical fallacy", please give some examples and counter arguments.
simplistically calculating through ratios, at 20% hydrogen and using 95RON gasoline you end up with a 9RON mix.
The existence or not of problems depends largely on additional factors, for example the sensitivity of the electronics etc.
Anyway this is just some food for thought for anyone thinking about trying this.
The underlying theory in this has it's kinks, and AFAIK fuel is already burnt thoroughly, owning largely to modern design and technical understanding of the whole thing.
Maybe the additional efficiency you notice is due to the replacement of some gasoline with hydrogen, therefore reducing the amount of gasoline used.
just my 2cents.
There will always be "nay sayers". The great majority of those who say nay really have no idea of the subject they are attempting to disparage. Don't dismiss out of hand that which you don't fully understand. Accept that most things are possible, just think! Cloned sheep, heart transplants, television, jet engines. These were all pipedreams when I was a boy. The only thing I am really sure of now is that just about everything that can be discovered or invented will eventually be so.
I have worked with HHO for long enough now to know that it is only a matter of time before the technology that will allow us the finite control needed to make HHO production a viable and safe option is available.
Someone has already pointed out that it is only the fact that once discovered there won't be a lot of money in it for the big boys. Unless the governments of the world give big business absolute control of all water. You think that's a stupid comment? Consider that we could have had this technology many years ago if big business hadn't wielded it's political stick. In Europe certainly, the majority of water is now owned by major companies. It might fall on my roof but the moment it touches the ground it's theirs.
Who put this soapbox here? All I really wanted to say was that the concept of HHO use is sound. As soon as HHO is burned it turns back to water so there is no wasteage. The energy needed to convert water to HHO gas is minimal. The amount of HHO needed and added to your fuel can be as low as 5% to make a real difference. Equally don't expect your engine to run solely on HHO gas. There is an inherent danger with HHO that too many people aren't aware of. We rely on HHO to increase the speed of the burn rather than by adding to the power of the explosion in it's own right. We are trying to turn a 20% efficiency into a 30 or 40% efficiency in the short term. It's the overall efficiency that is important. Not the inefficiency of electrolysis.
Hydrogen burning=Chemical energy harvested
Hydrogen separating=bonding energy destroyed
I know u are applying conservation of energy.
But the energy liberated after burning H was not the energy provided by electrolysis.It is chemical energy,it was already there.
The problem is though, that alternators are not 100% efficient, and nor is the electrolysis process, due to electrical resistance. Therefore, it takes more energy to split the water you get back from the combustion.
To my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, but using HHO as a fuel additive isn't as simple as getting only as much energy as the HHO provides, but I think it actually improves the efficiency of the petrol combustion, so you would end up getting more out of your engine despite working the alternator extra hard.
Can someone confirm this?
during HYRDROGEN explosion,I don't know the actual REACTION EQUATION.So I maybe wrong there.But understanding the amount of energy evolved in a hydrogen gas explosion I don't really think it is supplied by the battery.
"Electrolysis supplies energy to breaks molecular bonds. Hydrogen gas explosions release a lot of energy, which was not originally put in by the battery".
If that's what you meant, then this is my reply:
The equation for electrolysis of water is as follows
2H2O + energy => 2H2 + O2
The equation for combustion of hydrogen is thus
2H2 + O2 => 2H2O + energy
It's the exact reverse. Hydrolysis is just a backwards explosion.
If you don't believe me there, here's something to ponder...
The first law of thermodynamics states that "energy can be neither created nor destroyed"
This means that the total energy of the system, in all its forms, must be equal both before and after a reaction. So...
If the system has x amount of energy, provided by the battery to electrolyse the water, where does the extra energy come from which is released by the hydrogen explosion?
The energy has to be in there originally, to be released, so according to your explanation, if you electrolyse water, then combust the hydrogen, electrolyse that same water and repeat 100 times, then the hydrogen would eventually run out of energy because electrolysis doesn't put back in as much as combustion releases...
So,yes if thats right then the combustion helps in the fuel burning properly.
:P Thanks :P
What are your actual results?
I've been working on a similar rig. So far I've been able to run a Briggs and Stratton motor on it briefly.

International benchmarking vision for the Textile and Clothing Cluster of the Accelerated Growth Strategy (SCA)
Senegalese authorities wanted to turn the restructured local textile industry into a cutting-edge sector through the complete liberalization of the textile market. The Ministry of Industry and UNIDO Office Dakar submitted a support project to SCA (YASEB05001) for funding. This project aimed primarily at the provision of technical assistance in the elaboration of a textile and clothing action plan.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Industry, UNIDO conducted a diagnostic survey, entitled Diagnostic and Elements of the National Support Strategy for the Textile and Clothing Industry in Senegal in the International Context. The survey highlighted the sectors and sub sectors crucial to play an effective role in the global textile market.
Together with the cluster group and within the framework of the Support Project of the Accelerated Growth Strategy (PASCA), UNIDO mobilized experts of the consultancy company International Gherzy.
International Gherzy experts contributed to current national priorities:
- Senegal's eligibility to the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) and the wish to benefit from the opportunities provided by the AGOA
- Implementation of the Presidential Board of Investment in order to improve the trade structure and to attract foreign direct investments
- Launch of the SCA formulation process (one of the priority clusters is the textile and clothing industry)
UNIDO's technical assistance initiated the synthesis of work and recommendations of the recently conducted surveys in the textile and clothing sector.
Moreover, during the workshop for the Action Plan (21-22 February 2006, Savana Hotel), UNIDO's technical assistance facilitated business exchanges between the actors of the sector. Thus, the cluster group elaborated and adopted the strategies and main priorities of the cluster, namely tailoring and handicraft businesses. The restructuring of the industrial upgrading and modernization process for a small number of textile companies was contained in the action plan of the cluster group textile and clothing (GGTH). It should support the main priorities of the cluster.
The work of the GGTH, presented on the 14 June 2006 to the governmental authorities, marked the end of the conception of the action plan. Thus, the textile and clothing industry was the first SCA cluster, which defined an action plan. A compendium of 13 priority actions were outlined and brought to the attention of the governmental authorities. The timely adoption of the main priorities gained the support of local actors. Further, the strong economic trend emerged new challenges for foreigner investors.
UNIDO is still convinced that Senegal can play a decisive role on textile export markets, in particular in the tailoring sector. UNIDO's vision builds on existing know-how, on the good reputation of the handicraft sector, on new opportunities offered by international cooperation and on the emergence of value-added product niches.
However, the concrete realization of the identified action plan priorities is still a vital challenge. UNIDO's technical support will contribute to the challenging revival of the textile and tailoring sector. A sustainable textile and tailoring industry shall be achieved through the implementation of a function-oriented textile promotion center. Thus, the revived sector is supposed to be competitive and labor intensive in order to boost young employment.

April ratings underscore just how tight the race for Central Florida viewers has become and how the competition is challenging longtime leader WFTV-Channel 9.
The numbers in this story, unless otherwise noted, reflect viewers in the 25-to-54 age group, which is most important to news advertisers.
In the April ratings period that ended Wednesday, WESH-Channel 2 and WOFL-Channel 35 overtook WFTV in the 5 p.m. half-hour. (But WFTV was ahead of WOFL at 5:30.)
WESH was tops at 5 and 5:30 and came close to WFTV at 6. WESH was also reaching the most 25-to-54 viewers with its 4 p.m. newscast.
WKMG-Channel 6 surpassed WFTV at noon, and WKMG notched another victory at 11 p.m. CBS prime time, with "The Big Bang Theory" and NCAA basketball, certainly helped WKMG. The Fox schedule bolstered WOFL, which remained the leader in 10 p.m. news.
It was not all gloom for WFTV: The ABC affiliate continued at No. 1 in morning news and at 6 p.m. Yet 6 p.m. was close, with WFTV drawing 31,500 viewers to WESH's 30,600, WOFL's 19,500 and WKMG's 12,600.
WFTV still has a big piece of the pie in total viewers, but the game these days is based the 25-to-54 age group.
In the 5 p.m. half-hour, WESH set the pace with 26,900 viewers to WOFL's 18,100 (for the hour), WFTV's 16,600 and WKMG's 8,400.
At 11 weeknights, WKMG averaged 28,100 viewers to WFTV's 26,600, WESH's 26,000 and WOFL's 18,600.
At 10 weeknights, WOFL averaged 25,100 viewers to the WESH news on sister station WKCF-Channel 18 (with 11,200 viewers) and the WFTV news on sister station WRDQ-Channel 27 (8,700).
At 6 a.m., WFTV pulled ahead with 25,300 viewers to WESH's 14,600, WKMG's 12,500 and WOFL's 10,200. WESH picked up an additonial 1,900 viewers through a simulcast on WKCF.
In households, the former way of measuring the market, WFTV had some big leads. At 6 p.m., for instance, WFTV was seen in 107,300 homes to WESH's 78,400, WKMG's 33,000 and WOFL's 32,800.
In prime-time viewing, the Monday edition of "Dancing With the Stars" on ABC was No. 1 with 258,250 total viewers, followed by CBS' "NCIS" with 208,800. But the No. 1 telecast with the 25-to-54 age group for the April ratings period was the season finale of "The Walking Dead" on AMC.
The next ratings race, the all-important May sweeps, starts Thursday (today). Networks will feature big-name guest stars and season finales to help win viewers for their affiliates.

Off-Campus Dining:
I love the restaurants, but some are expensive
Off-Campus Dining:
there's a lot of restaurants around decatur but they're pretty pricey
Off-Campus Dining:
Literally everywhere you look in Decatur there is food
Off-Campus Dining:
We could have more student discounts.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many places to eat around campus! 90% of them are affordable for the average college student -- ranging from $5 to $12-13 at any given restaurant. There is also fast food for those who do not wish to delve in Decatur's local restaurants; but for those who do, there's Asian fusion, Thai, buffalo wings, you name it, we've probably got it within a five mile radius.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Sofia Barrera
Off-campus dining at Agnes is a cornucopia of options! Agnes is a five-minute walk to Decatur, and thus a five-minute walk to the surrounding restaurants. So, if you're a foodie looking for a great education and convenient access to food, Agnes may be the place for you! There are options that range from coffee and snacks to upscale dining in the Decatur area. The value for your buck is wonderful. Most restaurants serve large portions for the price they charge, so it's rare to feel like you've been cheated. Within walking distance from the school, you're able to find Mediterranean, Italian, Japanese, American, Mexican, Thai, and French cuisines. In addition to this variety in food, you'll be able to find Asian fusion, Latin fusion, and American fusion food, as well. There's no lack of variety in Decatur as far as food is concerned.
Vegetarian food is easy to come by. Each restaurant, unless it's a steakhouse, has some sort of vegetarian option that is not only nutritious but also delicious. Kosher options are also available in some places, but not all. As with all things, it's best to ask a restaurant about vegetarian and kosher options if you're unsure or unclear how food is prepared or what ingredients are used. All in all, Decatur is a great town for diverse dining!

Melissa Etheridge Songs
The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just song.
— Melissa Etheridge
Ani DiFranco – 32 Flavors Song
IN an era when "alternative" has become mainstream and most artists remain "independent" only till they're shown enough money, Ani DiFranco is a true maverick. Live performer of over a thousand concerts, founder of her own record label at age 19, and producer of eight albums in seven years, DiFranco is not your typical singer-songwriter. She's a fiercely, truly independent musician who has resisted major labels in order to stake out her own artistic ground — on her own terms.
Harry Connick Jr. Music
TALL, strapping, and possessed of a languorous eye and a syrupy smooth voice, Harry Connick Jr. deserves the nickname "The Big Easy" every bit as much as his hometown of New Orleans. The Sinatraesque crooner is credited for practically single-handedly introducing swing and big band music into the consciousness of '80s and '90s youth by virtue of his ground-breaking jazz career. As an actor, he has taken on increasingly ambitious assignments since his screen debut in 1990, winning almost universal acclaim for his warmly charismatic take on a variety of diverse roles.
Brenda song choice of the week – James Brown
JAMES BROWN'S unique blend of gospel and rhythm & blues built the foundation for what would later become funk, inspiring performers such as Sly and the Family Stone, Earth, Wind & Fire and Prince. Known as the "The Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness," Brown started out as a poverty stricken youth in Georgia, where he grabbed every odd job he could to earn money.
Kathleen Battle Song
WHEN diva Kathleen Battle was fired from the Metropolitan Opera's production of The Daughter of the Regiment in February of 1994, the entire company stood up and cheered.

Imagine driving seven days straight and only stopping 12 times to eat, sleep and work on your car.
That's what about 60 teams are doing for fun. It is the "One Lap of America" race created by Brock Yates who's famous for writing the "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Cannonball Run" movies.
On and off the track, the race is all about endurance, not only for the cars but the drivers.
Thursday they paired what strength they have left against the twists and turns here at Virginia International Raceway.

If a car drive and is street legal, the organizers of the "One Lap of America" will accept it.
"How some of these cars get license on them is not my business. These cars are bullet fast some of them, and some of them are painfully slow," said Brock Yates, Jr.
He's has either helped lead or plan the "One Lap of America" for 30 years.
His dad started the race.
"The tracks are there the cars are fast and you can't really use them any other place," Yates said.
About 60 teams from around the nation are hitting the pavement hard this year.
The group started in Indiana on Sunday and stopped in five southern states before coming here.
The trip can be tiring especially for hobbyist like Bob Knoerzer.
"You're pumped up on adrenaline the first few days. The third, fourth, fifth day you start getting worn out and tired during the long transit drives," Knoerzer said.
He joins many of the other drivers raising money for charities.
It's not only a race to see who can get the fattest wallet but who can better handle their tires. The traction and wear are carefully monitored.
Professional drivers use the trip for practice.
"That's what makes this so special is the opportunity to go to so many wonderful places and see so many wonderful things and race at so many nice places in a short period of time," said Amanda Hennessy, a professional driver.
These drivers claim to be friends on the road, but when the green flag drops it's show time.
The drivers are due back in Indiana, where they started, on Saturday.

The Vienna Series oboe from Allora takes to heart every need of the advancing oboist. With the Vienna 802 only the best grenadilla wood has been used for optimal resonance. The silver-plated keys utilize a full conservatory so that fingering never gets in the way of producing the best tone possible. While focusing their efforts on tone production and professional features, Allora made sure not to forget another important aspect — price. This oboe is available for much less than any other comparable model.

We sure hope most of you are doing better with your New Year's resolutions than we are.
One of ours was to stop eating office goodies, which lasted for about 10 minutes after we got to the office on Wednesday. Those cookies and brownies kept calling our name.
But if you're looking to save money in 2013, we can be a bigger help. Here's our list of ways to save in the new year.
• Never buy cooking spray again: Abby Weaver in Allentown showed us how to make your own cooking spray, which is much cheaper than buying the stuff in a can. She got a spray bottle for less than a dollar and fills it with vegetable oil she buys in bulk. Estimated savings: $295.40 over 20 years.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
• Electric-free coffee: If you're one of those folks who crisscrossed town in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, desperately looking for a place to get a cup of coffee, do yourself a favor in 2013. Go drop about $13 on a small camp stove and a can of propane. You'll have everything you need to brew your own coffee at home even when the power is out. No more driving all over town. No more lines. Estimated savings: $383.40 over 20 years.
• Cheap coffee flavoring: We got a great tip two years ago from Susie Beam in Nazareth that comes in handy this time of year. If you have candy canes left over, break them into quarters and use them to flavor your coffee or tea. It's a lot cheaper than buying expensive peppermint coffee flavoring. If you don't drink coffee, Susie suggests crushing the candies with a meat tenderizer and sprinkling the pieces on ice cream. Estimated savings: $113.80 over 20 years.
• Make your own dog treats: Joan Stangl-McGaughey in Bethlehem showed how to make your own dog treats, which she does for her dog, Isaac. Mash a ripe banana in a large mixing bowl and then mix in 32 ounces of plain or vanilla yogurt, two heaping tablespoons of creamy peanut butter and two tablespoons of honey. The mixture will fill 12, 5-ounce paper cups about three-fourths full. Put the cups in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once they're frozen, make a small slit in the top of the cup and peel it off. Your dog will love it. They're pretty tasty for people, too. Estimated savings: $436.80 over 20 years.
• Make your own makeup remover: Karen Newhard in South Whitehall Township sent us a great recipe for homemade eye makeup remover. Mixes a half cup of water, 1 teaspoon of baby oil and 1 tablespoon of baby shampoo. Pour into a small bottle and shake well before each use. Karen applies hers with cotton balls from her vitamin bottles. Estimated savings: $1,382.40 over 20 years.

"Moral Character," "Performance Character,"
and Waldorf Education
Wednesday, October 2, 7:30pm
Click here for an audio link of the lecture.
Even as mainstream American schools move inexorably towards measurement-based standards as the only benchmark of achievement, an increasing number of psychologists, neurologists, and educators are moving in a diametrically different direction. How can we understand the remarkable "success" of adults whose predictors in primary school marked them for certain failure? Do we need completely different benchmarks -- methods of teaching, and assessment, that look at the whole of life, rather than short-term mastery?
Drawing on the game-changing research of Carol Dweck of Stanford and Martin Seligman, former President of the American Pyschological Association, and the latest developments in neurology, Eugene Schwartz will explore the ways in which Waldorf education authenticates the interwoven roles of success -- and failure -- in the classroom.
Eugene Schwartz has been a class teacher and high school teacher at Green Meadow Waldorf School (New York) and Shining Mountain Waldorf School (Colorado) and a visiting faculty member at several other schools in the US. He is the author of ten books and over 100 of his lectures are available on CDs. He has pioneered online international teacher conferences and has recently been working with public school teachers in Ecuador and Waldorf educators in China.
