The ammonia is fuel of the reciprocating engine.

Araki F Machine study it for several years. It is to operate an engine with hydrogen as fuel in substitution for gasoline.
I do it with Iwai Corporation, laboratory of MI product, fisheries college, Hiroshima University.

However, a volume is big when hydrogen does not liquefy. High pressure is necessary to liquefy. When I am going to load it onto a car, a fuel tank gets heavy.

Therefore we paid attention to ammonia.

The ammonia is a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen. The ammonia can do liquefaction (propane gas regular) by low pressure. It is convenient to store it.
The ammonia has been already used for manure and a basic medicine. There are many them. A technique has already matured about production, a storage, transportation.

We can make the ammonia without limit if I use the Haber-Bosch process. It is electricity at all, and the oil and the gas and the coal are enough for the energy.

We generate power by wind in an area having very low population density. We make ammonia with the electricity. We do not need to install an expensive solar battery if we transport it by a tanker.

By the way, production of food was finished drastically by a Haber-Bosch process having been invented, and population increased very much.

Does it accomplish nobody to start the engine with ammonia?
The answer is "NO".
Many people have already succeeded if they only start the engine.

Mix it with gasoline.
Intake after warming the ammonia by installing a heater before an engine.
There is the person who was able to drive using such a method.

But nobody succeeds in cold start, stable driving.

The ammonia engine is a frontier.
If anyone succeeds, it is a bonanza.

An experiment is conducted today in Iwai Corporation. I went for it.

We succeed.
It is to change it to ammonia after we make a warm-up with hydrogen. In this case I can drive only with ammonia.
Cold start with the ammonia single fuel will still take time.

I have an epoch-making idea about the ammonia engine. I intend to produce it experimentally.
I intend to use even the cloud funding.

Rearranging layout in our factory

I am rearranging layout in our factory.
At last it is over.

At last it was fine today

I draw off motorcycles.

Suzuki GAG to Bimota SB6. Top clamp making part 1

At first I make the back side.

The processing of the back side succeeded.

By the way, the back side of genuine SB6 is this.

Extension of the side stands

I got a request after a long absence. It is extension of the side stands.
It is extension of 20mm.

I tear off the painting of the part welding.
Then, I cut it.

I weld a pipe of L=20mm.
In most cases, even genuine parts use the pipe of the standard. Therefore the pipe of the just same diameter is available.
I used an electric-resistance weld pipe of STKM.

I point-weld it as straight.
If it beats it with a hammer lightly after having welded one place and revises it, it goes well.

I was able to do it straight.

It is completion if I paint it after this　work.

Five-leaf clover!!

I was able to find it this year.

Five-leaf clover!!

"Yattaaaa!"

Sakura fright 2015 Balloon Glow in Tamaoka Historic Park

An event called the "Sakura fright 2015 Balloon Glow" was a Kasai-city Tamaoka Historic Park. I went for it.

Here↓

The situation when I arrived.

I can go to the place where I want to go. 

There are not the entrance restrictions there. It is the event that is not formal.

The meaning of the Balloon Glow?

It is like appreciating it without letting a balloon have takeoff　in night.
The flame of the burner looks good at night. It glows.

The photograph which wants to make the desktop of my PC!

Powerd paraglider flies, too.

He photographs these balloons from the sky.

Seeing from the sky, what kind of picture will it become?

Probably this paraglider is Mr.Sadayuki.

He is a teacher of "paraglider school BUZZ".

The picture which he took was uploaded in youtube. I place it here.
