Magnegas Going Mainstream
Recent activities include actively selling Magnegas fuel for the metal working market through several distributors in the United States. They have set up a retail operation in Florida and are selling fuel direct to end users such as scrap yards and other metal working shops.

Greetings to everyone in the alternative energy community. It's been a while since
we've heard any news on Magnegas Corporation, (the company that turns liquid hydrocarbon wastes into a clean burning natural gas substitute) located in Tarpon Springs Florida, (see previous
article), so I thought I would bring you up to date.
Magnegas Corporation is a public company trading on the "Over the Counter Bulletin
Board" under the symbol "MNGA." Incorporated in 2007, Magnegas Corporation has been very busy commercializing their technology and selling fuel.
What is Magnegas, and what makes it special?
Magnegas, (whose name is derived from its unique magnetic bond)is a natural gas alternative that burns cleaner, and is made through a plasma arc process from various liquid hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as human or animal waste, crankcase oil, hydraulic fluid, waste cooking oil, antifreeze, etc. It not only burns cleaner than other hydrocarbon fuels, but it has the unique ability to put 12 to 14 percent oxygen back into the atmosphere. I
don't know of any other alternative energy systems that do that.
So here we have a process that uses a nearly inexhaustible feedstock (waste liquid hydrocarbons), to produce a fuel that is a replacement for natural gas and can be mixed with natural gas in any proportion. Magnegas can be used to power bifuel or natural gas automobiles and equipment, for cooking, water heating, or to power generators. But the main use for Magnegas today is as a replacement for acetylene and other gases in the welding industry.
So what is the composition of Magnegas? According to the MSDS sheet on the Magnegas web site it is:
| Hydrogen |
55-65% |
| Carbon Monoxide |
30-35% |
| Carbon Dioxide |
1-2% |
| Trace Gases |
0.5-1% |
| Water Vapor |
Less than 5 PPM |
The magic ingredient in Magnegas is the proprietary bond between carbon and oxygen. It allows the gas to be stable under very high pressures and contributes its oxygen to the burning process to make for an extremely clean burning fuel, with excess oxygen left over in the process to return to the atmosphere, 12-14%. So just how clean burning is Magnegas? Below is a chart comparing Magnegas to other common hydrocarbon fuels.

Interview - Sterling D. Allan of PES Network interviewed Dr. Ruggero
Maria Santilli on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2006 from 3:00 to 3:55 pm Pacific time,
regarding his MagneGas technology that enables the conversion of the waste
stream into usable fuel.
- Hydrogen
is not the answer - Claude Saint-Jarre says hydrogen would be more
toxic than petroleum since it accelerates the deterioration of oxygen in
air. "The solution is Magnegas, that is non-polluting and derived from
human and animal wastes." (FreeEnergyNews; Feb. 6, 2003)
