A small British company has produced the first "petrol from air" using a revolutionary technology that promises to solve the energy crisis as well as helping to curb global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Air Fuel Synthesis in Stockton-on-Tees has produced five litres of petrol since August when it switched on a small refinery that manufactures gasoline from carbon dioxide and water vapour.

The company hopes that within two years it will build a larger, commercial-scale plant capable of producing a ton of petrol a day. It also plans to produce green aviation fuel to make airline travel more carbon-neutral.

Going from 5 litres in 2 months to 1 ton in 1 day sounds like it'll take more than just a bigger refinery.

How much energy does the process take?
What are the catalysts?

Nah we don't need that.. We have all those suppressed free energy motors thanks to the oil company.. They just killed the inventors. The government has been keeping us all those great technologies since Nikola Tesla's time.

I knew it! The second law of thermodynamics is a lie, spread by the government in order to keep people buying oil. It is time for the energy revolution! Let everyone know that increasing entropy is state enforced, and rebel!

I think overunity can be achieve. Yes we put power into a machine and we lose some through friction and heat and as it seems overunity is impossible. But remember, we have the magnetic pull of the earth, the radiation of the sun, and other invisible forces around us that we can harness to produce extra energy and that makes overunity achievable.

Remember the crystal radio? It can run without a battery by harnessing Radio Waves.

And there's a rumor that somewhere, a village is using a modified version of the Electrostatic Motor that produces overunity that powers up the entire village.
