On July 31, 2009, Sterling D. Allan interviewed Paul Pantone, at the Nativo Lodge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, as part of the ExtraOrdinary Technology conference. Paul is the inventor of the GEET Plasma Reactor which uses the engine exhaust flowing in one direction to heat up incoming fuel flowing in the opposite direction, around a rod of a specific length, per the type of fuel, to create a plasma gas which then performs in a very unusual way in the engine to profoundly increase the mileage of the vehicle and reduce emissions. It also enables the vehicle to run on a wide variety of fuels, including water, inasmuch as the plasma-created gas is the operating substance. Paul gave a fantastic presentation on the technology at the conference later on July 31, 2009. Unfortunately, the corded microphone appears to not have been plugged in properly, so the sound quality for this interview is not that great. We hope to add some sub-titles. Also, the guy running the camera framed the presentation a bit oddly in some places, perhaps trying to avoid the backlighting. So no, it’s not the best shoot, but here it is anyway. Don’t be too mean on the video ratings. ‘Wish you were here. For more info on the GEET, go to peswiki.com The official website is GEET.nl Here’s a link for more info on the conference peswiki.com
