Su Auto funciona con BASURA

Some people ask me... "Do you realize what are you doing?" "Are you aware of what you're doing?" And I say: "I don't know, but I'm enjoying a lot and that's the most important." I'm aware of maybe I'm harming powerful interests And I know real stories that aren't urban legends about people who have made vehicles that run on water and who have suddenly disappeared, or have being murdered. But I'm calmed, because I don't have any economic interest with this I have spread it, it gets viral... This

manual has been downloaded a million times all around the world and in different languages. And if someone tries to threathen me I'll say: "Are you thinking of killing everybody?" "It has been downloaded, is in the public domain". So I've peace on mind that won't happen to me. I hope it so. In short, this vehicle doesn't consume gasoline doesn't pollute provides oxygen while it's working and with it, we clean the planet's garbage. Well, I'm Edmundo Ramos, from Anisacate, province of Córdoba, Arg

entina and I'm the creator of Auto a Basura. A project that I hope can be very useful for humanity especially when oil starts to lack, when God wants it to happen, when probably I won't be present, but I hope to leave this world having left a useful print for humanity. Well, on 2008, I realized that everybody moves through oil. All the vehicles in the world run with oil derivates and in all countries the electric power has a big component based in oil. We're using and moving everything like if o

il will be infinite, like if it would never gonna end. But oil is going to end. It's an unavoidable fact. So first, I started to thinking about what will be happen with ambulances, the firemen, the police when oil starts to lack. And then I realized... What's going to happen with agricultural machines which harvest and sow our food? When oil starts to lack, are all of us just going to ride bikes as if nothing? We are going to fight and argue between ourselves. So the idea was: How to replace the

oil from vehicles with something that never's going to end? And when I thought about something without an end, I get it: the garbage. If we neglect we're going to end up covered by garbage. So in 2008 I surfed the internet and searched in Google "how to make a car which runs of garbage". There was nothing. "How to replace oil from garbage", there was nothing. So there were 10 years of investigation from 2008 until 2018. I had to invent formulas, I had to invent tables, I had to assume values un

til in 2018 I made my first garbage gasifier. Basically, it's a garbage gasifier which produces gas from garbage (I call this "gasura") and it consists in a metallic ceiling with a lid, which it's filled with dry garbage and fuel, A hole down where fire is lit and a hole up where smoke exits. I use the smoke. Smoke exits with dust and ashes so it has three filters for make sure the "gasura" arrives as clean as posible to the engine. The first filter is there, it's called Ciclón. You can see wel

l the thicker down here. First things being filtered are these thick particles. Then it follows this short tube which would be a cooler. The second filter is an old oil-soaked air filter from a Torino (IKA-Renault Torino) and the third and last filter, is a plastic bucket with a microfiber towel which filters the most thinniest. It goes from there to the engine. I build it at home, I turned it on for the first time and when I saw its power the calories, the fire from "gasura" I thought it was li

ke CNG. If cars can run on CNG they can run on "gasura". It was on January from 2018. So in the next month, on February, I bought this estate car with a giant engine (2-21), 3,6 liters. I putted the gasifier behind, in the back box. And I spent two years trying to convince my vehicle that it has to work with garbage which was not easy. Even I had a stage of failure where I assumed that it would never works and I discarded the invention, I was thinking about sell the vehicle and I thought I was d

one with the project. And well, after that there was a magical or divine intervention, as you want to call it. After being 11 years and a half trying that my car works with garbage, it was July 2019 I couldn't make it work and finally I thought the project was done, I felt failed. And I was lying right here, in my bed, looking at the ceiling. Thinking about how to sell my car. Of course, I was going to lose money because I had spent more than I was going to receive. It was going to be selled wit

h the gasifier. So I heared a voice, I thought it was myself. And I answered to myself. That voice told me a phrase: "Every failure is a step nearest to success." I thought it was myself and I answered to myself. I replied: "Yes, sure, of course. That's nothing new. I knew that." Lots of people and lots of inventors have said that. With the second phrase I also thought it was myself. And it said: "This is something useful for humanity and we have to make it work". And of course, I answered to my

self, I thought I was answering to myself And I said: "Well, yes, of course. Since eleven years ago this was the original idea of the project and the reason for all the effort." Something useful for humanity without a lucrative or economic objective. But when I heared the third phrase I realized it was not me. The third phrase said: "This is gonna work". And there I realized it was not me, because I've been convinced that this is never gonna work. So well... We let's call it "God". So I said to

God: "I'm not going to spend not a cent more from my money and not a second more of my time in something that won't work." And I stay like this, like "it's OK, that's finished. There's nothing more to talk about". And there something incredible happened. I felt how something gets me up from bed and I fell by the bed. That's crazy, what happened, what's that? I didn't know what to do. And I said: "That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna try to turn on the car again for show God that this doesn't work

." I went, I prepared it, I turned it on... And it worked! On July 2019. Of course, the car didn't start walking but the engine started working. It never happened before. In few months, on 2nd of October of 2019, I went outside with the car working with garbage. It was the first time in my life, the first time in Argentina and maybe the first time in the world. Thanks to God. That was the historical day, 02/10/2019. Some days after I called a patent manager and I told him: "I want to patent it."

Not for an economic objective, because there's not any economic interest. This is a present for humanity. I only did it for protect myself. Because if other person patents it, this person can charge me or ban me to use my own invention. So I did it for protect me. And from this, two question arose: What's the maximum velocity? So one day I hitted the gas: 115 km/h. It's in a video when I got out from route, I opened the hood and the gasoline and the gas were disconnected. I had started the car

with gasura and I got that speed with gasura. And the next question was: What's the maximum route? And well, with my wife, we said: let's make the Route 40. These are 5000 km, from La Quiaca to Río Gallegos using only the garbage we found in each city. And water, because it works with gasura and water. And well... We started last november and we finished this year, on February, on 25th of February. We finished in Cabo Vírgenes which is the 0 km of Route 40. And that's how we fulfill our task wit

h my Auto a Basura: maximum speed and maximum route. The Auto a Basura runs on carbon monoxide, which's a product of the incomplete combustion of residues. Call it garbage, coal... Charred waste. And besides, it works with hydrogen and oxygen, which are a result from water thermolysis. It means that if water is exposed to high temperatures it's divided in hydrogen and oxygen. What feeds the engine is carbon monoxide, hydrogen (both as fuel) and oxygen, of which only a part is used and the other

returns by the exhaust pipe. The car works basing in this principle, which is different to a biodigester. (Biodigester) Is a huge container which ever could enter in a car. It works with wet residues whose in few weeks can produce metan gas, a combustible gas. For make the difference between thermolysis and electrolysis, here we have the example of electrolysis: it divides the water molecule in hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. Instead it, in the Auto a Basura, the water is divided (in oxyg

en and hydrogen) through the temperature. This is the process called thermolysis. A steam train works completely different of a Auto a Basura and a biodigester. Steam train uses the steam's pressure generated in a boilder for move a piston which makes the wheel twist and move. The difference with a steam train is that the steam works with pressure, high pressure. Instead, the Auto a Basura works by absorbtion, with negative pressure which's product of the engine suction. The difference with the

charred waste what is used in the Auto a Basura is charred garbage which is thrown and hasn't any commercial value. The engine is the same original engine with which the vehicle was manufactured. It isn't a special engine which works with "gasura". It's an original engine which works with gasoline, with CNG and with "gasura". That's why I say it's a three-phase motor. Not because of it works with electricity, but because it has three fuels. The only adaptation I've made was this wing nut. We can

see it there. I drive it from the cockpit. When I use it with CNG or with gasoline the wing nut is open. And when I want it works with "gasura" I close the wing nut almost... At most, I leave some space for air entry and the engine's suction inhales the smoke or "gasura" produced by the gasifier. This gasifier has a range of 50 km. So when we decided to make the maximum route, which was the 40 Route, from here to Río Gallegos we couldn't use this gasifier because, if we did, we had to stop each

50 km for recharge it. So, for which I made this gasifier trailer that has a range of 500 km. Basically, this gasifier trailer works with exactly the same principle just like the other one. That one has a drum motor with a capacity of 60 liters which gives me a range of 550 km. This gasifier trailer has three drums of 200 L with a hole down there, just like the other, where it catches fire. The three drums are lit at the same time and from here the smoke or "gasura" exits and goes to the first

filter, that it's just like the other but bigger, called Ciclón. After Ciclón, it passes through this tube that is like a cooler and it goes to the second filter, that it's just like the other but bigger, it's an oil-soaked air filter from a tractor. And the third and the last filter, just like the other, instead of being one bucket, here there are three 20 L plastic buckets with three microfiber towels. And from here, it goes to the engine. BAMBÚ: It has to be revolutionized for drive it, right

? EDMUNDO: Yes, yes. BAMBÚ: Ok. So now we're going to drive 100% with "gasura". EDMUNDO: 100%, it's already selected. BAMBÚ: The rest is absolutely disconnected. // EDMUNDO: Absolutely. BAMBÚ: Ok. My first "gasura" driving. EDMUNDO: That's right. If it turns off, we boot it again with this. BAMBÚ: Ok. Is not going to explode, true? EDMUNDO: Maybe yes. BAMBÚ: So let's go. I think I'm ready. One there... It's done. It already hasn't air. And it's going to turn off. It chokes. If I wouldn't do this

, it keeps turned on and everything turns into ashes. So what I do is choking it and my coal charge remains until the next travel. FABIOLA: When he told me he wanted to create a car which would run on garbage... It was around 2005... And I asked myself: "A car which runs on garbage? How will it be?" But I didn't argue with him. I thought: "He's crazy". He's crazy, I mean... At what point? But well, he told me: "When I retire". "When we return to Argentina I'm gonna make the car which runs on gar

bage because I'll have a lot of free time." So, one time we had arrived, we bought near where we live in that moment. We spent some years getting the house ready. And once we finished remodelating the house, he dedicated to his car. Here starts our travel La Quiaca - Ushuaia... It's gonna be a great feat. EDMUNDO: Or a great failure. But it's sure it's gonna be great. You're not gonna fall, right? FABIOLA: No! All of this gives me the hunch that this is the beginning of a great feat. An historic

al fact. It's the first time that a vehicle runs from North to South using only "gasura", using only industrial waste that we were founding on the route. In my Facebook page, which is called Auto a Basura, it's possible to download the manual for free in Spanish or English. And in this manual there are the analysis from gas and combustion which exit through the exhaust pipe. And it demonstrates not only that the vehicle doesn't consum gasoline but also besides it doesn't pollute. There's oxygen

coming out from the exhaust pipe. So, while I'm on the move, I'm providing oxygen to the environment. As it's said: it's like a tree on wheels. And besides, we clean the world from garbage. What type of garbage? Organic garbage. Nutshells, stone fruits, seeds, pruning waste, wood pieces, coal... The project I'm doing now it's called "Plastigas". I would like that my car and other cars which works with garbage in the future use as fuel plastic garbage so we could clean the world. I think the futu

re is in the "plastigas". Plastic is solid oil. So, it would have to be perfectly possible to transform plastic into fuel for vehicles. My first tests had positive results and I'm focusing in using the plastic from soda bottles. Because in the tests I've made there's no residue left. All 100% of the plastic turned into fuel. I've made some modest pilot tests now I'm making something bigger, more solid, more serious. I'm making a bottle-crusher because since long time ago I wanted to see how to c

rush the bottles but is something very difficult and expensive. Since this has to be accessible to everyone, so I decided to make the bottle-crusher. It means to take away the air from bottle and turn the bottle into a "tile", into a flat form, a crushed bottle. And this it's gonna be perfectly useful for use it in a plastic pyrolyzer. The rule, the common sense, states that plastics which are in contact with food are no toxics. As, for example, soda bottles, food trays, glasses, silobags which

contain the grain... These aren't toxic. And inside the non-toxic plastics, there are plastics which are easier to gasifier and turn into fuel than others. I'm focusing on plastic bottles which I've read they take 500 years to degrade under the sun and which abounds. When I'll do my route with plastigas, God willing, I'm gonna contact with schools, the municipalities which I'm gonna have ahead and I'm gonna ask for collecting plastics, especially plastic bottles, for use them as fuel for continu

e my travel. Each time I went to a city going down from La Quiaca to Río Gallegos, I had to stop in each city and ask what type of residues were generated in that city. Based on that, I continued my travel. When I arrived to San Juan, somebody contacted me through Messenger and WhatsApp a man called Juan Lobos. And I thought that he wanted to find it for taking a selfie. A lot of people want to touch the car, make some photos... So when he came, he's from Las Casuarinas not from San Juan, he tra

velled 50 km for meet me in San Juan and he came with bags filled with coal. I heard that and... He told me: "I have clay ovens, I make bread and all the mornings, when I cleaned the ovens, I was collecting all the coal. You want it?" And I said: "Yes, of course!" Basing on this, thanks to him, I could continue my travel. "Juan Lobos. Las Casuarinas. 25th May dept." For those who start for the first time and replicate it, I recommend to read the manual several times, and see the photos, the vide

os for understanding how the system works before make it. When it's being made, I recommend that the first charges come from charcoal. Even if they have to be bought or paid. Because charcoal is foolproof, it doesn't fails, and is the best for make the firsts tests. In addition, charcoal has to have an especific granulometry. An especific size. Why? Because if the residue, the charcoal, looks too much like dust, it sticks and the system, which works in a bottom-up direction, stops flowing becaus

e of the sticked dust. And if the residue or the charcoal is too much thick or big, the water... I mean, the air passes through the residue's big parts, so what exits isn't pure gas, pure "gasura", it's something mixed with air which takes power away. For filter and shake the charcoal we use two screens. One thin which has 3mm... and everything which is less than 3mm falls. This isn't useful because is too much thin. And everything which is more than 25mm or 30 mm is on that screen. Is thick. So

the way for use it, is this: we put the crushed and chopped charcoal here on the top, everything thick stays on the top (we have to crush it again), everything thin falls (isn't useful) and what remains in the middle, everything smaller than this or bigger than this, this is the charcoal we use for the device. Mechanics from all over the world asked me for a long time what effects gasura has on the engine. So when I finished doing the 5000 km I came here I went to my mechanic, I dismantled the

engine, we took photos and in my Facebook page I made a two-sheet report about gasura's effects on the engine. The most negative and harmful effect was when I used during 4 months the olive pits which have salt. So the negative effects for the engine are especifically the use of salt, hydrochloric acid or caustic soda on the engine. So they burned together... Well, they didn't burn, I mean there was corrosion because of that components. We change them, a pair of modifications were made and I ass

embled the engine again. But I never used again olive's pits so I didn't have this problem anymore. But gasura is exactly the same than CNG. So gasura's effects on the engine are gonna be the same effects as CNG has on a engine. There's no difference. This is a thermostat and it's like a fuel gauge. When the gasifier is full, gas exits with less temperature, comes out at room temperature: 50º, 60º, 70º... (degrees Celsius) As it's emptied, the gas' temperature starts increasing. When gas reaches

approximately 120ºC it means it's full to the half of the charge and it's time to stop ot to refill. For this, I have this thermostat which is regulated at 120ºC. When the thermostat measures this temperature, it makes contact and it turns on a red light here in the dashboard which indicates that is time to stop and refill or time to change the fuel. The operation's principle of the system works because of the engine's absortion which produces the smoke or gasura absortion or suction that is ge

nerated in the gasifier. But when the engine is turned off, when it has to start, the engine doesn't generate suction. So for start the gasifier I have a little fan which is turned on from here that produces the initial suction for start the gasifier. At the beginning, we can see a white smoke that is steam then we start to see more transparent smoke and when it's totally transparent (it can be a little bit coloured) I set fire. When it sets fire and the flame doesn't take off... If it takes off

, it means there's still air, it's purging air. But when the flame doesn't take off it means all the system has been purged. And it's ready to start. So I connect this with the hose which goes to the engine, I start the engine, and once the engine is working and is producing the suction I can let it there or take it off because I just don't need the fan or the starter... The starter fan. It's obvious that there are more and more milions of vehicles in the world. And it's obvious that in some mom

ent there's going to be a lack of oil. This is gonna be a moment of big tension. Not only because of the transport vehicles, but also because of the machines which plant and harvest our food. I think we should start a campaign to anticipate an unavoidable event which is the oil's lack, so we don’t get caught unawares, because this is gonna cause lots of suffering. My humble Auto a Basura is a possibility not only for been able to stop using fossil fuel but also clean the planet. At the moment, i

t's just organic garbage. Hope, God willing, I hope I can get it with plastic garbage. And... I hope people, companies, governments should look for other possibilities. Call it hydrogen, call it alternative energies... For treating to anticipate something unavoidable and which can hit us as a piano falling into our heads. This is my desire. Unfortunately it's also a reality that humans are children of rigor and until our shoes are tighten us til bother, we're not gonna change. So I hope at that

moment it won't be too late. While I was making the Auto a Basura, I always felt accompanied by God. In silence, without intervention, as if He aprobed what I was doing. And when I felt failed, He stood me up and makes me follow with this. I trust that He is accompaning all of us, all the humanity and if we really open to him, He's gonna help us to overcome the difficult moments. When I give conferences in high school or college there are people who is 20, 30... 25 years old. And I don't believe

that we will have more than 40 years of oil, as maximum. Oil is going to lack in 20 or 30 years... In 40 years I think there will be no oil left for massive use. So I tell to all of them: "All of you are going to live in a world without oil. And all of us are accustomed... and nowadays we all move through oil. So let's treat to guide our lifes, treat to anticipate ourselves to this unavoidable fact so we don’t get caught off guard, treat to educate ourselves in which we like, in which we're pas

sionate about, always trying to put it at the service of others. Not only looking for a economic profit but also doing something that we feel passionated about and fill with it and it can be something useful to the others." Because when we feel useful, when we feel that we're making something good for humanity this really fills us and gives us happiness.
