| Surfing Monk (TM) is a trademark
for John Heartson's record and music companies. Surfing Monk (TM) reflects a way of life and a philosophy including
integrity, compassion, strength, sustainability, truth and spirituality.
Inspiration for the Name
While recording "The Sound of Angels Crying"
I started envisioning the image of a Tibetan Buddhist monk on a surfboard in
my mind. Amidst all the turmoil that may occur around him in the world,
this surfing monk, that I imagined, retained his inner peace while riding the waves
out. "Ride the waves feel the joy, don't close your heart and drown in
sorrow". Surfing Monk (TM) is now my trademark, the name of my record
company, music publishing company and my bio-diesel solar powered motor home.
Surfing Monk (TM) 1-A , the RV
The "Surfing Monk 1-A" is a 1993/94 Serro
Scotty 29' HiLander equipped with a Cummins Turbo charged Inter cooled Diesel
Engine. This engine (as all diesel engines) can run on non-polluting,
renewable vegetable oil. My first run from New Hampshire to Albany was on canola
oil. No pollution and it smells great too. I then drove across the United State
using a 50/50 blend of used fry oil and diesel. The RV is also equipped with 2 large
photo-voltaic panels (solar electric panels) which provide me with pollution free
silent electricity. She also has a 2 cylinder propane powered generator which is rarely
used. (I'll post pictures eventually) Currently on a high cholesterol diet of used
fryolater oil mixed about 50% with fossil based Diesel fuel which requires a few simple
procedures.
Instead of mixing used fry oil in with Diesel, you can make
Bio Diesel which requires lye, alcohol and small chemistry lab in your garage. Bio Diesel
requires no modifications to the engine. I recommend Joshua Tickells book, "From the
Fryer to the Fuel Tank"
Willie Bio Diesel 
If you do not have the time or the desire to get down and
greasy, stop at a fuel station that sells Bio Diesel like Willie Nelson's Biodiesel . I visited
Carls Corner just south of Italy Texas. Had a great meal, some great conversation and the
staff gave me a bunch of used fry oil.
Hey Carl and Willie, shouldn't you be making your Bio
Diesel out of this stuff?
While I was in Maui, I saw "Powered by
BioDiesel" decals on new and old Diesel cars and trucks. A little investigation led
me to Pacific BioDiesel where I met Kelly Takaya King. Kelly told me the story of how she
and her friend, Mrs. Willie Nelson got together and turned our favorite country
singer" onto the whole BioDiesel business. Kelly also told me that Pacific BioDiesel
is designing and building a new BioDiesel facility at Carls Corner in Texas. Grand opening
scheduled for January 2006. Hope I can be there. "Make BioDiesel not
war"
Visit the DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center
The DOE has an Alternate Fuel Station locator feature
+ Information on biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas, and
propane. More than 3,000 documents, interactive fuel station mapping system, current
listings of available alternative fuel vehicles, and lots of alternative fuels information
and related links.
Great work everyone at the DOE! This is a fantastic
resource. Thanks!!!! John Heartson
Aqueous Fuels (50% Water 50% Fossil Fuels)
Techniques also now exist to blend water with fuel. Chevron
bought the patent for A-21 aqueous fuel (half water half gasoline micro-emulsion)
Also a fellow in England developed a micro-emulsion water+Diesel fuel.
Cold Fusion Also cold fusion is real and
water supplies the fuel. But the DoD coincidentally and suddenly classified cold fusion as
a terrorist threat right after Dr. Eugene Mallove, expert in cold fusion, was interviewed
by Popular Mechanics magazine (Aug 2004) Also coincidentally, Dr. Mallove was brutally
murdered 4 days after being interviewed by the magazine. I had to break the sad news to
Paul N. (Dr. Diesel) the man that taught me about veggie oil who turned out to be a friend
of Dr. Mallove. Paul was on his way to visit Dr. Mallove when I met him through what
turned out to be fate.
Using cold fusion, with water as the source for
hydrogen..twenty gallons of water has enough energy to power a car 100,000 miles according
to the experts. Research it, read about it. Start here on my Future Page.
