  In this paper we initiate studies of the emerging new forms of energy by
using as a representative example the new combustible gas called AquaFuel,
discovered and patented by William H. Richardson, jr., whose rights are now
owned by Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. (TTL), of Largo, Florida. In essence,
AquaFuel is a new energy converter capable of transforming Carbon and water
into a new combustible gas via an electric discharge. We show that AquaFuel can
be produced easily, safely and rapidly in large amounts, and exhibits greatly
reduced emission pollutants as compared to fossil fuels of current use. Despite
its simplicity, the chemical and physical characteristics of AquaFuel are
largely unknown at this writing. We then review nine basic experimental
measurements which are necessary for a scientific appraisal of AquaFuel. We
outline the limitations of quantum mechanics and chemistry for the treatment of
{\it new} forms of energy, namely, energies which by definition should be {\it
beyond} said theories. We finally point out the availability of broader
theories specifically constructed for the study of new energies and point out
available applications.
