Re: [Biofuel] Re-inventing the 3 wheel
Regardless, there is plenty of room in the N. American market for 3 wheelers, perhaps biodiesel hybrids Personally, I think these particular models are kind of ugly but I could see an independent co producing something not so cutesey and more utilitarian. There is a Quebec entrepreneur who makes three wheelers with motor cycle engines, only his design uses a single massive back wheel and 2 smaller front wheels. He has sold several hundred at $18,000 CAN each. There is certainly a market for mail carriers, deliveries and such. Designed well with the right kind of body shell these vehicles are kind of cool, regards t http://blog.alternate-energy.net/entries/entry_22.php ---Original Message--- From: Doug Younker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Re-inventing the 3 wheel Sent: 16 Oct '07 06:30 No matter the Japanese auto manufacturers spin it, the car is going to be basically a machine for getting around.

[Biofuel] First Jet aircraft flight powered by 100% biofuel.
www.greenflightinternational.com/pr.htm Contact: Doug Rodante Green Flight International (727) 415-7253 WORLDS FIRST JET FLIGHT POWERED ENTIRELY ON RENEWABLE BIODIESEL FUEL Green Flight International and Biodiesel Solutions partner to set a new precedent in the use of renewable fuels in transportation. RENO, NV. (October 5) Aviation history was made earlier this week in the high desert at the Reno-Stead Airport when an L-29 military aircraft piloted by Carol Sugars and Douglas Rodante succeeded in completing the worlds first jet flight powered solely by 100% biodiesel fuel. The Czechoslovakian-made aircraft is rated to fly on a variety of fuels including heating oil, making it the preferred platform for testing biodiesel in jet engines. The experimental test flights were conducted starting with a blend of jet fuel and biodiesel. The engine data was measured and the performance was evaluated and found acceptable for continued use, eventually resulting in the landmark flight using 100% renewable biodiesel fuel. According to Chief Pilot Carol Sugars who wrote and conducted the test program, As we gradually increased the amount of biodiesel in the fuel blend, the data confirmed that the aircraft continued to perform well, giving me the confidence to transition to 100% biodiesel. Flight tests were conducted up to an altitude of 17,000 feet showing no significant difference in performance compared to conventional jet fuel. This test program between Green Flight International and Biodiesel Solutions was a unique and exciting opportunity to show what can be done in renewable fuels. said Rudi Wiedemann, president of Biodiesel Solutions. The very idea of using 100% biodiesel to fly a jet aircraft makes a compelling statement about the possibilities for the future of renewable energy and a healthier planet. Out of concern for our global environment, Green Flight International was conceived by Douglas Rodante in April 2006 to serve as a platform for future development in the use of environmentally-friendly fuels in aviation and elsewhere. It is imperative that the global community take immediate steps to reduce our carbon footprint, because we can no longer afford to wait while our environment continues to degrade. said Rodante. By implementing even a small amount of bio-degradable fuel in our transportation system we can significantly reduce the CO2 (greenhouse gasses) and NOx (the precursor to smog) that contribute to global warming. In the near future Green Flight International expects to announce plans for another record-breaking aviation event. They invite aviation and biofuel enthusiasts to inquire about how they might be able to participate in this exciting venture.

[Biofuel] which solar heating option is better?
i was reading through instructables and found this interesting little gizmo- http://www.instructables.com/id/Solar-Heater/?ALLSTEPS -and i remembered a conversation with my boss this morning before i went home, and got to thinking. which would be better: having the south curtains open all day, or using a somewhat active collector like this? i have a couple of concepts to do with interior window fixtures and stuff, but im not really sure which to use, or if i should even bother. any ideas? jason _ Climb to the top of the charts!

Re: [Biofuel] which solar heating option is better?
Hi Jason I deal with this kind of stuff from time to time; hopefully I'll be doing that more in the near future. In any event I've given it a lot of thought. What kind of floor construction do you have? If it's heavy construction directly on the ground, it could be as simple as laying some black slate on the floor just inside the south windows. That could even be non-structural, e.g. a wooden box filled with sand, and something like slate on top, if the floor is light construction and the joists can take it. Here's a site I've come across: http://www.greenhouse.gov.au/yourhome/technical/fs14.htm It's an Australian site, so you'll have to swop north and south.

[Biofuel] Off Topic - More on the Holocaust if you can stand it.
Hi Keith and all List Members I like the part about Fred Dr. Death Leuchter, the designer of the US Prison system's execution apparatus, as an expert defense witness who tested purported execution gas chambers ON-SITE in Auschwitz, Poland tesitified in a court of law under oath and determined they had never been used to kill anyone. The other question I have is this. The war machine runs on fuel. During a time of war for Germany, fuel would be incredibly important. So why would the Germans waste precious fuel to transport all the prisioners to the camps if they intended to kill them? Wouldn't a sharp bayonette be much cheaper? Best Regards, Peter G. Thailand 20th Anniversary of the Great Holocaust Trial by Michael A. Hoffman II Copyright 2005 by revisionisthistory.org January 7, 2005 marks the 20th anniversary of what came to be known throughout the world as The Great Holocaust Trial thanks chiefly to the drive, determination, courage and vision of one man, Ernst Zundel, supported by those he inspired. In 1985 Zundel was a German immigrant residing in Toronto, Canada where he had built a highly successful advertising and graphic arts business based in a rambling Victorian mansion in the bohemian Cabbagetown section of metropolitan Toronto. Zundel viewed the Six million story as a form of mental genocide against the German people; ostensibly a noble tale of the epoch struggle for human rights that in actuality was a form of devious hate propaganda, leveling every conceivable blood libel at the Germans and branding them with the Mark of Cain. Having survived the Allied firebombing of his native city of Pforzheim as a child, Zundel was well familiar with the war crimes of the hypocritical Allies and he made it his life's work to clear the name of his own people. For this commendable enterprise, Zundel had his mailing privileges revoked by the Canadian government in 1983, forcing him to open a post office box in Buffalo, New York and send a messenger to commute hundreds of miles just to receive mail. In 1985 he was charged under an archaic False News provision of an old Edwardian municipal code, for having published the pamphlet Did Six Million Really Die? He faced two years in prison if convicted. In reponse Zundel put the so-called Holocaust itself on trial, hiring a little-known maverick lawyer from British Columbia, Douglas Christie, to argue his case before Judge Hugh Locke. Seated next to Christie was the learned revisionist historian Prof. Robert Faurisson of France, who guided Christie's withering cross-examination of a long train of saintly 'Holocaust' survivors offered by the Crown. Zundel's defense was initially regarded by the press and public as preposterous. How can anyone deny the 'Holocaust? was the incredulous response to the news that Zundel would vigorously defend himself and the free speech rights of all Canadians. The trial was expected to be a quick and ignominious rout of Zundel and his motley crew. How wrong the odds-makers were! For the first time in history the holy survivors finally had to submit their testimony to scrutiny, to the rules of evidence and cross-examination, something that has never happened before or since. Seated in the press gallery, I watched as my colleagues of the fourth estate grew ever more surprised and shocked at the amazing admissions Christie and Faurisson elicited from the eyewitnesses to the gas chambers. TV reporters like Claud Adams and journalists from the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail produced footage and headlines that turned Canada upside down. Canadian readers and viewers learned that there was no scientific evidence for homicidal gas chambers, that homicidal gassings (as opposed to the German use of Zyklon B as a life-saving prophylactic against the deadly typhus louse), were a rumor that the inmates heard but never actually witnessed for themselves--these were statements obtained by Mr. Christie from the prosecution's own vaunted Auschwitz eyewitnesses! In March of 1985 Zundel was convicted by a cowardly jury that had followed the prejudicial advisories of a bent judge; but the conviction was reversed on appeal and Zundel went to trial again in 1988, eventually winning a Supreme Court decision for free speech in Canada. The 1988 trial is more well known in revisionist circles. Zundel was famous by then and the appearance of Fred Dr. Death Leuchter, the designer of the US Prison system's execution apparatus, as an expert defense witness who tested purported execution gas chambers on-site in Auschwitz, Poland and determined they had never been used to kill anyone, created an international sensation. Still, for this reporter, the 1985 trial has the greatest significance. Having been badly burned the first time around (Dr. Raul Hilberg, the preeminent historian of the Six Million admitted on the witness stand in the first trial that there was no scientific evidence for gassings--I'm at a loss he said when asked to
