I am thinking of buying a Jeep Liberty diesel. I live in Massachusetts
and they do not sell diesel cars any more because of the high standard
of emissions. I would have to go out of state to buy this Jeep.



These vehicles must pass an emissions test every other year. Mind you,
you can buy a full size pickup with a diesel and they have a different
standard to use.



Would the use of 20% biodiesel let this vehicle pass this California
emissions test?  What are these people looking at that makes it fail
emissions. What can I do about it?

Hi Derick,

I too am curios about this, but isnt 275 deg F on the edge of the
envelope Bio? I would like to try this as well but instead use a vacume
to keep the temp down. how much ethanol did you recover? That alone may
make it worth while.

  I have pondering this for some time but figured I should get some
  success with making fuel first.
 
  Since alcohol is added from time to time to storage tanks so it will
  mix with the water and thus the blended alcohol water mixes with the
  fuel.
 
  This being the said, I wondered if the wash could be shortened or less
  of a waste problem by distilling the methanol out of the finished
  product before washing.
 
  I have just finished a 120 liter batch I pulled off 1 liter of fuel
  stock ¸ I put in a old pressure cooker with the steam vent replaced
  with a hose barb and connected it to my evaporator. Turned the flame
  on and heated to 275 deg F for 10 minutes or so. Let it cool a bit and
  pored it into a pet bottle added the wash water shook it hard it
  separated in just a few minutes. The other half was just put in a pet
  bottle and wash water was added and shook it hard although it is
  separating not even close to the same speed as the demethanoled batch.
 
  Is there any problem with this process? I wouldnât ask but I canât
  find anything in the archives.
 
  Thanks Derick

Hi Buck, Ray, Mike and all

its galsss and beat the heack out of it wiaht something like a piece of 
rebar, and why woulddd you want to take it out, as its inert, buck,


its same makeup as old ceramic cookkkpot, glasss over steel, any 
denting poppps the glass o but why would u buck,


Because it's going to get real hot!


Can anyone tell me 1) what the lining inside a natural gas fired water
heater tank is made of, and 2) are there any known ways of removing it
without damaging the tank beneath?

I am in the very early stages of helping a neighbor build a waste oil
heater.  He has a surplus of these tanks, but very little in the way of
money.  Since I have already built one, and it is still working just fine 
I

agreed to help him build his.


Is that a Mother Earth News heater Mike? This one:

http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/me4.html
Mother Earth: Waste Oil Heater

If so, which design did you/will you use? - the original, with no power 
required, or the new-fangled one some of us have been working on, with a 
forced air supply?


It's said the original design does not burn hot enough for safe and clean 
combustion of modern lube oil, which has much higher burning temps than it 
did 25 years ago when the heater was designed. It seems though that some 
people who've built them don't agree with that, they find it works just 
fine. What do you think?


I don't know about this because we've never tried it with waste lube oil. 
We have one built to the original design, here:


http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/me7.html
Journey to Forever's Waste Oil Heater

But we've only ever used it with WVO, as we'd intended, and it works fine. 
We're using it right now. It makes all the difference to keeping this old 
house warm.


It doesn't burn hot enough for clean combustion of the glycerin by-product 
from making biodiesel though - it does burn it, but it quickly gets gunged 
up. This is why we've been working on the forced-air design. We should be 
testing it soon.


Best wishes

Keith



All these plans are on temporary hold though
because neither of us genius's knew that these tanks were lined.  Oh 
well,

plenty of time for more planning and perhaps one more beer.  Any info or
guidance will be greatly appreciated.

I visited a diesel service company in the summer and they had some framed
exploded view pump posters on their walls, Bosch, Lucas, Standyne etc but
there was no way they were going to tell me where they got them. I tried to
get in touch with that company in the UK which took over the Lucas CAV
systems and others (forget the name at the moment) but it's a huge
conglomerate and I got nowhere at all.

Well Buck, you seem to be very knowledgeable on this subject, what I am
trying to do is figure out how a LucasCAV rotary pump could be modified to
tolerate filtered and heated svo/wvo. I have heard that 'grooving the 
vanes'

might be an idea but quite honestly I really don't know what the guy was
talking about as I have never been inside any pump ever. I would though if 
I

thought I knew a bit about what I was doing and therefore I have been
looking high and low for a book or indeed an 'exploded view' poster. So of
course I am wondering if you or any other list member has a source for this
information and would be prepared to share.

Thanks

I only rebuilt the injector pumps ounce per pump and they was only running
on dino-diesel. The «88 has turned over 500 000 km now so perhaps are the
replacement part better than original... Quite right about the sulphur,
Sweden often want to be world leading in environmental issues and our 
diesel

is weary low sulphur. That causes a lot of problems for car and trucks and
most diesel drivers ad extra lubricants as STP or RedLine. I have a Fiat
diesel that refuses to pump fuel without RedLine Additive. Perhaps shall I
try with a few percent B100 or SVO instead? :-)

Anyone knows where to order the stainless steel shock coupler?

 Hello Ed, welcome back

 Mats: I think Buck was saying that that part broke apart on diesel
 fuel, not on biodiesel or SVO, wasn't he?

 In any case, SVO is not nearly as good a solvent as biodiesel.  The
 issue with high percentage blends of biodiesel and B100 is that it's
 a solvent that attacks the pump seals.

 That's the theory, but is it really an issue? Dino-diesel seems to be
 just as corrosive, even when it's not LSD or ULSD. After all this
 time, do we actually have a clear-cut case of pump seals being
 corroded by biodiesel? We do hear of corroded seals, but I don't know
 of any where biodiesel was proven to be the culprit, or the sole
 culprit. As an issue I think it's overrated. If anyone is concerned
 about biodiesel rotting their pump seals I'd say go ahead and do it,
 it's unlikely to happen, if it does happen it's as likely to be a
 natural death anyway, and it's unlikely to be a sudden catastrophe,
 you'll have warning.

 Best wishes

 Keith


 SVO does not do that, not to any great extent at least. The issue
 with SVO, on the other hand is viscosity. Heating it to 70C
 (roughly) gets it into the range that it can be tolerated by pumps -
 some tolerate it better than others. Inline pumps do best, but many
 rotary pumps do ok as well. There are lots of Stanadyne pumps using
 heated vegoil.

 If your pump has had to be rebuilt a few times, on diesel, this is
 because it was subjected to low sulphur diesel, most likely. That
 fuel does not provide adequate lubricity. Interestingly, only 0.1%
 addition of a Canola (rapeseed) derived lubricity additive would
 have likely saved the pump!

 If you use cold pressed rapeseed oil, heated, two tank system, I
 think you've have very good chances of success with SVO.

 There is for example a John Deere tractor (in Sweden) with a Roosa
 pump - over 600 hours I believe, on rapeseed SVO.

Alex: Do yourself a big favor.  If you have never dealt with a head gasket,
take the engine to a reputable mechanic and have them check out the head
before replacement.  Then they will install the head in the proper 
sequence,

torque the bolts in the proper sequence and adjust the valves if they are
solid  lifters.  You can do this yourself but a diesel engine is not a good
platform to be educated on.  You will make some mistake and it will be
costly.  Sorry. Gene

Subject: Re: [Biofuel] old diesel engine


Well, kinda correct. Different engines have different
configurations, but for a standard inline four stroke
engine here's how it is: The block has the cylinders
in it with the pistons running up and down inside
them. To close them off to get compression there's a
big chunk of metal (the head) that bolts to the top of
the whole engine block to seal it off. This is also
where the valves are kept. The head gasket is a large
flat sheet of sealing material (can be metal or fiber)
with holes in it to allow the bolts to go thru, the
coolant and oil to flow, and for the cylinders. The
head gasket sits between the head and the block -
sandwiched.

As far as the torques that the bolts get tightened to
- it's likely higher for a diesel, but I don't know
them by heart. I look it up every time I do a job
cause for every car they're different. Just depends on
how it's all engineered.

But yes, doing a head gasket job on a diesel is almost
exactly the same as on a gas engine - just surface
differences. If you get a good service manual it will
lead you thru the job step by step.

this is my first ever message ( Please forgive

I have so far only used the single stage method
 but will in time start
the two stage method.
 
 i have limited knowlage about diesel engines my
 first question is
rebuilding a diesel engine much different to
 rebuilding a petrol
engine ? the reason i ask is i have been offered
 a old diesel for
testing which is said to have a blown head
 gasket (oil is getting into
the coolant would this be a the head gasket or

RE: Fw: [biofuel] Cloudy Biodiesel ZZaagaind

2004-09-28 Thread Buck Williams


the wassshed ceramic filter is an analytic tooll not production, it is the 
siaze and thiacknesss of small coffee filter,,,and made from very samalll 
ceramic fiber, it does not degrade in almost any sloution so that nothing 
will contaminateee the filtratee ,, what i said was if he wanted to fin 
what the clousdy crystals were,, i suggested to chill some fuel and run it 
thruuu washed ceramic filter,, so that the cloudy stuff woudl stay in the 
filter and be esxamined, 





 What's this washed 
ceramic filter? The links I read

about making biodiesel don't say anything about
filtering.

Ken

I'm also wondering if they are referring to a distillation process. When
I recently heard about glass doughnuts used in glass columns to collect
hydrogen peroxide, I tried to find a few.  My associate thought that
they may be referring to Raschig Rings and I copied out an ad from a
chemical supply company about the rings as seen below.

Ceramic rings have been mentioned in the past.  However, the ones used
in the peroxide capture column were clear glass.  Since one biofuel
ethanol producer suggests using marbles in the three inch still, I
thought the glass doughnuts could offer more surface area.  Most of the
distillers talk about stainless steel scrubbers.  Cost and effectiveness
are important.  More information is appreciated.

Peggy

PURPOSE AND BENEFITS
AquaVet's Raschig Rings are an efficient biological and coarse
mechanical filtration product for use in closed system aquaculture. They
are particularly appropriate for high flow power filters, with either
open or enclosed filter cartridges, because Raschig Rings easily handle
high water flow rates and resist clogging. The rings break up the water
flow through the filter, preventing channeling or bypassing of the
water around the filter materials.

Raschig Rings provide an excellent mechanical filtration, promote
extensive biological filtration, and enhance the effectiveness of
subsequent filter materials.



BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION
Raschig Rings have proven extremely effective in promoting biological
filtration, because they are an exceptionally good base for nitrifying
bacteria. Constructed of a porous ceramic stoneware; Raschig Rings
possesses a positive electronic change, so slight it is generally
unnoticed, which attracts the nitrifying bacteria needed for biological
filtration.

The open ring or noodle shape, combined with the porous nature of the
stoneware, provide a tremendous surface area which can support a
population of billions of bacteria in a relatively small filter
compartment area.

MECHANICAL FILTRATION
Raschig Rings are a very effective mechanical filtering material,
especially in coarse screening. Mechanically the filter rings break up
the water flow through the filter forcing the water flow to spread
evenly without channeling or bypassing or clogging the filter materials.
The rings regain and entrap large particles of debris which are worn
down by water turbulence and bacterial action.

SPECIFICATIONS
Raschig Rings are constructed of high-temperature-furnace-fired ceramic
stoneware rings with hollow centers, approximately 9/16 (15 mm) in
diameter and 5/8 (16 mm) in over all length. Each filter ring has a
little over 1 square inch of outer surface area; 1 lb. of Raschig Rings
contains about 300 filter rings, with 300 sq. inches of available outer
surface area. These figures do not consider the microscopic small
surface cavities and porosity of the ceramic material. There are about
10,000 Raschig Rings per cubic foot, with about 10,000 sq. inches of
available outer surface area. The approximate weight per cubic foot of
Raschig Rings is 55 lbs. Packed Raschig Rings have about 65% free space.

STABILITY
Raschig Rings are durable, long lasting, and stable indefinitely. They
require no special handling procedures. Raschig Rings require only a
periodic rinsing to remain effective. Washing and treating with soap,
household cleansers, and cleaning chemicals do not interfere with its
electronic charge.
COMPATIBILITIES
Raschig Rings do not affect, and are not affected by water quality,
medications, or water conditioners. Raschig Rings are nontoxic and
harmless to plants, fishes and invertebrates.

Greetings Todd,

Actually paper adobe stands up real well, especially if it is stuccoed.  My 
humidity is worse in the winter, since that is when we get liquid sunshine. 
grin  I am looking into rice husk ash as a way to make the paper adobe 
more fire proof and perhaps help it withstand the weather better.  Bales 
must be paid for, hauled in by truck and are a 2 man job to stack.  Paper 
adobe uses my heavy clay and waste paper of which lots is available 
locally.  Paper adobe is a one man job, so I can work on it while my DH is 
at work.  Also, the paper adobe is much lighter requiring a less 
substantial foundation for the building.


Each climate has it's own demands, what works well in one place is not the 
correct solution for everywhere.  If we search, we can find a solution that 
will work for our own climate that is good for Mother Earth as well, if we 
are lucky enough that the government does not interfere.  By the way, I 
have left paper adobe out in the winter in the rain and had it survive with 
only about 20% disintegration, not bad for dirt and paper.


The big problem with traditional construction is termites.  Either I would 
have to put the building up on posts about 3 feet off the ground or do 
chemical termite treatments.  It is very difficult to build up in the air 
and have the building with stand the storms we get.  I am tearing down a 
traditional construction built this way due to storm damage.  Winds of 100 
mph gusting to 130 mph are not unusual here.  The buildings wind up being 
so tall, since 10 foot ceilings are a real benefit with our heat, that it 
is scary working on the upper walls and roof.  We do not use a work crew, I 
do most of the building myself.


Bright Blessings,
Kim

You could put the matter to test quite simply. Build a six bale yard bench

Construction in winter might also address the humidity issue in the

of open bales.

If all else fails, there's still conventional thick-wall or
dual-wallconstruction, high R insullation and radiant barriers.

 Greetings Doug,

 Actually, unless you are rich and can afford a large construction crew,
 your bales are going to get wet during construction, so knowing how 
they
 will react is important.  A water proof covering that does not breath 
will
 rot bales faster than leaving them outside due to condensation.  There 
is
 no way in an extremely humid climate to get real dry bales, they are 
going
 to have a fairly high humidity.  Seal them in and let the weather 
happen,

 and temperature dropping 40degrees F in 10 minutes are not unusual as a
 blue northern blows in, and you have a major condensation problem in 
your
 wall.  Considering that I have watched fire ants eat through concrete, 
I

do
 not believe that it is possible to seal the critters out of any wall,
 eventually they will be in your bale wall.

 I make it a habit to test materials in the harshest kind of tests 
before I

 build with them.  I want to know how much damage the weather can do to
 them.  I have been hit once already by a tornado, winds of 130 mph have
 happened more than once.  Buildings do get damaged in storms, it takes
time
 to repair the damage, especially since the living must be cared for
 first.  If the trees and plants need attention or if the shelters for 
the

 animals need attention, that must be done before the house.

 In an ideal world you may be able to keep your bales perfect, but I 
don't

 live there.

 Bright Blessings,
 Kim

Subject: [Biofuel] Changing Government Agendasl
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2004 23:45:02 -0500

Hello Ron,

Thank you for the informative summary and the links

  I find it interesting that a number of states such as Minnesota,
  Iowa, Wisconsin, North  South Dakota, California, Nebraska to
  name few around the USA have introduced alternative biofuel
  such as ethanol into not only the government transportation mix
  but also to the public which may have had something to do with
  public opinion or was there some other reasons for it.


There is another news source from BBI which headlines each new E85 pump
that opens for the public and that number grows weekly.  Also the new
cars for 2005 will feature many ethanol compatible models from economy
models to luxury vehicles and work trucks.

And you are correct; government is a major factor in helping a
multimillion dollar facility become profitable.  However, at the last
International Fuel Ethanol Workshop, the statistics showed that if we
continue to rely on corn as a mainstay for fuel ethanol, we will not
satisfy the fuel additive potential much less change to a primarily
biofuel/ethanol alternative.  And so the government is now pouring
hundreds of thousands of dollars into things like hull-less barley--a
few years back it was sweet potatoes.

The real innovation comes with cellulosic processing.  This is and will
remain the way of the future.  Researchers have been working toward
advanced yeast propagation and now the emphasis is on enzyme variation.

The point is that it is possible to use any and all cellulose-based
biomass as a fuel ethanol feedstock.  RIGHT NOW!  We do not have to
follow the previous expensive processing methods of changing a food
(corn) into ethanol via a beverage quality technology.  The processing
can be altered to produce ethanol faster and less expensively, by
smaller groups, for local fuel use and also produce an excess to network
into sales cooperatives--right where you live--anywhere USA that has
biomass growth potential.  I think I already mentioned that a neighbor
made one gallon of ethanol from five cactus leaf pads.  Do you know that
that means?  It means that land growth potential just doubled.  Our next
fuel ethanol start-up will be wood-chip and waste based.  We plan on
over a million gallons a year.  This is a small, community-based
coalition.  Another facility we are helping in South Texas will only
produce 30,000 gallons a year in the beginning and it will be done less
expensively than the major producers.

When you read that the farmers own the ethanol coops, you must realize
that agribusiness caters to the industrial farmer more than the rural
farmer with several hundred acres.  There are crops that can produce
more ethanol per acre with multiple annual harvests, and not require the
expense associated with growing corn.  My associate's research on
cattail rhizomes proved a capacity of over 1000 gallons per acre from
the roots alone.  Now our new processing technology will give an even
higher yield.

Without the sale of the cake--wet or dry and other byproducts, the
profits for corn ethanol production would not be good enough to be
competitive.  Also, without the government subsidies, tax breaks, and
other incentives, it could not compete as an alternative fuel.  This
must change.  And it can.  And it will... as soon as small, rural
economic development takes hold and cooperatives process biofuels
through cellulosic breakdown.

When coalitions from grassroots locations form small coops to take care
of their own fuel needs, it will be a start.  It doesn't require a
minimum of four and a half million dollars to start an ethanol
production plant like industry and government want us to believe.  If
you would like to discuss this off list or if you are truly interested
in setting up a coalition in the United States, we can help.  Each
individual site is different.  The concept could also work in foreign
countries, but I'm not familiar with the land ownership, politics, and
restrictions from other places, so I can't speak about other countries.
Have you seen http://www.alcohol4fuel.com/id36.html?  Robert details an
easy way to begin real independence with links to another thousand pages
of information.  Robert is one of our company founders.  There is a
whole lot more in innovation coming very soon--with or without

Hi,

Keith thanks for  the reminder of an excellent resource.  From Kim's
posts it seems the conditions in that part of Texas may not allow for many
of those idea be put to use.  Too bad foxfire like projects didn't occur in
all regions of the U. S. to preserve the history of the old ways, that way
information pertinent  to Kim's location would be available.  I'm sure it's
available but it may take hours of research to find it in libraries and
such.

Hi,

I just recalled an article that was in a Rodale Press monthly
publication that was a passive refrigerator, ice box to be accurate,
project.  As I recall it had a refrigerant loop with the condenser outside
the building under the shaded eaves of theroof and the evaporator an
insulated box with water in a partition.  I believe over time the passive
unit was supposed to freeze the water into ice.  Problem is I can't 
remember

the name of the magazine to even begin a search.

One of the advantages of English is that it can be understood when spoken

Slow reading, but I was able to get through it.

This is why anagrams can be so interesting.

My engine is a 2.5 liter turbo charged Hyundai starex 98 engine ( I have
heard that the Mitsubishi 2.5 l engine is the same but without a turbo)
. It is rated at 85 hp.

The van itself weighs 2 tons, and can take up to 12 people. It usually
spits out more smoke when loaded.

Anyway, the smoke isn't too serious, I was just thinking of lessening
the waste, opitmising and maby gaining a little performance.
zx zx zx zx zx zx if your engine has aa tachometerr, find hwat is the 
optaimum operationing rpm and drive by your tach instead of your

diesel,, dont dio it,, the dark smoke is engines response to temporary lug, 
overfuell, under rpm condition, the engine is getting enough fuelo for say 
3000 rpm,, what u put into it wouty your accelerator pedal,, the engine 
wants tor  run 3000 but the loaddd at the time holds it to say 1000.. so u 
get smoke if you put o2 in there, oxy combines readily with 
hydrocarboan readily, even without compression,, oxy on oily handss or 
closthes has put many machanincs in the hopspital, if you put o2 form your 
medical oxy bottle,, you will mosst likely get a lawn ornament,as the fuel 
injection sysstem is very carefully engineeered fuel, air managemanet 
system,, and you will not be able to easily control the necessary input of 
oxy,, if any of this upsets you,,, say so and i will cheerfully withdraww,

[Biofuel] Creating a cool room @@

2004-09-12 Thread Buck Williams


this is buck,, read belowww,


Greetings Heidi,


I do understand straw bale very well, did a course on it years ago now in 
Arizona with the Out on a bale, by mail people.  Unfortunately, straw 
bale is not a good building material for my area.  I would have to truck 
bales in from well over a 100 miles away.  My humidity is over 80% most of 
the year.  We tested a rice straw bale on the property, it disintegrated in 
a single season, just as if it were hay.  We have many insects here that 
just eat it and I do not allow chemicals on the property.  Straw bale is a 
wonderful building material if you live in the right climate.


Bright Blessings,
Kim

What you've got is perfectly enough. Odd as it may sound, it's a pleasant
change of pace.
Nothing was received scrambled on this end.
Glad your ticker kicked back in when it did.

 there aint no such thing as a free lunch!!i havent figuredd howw to
get
 theis to responnd to kparticularr posts sso i woll do itthis way  untill 
i

 get it riahgt,firsttt let me tell who and what i am, , i was retireddd
 millwright, mavnchinisst untill 3 yhears ago, my heart arrested, the
dxamage
 is similaair to straoke,, intellect iss intact, coantroall is not,,,
the
 brain knowsss how to spelll, the finddgers do not, please dojnn not
ask
 me to correfct my spelling, or usse spelllcheck, if i could do that i
woujld
 have been doing that three years ago, i dont remever much aboujt day
 beforeee yesterrday or last week with anay degr of accuraacy, but i
 rember 30, 20 ye3ars ago,i was a gas and staeaam turbine millwright,, i 
am

 ,was also precissisln machinist,,i will not respond in anay way to
political
 or ereligious questions, my back groaund is highly technicalll, i had to
 undersstand how thisngs worked i will try to help in any waya in
aresas
 that i am knowledgaable,, first to kim,, you canntot get freezing temps
 without putting some kind of energbgy into the sstystem, thats tanstafl, 
u

 may get mother nature to help,, i live in the high desert, the average
 humidityh is about 6-7 percent. sometimes lesss, we use evap coolerss to
 cool our house, (latent heat of evapoaration), it has fiber pads which 
are

 pumped with water, fan drawss air thru cooling the usual 105 d4egree air
to
 about 75-80 and the waterr in the bottom of the pan is usulally about 
60,
 thats mother nature helping if the humitdity is higher, 30-50 then 
the
 colller doesnt work very well, thats eficiency,, dryer,, more 
efficient,,,
 more humidity, less efficiendt your ground temp, 65 isnt bad,,, if 
you
 go down 12-14 most anyplace around the worlddd, except near the polses, 
or

 polar regions,,, you will find 68-70 degrees except in geothermal
 regions,  if your ground temp is 65,, possible,, then your 85 degree 
water

 temp in highlsy unlikely,, try this,,, wrap a large bucket with burlap,,
 arrange a drip so thaat it driops on the burlap, dont let the drp water
drip
 inside the abucket, if yourhumiotdity lefel is low enough, you will get
 water cool enough to enjhoy drinking,i hope u wont athink this mean of 
me,

 but if u want somesting, u misst first understand what your asking for,
and
 u cannot get a great energy exchange,, ambient to freezizng, without
 energy,, and if your ground temp is 65, and your waater temp is 85,,,??
have
 u measuredd the water temp just out ofthe ground, the more we know, the
more
 we can help,i hope u ;wont think me rude, i have been thru this man

Re: [Biofuel] Appreciated some ideassss

2004-09-12 Thread Buck Williams


attempt this with wassste oil in these dieselsss, any supsended solidss,,, 
saltss, or acids picked up from the coocked foods would probalby make shsort 
shrift of the  sometimes millionths of an inch  clearance in the fuell 
injection sysstem,
there are many great bargaisns in surplus military genssetss, 1,2,3,3 
cylinder aircooled diesesls, military standard, listerpetter, and onan are 
some,, they come three wayss,straight dc,,, ac in 60 cyclee and 400 cycle, 
60 cyclee at 120 and 240 volstss are most usefule as thats what we have 
mosst use of,, the 400 cycle will not power any of the comon 
appliancesss, none, howerver it is  ok for any resistive use as long as the 
voltage is appropriate,,, it will power lightbulbs and resisstance 
heaters, lightbuldss dont care aabout frequesncyy,(60 cy) and whilee im 
still thisnking about it, i wanat to say, when i say sometsshsing here,, it 
is bucks opinion,, opiniomnanything i say is subject to challensge, if i 
disagree i wall ask for sourcesss,, generally i dont feel stroangly 
enough about opinion to start an aarguemnt,i am kpretty much middle ofthe 
roadd, someone might want to lookk aht the gassifier plants built on the 
backs of carss in germanty, and bakc of busses in the phillipiness during 
wwII,,they weren very efiecient, they workeedd on spark ignnn engines only, 
but thw buirned readily avialable materia, coconut hulls, palllm trees, 
fronds wood, most anything,,, basic lawsss of mechanics,,, 
thermodynamicss,,, any time u change onee kind of energy to another, there 
will asslways be a loss,, if u need heat, and u have sun, make a lsolar 
collector airbos, its easy and inaespensive, and u dont have to pump it,if u 
dont have much sunlight, and your someplace where its not illegal,and u 
need heat, buirn somethning,,, just now the most efricent way to gel 
handleld lighttt is superbright ledss,,, i have a flsaashlight with leds 
that i bout a yers agoo and it still hads the original two d celll 
batteries, a 3000 mcd microcandles,, led will genarally burn at least 40 
hours on 2 d clells,i left myine on for a weekk, just forgot it, it was 
still buening,, try that with resistor boulb flashlight, guarntee the 
batteries will be dead in aobut two hours,, ive said endough, starnidnt to 
ramble, thiss si bukc

ihope this makes snese, kim has presented a problemm, that intrauques me 
if someone walks up ;to u ;with a 40 lbbb ham, sticks it to your chest and 
sayss eat this,,,firsts reactiaosn is probalbyy , i cant , its too big, 
imoopsiblle,,, what i might saayyy is,,, hey, give me aa loaf of breaddd, a 
jar of mayonaiase, some sun brewed tea, (from KINm) a sharp knifeee, and 
enough time ot workk on thismake ham sansdwiches,, break the problelma down 
intoa smaller manaageabvle pieces,what i thisnk i might do is get a ready 
made servel to keep the daily sstuff cooledd, butter, milk andy fresh 
meat,reduce the coolisng load on whatever reefer u wind up ;with, by 
preservinng, pickiling, jeryking, jams,thants how the turn ofthe centruy did 
it, my gramndmother did it, my mother,,, we used kerosene lamps untill i 
was aabout 12,, got rid of the lamps and got a refrigerator about the same 
time, we hunng peanuts and sweet ptattoes, , a gallon of kerosene will run a 
12-15 cufttt servel for about  three four daysss, i think,,, best i rember,, 
another ,, if u put a whatever box in the bround below the water tableee, 
what u will hnave is a rusty container with water in ti,, if u have a ready 
made hill, put it innn the hill,, if not put it on tomp of the grouand and 
pile diret on top ofit,, make yhour own hill, lots of dirt,,, this is almost 
, heck it is dozeer work, cept right on top,, this is not NOT shovel work, 
power,the bas must be large enough that weather or natural fall is 
not enough to carry your rcover away,what i wanted to say and forgott was 
start with manageable piecess, learn what u can do, what is so laabor 
intesiive or beyond your capabilities and adjsust so thatu get the best 
effieciency with what u can accomplishe,if u try to buy a righands weldidng 
time, these guys are ussed to doing refinery, oilfield, chem plant work at 
50 plus dollars an hour, go to junior collece, learn to weld, cut, learn 
to fit, measure,,, buy a small gasolisne welder, make stuff, the moreee u 
knowww, the more u can do for yourselldf, make the tools work for you, dont 
work for the tools,,theyre harder than you,, they have no felings, no 
sympathey and theyll work u to death,buck
