I am now the proud owner of a 1981 Peugeot 505 four cylinder turbo charged diesel vehicle! I know what you are thinking, I'm thinking Bravo! Well done! Good for you! Maybe I'm not the only one. See: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_404.html The best car in the world :-) A 505 is just a 404 in drag, they're great! A friend of mine drove one from London to Johannesburg, way back before they invented roads and stuff. Best of good luck with it Brian, I hope you get all the problems licked. Keith What's a American good ol' boy' doing with a Peugeot? Well, it is a long story, the short version is: If we live our lives in a spiritually wholesome and environmentally friendly fashion, we can expect good things to come to us. We don't need much and we have patience. Anyway, I said this is the short version right? We now have this car sitting here at the Ranch in northeastern New Mexico. It has only one mechanical problem that I can see; It is very hard to start, when it finally does it bellows blue-white smoke, and the coolant lines slowly begin to pressurize. The radiator hoses balloon up, very scary and we shut it down before they blow. At first glance it looks like a leaking head gasket. It is now sitting in front of my little workshop and I am so excited to finally have a car that I can make my own biodiesel for. Nevertheless, my rash days are past and I am content to ask first before I tear into anything mechanically. I ask for information. I am relatively new to Biofuels, but I do have a fine set of Mechanics tools, much updated from the days long ago when I was a factory trained VW mechanic. Please don't give me the negative perspective. If you do, I can take it. But I still have that wonderful glow a guy gets when he gets a new car to refurbish. How's that line go? Sing me the bad news! So far I have zero cash investment in this really cute little car. I have three Mercedes gas powered monsters which have been steadily moving closer to the ranch dump. I toyed with the idea of buying a 1982 300 Turbo Sedan that a friend has offered for $2000.00. I don't like the body style, too heavy, and we couldn't afford it anyway. This Peugeot is almost 1000 pounds lighter than my 1980 480SE. And damn, did I say it is sleek and in mint condition? So yeah that's the good news. Anybody out there have any experience with these? Looks like a very clean engine, but that may be because the radiator already washed it off with a steam bath. I have extended experience with petrol vehicles. My tools are metric and I love to read first then spin nuts after I at least think I understand. Diesel engines, this is only my second. I won't say what I did to the first one. I intend to make this motor sing again! So, I have heard of carbon buildup in the cylinders causing issues in dino-diesel motors. Any ideas? Things I could check. I suppose checking the compression through the spark plug holes is out of the question, lol. I will be looking for the factory service manual, unless it is written in French of course. Nah, I have factory service literature on the Benz and it is not in German. See how wishy washy I have become? Maybe it is the fog this morning, yeah fog in New Mexico, go figure. They have fog in France right? So how did my bio-diesel processing chemicals and WVO collecting go this week? Not well, physically. I talked it up pretty good, whatever that is worth. I think I know what I need to find for the test batches. A couple of little bottles of Heet (methanol). Blue or yellow? There is a bit of confusion in the biofuel group about this, and a jar of Red Devil drain opener (lye.) A five gallon can for transporting the WVO back to the ranch and a 12 volt pump for filling my container at the rear of the Mc Donald's. Oh, and I have to ask Vince, the owner of the local McDonald's, if is ok to use some of the WVO from his business.

Re: [Biofuel] Fwd: Disappearing Antiwar Protests
This is nothing new.I attended 3 rallies in DC back before we invaded Iraq (we had already been bombing the S**T out of them) Upon returnign home, we saw there was little or no coverage, and even if there was, there were reports of several thousand marchers when if fact the true amount was several hundred thousand. The mainstream media is truly in the hands of the Bush regime, and nobody or no entity is allowed to criticize him, and those that do suffer miserably or get stifled by a biased press. - Original Message - From: Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 1:22 AM Subject: [Biofuel] Fwd: Disappearing Antiwar Protests http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2677 Disappearing Antiwar Protests Media shrug off mass movement against war 9/27/05 Hundreds of thousands of Americans around the country protested the Iraq War on the weekend of September 24-25, with the largest demonstration bringing between 100,000 and 300,000 to Washington, D.C. on Saturday. But if you relied on television for your news, you'd hardly know the protests happened at all. According to the Nexis news database, the only mention on the network newscasts that Saturday came on the NBC Nightly News, where the massive march received all of 87 words. (ABC World News Tonight transcripts were not available for September 24, possibly due to pre-emption by college football.) Cable coverage wasn't much better. CNN, for example, made only passing references to the weekend protests. CNN anchor Aaron Brown offered an interesting explanation (9/24/05): There was a huge 100,000 people in Washington protesting the war in Iraq today, and I sometimes today feel like I've heard from all 100,000 upset that they did not get any coverage, and it's true they didn't get any coverage. Many of them see conspiracy. I assure you there is none, but it's just the national story today and the national conversation today is the hurricane that put millions and millions of people at risk, and it's just kind of an accident of bad timing, and I know that won't satisfy anyone but that's the truth of it. To hear Brown tell it, a 24-hour cable news channel is somehow unable to cover more than one story at a time-- and the national conversation is something that CNN just listens in on, rather than helping to determine through its coverage choices. The following day (9/25/05), the network's Sunday morning shows had an opportunity to at least reflect on the significance of the anti-war movement. With a panel consisting of three New York Times columnists, Tim Russert mentioned the march briefly in one question to Maureen Dowd-- which ended up being about how the antiwar movement might affect Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential chances. On ABC's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos observed, We've seen polls across the board suggesting that we're bogged down now in Iraq and now you have this growing protest movement. Do you believe that we're reaching a tipping point in public opinion? That question was put to pro-war Republican Sen. John McCain, who responded by inaccurately claiming: Most polls I see, that most Americans believe still that we have to stay the course I certainly understand the dissatisfaction of the American people but I think most of them still want to stay the course and we have to. A recent CBS/New York Times poll (9/9-13/05) found 52 percent support for leaving Iraq as soon as possible. A similar Gallup poll (9/16-18) found that 33 percent of the public want some troops withdrawn, with another 30 percent wanting all the troops withdrawn. Only 34 percent wanted to maintain or increase troop levels--positions that could be described as wanting to stay the course. Stephanopoulos, however, failed to challenge McCain's false claim. (An L.A. Times recap of the protests--9/25/05-- included a misleading reference to the Gallup poll, reporting that while the war is seen as a mistake by 59 percent of respondents, There remains, however, widespread disagreement about the best solution. The same poll showed that 30 percent of Americans favored a total troop withdrawal, though 26 percent favored maintaining the current level. By leaving out the 33 percent of those polled who wanted to decrease troop numbers, the paper gave a misleading impression of closely divided opinion.) On Fox News Sunday (9/25/05), panelist Juan Williams was rebuked by his colleagues when he noted that public opinion had turned in favor of pulling out of Iraq. Fellow Fox panelist and NPR reporter Mara Liasson responded, Oh, I don't think that's true, a sentiment echoed by Fox panelist Brit Hume. When Williams brought up the Saudi foreign minister's statement that foreign troops were not helping to stabilize Iraq, panelist William Kristol retorted: So now the American left is with the House of Saud.

Canadian forces were also training for that invasion. I was always taught that it was the code of death before dishonor that made the bombing necessary. I am not saying that is correct, but I wonder how scared of Russia anyone would have been by that time in the war. As I understand it, one of the things the Russian people hated America for was the long wait before they joined, which allowed Russia to be seriously depleted. I do understand that the Japanese were already commandeering cooking pots etc. for metal to make weapons, so they must have known the end was in sight, but that had been going on for long enough to scare many people into believing they would not surrender, period. It is easy to start myths during war time, people are so scared and the average person is not told much of the truth for good reasons, many times. I see it today, so many people are so scared of terrorism and have no idea of how it started.

As slightly more modern barbarians we really have no idea of the mindset of Japan's WWII government. Perhaps Keith can give his insights since he lives close by. My reading of that history is that Japan's military had a stranglehold on the government. That their way was the Bushido way. There's a lot of death before dishonor in that line of thinking. My father related many stories to me of the kamakazi attacks during the invasion of Okinawa. That they were ineffective does not discount their willingness to die. There were a lot fewer prisoners taken in the Pacific war. Some of that was certainly racism on our side but a fairly good piece of it wasn't. I've spoken with many veterans from that campaign. Many reasonable men told me quite frankly that the Japanese would rather die than surrender. If they could die taking a few of their enemy with them all the better. If this willingness to die was prevelent in their armed forces I think one can make the jump that if the home islands were attacked that our casualties would be very high. Perhaps not the million so often quoted but if it was only a quarter of that, many of us who are currently alive would never have been born. My father was in training for the invasion when the bombs were dropped. He told me everyone on board his troop transport breathed a sigh of relief when they realized they would not have to invade.

smaller bike such as Honda 350cc or so.There areseveral bike shops
nearby who may have one sitting around I can use asa donor .I read on
Biofuel about someone who put a 10 hp diesel in a Geo Metro. It took all day to
get it up to 55 MPH, but it got well over 100 MPG. So 6 hp ,may be adequate. I
plan on using it as a commuter, as I live 3 miles from work.

Re: [Biofuel] Mid '60s Mercedes 200D - Suitable Biodiesel-mobile?
Ken About the only 2 concerns you may have are the possible failure of non-neoprene rubber parts in the injector pump. Any rebuild kit would remedy this as the new parts would surely be made from neoprene. The other issue would be the loosening of debris/swarth in the tank and fuel lines. Imagine 30 years of sludge suddenly being stripped from the tank and lines and headed to your engine, like an unclogged blood clot. It would be benificial to change the fuel filter at least twice or three times in the first month of B100 use. - Original Message - From: Ken Dunn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 5:09 PM Subject: [Biofuel] Mid '60s Mercedes 200D - Suitable Biodiesel-mobile?

Re: [Biofuel] 1995 Chevrolet 6.5 litre Turbo-Diesel - Opinions
I looked at one for sale but found a lot of blowby in the crankcase (compression loss around cylinder walls resulting in pressure in the crankcase) The dealer had removed the tube from the PCV valve and there was oily smoke blowing out. I couldnt get in my car fast enough! These engines are real workhorses, and I was told about a few bugs. One is a sensor mounted on the injector pump is prone to failure due to the high heat.A relocation kit is available. Also, there is a cooling system design flaw that has certain parts of the engine overheating.

Re: [Biofuel] Tritrating with Phenol Red
Where is a good place to look for phenolphthalein? Right here on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=413item=6169232197rd=1 - Original Message - From: Ken Dunn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 10:43 PM Subject: [Biofuel] Tritrating with Phenol Red Hi all, First, let me say that I know that I'm not supposed to use phenol red for the purposes of titration but, I had some and figured I'd have a crack at it while I attempt to find a source for phenolphthalein. I did so using the Better Titration method. I had taken my lye (Glug brand) and two ziplock baggies to the pharmacy where they were most inviting and pleased to measure it for me. I squeezed all the air out (or so I thought) then zipped and folded the bag and placed it inside the second. I was sad to find a bit of moisture in the bag when I opened it today. Again, I figured that I might as well give it a whirl whilst I also await the arrival of my scale via the boys in brown. I mixed my lye, thoroughly, with the water in a glass container and then took 5ml of that along with another 45ml of water. I recently found Uni-Fide brand Fuel System Dryer which claims to be anhydrous isopropyl alcohol at a very good price down at the local flea market. I combined the alcohol and soy oil and two drops of phenol red. However, as I was adding drops of the lye solution to the oil solution, it quickly turned from a very pale yellow to pink to milky pink. Being not sure if two drops would provide a similar affect to two drops of phenolphthalein, I decided to add two more drops of phenol red...and two more after that... This did not yield much better results but a slight change in color could be seen. Of course, I monkeyed with it more from there but, not seriously. Once the mixture became cloudy, it stayed that way. However, it did clear up a bit when I replaced the warm water bath with fresh hot water. I figured a query to the list would probably save me of wasting too much time. So, should I have expected what I saw? Is it possible to get even close with phenol red? What is a guy to do with with titration cocktail after he gets the requisite measurement? I'd drink it but all that blindness followed by death doesn't sound pleasant.

Re: [Biofuel] 271 Diesel Generators
Here is my two cents: The Detroit Diesel 71 (and 92)series is a somewhat antiquated two-stroke design. The engines come in various straight configurations from 2-71 all the way to 6-71 and 8-71's, as well as 8V71's.(those stinky noisy bus engines) or modularized into huge 12V's and 16V's for generators or saw mills. The number 71, . (and 92)denotes cubic inches per cylinder, so a 6-71 is 427 cubic inches. They all utilize a supercharger (popular among early hot rodders) in order to move the spent exhaust gasses from the cylinder and allow a fresh charge of air in for combustion.(there are no conventional intake or exhaust valve, just an exhaust port at the bottom of the piston stroke in the cylinder wall.) Be forewarned- these engines are extremely noisy and also produce an inordinate amount of smoke, they are on the EPA hit list and are no longer available as truck engines in this country due to their poor pollution stats. These regulations dont apply to stationary power plants so new engines are being built for this purpose only. I guess the same caution applies as all other diesel engines- certain rubber parts in the fuel pump or injector pump may be subject to failure when coming into contact with Biodiesel, so be careful.Also, when calculationg in the cost of a rebuild, include a supercharger rebuild kit, the blower has screw type vane rotors with long seals on the edges. I would love to have one as an auxiliary supply for my weekend house, so please post a source for them. I saw a similar genset on ebay with a 3-71 , may be the same folks.

Clear Day NHRA Fun Facts 1. Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro fuel per second. To put that into perspective that is the same rate of fuel consumption as a fully loaded 747 in flight, but with 4 times the energy release per volume. 2. The supercharger takes more power to drive it than a stock Hemi makes. 3. With nearly 3000 cubic feet of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into nearly-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock! 4. Dual magnetos apply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is equivalent to the output of an arc welder inside each cylinder. 5. At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7|1 air/fuel mixture (for nitro) the flame front of nitro methane measures 7050 degrees F. 6. Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks of a dragster during a night race is actually burning hydrogen, as it is being dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing hot exhaust gases. 7. Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during one pass down the track. In the 3 or 4 seconds it takes to get halfway through the quarter! the engine is tinseling from compression and the glow of the exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can now only be killed by shutting off the fuel flow. 8. If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up so fast in the cylinders that once spark is restored the explosion is so violent that the cylinder heads can be blown off the block in pieces and the block can blow in half. 9. Dragsters twist the crank (torsionally) so far (20 degrees in the big end of the track) that sometimes cam lobes are ground offset on purpose from front to rear to rephase the valve timing somewhere closer to synchronization with the pistons. 10. To exceed 3000 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate at an average of 4 G's. But if they reach 200 MPH well before 1/2 track the pressure on the driver is closer to 8G's. 11. Drivers shut off the fuel before the finish line or even double-chutes will not stop the car. 12. If all the racing teams' equipment is paid off, the crew works for free and for once NOTHING blows up, then each run only costs $1000,00 per second. 13. Dragsters reach over 300 mph before you have read this sentence. ___ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/

Re: [Biofuel] Castor oil for 2-Cycle? was ethanol:gasoline ratio
Castor oil has been used as lubricant in 2 cycle engines for years in the world of motorsports racing. The downside is it does leave harmful deposits in the combustion chamber and piston, reducing the life of the engine. Racing engines are constantly being re-built, so the deposits are not a factor in engine life. So be forewarned that bean oil may lead to a shorter life in your chainsaw. The good news is that replacing a piston is relatively easy, and a good lesson in mechanics for anyone wishing to be more green. - Original Message - From: JCT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 7:47 AM Subject: [Biofuel] Castor oil for 2-Cycle? was ethanol:gasoline ratio From: Peggy [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip I also asked about biolubricants to use in 2 cycle engines and was given the following reply: The best lubricant for 2-cycle use is Castor oil.

Re: [Biofuel] TDI Question
Wendy As an old time engine swapper from my old Hot Rod days, unless you find a good qualitifed mechanic, doing this kind of conversion could lead into a lot of hassles, and even more money. Remember, the entire car needs to be changed over to diesel, including the proprietary fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, even the type of transmission if its an automatic. This job, evn done by a pro, would be quite a feat. The main issue is a donor car, one that would have all of the above mentioned parts to make the swap doable. SO buying your wagon, and buying a donor car with low milage and all parts intact, PLUS labor, would add up to almost a new car.

Re: [biofuel] Iraq, fight, eat, shit and move, a number game.
Hear hear! I agree 100%, I remember your earlier post and thought about how the mASS media completely overlooked this point- that 10 years ago we were killing these people, and why would they have a sudden change of heart? No, we would be looked upon as some kind of usurper, with their oil fields on our minds, and they saw through the kindness with bullets BS. I own a VW Diesel and run a 20% mix of store-bought biodiesel, and I am looking into buying some home made from some local folks, with the intent of making my own someday. There are also kits to convert to using straight vegetable oil, with many reporting thousands of miles of trouble free use. Its the new wave of grass roots renewable energy sources, because our government cant make up its mind to provide us with any without deciding how to make the most money from it (HYDROCELL). Here is a great link to some free thinking people http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html - Original Message - From: Hakan Falk [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 12:59 AM Subject: [biofuel] Iraq, fight, eat, shit and move, a number game. Before the invasion of Iraq, I pointed out in different ways and times the following, Iraq consist of 80% women and children under 16 years old. This as a result of the Iraq and Iran war, supported by US. The first Gulf war and the blockade of food and medical supply. It is true that there are nearly no family or circle of friends who did not have a member killed in the Iran war or by the oppressive regime. It is also true that the same can be said about the Americans and their policies. I claimed that US would not be hailed as a liberator and that the winning of hearts and minds was a very naive proposition. Today we can see this and the Americans have killed a larger number of Fathers, Brothers, Friends and even some collateral damages on the female side of the population. The started with a childish proudness of the terror tactics shock and awe and continued with trigger happiness. It is non who claims any large successes in winning hearts and minds, instead we have seen some extremely stupid events in the prison system. Now I only like to point out some severe logical failures in the reporting and propaganda from Iraq. A US combat soldier on the ground in Iraq, is depending of 5 to 10 other military support personal to fight, eat, shit and move. This means that of the US force of around 130,000, it is only around 30,000 that really comes in contact with Iraqi people and combat situations. That is one thousands of a percent, compared with the Iraqi population. It is almost impossible to maintain any kind security and to live up to their obligations according to the Geneva convention, as an occupying force. This is also why the current hand over of sovereignty is rushed through, as if US after that would no longer have any legal responsibilities and a moral victory. According to the coalition the resistance in Iraq, are foreign terrorists, local terrorists, insurgents and plain criminals. If we look at the numbers, the US heroes are killing them with their technical superiority (night scopes etc.) in relations higher than 1 American to 15 insurgents. Most combats are therefor night combats, where US search and kill insurgents. It is also a very high number of innocent collateral damage (bystanders). The propaganda want us to belive that these insurgents pops up during night, like targets on a shooting range and they come almost from nowhere and seems to exists in unlimited numbers. The fact is that those insurgents also fight, eat, shit and move. They must have support of 5 to 10 members of the population to do so. Making some numbers out of it, there must be insurgents and supporters in the range of 1,500,000 people, or a very large part of the Iraqi able population, that probably are around 5,000,000 men. I might be off both up and down, but not totally wrong in the principle. The question is how US will win this, without putting maybe 10 times more troops on the ground and with much ruthless behavior. Selected sovereign government, have little chance to survive without massive US support and if the Iraqis do not get the opportunity to really free elections, it will continue to go on. Really free elections will probably lead to a Iran style Muslim scenario and that is not acceptable for the US, because this means that Bin Laden won. There are also large risks for collapse and civil war and a large scale escalation in the region. The situation is very dangerous and in no way out of the woods yet. It does not look good for US energy supplies and price levels, because it could be severe impacts on the US economy. My survival kit advice in this situation is, sell your SUV when you can and get a small energy efficient diesel car, prepared for biodiesel. Hakan Biofuel at Journey to Forever:

Re: [biofuel] Hybrid Mileage Comes Up Short
Ha! I was stopped at a traffic light nearby yesterday and a guy in a Ford Exploder came alongside and beeped his horn. I rolled down my window and he asked me what kind of mileage I got. I said 53 highway on long trips, @ 70MPH. He said wanna trade? I said NO WAY! I told him the VW TDi is the best kept secret.

Re: [biofuel] Hybrid Mileage Comes Up Short
Heck, I put a Got 50MPG? sticker on my TDi Golf and I'm embarrassed, too. Because its been getting 53 MPG on road trips to my house in upstate NY. I'm so ashamed. BSEG :) busyditch - Original Message - From: murdoch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 3:11 AM Subject: [biofuel] Hybrid Mileage Comes Up Short In my view, it is long overdue that the EPA should improve its tests to reflect real-world mileage and not their out-of-touch lab work. http://www.wired.com/news/autotech/0,2554,63413,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_1 Hybrid cars are hot, but not as hot as their owners, who complain that their gas mileage hasn't come close to well-advertised estimates. Don't knock the car companies for inflated claims: Experts say the blame lies with the 19-year-old EPA fuel-efficiency test that overstates hybrid performance. Pete Blackshaw was so excited about getting a hybrid gasoline-electric car that he had his wife videotape the trip to the Honda dealership to pick up his Civic Hybrid. The enthusiastic owner ordered a customized license plate with MO MILES on it, and started a blog about his new hybrid lifestyle. But after a few months of commuting to his job in Cincinnati, Blackshaw's hybrid euphoria vanished as his car's odometer revealed that the gas mileage he was hoping for was only a pipe dream. Honda's Civic Hybrid is rated by the EPA to get 47 miles per gallon in the city, and 48 mpg on the highway. After nearly 1,000 miles of mostly city driving, Blackshaw was getting 31.4 mpg. I feel like a complete fraud driving around Cincinnati with a license plate that says MO MILES, says Blackshaw, who claims that after 4,000 miles his car has never gotten more than 33 mpg on any trip. The tenor of Blackshaw's blog shifted from adulation to frustration after his Honda dealer confirmed that his car was functioning properly, and that there was nothing he could do.

[biofuel] NASA branch funds chaos technology
NASA Funds Sci-Fi Technology By Noah Shachtman http://www.wired.com/news/feedback/mail/1,2330,0-91-63362,00.html | Also http://www.wired.com/news/storylist/0,2339,91,00.html by this reporter Page 1 of 1 02:00 AM May. 07, 2004 PT For 25 years, Ross Hoffman has had a vision: to use tiny changes in the environment to alter the paths of hurricanes, slow down snow storms and turn dark days bright. For most of those years, Hoffman kept his ideas largely to himself. His adviser at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told him weather control was too outlandish for his Ph.D. thesis. The chances of a buttoned-down foundation or government agency funding such research were so slim, Hoffman didn't even bother to ask. But, in 2001, all that changed. Hoffman stumbled upon a tiny, obscure cranny of the American space program -- the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts http://www.niac.usra.edu/, or NIAC. In this $4 million-a-year agency, Hoffman found a place where the wildest of ideas were not only tolerated, they were welcome. Shape-shifting space suits http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/714Hodgson.html? Step right up. Antimatter-powered probes to Alpha Centauri http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/850Howe.html? No problem. Robotic armada to destroy incoming asteroids http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/889Olds.html? Pal, just sign on the dotted line. Weather control seemed downright down to earth in comparison. Hoffman is now wrapping up his half-million-dollar study for NIAC. But the agency is continuing to bankroll concepts for a future decades away. Some space analysts wonder how long it can last, however. With NASA in turmoil, and a presidential directive to return to the moon, will a science fiction-oriented agency like NIAC survive? They're interested in taking some risks, unlike most other government organizations these days, said Hoffman, a vice president at Atmospheric and Environmental Research http://www.aer.com/ in Lexington, Massachusetts. At NIAC, if it's not risky, it's not going to get funded. Over the last six years, NIAC has backed 118 studies into the chanciest of propositions: interplanetary rapid transit http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/524Nock.html, aircraft without moving parts http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/836Colozza.html, and radio signals bounced off of meteors' trails http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/815Charania.html. The idea, according to NIAC director Robert Cassanova, is to give concepts 10 to 40 years out a chance to grow, and then to pass those models on to NASA proper for further development. The agency's best-known baby is the so-called space elevator http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,60449,00.html -- a 62,000-mile twine of carbon nanotubes that would transport cargo into orbit. Technically, NIAC isn't part of the space agency, Cassanova said. It's a wing of the Universities Space Research Association -- a collection of colleges that work together on final-frontier studies. Through the group, NASA gives Cassanova a few million a year to hand out to way-out researchers. NIAC hands out two types of grants. Six-month Phase I investigations receive $75,000 each. Phase II grants go up to $400,000, for 18 to 24 months of study. With his award, Hoffman tweaked a weather-prediction program to show that moving a hurricane was possible -- at least in theory. Here's how: You need a ring of satellites in orbit, channeling the sun's energy, stretching around the Earth. The machines would beam power http://www.defensetech.org/archives/000658.html to the planet, using microwaves. But, tuned to 183 GHz, they could also heat up small regions of the atmosphere by a degree or two. Those small changes could have enormous impact, Hoffman's simulation showed. A deadly hurricane, headed for the Hawaiian island of Kauai, drifted off into the Pacific, harmlessly. One of the great things about NIAC is that they never say, 'That's crazy, you can never build a fleet of solar-powered space stations,' Hoffman said. Such a system is decades off -- if it ever happens at all. But analysts like Brian Chase, vice president of the Space Foundation http://www.spacefoundation.org/, see research like Hoffman's as critically important. It's impossible to make breakthroughs if all you're funding is immediate, near-term applications, he said. Chase is concerned, however, that NASA may be pressured to drop its far-out studies. These are tight times, he said. It's tricky balancing how much can be obtained for the moon and Mars versus how much can be obtained for the longer-term stuff. Often, it's one of the first areas to get cut. NIAC isn't the only arm of the space agency engaged in projects that border on the fantastic. The Marshall Space Flight Center, for example, is looking at propelling spaceships with electrodynamic tethers http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/NEWSROOM/background/facts/tether.pdf (PDF).

Well, I have finally found a source for B-D here in North NJ. It is a local fuel oil company who carries 5 gal pails and also 55 gal drums. I bought 3 pails today, with the hope of buying a drum and keeping it in the yard where I work. I put in 3 gallons because it is a 14 gal tank (Golf) and then topped it off. Oh, yeah, while g-ass-oline prices are soaring, I have watched petro diesel come down almost 8 cents per gallon in 2 weeks, (I paid $1.55 US per galllon) The first thing I noticed when I got home is that the exhaust smell is much less notable.

Re: [biofuel] Using Prius as an electric car *#
Eva Thanks for your concern and insight. I, too, knew very little about b-d until a few months ago. It started with an email from someone in Australia who started running their TDi on WVO (waste vegetable oil) and then the wonderful discovery of the grass roots people around the world building their own systems to convert WVO to b-d. I looked into kits to convert cars to WVO dual tank systems, and then seriously started hunting for a TDi. (found my 2000 Golf TDi with only 50 K)At this point I discovered JTF, and have read a lot of interesting comments from list members. Yes, there were front page stories in the Times, etc (links to follow) which did not make any waves, obviously. Yes,the country needs to be informed that an alternative isd here in front of their faces, and Bush should NOT put any money into the super costly hydrogen cell technology. But my frustration still lies in obtaining b-d. One list member offered for me to come visit him upstate (near Oneonta) to see his conversion tank system.(I live in NJ but own a house in the Catskills) But my efforts to obtain a 5 gal pail or 55 gal drum of b-d for me to mix into my own B20 (20%) is tough, because the shipping is almost as much as the product itself. I CAN buy a tractor trailer load, but who has a tank to store that much? Therefore the need to start-up a small distributorship here in the NY area, maybe in an old gas station? I am seriously pursuing it. If your TDi gets such good mileage, it wouldnt be so bad for someone to travel from, say Queens or Brooklyn to north NJ where my station will be, I would even offer to pay back tolls! If I could generate enough interest from this list, it would be an incentive for me. Thanks again, and keep in touch. (are you also in NY?) -busyditch Here is a cool list,if you browse around there are articles from various media, plus super reviews of the TDi cars. http://www.tdiclub.com/ - Original Message - From: Eva Pierce To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 7:00 PM Subject: RE: [biofuel] Using Prius as an electric car *# I, too, would be interested in hearing about your efforts to start biodiesel production in NYC.

I am acquainted with the guy who runs NYCE wheels, the 2-wheeler EV seller on the upper east side. But that's just an EV issue, not a biofuel issue. A couple of years ago I was in NYC and asked about the grocery store situation. I realized that I never seemed to see large chain stores as I am accustomed to elsehwere. I was told that, basically, the local stores had a strong push and were able to keep the area different from the chain-store-ization of elsewhere. I am not saying good or bad, I was just sort of wondering, and that's what I was told... as I kept in mind the amounts of food going into the city every day, and the amounts of waste exiting. There was a news story or two, a few years ago, about the issue of some restauraunt waste grease, that might otherwise have been turned into fuel, being put illegally into the sewer systems, and causing damage. Apparently this was happening in a certain Chinese restaurant area more than in others? I have not heard any further discussion of this. Manhattan is such a different area from others that I have been to, that I cannot begin to really understand it. I never seem to see gas stations, yet there must be some, because there are certainly enough cars and taxis. I think this is merely my perception, that I don't see any. But at the same time, I'm guessing that it's highly regulated and that this is part of the reason for the lack of inroads by folks trying to do something different. After 9-11, I expected NYC people, of anyone, to make a connection between the issue of changing the sourcing of their fuel and fighting the war, or at least fighting whatever fight any individual citizen wanted, as far as his own personal views
Re: [biofuel] Using Prius as an electric car *#
Thanks Here is my current dilemma: I am seeking to buy biodiesel, either B20 or B100 that I can mix myself. I am not in the best situation right now that would allow me the chance to brew my own. So I am looking for a distributor to supply me. Now, I live in the NY city area, THE largest Metropolitan area in the world, yet there are ZERO distributors here, the closest is New Haven, Connecticutt, and Bridgeton, NJ, 2 hours drive eiher way. I want so much to become part of the biodiesel solution that I want to try to become a distributor here in NY, and maybe get in on the ground floor. I do have some capital to invest. but just need more info on how to do it. I am banking on the hope that biodiesel will be the wave of the future, as a government mandated supplement to petro diesel.

Re: [biofuel] newbie questions
Your plan is feasible, save for the fact that you live in an area with cold climate most of the year. The idea of using SVO works through the principle of preheating the oil for a thinner viscosity, to run better. But in most cases you will need a dual fuel system, because the SVO does not start well in cold weather, and it also has the same gelling problems as petro diesel. There are kits online to convert to SVO and also some dual fuel kits, too. The problems arise with dual fuel systems because the diesel engine needs a bleed back line into the fuels tank, and you cannot mix petro diesel with SVO, so you need a switching system to feed back to the respective fuel tank. This is the only way to prevent ruining the engine, or causing running problems. I own a 2000 Golf TDi and plan on running biodiesel as a 20% mix until I can make my own biodiesel. Right now I cant because I cant fit the tanks into my condominium. :) - Original Message - From: Julia Mossbridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 1:51 PM Subject: [biofuel] newbie questions Hi there, I am very new to the biofuel group and am just trying to determine whether anyone thinks it's a good idea to buy a VW Beetle GLS TDI (1999) and then alter it to run on SVO. *If* there is someone out there who thinks this idea is reasonable (won't ruin the TDI, etc.), or someone who has done this, I'd love to hear about it.
