Re: [Biofuel] Does anyone distill ethanol here?
I can only speak as one person in a group of thousands of alternate fuelers, I came to this list earlier this Summer thinking ethanol and stills but listening to the difficulties in that process compared to biodiesel processing made me change everything I was planning. Although I am a rusty mechanic who worked exclusively with gas powered VWs I never really worked with diesel engines. The people in this group are an incredible inspiration. I have modified everything mechanical that I own, never satisfied with 'off the shelf' products. I have a still in the back of my head and intend to do it someday but it is actually the beer (mash) brewing that has me leery, not the distillation. JTF has info and links to every type of still ever conceived. The continuous feed still used in the whisky industry is state of the art. However the dry process still used in the mid-west U.S. takes corn and turns it into 190 proof ethanol with record efficiency. Wait until you see how complex and expensive not to mention dangerous ethanol is compared to bio-diesel. Just Google any of these terms like 'ethanol' or 'dry mill process' There is a reason that just about any alternate fuel search query brings up a reference to Journeytoforever web pages, these people 'have it going on.' Yeah, not to be discouraged about ethanol, I'm not. It is overwhelmingly encouraging how much more suited to the back yard shop the bio-diesel process is. So much so that I believe it is frugal to switch my vehicles to diesel and learn all there is to learn about this technology while it's hot. Want to see a totally amazing gas engine mod?

Re: [Biofuel] Does anyone distill ethanol here?
Still very cool mods there Robert. I know that it takes so much time to do the type of thing you are working on with your Ranger and then on top of that documenting the whole process, wow. Great job. I was a bit confused about the supercharger and reference to hydrogen, sorry about that. Do you foresee injecting hydrogen into gas engines in the future as feasible?

It's been a long road, and I'm not finished yet. Right now I have a bit of a problem with the mass airflow unit that will probably result in dispensing with the factory computer and putting in a speed density system like the Megasquirt. I was a bit confused about the supercharger and reference to hydrogen, sorry about that. That's ok. I was flattered, at least for a moment! Do you foresee injecting hydrogen into gas engines in the future as feasible? Maybe not pure H2, but a gas fuel will definitely work. (Although with gas prices going up all the time, electrolytic hydrogen might actually be cheaper pretty soon!) Direct injection is the way to go with gaseous fuels, and since my cylinder head has TWO spark plugs for each chamber, I don't have to modify the head to do it. I've been looking into building a modified gasification unit to run a combination of compressed wood gas (for volatility) and vegetable oil, since I can't do ethanol up here. With a programmable onboard computer, I can change the injection parameters to suit any fuel I want to run. Whether I can pull that off on my own is another story, however . . . robert luis rabello The Edge of Justice Adventure for Your Mind http://www.newadventure.ca Ranger Supercharger Project Page http://www.members.shaw.ca/rabello/ ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
[Biofuel] Does anyone distill ethanol here?
Hello I an trying to find info on distilling fuel ethanol. It seems that this group is almost totallybiodeisel. If no one distills ethanol here, then I am sorry for inconveviencing the group with my posts. Thanks Bob Do you Yahoo!? Find a local business fast with Yahoo!

Perhaps more VOCALLY biodiesel, but there may be other reasons for that. If no one distills ethanol here, then I am sorry for inconveviencing the group with my posts. Feel free to ask questions in this forum. There are many people from all over the world who subscribe here, including folk from Brasil, where fuel ethanol has been available for many years, and New Zealand, where distillation enjoys no legal prohibition. robert luis rabello The Edge of Justice Adventure for Your Mind http://www.newadventure.ca Ranger Supercharger Project Page http://www.members.shaw.ca/rabello/ ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
