Firstly, thanks to you and Steve for the initiative in starting the egroup.
I have gained much from your respective sites (I am positively bloated with
information from there and elsewhere on the 'net!) and it's a pleasure to
interact here too.
Would it be too presumptuous to suggest
Nuff said.
I originally started the acid reaction subject because I had concerns
about the quality of fuel made from FFAs which would affect
commercial operations. However, it developed into a discussion about
recipe methods.

harry, what batch size will your personal kits have ? when you write 5 ton,
is that per batch ? are you aiming for acid/base, base/base, or base
reactions ?

Rudolf Diesel developed the first diesel engine to run on vegetable oil.
Diesel demonstrated his engine at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900

I recently read journal about microbial fuel energy.
Maybe it is not a new topic but until now the
electricity was produced from biofuel very small. Can
we enlarge the electricity 1000 times?

I spoke with Mr. Haig a while ago. They are/will be talking to the larger

dramatically with this method.

My second question to the group and to the experts; has anybody solved

Dear christopher S Weiler -
Not sure which it is you wish to buy in the US. In any case...
The Yanmar is, even though it's made in Japan. The Dymaxion was shunned by
an uncomprehending public. The electric hub motors come from Canada (or at
least one brand will, if they make it past RD stage).
Here is a link to the original Dymaxion. As well as lots of other 3
wheelers. License as motorcycle. Save $$. The original 3-wheel Morgan did
not do well on rutted, unpaved roads, or so an old-timer told me. More
pavement today. Corbin Sparrow borrows some 3 wheel ideas to good effect.

Dear list members,
Recently there was a bit of controversy on this list about crude oil demand
and long term reserves. A lot has also been written on these subjects by so
called experts. In my opinion, much of it based more on imagination than
fact. Here is a recent draft paper that was prepared
