Hi Keith, Steve and all
Thanks for the jolt; the only reason I'd been quiet was I'm busy doing it!
Australian Biodiesel producers (or those planning to be) should email me off
list (to link below please) if they;
a) are in search of NaOH / KOH, and Ethanol / Methanol bulk supplies, or
b)
Hi Steve
When you're ready, please send me the details and I'll add it all to
the Biofuels supplies page at Journey to Forever:

That it's Oz-only is no problem, I'm happy to regionalise it.
By the way, it might interest you to know that Oz is

you are correct on the units, although my point is still valid. batteries
absorb and release more net electric than the whole electrolysis process.
with electrolysis, 1 kwh into the electrolyzer, gives you less than 1/3 out
of the fuel cell.
batteries are 70%+ (at the c20 rate, with 50% DOD)
that was no war, that was an exercise ;-)

The origin of maize was way down in mesoamerica, not New Mexico.
That's been very well studied. Also, what is now desert in New Mexico was
arable farmland back 2-3 thousand years ago, so finding maize there is no
big deal, the Anasazi and other ancient peoples farmed there before a major

Social effects of motorized transport
Ivan Illich gives a set of very interesting facts and figures when he
discusses his concept of convivial transport:

I don't think autos even run at c10. They load like crazy with resultant
loss.
c/2 if range done in 1 hour right?

Hi Pat
The model American is the phrase used, Kirk. I don't buy vehicles just to
buy vehicles either. I keep the one I have in good running condition until I
no longer can, then I get another. I am not a model American.
Auto manufacturers build for model Americans.
City planning is for model

You're welcome Pat. Voice from the past, eh? Takes me back to the
70s. Wasn't it Illich who invented the World Wide Web? Or rather
Model Americans need remodeling.

We succumb to one degree or another but the unrealistic expectations of many
people are attributable to the lifestyle portrayed on TV. I truly believe

1. You'd be darned lucky to actually store 80% of
the generated juice in
a battery - or rather, you might store 80%, but
you won't get that much
back and still have reasonable battery life.

Hi Kirk and Everyone,
That`s what is so great about being from the South (Georgia) !
Everyone from the South is labeled from birth as a Rebel and
as such we get to be as crazy and 'non-model American' as we

Your preaching to the choir here. I know exactly where you're coming from.
Advertising is not my forte, but I found my own suit to wear a while back

couple of them that they would be wasting their time with me,

We have been trying a plastic, hand-operated drum pump the last couple of
weeks that works well for two things:
- it easily pumps viscous vegetable oil
- it comes with an attachment and measuring bottle that allows the bottle
to be fastened directly to the pump via a twist
Hello Pat
Keith,
Your preaching to the choir here.
Well, not preaching at all really. Genuinely curious as to whether
anyone thinks the model American actually exists as a
flesh-and-blood critter. I mean scratch them and they're still model
Americans underneath, inside. I'd hazard that if
When we speak of the model American we are actually talking about either
the design team at a consumer manufaturer or their Madison Avenue
advertiser. These folks need to target a specific demographic so they need
this model. There's really nothing nefarious about it. Unless of course the
