Hi jan/dave
YOur calculations seem to match my guesses. I'm using a 1100 watt
element which seems to produce a lot of steam. I reckon it will boil
of all the water (from a 160 litre batch) in about 4 hours and leave
it at a sensible temp for processing.
Perhaps one of you that's good at
In a thermally cascaded batch process, (the dry hot oil is used to heat the
incoming wet oil), energy usage can be cut by over 90% with a counter flow
heat exchanger and insulated tanks and lines. Counter flow exchangers are
very efficient and easy to make.

Hi all,
I was reading something on the net about oleochemicals and had something
about free fatty acids. it says when we try to make methyl ester with alot
of free fatty acids, what happens is the free fatty acid reacts first with
the sodium methoxide and form a soap. This soap forms an

No, but I have used petro-based diesel. Therefore, I can't see why it
wouldn't work. I always use a 50/50 mix as diesel has very little lube
qualities when it comes to engine surfaces. Kerosene is even worse and
gasoline is out of the question.

no, a Jake (engine) brake opens the exhaust valve at top dead center.
Jacobs actually makes 3 kinds of brakes. the engine brake, as described
above, the exhaust brake (which closes off the exhaust, causing lots of back
pressure), and the driveline brake (I have no info).

Don't forget, windmills don't run free. They
need overhauls for the bearings, gearboxes and
broken parts. They do require fixing from time

Martin,
Good point on the low pressure concern. The
compression stroke and the power stroke (without
fuel) would act as somewhat as an spring. The
compressed air would push the piston down
somewhat. There of course would be some friction
loss but some of the energy would be returned.
Steve
Battery is definitely better than H2, but if you needed the gaseous form for
some reason, and the energy is not going to some other rational purpose...
