Hi David, I do not currently have any drawings and my free time is quite limited for the moment, but I will try to get some basic schematic drawn up ASAP. Please be patient. There was a research company out of Menlo Park California burning up grant money on fluid bed reactor research about 15-20

Hi Dana et al, After looking at the Fluid Bed principal (see www.sulzerfluidbed.com/fbprincipal.htm I tend to agree this may be a very efficient way of creating steam especially for use with Glycerine distillation purufication. Used waste heat could also possibly be used for

David, The fluid beds I referred to are reactors/combustors and although the site you refer to is about fluid beds and gives a good description of fluid beds in general they bear very little resemblence to the fluid bed reactors I have been referring to where an oxidation reaction takes place.

I wonder if anyone has thought of producing a simple steam conversion for Wankel rotor engines. All the advantages of a turbine with none of the high RPM headaches. Or maybe a simple low rpm low efficiency steam piston engine with integral generator windings like the picoturbine. It would seem to

Hi Dana, Got any drawings? Have quickly scanned what you have written and the idea looks as if it might have a fair bit of merit. Any other reference material as well? B.r., David Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html To unsubscribe, send an
