[biofuel] Fwd: thermophotovoltaic technology

Hello fellow biofuelers, The following message was posted on another email list. I do not have this magazine yet. Sounds like this technology might be a god-send if the cost is tolerable. Maybe wrap these cells around IC engines, put them in solar collectors, etc? Sheesh, per the numbers

Keith, How true. How very true. All the more reason to get some of these other technologies up and running as fast as we can. At a time when the american people and the world needed a progressive, far seeing individual, with a vision for mankind, they seem to have taken a retrograde step

Re: [biofuel] Re: Filters

Hi Barry, See I didnt answer this e-mail properly. The fuel filters are basically the same as the oil filters although slightly different. They differ in that while the oil filter has a 50 thou orifice in the inlet opening to drop the oil velocity and to prevent channeling the fuel

Re: [biofuel] GE oilseeds - was RE: Palm and coconut oil

If you look at the yields from oil bearing algae compared to soybean or rape, that is the best area to throw the technology at rather than improving current crop yields,and pushing bio-diesel further into the clutches of M--s--t- and Ca-g--l and the like Oil,grain,soybeans, it's all the same to

[biofuel] Still Help

Keith, Can you tell me if it makes any difference what type of metal one uses to build a column for a still. Stainless steel is preferable but could one use auto or diesel exhaust tubing/pipe. I know that plain steel will rust after a period of time but if you clean the column with regularity

Keith, Was just looking at the biodiesel yield tables http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield.html and it occurred to me whether the yields for crops like coconut and oil palm are annual (most likely), and for such as rapeseed, soybean, corn etc. are yields per harvest. Can you advise?

Hi all. Well, I finally did the first large batch yesterday. Using alecs' 'foolproof' method. I think i messed up big time. My system worked perfectly although it took nearly 2 hrs to filter the oil. My mix was 80% liquid veggie and 20% solid veggie. 80 litres in total. I heated it all up to
