Re: [biofuels-biz] Digest Number 230
Tom's reply is very interesting. I have been looking at the Babington stuff too, and now realise that it would ideal for co-firing glyc. with bottled propane. The propane gas could be fed directly into the ball instead of compressed air, inter-alia saving the need for a compressor. I've not had a chance to try this, but suspect that some air would be needed as well to get the right balance of atomisation and heating value. So long as the gas pressure remains above the air pressure, it should be simple enough to meter gas into the air line. I intended to apply for a research grant on glyc. burning, and this new idea might be just the thing to hang the application on. What is the patent position? Going back to the Mother Earth drip-feed design, I hope to dilute the heated glyc with about 5% water, in the expectation that flash boiling of water in the droplets on contact with the hot plate will burst them into a finely atomised mist.

[biofuels-biz] EREN Network News -- 05/15/02
= EREN NETWORK NEWS -- May 15, 2002 A weekly newsletter from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network (EREN). http://www.eren.doe.gov/ = Featuring: *News and Events Farm Bill Boosts Bioenergy Production, Renewable Energy Use Cargill Dow, Ashland to Produce Biobased Solvent GE Buys Enron Wind; Vestas Receives Large U.S. Wind Order New Jersey State Government Buys Green Power Six Green Tag Providers Earn Green-e Certification Rosebud Sioux to Build First Tribal Utility-Scale Turbine EPA Recognizes Nearly 300 Commuter Choice Leaders *Energy Facts and Tips EPA Examines Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector, Strength *About this Newsletter -- NEWS AND EVENTS -- Farm Bill Boosts Bioenergy Production, Renewable Energy Use President Bush signed the Farm Bill on Monday, ushering in a variety of programs to encourage the production of energy products on farms while providing incentives for farmers to increase their energy efficiency and their use of renewable energy resources. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman noted that the bill -- officially called the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 -- provides a renewed commitment to renewable fuels programs. See the U.S. Department of Agriculture press release at: http://www.usda.gov/news/releases/2002/05/0189.htm. Title IX of the bill specifically addresses energy, providing $204 million in subsidies over the next four years for producers of fuel-grade ethanol and biodiesel. It also provides $5 million to educate consumers about biodiesel and $6 million to establish a new program to encourage the purchase of biobased products by federal agencies. The new program will include an effort to establish voluntary labeling of biobased products. The bill encourages farmers to be energy efficient and to use renewable energy systems, including wind energy systems and anaerobic digesters, by providing $115 million over the next five years for low-interest loans, loan guarantees, and grants. It also extends the Biomass Research and Development Initiative through 2006, providing $75 million to continue the Initiative. See the Farm Bill summary on the U.S. Senate Web site at: http://www.senate.gov/~agriculture/Briefs/2001FarmBill/conframe.htm. For more details, including the complete text of the bill, see the link from the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition Forestry Web site at: http://www.senate.gov/~agriculture/. The Biomass Research and Development Initiative is a multi-agency effort to coordinate and accelerate all federal biobased products and bioenergy research and development. See the Initiative's Web site at: http://www.bioproducts-bioenergy.gov/. Cargill Dow, Ashland to Produce Biobased Solvent The biobased chemical industry took a large step forward in late April, when Cargill Dow LLC announced that it has signed a five-year agreement with Ashland Specialty Chemical Company to produce a biobased solvent. Biobased chemicals are produced from organic matter available on a renewable basis -- in this case, the solvent will be produced from corn. Biobased chemical production can potentially consume far less fossil fuels than conventional chemical production processes. Ashland will derive its ethyl lactate solvent from ethanol and a Cargill Dow polymer intermediate called lactide. Cargill Dow's lactide production, in turn, will draw on the company's new plant that produces lactic acid from corn. The electronics-grade solvent has many applications in the semiconductor industry. Since launching its new plant in April, Cargill Dow has also moved ahead on its NatureWorks products, which are produced from lactic acid. The company has demonstrated the superior flame resistance of its NatureWorks fiber, while a leading Italian supermarket is preparing to use NatureWorks materials to produce containers and film wrapping for its food products. By mid-summer, the supermarket plans to distribute fresh food and pasta in the corn-based packaging. See the Cargill Dow press releases at: http://www.cargilldow.com/news.asp. GE Buys Enron Wind; Vestas Receives Large U.S. Wind Order It's finally official: the company formerly known as Enron Wind Corporation is now called GE Wind Energy, a General Electric (GE) company. GE Power Systems announced the acquisition on May 10th. GE has not yet chosen the headquarters location for the new company, which is currently based in Tehachapi, California. See the GE Wind Energy Web site at: www.gewindenergy.com. The U.S. market for wind turbines appears strong: Vestas - American Wind Technology, Inc.

WATER INJECTION During World War II, the military made extensive use of water injection in high performance piston aircraft engines. Later, water injection was used by both civilian and military jet aircraft to provide extra thrust, principally on takeoff. Even today, water injection systems are available that can be installed in automobiles. The fact is that, within certain limits, these systems actually do increase power. Referring back to Figure 2-2, note that the latent heat of vaporization for gasoline is about 140 Btu/lb and for ethanol about 361 Btu/lb. Water has a latent heat of about 700 Btu/lb! Therefore, if a little water is injected into the carburetor in the form of an ultra-fine mist, the latent heat of the water will cool the charge and increase volumetric efficiency. In addition, when the charge is fired in the cylinder, the water will turn to high-pressure steam and provide additional power due to the pressure exerted by the steam. There are definite limits, however, to the amount of water that can be injected. Too much will cause excessive cooling and misfiring. The use of water injection with a gasoline fueled engine requires a separate metering and injection system because water and gasoline do not mix. Ethanol and water, however, do mix and the benefits of water injection can be had simply by adding the desired amount of water to the alcohol in the fuel tank. http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_manual/manual1-2.html#ch2 Alcohol Fuel Manual Ch1-2 And there have been some interesting results with this - try a search for Novak in the Biofuels archive: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/me3.html Mother Earth Alcohol Fuel: Ron Novak's Do-It-Yourself Water Injection System These books and more are indexed here: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library.html Biofuels Library - Journey to Forever I have also learnt that u have lots of molasses and rice hulls in the USA available at low cost. I can only conclude that u r sitting on 'green gold'...the fuel of the future by a long shot. TQ Well, not me, I'm in Japan for the moment, but I agree. There's a lot of feedstock just lying around or going to waste or causing problems, and a lot of potential for growing biomass crops and better biofuel crops that's hardly begun to be exploited. It's the same here in japan. Everywhere I guess. regards Keith Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- Buy Stock for $4 and no minimums.

Please consider the following points: 1: I apologized to Steve for any reference to him as being a GOOF and certainly extend that apology to any of you that took offense. In actuality, I never did specifically refer to Steve as a goofball. 2: The goofball comment was directed at the author of the editorial comments that Steve emailed to everyone, while I found it hard to believe that Steve wrote such nonsense, there was no reference as to who did and no comments made by Steve. It had the appearance that this was from Steve... and was way below his intelligence level. 3: In our correspondence, it comes out that he found the article from someone he thought was intelligent and who he could trust and passed it on to all of us without really reading the material... he even went so far as to say he did not (say) some of the stuff that WAS said. I think he finally read it through and had one of those defining moments... 4: The fact that Steve DID NOT write the material and DOES NOT endorse it makes a lot more sense and Steve agrees he should be a lot more careful in forwarding material in the future. If I had not been offensive it may never have dawned on Steve that he was making these kinds of errors. Worse, some of you, knowing Steve is a very smart advocate of AE/RE/EE might somehow believe the material or repeat the material... the snowball effect of STUPID could be devastating! Having said all of that, I will re state my position... such drivel as that material is GOOFBALL and the person that wrote it is a prize winning GOOF! and I don't give a ratz a$$ if that is making fun of people or not. It is true and I could just as easily use much stronger language... we have no place in AE/RE/EE for STUPID, we don't have the time and we can not afford the cost of alienating the public, who generally already looks at us as strange (to say the least) because of the press the lunatic fringe gets. Making stupid comments about earthquakes being caused by pumping oil or that burring alcohol produces no emissions.. does NOT help the cause! I know I come across to a lot of you as a loud mouth jerk... will perhaps I am, but if you follow what I am loud mouthed about, you may see a certain pattern... I deeply dislike radical extremists (on either side of the political spectrum), hucksters and dimbulbs who think they know everything and know NOTHING. It is false to say that we need to be extreme to counteract the Big Oil side this only creates chaos and the general public turns away especially when we seek to force our will through legislation that mandates they do what WE feel is right.

Re: [biofuel] Stoichiometric values
Hi Christian, Ken and Ken, Juan and all This is all very interesting. First, Ken from the Phillipines, personally I didn't come up with anything much, except maybe saying use more (I usually use 22%). The stoichiometric value for methanol is generally put at 12.5% or 13% by volume, and I guess the 20% comes from that. Some people say you need more excess for full conversion, up to 25% total, others use 30% or even more, for tallow eg, others yet say using more than 20% total is generally a waste. The results from using 20% (and good practices) are generally good. So we should add to that: ... for most feedstocks, in most cases. Christian says the stoichiometric value for methanol of sunflower oil is lower, 11%. For coconut oil Christian gets a value of 17.44%; using Christian's SG figures Ken's 96g MeOH per 665g oil comes to 16.79% (according to this calculator at least). Anyway, rather more than 13%. What else would this apply to? I guess palm oil, tallow would also need more methanol, any others? - and any idea how much? Hydrogenated stuff too maybe? Could we figure out a table for the most common oils? Say soy, rapeseed/canola, corn, sunflower, cottonseed, peanut, olive, coconut, palm, tallow. That would be really useful. We'd need to know the FA breakdown of each, SG etc. There are some figures here for the main FAs: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/fatsoils/fatsoils2.html#2-2 Slightly different to Ken's for coconut though, and not for all the most common oils. Is the 3.5g per litre of catalyst, which is also put as low as 3.1 or higher than 4, also specific to oil type? Best wishes Keith Ken from Phillipines writes: in short there is around 1.74 moles of glycerine for every 1000 grams of refined coconut oil. From here i would need 5.22 moles of methanol or 210 ml of methanol. The receipe in journey to forever says to use 200 ml of methanol for every 1000 ml of oil and they say that has alot of excess already. So this is my dilema, are my calculations wrong. I wonder how Keith and the rest came up with the prescribed volume for methanol. The 200 ml per liter of oil is a little low for good conversion, even for the oils typically used over here, like soy and canola. It would be very low for coconut, which has a much lower molecular weight (i.e., one liter of coconut oil is more moles than one liter of soy oil, and therefore needs more moles of methanol to transesterify). I get a MW of about 665 for coconut oil (the whole molecule, with the glycerol). So stoich. for methanol would be 96g MeOH per 665g oil, and I'd recommend twice that (100% excess) for best conversion. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- Buy Stock for $4 and no minimums.

[biofuel] EREN Network News -- 05/15/02
= EREN NETWORK NEWS -- May 15, 2002 A weekly newsletter from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network (EREN). http://www.eren.doe.gov/ = Featuring: *News and Events Farm Bill Boosts Bioenergy Production, Renewable Energy Use Cargill Dow, Ashland to Produce Biobased Solvent GE Buys Enron Wind; Vestas Receives Large U.S. Wind Order New Jersey State Government Buys Green Power Six Green Tag Providers Earn Green-e Certification Rosebud Sioux to Build First Tribal Utility-Scale Turbine EPA Recognizes Nearly 300 Commuter Choice Leaders *Energy Facts and Tips EPA Examines Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector, Strength *About this Newsletter -- NEWS AND EVENTS -- Farm Bill Boosts Bioenergy Production, Renewable Energy Use President Bush signed the Farm Bill on Monday, ushering in a variety of programs to encourage the production of energy products on farms while providing incentives for farmers to increase their energy efficiency and their use of renewable energy resources. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman noted that the bill -- officially called the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 -- provides a renewed commitment to renewable fuels programs. See the U.S. Department of Agriculture press release at: http://www.usda.gov/news/releases/2002/05/0189.htm. Title IX of the bill specifically addresses energy, providing $204 million in subsidies over the next four years for producers of fuel-grade ethanol and biodiesel. It also provides $5 million to educate consumers about biodiesel and $6 million to establish a new program to encourage the purchase of biobased products by federal agencies. The new program will include an effort to establish voluntary labeling of biobased products. The bill encourages farmers to be energy efficient and to use renewable energy systems, including wind energy systems and anaerobic digesters, by providing $115 million over the next five years for low-interest loans, loan guarantees, and grants. It also extends the Biomass Research and Development Initiative through 2006, providing $75 million to continue the Initiative. See the Farm Bill summary on the U.S. Senate Web site at: http://www.senate.gov/~agriculture/Briefs/2001FarmBill/conframe.htm. For more details, including the complete text of the bill, see the link from the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition Forestry Web site at: http://www.senate.gov/~agriculture/. The Biomass Research and Development Initiative is a multi-agency effort to coordinate and accelerate all federal biobased products and bioenergy research and development. See the Initiative's Web site at: http://www.bioproducts-bioenergy.gov/. Cargill Dow, Ashland to Produce Biobased Solvent The biobased chemical industry took a large step forward in late April, when Cargill Dow LLC announced that it has signed a five-year agreement with Ashland Specialty Chemical Company to produce a biobased solvent. Biobased chemicals are produced from organic matter available on a renewable basis -- in this case, the solvent will be produced from corn. Biobased chemical production can potentially consume far less fossil fuels than conventional chemical production processes. Ashland will derive its ethyl lactate solvent from ethanol and a Cargill Dow polymer intermediate called lactide. Cargill Dow's lactide production, in turn, will draw on the company's new plant that produces lactic acid from corn. The electronics-grade solvent has many applications in the semiconductor industry. Since launching its new plant in April, Cargill Dow has also moved ahead on its NatureWorks products, which are produced from lactic acid. The company has demonstrated the superior flame resistance of its NatureWorks fiber, while a leading Italian supermarket is preparing to use NatureWorks materials to produce containers and film wrapping for its food products. By mid-summer, the supermarket plans to distribute fresh food and pasta in the corn-based packaging. See the Cargill Dow press releases at: http://www.cargilldow.com/news.asp. GE Buys Enron Wind; Vestas Receives Large U.S. Wind Order It's finally official: the company formerly known as Enron Wind Corporation is now called GE Wind Energy, a General Electric (GE) company. GE Power Systems announced the acquisition on May 10th. GE has not yet chosen the headquarters location for the new company, which is currently based in Tehachapi, California.

Ri:[biofuel] EREN Network News -- 05/15/02
It's what you wrote, but I am not agree, because we are discussing the problems about biofuels and here you introduced wind energy and solar energy. Best Regards Ezio = EREN NETWORK NEWS -- May 15, 2002 A weekly newsletter from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network (EREN). http://www.eren.doe.gov/ = Featuring: *News and Events Farm Bill Boosts Bioenergy Production, Renewable Energy Use Cargill Dow, Ashland to Produce Biobased Solvent GE Buys Enron Wind; Vestas Receives Large U.S. Wind Order New Jersey State Government Buys Green Power Six Green Tag Providers Earn Green-e Certification Rosebud Sioux to Build First Tribal Utility-Scale Turbine EPA Recognizes Nearly 300 Commuter Choice Leaders *Energy Facts and Tips EPA Examines Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector, Strength *About this Newsletter -- NEWS AND EVENTS -- Farm Bill Boosts Bioenergy Production, Renewable Energy Use President Bush signed the Farm Bill on Monday, ushering in a variety of programs to encourage the production of energy products on farms while providing incentives for farmers to increase their energy efficiency and their use of renewable energy resources. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman noted that the bill -- officially called the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 -- provides a renewed commitment to renewable fuels programs. See the U.S. Department of Agriculture press release at: http://www.usda.gov/news/releases/2002/05/0189.htm. Title IX of the bill specifically addresses energy, providing $204 million in subsidies over the next four years for producers of fuel-grade ethanol and biodiesel. It also provides $5 million to educate consumers about biodiesel and $6 million to establish a new program to encourage the purchase of biobased products by federal agencies. The new program will include an effort to establish voluntary labeling of biobased products. The bill encourages farmers to be energy efficient and to use renewable energy systems, including wind energy systems and anaerobic digesters, by providing $115 million over the next five years for low-interest loans, loan guarantees, and grants. It also extends the Biomass Research and Development Initiative through 2006, providing $75 million to continue the Initiative. See the Farm Bill summary on the U.S. Senate Web site at: http://www.senate.gov/~agriculture/Briefs/2001FarmBill/conframe.htm. For more details, including the complete text of the bill, see the link from the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition Forestry Web site at: http://www.senate.gov/~agriculture/. The Biomass Research and Development Initiative is a multi-agency effort to coordinate and accelerate all federal biobased products and bioenergy research and development. See the Initiative's Web site at: http://www.bioproducts-bioenergy.gov/. Cargill Dow, Ashland to Produce Biobased Solvent The biobased chemical industry took a large step forward in late April, when Cargill Dow LLC announced that it has signed a five-year agreement with Ashland Specialty Chemical Company to produce a biobased solvent. Biobased chemicals are produced from organic matter available on a renewable basis -- in this case, the solvent will be produced from corn. Biobased chemical production can potentially consume far less fossil fuels than conventional chemical production processes. Ashland will derive its ethyl lactate solvent from ethanol and a Cargill Dow polymer intermediate called lactide. Cargill Dow's lactide production, in turn, will draw on the company's new plant that produces lactic acid from corn. The electronics-grade solvent has many applications in the semiconductor industry. Since launching its new plant in April, Cargill Dow has also moved ahead on its NatureWorks products, which are produced from lactic acid. The company has demonstrated the superior flame resistance of its NatureWorks fiber, while a leading Italian supermarket is preparing to use NatureWorks materials to produce containers and film wrapping for its food products. By mid-summer, the supermarket plans to distribute fresh food and pasta in the corn-based packaging. See the Cargill Dow press releases at: http://www.cargilldow.com/news.asp. GE Buys Enron Wind; Vestas Receives Large U.S. Wind Order It's finally official: the company formerly known as Enron Wind Corporation is now called GE Wind Energy, a General Electric (GE) company.

[biofuel] Re: [renewable-energy] to Laughing Max
Ernie, Thank you for your two cents worth of sage advice, as it turns out, Steve and I have had some conversation on the matter. Please consider the following points: 1: I apologized to Steve for any reference to him as being a GOOF and certainly extend that apology to any of you that took offense. In actuality, I never did specifically refer to Steve as a goofball. 2: The goofball comment was directed at the author of the editorial comments that Steve emailed to everyone, while I found it hard to believe that Steve wrote such nonsense, there was no reference as to who did and no comments made by Steve. It had the appearance that this was from Steve... and was way below his intelligence level. 3: In our correspondence, it comes out that he found the article from someone he thought was intelligent and who he could trust and passed it on to all of us without really reading the material... he even went so far as to say he did not (say) some of the stuff that WAS said. I think he finally read it through and had one of those defining moments... 4: The fact that Steve DID NOT write the material and DOES NOT endorse it makes a lot more sense and Steve agrees he should be a lot more careful in forwarding material in the future. If I had not been offensive it may never have dawned on Steve that he was making these kinds of errors. Worse, some of you, knowing Steve is a very smart advocate of AE/RE/EE might somehow believe the material or repeat the material... the snowball effect of STUPID could be devastating! Having said all of that, I will re state my position... such drivel as that material is GOOFBALL and the person that wrote it is a prize winning GOOF! and I don't give a ratz a$$ if that is making fun of people or not. It is true and I could just as easily use much stronger language... we have no place in AE/RE/EE for STUPID, we don't have the time and we can not afford the cost of alienating the public, who generally already looks at us as strange (to say the least) because of the press the lunatic fringe gets. Making stupid comments about earthquakes being caused by pumping oil or that burring alcohol produces no emissions.. does NOT help the cause! I know I come across to a lot of you as a loud mouth jerk... will perhaps I am, but if you follow what I am loud mouthed about, you may see a certain pattern... I deeply dislike radical extremists (on either side of the political spectrum), hucksters and dimbulbs who think they know everything and know NOTHING. It is false to say that we need to be extreme to counteract the Big Oil side this only creates chaos and the general public turns away especially when we seek to force our will through legislation that mandates they do what WE feel is right.

[biofuel] Toyota's Green Machines
NOVEMBER 13, 2000 NEWSMAKER QA The Man behind Toyota's Green Machines Hiroyuki Watanabe explains how his team developed the revolutionary gas-electric Prius and what's coming next in clean cars -snip- Q: Which system is the greenest? A: We approach this in a very holistic way. The conventional way to evaluate emissions is to simply measure waste gases at the tailpipe while the car is running. A better way is to calculate the net environmental load of the vehicle -- this is sometimes called well to pump plus pump to wheel costs. The first half [well to pump] counts for the cost of extracting and processing the fuel. The second half [pump to wheel] is the traditional measure of how efficient a vehicle is at converting fuel into motion. Using this method, the environmental impact of different engine systems can be surprising. For example, gas engines are about 84% efficient from well to pump, but just 15% efficient from pump to wheel. But the overall efficiency is about 13%. [MH: to figure efficiency multiply 0.84 x 0.15 = 0.126 or about 13% ] Hybrid cars do much better by this measure. From well to pump, they are about 84% efficient. And from pump to wheel, they are 30% efficient. So, for a hybrid, overall well-to-wheel efficiency is 25%. [MH: to figure efficiency multiply 0.84 x 0.30 = 0.252 or about 25% ] For battery-only vehicles, overall efficiency is about 21%. [MH: coal to electricity is about 30%, grid efficiency 90%, battery charging efficiency 90%, motor efficiency 90%. To figure efficiency multiply 0.30 x 0.90 x 0.90 x 0.90 = 0.2187 or hmmm ] http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/nov2000/nf20001113_736.htm [MH: The interview also included fuel cells and diesel engine, etc ] Yahoo!

[biofuel] FW: Problelms with FUELCELL Vehicles
-Original Message- From: USH2 HYDROGEN NEWS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problelms with FUELCELL Vehicles Most people view a fuel cell as a magical little box. Hydrogen and air is put in one side and magically electricity comes out the other side. No moving parts and no noise. Fuel cells of the size needed to move a vehicle down the road are considerable heat engines. On a REALLY good day, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell MIGHT be 40% efficient. That is if it can get its heat away fast enough. Where is the heat coming from?? If a fuel cell is only 40% efficient, then the other 60% of the energy going into the fuel cell comes out as heat. In small fuel cells this heat is dissipated though the case to the air. In a large fuel cell it does not have enough case surface area to shed its heat fast enough. The fuel cell can get too hot and destroy its membrane and BYE BYE, you just lost your $5000 / kilowatt fuel cell. In order to remove the heat fast enough a large fuel cell has a cooling system built into it. The cooling system is either on the fuel cell case or is normally built into the plates that form the internal cells. ( to see the internals of a fuel cell, get the 7 Hour Video Hydrogen / Fuel Cell Seminar at http://www.KnowledgePublications.com ) These can be air cooled or liquid cooled and in the case of a vehicle the fuel cell is usually liquid cooled. Well... now you need liquid pumps, blower fans, heat exchangers and other apparatus. There goes your quiet no moving parts and magical fuel cell. Where is the energy coming from to run the coolant pump, the blower fan and the control equipment? It is coming from the fuel cell and subtracting from that nice 40% (on a good day) efficient number. For the same horse power ( or kilowatts) of energy, a fuel cell must have a LARGER cooling system than the same sized internal combustion engine. Why?? The IC engine has two streams for its waste heat. These are the exhaust pipe and the cooling system (radiator). VERY roughly, for every BTU of gasoline one third of the energy leaves the vehicle in the exhaust pipe, one third gets lost in the cooling system and the other third goes into the crank of the engine to move the vehicle. ( the energy going into the crank now has to run the alternator, power steering, A/C compressor, radiator fan, and loose more energy in the transmission, drive line, axle and tires ). So the waste heat ( about 66% of the incoming BTU's) goes about evenly into the exhaust and the radiator. Half this waste heat goes right to the air by the exhaust. It is gone. The other half goes into the cooling system and is rejected from the vehicle by air flowing through the radiator. The coolant temperature of an average IC engine running near its maximum horse power rating can get NO higher than about 250F ( in an average cooling system ) before harm starts happening to the engine. Why does this mean a fuel cell vehicle must have a larger cooling system? Because a fuel cell must reject ALL of its 60% of the incoming BTU's of energy into a COOLING SYSTEM. It is too dense physically to reject all of its waste heat to an air stream. So size for size a fuel cell must reject approximately twice the BTU's through a liquid medium cooling system than the same sized IC engine would, but it gets worse. The IC engine has a maximum coolant temp of 250F, the fuel cell has a maximum coolant temp of 160F. If you have a hot day, lets say 100F ambient ( and we use to test in 130F ambient), then the rate of heat rejection between 160F coolant and 100F air is MUCH LOWER than the heat rejection from 250F coolant and 100F air. Not only does the fuel cell have to remove double the heat as an IC engine it must have a double sized radiator because it has a lower temperature differential (called delta T) for heat exchange to the atmosphere. So, before we start doing engineering tricks to make a fuel cell vehicle work, we are looking at starting with a cooling system about 4 times the size of one for the same size IC engine. OUCH!! For engineering tricks, the same thing is done for a fuel cell vehicle that was done for a battery-powered vehicle; the size of the vehicle is decreased and the 'engine' is decreased in size. Instead of 100 horse power there is the electrical equivalent of a 25 horse power fuel cell in the vehicle. This is ok for a vehicle to drive to the corner coffee shop in California for the morning double mocha with non-dairy no whip foam with sprinkles, but for a working vehicle, a truck that must haul a load it will not work. It takes a given amount of horse power to haul load, it does not matter if it is a fuel cell or an IC engine, the same amount of work must be done to move a given weight up a hill or against the wind with a normal rolling resistance and that given amount of horsepower is going to need a 'given' size of a

[biofuel] Fwd: Spray Weeds With Vinegar?

To: ARS News subscriber [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: ARS News Service [EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: ARS News Service [EMAIL PROTECTED] STORY LEAD: Spray Weeds With Vinegar? ___ ARS News Service Agricultural Research Service, USDA Don Comis, (301) 504-1625, [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 15, 2002 ___ Some home gardeners already use vinegar as a herbicide, and some garden stores sell vinegar pesticides. But no one has tested it scientifically until now. Agricultural Research Service scientists offer the first scientific evidence that it may be a potent weedkiller that is inexpensive and environmentally safe--perfect for organic farmers. ARS researchers Jay Radhakrishnan, John R. Teasdale and Ben Coffman in Beltsville, Md., tested vinegar on major weeds--common lamb's-quarters, giant foxtail, velvetleaf, smooth pigweed and Canada thistle--in greenhouse and field studies. They hand-sprayed the weeds with various solutions of vinegar, uniformly coating the leaves. The researchers found that 5- and 10-percent concentrations killed the weeds during their first two weeks of life. Older plants required higher concentrations of vinegar to kill them. At the higher concentrations, vinegar had an 85- to 100-percent kill rate at all growth stages. A bottle of household vinegar is about a 5-percent concentration. Canada thistle, one of the most tenacious weeds in the world, proved the most susceptible; the 5-percent concentration had a 100-percent kill rate of the perennial's top growth. The 20-percent concentration can do this in about 2 hours. Spot spraying of cornfields with 20 percent vinegar killed 80 to 100 percent of weeds without harming the corn, but the scientists stress the need for more research. If the vinegar were sprayed over an entire field, it would cost about $65 per acre. If applied to local weed infestations only, such as may occur in the crop row after cultivation, it may only cost about $20 to $30. The researchers use only vinegar made from fruits or grains, to conform to organic farming standards.

Please consider the following points: 1: I apologized to Steve for any reference to him as being a GOOF and certainly extend that apology to any of you that took offense. In actuality, I never did specifically refer to Steve as a goofball. 2: The goofball comment was directed at the author of the editorial comments that Steve emailed to everyone, while I found it hard to believe that Steve wrote such nonsense, there was no reference as to who did and no comments made by Steve. It had the appearance that this was from Steve... and was way below his intelligence level. 3: In our correspondence, it comes out that he found the article from someone he thought was intelligent and who he could trust and passed it on to all of us without really reading the material... he even went so far as to say he did not (say) some of the stuff that WAS said. I think he finally read it through and had one of those defining moments... 4: The fact that Steve DID NOT write the material and DOES NOT endorse it makes a lot more sense and Steve agrees he should be a lot more careful in forwarding material in the future. If I had not been offensive it may never have dawned on Steve that he was making these kinds of errors. Worse, some of you, knowing Steve is a very smart advocate of AE/RE/EE might somehow believe the material or repeat the material... the snowball effect of STUPID could be devastating! Having said all of that, I will re state my position... such drivel as that material is GOOFBALL and the person that wrote it is a prize winning GOOF! and I don't give a ratz a$$ if that is making fun of people or not. It is true and I could just as easily use much stronger language... we have no place in AE/RE/EE for STUPID, we don't have the time and we can not afford the cost of alienating the public, who generally already looks at us as strange (to say the least) because of the press the lunatic fringe gets. Making stupid comments about earthquakes being caused by pumping oil or that burring alcohol produces no emissions.. does NOT help the cause! I know I come across to a lot of you as a loud mouth jerk... will perhaps I am, but if you follow what I am loud mouthed about, you may see a certain pattern... I deeply dislike radical extremists (on either side of the political spectrum), hucksters and dimbulbs who think they know everything and know NOTHING. It is false to say that we need to be extreme to counteract the Big Oil side this only creates chaos and the general public turns away especially when we seek to force our will through legislation that mandates they do what WE feel is right.

Ethanol is always spoken of as not energy efficient. I take to mean that more energy needs to be poured in than comes out in the form of ethanol. Got THAT. Makes sense ... since ethanol is sort of an energy carrier energy-in minus less-than-100%-efficiency equal smaller energy-out. My dumb question is that ... why not build a AE power plant next to it?? Like a solar, hydro, wind or whatever?? Then use the ethanol as an energy carrier. To liquefy the AE's output to a storable form. I can't understand why the argument goes to not energy efficient and then DIES right there. I mean, the ethanol plant is a stationary plant ... it doesn't move anywhere!! My second thing is just a comment. They always say that the emission controls with ethanol would be more complicated. But I think that's only because the vehicle is trying to be dual-fueled. I used to work on LPG/gasoline vehicle and the only reason for the complication is that the emission controls had to switch back -n- forth when it is dual-fueled. I think if it were only optimized for one fuel (like ethanol, things would be just fine. Curtis --- Jeremy Shuey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --snip Ethanol is an alcohol fuel (and motor-fuel additive derived from corn; thus it is touted as a way to help end America's dependence upon Middle Eastern oil, as well as a means of helping the environment. But ethanol is no environmental panacea; nor is it energy-efficient. Far from it. Producing ethanol is costly and complex, and uses up more oil-based energy resources than the gasoline and other motor fuels it would ostensibly replace. And burning ethanol in an internal-combustion engine creates environmental problems, too, which add to the complexity of the air-quality problem by throwing yet another variable into the emissions-control equation. Multiple types of fuel, and different requirements regarding fuel additives, make it harder for the auto industry to develop effective new emissions-control equipment. Different fuel types and additive packages can (and do) compromise the effectiveness and long-term durability of the emissions-control equipment already in service. = Join the Revolution! http://thincnet.com/revolution9/downline/vdownline.html?9107 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [biofuel] Re: [renewable-energy] to Laughing Max
I'll chip in 2 cents. Years ago I used to burn #1 kerosene with a blue flame with momentary yellow flames and noticeable odor. Substituted denatured grain ethyl alcohol having a slightly blue but generally invisible flame and I don't remember if there was a odor not to say there wasn't. Regarding oil pumping I'd imagine the petroleum geologists and engineers would replace the crude oil with water, from where, which might lower water tables unless they use salt water from the sea but then that might taint the aquifers in there own way. This can't be much different then what the coal companies do can it? Wonder if theres a difference in weight displacement via volume or the removal of mineral resources effecting ground water volume via their extraction ? Clarification is welcomed, Thank you! Yahoo!

RE: [biofuel] Re: Fwd: Spray Weeds With Vinegar?
I've heard of water used instead of vinegar in that method. Never tried it myself. I just let chickens free range outside the garden and insect count is kept down.
