Todd Swearingen so what can be done to bio-diesel to lower the gel point? I know that adding gasoline to diesel in winter is done by some to stop diesel gelling in winters lower temperatures. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- 4 DVDs Free +sp Join Now

Lee, First thing? Utilize alcohols such as isopropanol and isobutyl rather than methanol. To what degree the process would need to be altered to achieve high conversion ratios isn't clear, but there would almost assuredly need to be some alterations. You could just fractionally distill the

Re: [biofuel] Air car.

they don't :-) technically, a compressed tank of air runs a air motor (steam engine) connected to the wheels. unfortunately, you can't carry enough air for a reasonable range, and you waste much more energy compressing the air, than you get back from it. for further info, see

Re: [biofuel] Air car.

PREThe air car makes sense, I don't know much but I know that air under pressure could ignite it's energy. The only problem is that it takes a large quantity of air for such a small amount of energy.I' heard about ten years ago that an engine can run on air alone so this is not something new.

It makes sense until you do an energy analysis. Efficient compression requires the temperature stay the same. In practice this is very much NOT the case and thus in the real world losses are huge. Kirk -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday,
