Hi Luc ; Thanks for your response. Yes those totes are available locally for around $50. They are quite convenient with their portability. I used one a few years ago in a small roadside motorcycle washing operation. I plan to include rainwater catching on all buildings. The problem is that

Hi Peggy ; Thanks for your post. I am tip-toeing here a little because I would never say I know as much as you about the ethanol/methanol debate. When someone knows more than me, my tendency is usually to shut up and listen. Because I fully and absolutely intend to build a still and distill

Hi Peggy ; LOTS of good info in this ethanol process post. OK! I think you'll get a few serious inquiries. The last time I visitied the rice mash distillery, I floated the idea of the Charles 803 at around $600. They were not too interested at all. So this will take some time. I have

Hi Eric ; Yes centrifugal and centripetal are confusing. Let me try. Let's say you set a bowling ball down on the bowling lane so it is stationary. Now you push the ball down the lane with your hand. Your hand feels a force pushing back from the ball, but is it really a force? No it isn't.

Hi Z and All ; The tallest mountains on the earth are in the ocean. This is because the seawater helps support their weight. There exists a maximum height for mountains on the earth and not in the ocean. It is about 40,000 feet (going from memory here). Higher than that and the pressure at
