How about combining the glycerin with nitrogen to create
nitroglycerin? I know, nitrogen is explosive but so is hydrogen.
The engines in our vehicles are using what is called "explosion
propulsion".

Nitro-glycerine is a high explosive; the shock wave
expands faster than the speed of sound. Not a good idea inside an enclosed
space. Chris.

Great. NOW you tell me.

Hi Rob
ok so this thread has drifted quite far from my original inquiry.
Sorry about that.
I was looking for specific, or even close estimates, of the acrolein
emissions from glycerol burning in an open flame boiler/burner
unit..not for its use as a motor fuel, or its combination with
Thanks Keith,
Well I have a few thoughts on the burning...
I WAS hoping I could burn it in a Turk style (perhaps scaled up) burner, to
heat water for various process uses..but I am concerned with the emissions...
Another idea is to offload it to someone already in the pollution business
LOL
all jokes aside, though, that's actually an interesting idea. if it were
possible to keep the N and glycerine separate, and inject them into
the cylinder
where they would combine, then explode. . . .
of course, there's the question of how energy efficient this would be (i'm
assuming it
How about using nitrox, as in used in recreational diving? I suppose
that there is a need for energy to combine the nitrogen with the
glycerin, to make the chemical reaction happen. Maybe carry 2 tanks (one
of glycerin and one of nitrox)? There might be a pre-combustion chamber
where a spark
Who knows, I might be right next to you. ;-)

i'm not a chemist or engineer. anything beyond the very general and
hypothetical comments i made previously are beyond me. this line of inquiry
raises so
many questions which i really don't consider myself competent to comment on

The chemical kinetics of fire is not understood very well. Smoking a cigarette will produce thousands of intermediate radicals, which will lead to thousands of end products, many of which are harmful. Altering temperature and other variables will lead to different end products. So unless you have

Have the big black helicopters landed in your back yard yet? How 'bout the guys in the black suits?
All you have to do now is type the word Jihad and.
