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 would be pretty efficient since nitroglycerine is so extremely explosive). and what emissions would be like. and whether creating nitroglycerine is as easy and simple as that in the first place. -chris In a message dated 7/17/05 2:46:35 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << 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". Exploding fuel pushes against pistons which are linked to a shaft, which is linked to the transmission. There must be a safe way to use nitroglycerin. >> _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
