I was thinking about building a generator out of a small 3.5 or higher briggs and straton engine, and a voltage regulated alternator. I wanted to use alcohol as a fuel, but I see things in engine manuals such as:
? Do not use gasohal or gasoline alcohol fuel blends. My briggs and straton manual says the same thing, and so do other places, but why? Why can't I use alcohol in the generator? I'm aware that alcohol mixed with gas will burn more completely (possibly burn hotter) but my understanding is that alcohol when burned by itself burns substantially cooler (thus nascar uses it). I'd like to build a small 12 vdc generator out of a gmc or other such alternator with its own voltage regulator, and power it with a briggs and strat or some such engine burning alcohol Suggestions? ------------------------ Yahoo!
