 Mini-turbine brings 'green power for all'

 Company claims its domestic wind unit can provide 15% of average
 household's electricity needs

 John Vidal, environment editor
 Monday November 24, 2003
 The Guardian

 The winds of change will blow a little stronger this morning when a
 small Scottish company launches Britain's first wind power system
 designed to be fitted on almost any roof or wall to supplement
 electricity from the grid.

 Just two days after Britain's biggest offshore wind farm started
 generating electricity off the north Wales coast, the designers of
 the tiny domestic unit believe they can provide up to 15% of the
 annual electricity needs of an average house for a one-off cost of
 £750 - bringing green electricity into the price range of most
 families.

 The machine, a 3ft by 2ft sealed box with three blades which face
 into the prevailing wind, is backed by the energy minister, Brian
 Wilson, who is a paid consultant for Windsave, the company behind it.

 Unlike old-style domestic wind generators, which needed a lot of
 land, sat on top of poles and drove pumps and a few bulbs for farmers
 and backwoodsmen, the machine does not need batteries to store the
 electricity. Instead, it tops up the existing mains supply.

 Unlike bigger systems, it cannot sell excess power back into the
 grid. But the company believes it has cracked the holy grail of
 renewable energy - getting government subsidies and making the
 machines silent.

 In theory, there are handouts both for installation and for Rocs -
 renewable obligation charges - which currently pay green electricity
 providers about 6p per kilowatt-hour generated.

 The system, says the Scottish inventor David Gordon, who has pumped
 £1m into the idea, can generate up to 750 watts - enough to power
 lights but not high-energy items such as kettles or heaters.

 Nobody has been able to take raw wind power and put it straight into
 the domestic electrical system at 240 volts, he said. We will be
 able to bring green energy to the masses.

 Mr Wilson, who has declared his interest in the company on the House
 of Commons register and has no financial share in it, was
 enthusiastic. I have looked at it upside down and sideways for a
 catch and I don't think there is one. The amazing thing is its
 affordability.

 It will be a few hundred quid, you do your bit for the environment,
 and you get a cheque back once a year. What more can you want? It's
 been though all the standard checks and everyone who's seen it is of
 the same opinion.

 Mr Gordon admits that his invention is not as technically efficient
 as turbines sited on high poles to collect the optimum wind, but says
 that it is the annual supplementing of household electricity which
 makes it suitable for buildings. The machine starts working at a wind
 speed of 3mph and is said to be most efficient in a 20mph breeze -
 common for much of the year across large parts of Britain.

 Using the remote metering technology which made Mr Gordon's fortune
 after he sold his company to BT, each unit installed will be
 automatically phoned every quarter to see how much electricity it has
 generated.

 The company will then collect the subsidy from the government and
 distribute it back to owners according to how much they have
 generated. We believe the payback period could be as little as 30
 months, said Mr Gordon.

 The British Wind Energy Association, which represents large-scale
 windpower generators, professed itself amazed at the development. If
 it works, it's fantastic, said spokeswoman Alison Hill.

 Yesterday it was provisionally backed by Country Guardian, the lobby
 group which has opposed almost every planning application submitted
 for windpower development in Britain in the past decade.

 I think they are a good idea. I don't think they'll look very
 beautiful, but we always feel that it's the people in cities who use
 the power and that we in the country have to pay the price, said Ann
 Evans, a vice-president.

 Local planners may be divided about whether the innovations need
 planning permission. Technically, they do not, says Mr Gordon, if
 they are sited below the highest point of houses. But many local
 authorities and heritage groups objected strongly at first to
 satellite dishes, and may not want to see large boxes with spinning
 blades put up.

 The machines are to be made outside Edinburgh. Local authorities,
 government offices and light industry will be targeted first,
 followed by householders in about three months.

 One of my customers for biodiesel is a musician.  He decided to build a
new
 recording studio behind his house.  First job was to excavate for the
 foundations.  Being a Brit. and careful with money, he hired a small
digger
 and had 6 friends come round with wheelbarrows to shift the surplus earth.
 On the first day, they all complained about the choking diesel fumes from
 the digger.  The second day, the musician syphoned biodiesel out from the
 tank of his car and used that to re-fuel the digger.  The 6 friends were
 very happy (but still complained that they felt hungry).  The digger
didn't
 seem to notice any difference.
 True.

what's that again about homebrewers???


 Hi Keith,
 I'd like to comment on the standardisation of FAME. I think, different
 analysis results are probably due to the different specifications,
accepted
 by different laboratories. As far as I know the standardisation of
biodiesel
 is not yet completed in Europe. The detailed information can be found:
 http://www.liquid-biofuels.com/Blt_ntb.pdf
 I do not know the situation in USA.
 I agree that home brewers can destroy the market if they produce and sell
 bad-products.  Many of them are not equipped with  proper facilities for
 analysis. Making biodiesel is easy but the analysis is not. Home brewers
 must measure (at least) the amount of glycerol separated during the FAME
 production which indicates the completion degree of the reaction. And of
 course the washing is extremely important to remove any glycerol and
 mono-glycerides. Excessive emulsification during the washing may indicate
 the presence of too much mono-glycerides and soaps (an uncompleted
 reaction). And of course it is not possible to remove any unreacted
veg-oil
 by washing.
 I think, if someone is going to do this job seriously, he must have some
 facilities to do at least some of the analysis, such as acid value,
 saponification value, viscosity, density, water content  and even the
iodine
 value which are not too difficult and can be done in a simple laboratory.
 Analysis of free and total glycerol and monoglycerides are a bit more
 difficult (see the above web-page for the methods).

 Dr.levent yuceer

  Hi Mark
 
  Hi folks,
  This just turned up on the Biodieselnow forum (and apparently in
response
  to something on tdiclub I believe). Someone was complaining about what
 they
  thought to be poor quality biodiesel.
  
  It then came up that there was some other complaints about World Energy
  biodiesel sold recently in the Pacific Northwest, if I understand
  correctly. Then someone emailed Graham Noyes. then the following came
 back
  from World Energy. The Dr Dan referred to is a small independent
 biodiesel
  retailer.
  
Now what's that again about homebrewers, quality, and out-of-spec
fuel,
  and the quality control standards that only industry can provide??
 
  This is very ironic! Rhetorical question Mark, but for those who
  weren't around at the time or don't remember, this is what Graham
  Noyes said here:
 
  The big fear of the biodiesel industry is that homebrewers
  are going to destroy the market.  I have seen home-brewed biodiesel
  cause problems in multiple locations and it has taken significant
  efforts to undo the damage. One region of the country in particular
  had large quantities of homegrown off-spec fuel that was being sold
  and distributed.  The use of biodiesel was substantially delayed in
  this area until trust for the fuel was re-established.
 
  Under considerable pressure, with charges that this was an apocryphal
  yarn, a Big Industry myth, and demands for substantiation, it became
  this:
 
  I did not fabricate tales of vehicle problems from homebrew to
  denigrate DIY's but to share my experience.  There were a signficant
  number of reports of downed vehicles in a particular area (not
  destroyed, just clogged) of the country last year that I learned
  about through my full-time work with biodiesel users in the West.  I
  am not going to get more specific than that because I learned about
  these vehicles second-hand (though from several different people)
  and I have no direct personal knowledge regarding what happened.
 
  Which finally, to Graham's credit, became this:
 
  I apologize that I have not been doing a better job of addressing
  many of the specific points made but I simply cannot keep up with
  the prolific nature of this group.  After some experience here, I
  have a much better understanding of the efforts that are being made
  to make top-quality fuel.  I also think I should provide some more
  details regarding my perspective on homebrew (and should have been
  more careful about sweeping statements in the first place).  While I
  do nothing but biodiesel 40-70 hours/week, I have not seen any
  significant problems result from the use of homebrew.  There are
  concerns but these are primarily perception rather than experience.
  That said, I think the more that is done for quality control for
  everyone involved in the production and distribution of biodiesel,
  the better.  So I  hope that everyone's input

   the development of a fuel-sensor, which can

I wrote the following for publication at Energy Saving Now, please look,
comment, correct and suggest a good heading, I took the heading for this
discussion as a temporary one and maybe it is the best. I would also be
happy if Keith could look at the language.

Perspective on Oil Dependencies
---
It does not take much knowledge in mathematics to understand that the
equations in the demand and supply situation is impossible. See attached
article from New York Times [Dec 27, 2002] WASHINGTON Dec. 25 (will be a
link on the site).  We have said this many times in our discussions. Middle
East have 70% of the oil reserves, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have more than
half of those. According to professor Hubbert's calculations for production
from finite resources, Middle east is at the moment at the peak of
production capacity and will not have the capacity to meet the demands.
professor Hubbert's methods have proven to be quite accurate during the
last 50 years of experiences from them.

It is no relief for the world and it is no escape from the dependence of
Middle East oil reserves. North America who is taking around a third of
the  current oil production, or half of the industrialized countries use of
oil, is already at a difficult junction. They have to chose if they are
going to secure the oil supplies by force and occupation or trust
democratic and peaceful means. The peaceful route is very insecure,
especially with the current Israel - Palestine problem, that have to be
solved very fast if it should be possible. Israel is a loose canon with its
current policies of occupation and suppression. US and UK are in favor of
the occupation of Iraq. They would in this case secure the Iraqi oil and
with enough troops in Iraq, they would have sufficient pressure on Saudi
Arabia to make them walk the line. Iraq with Saddam Hussein nor the
Palestine resistant movements are smart enough to realize that a
confrontation policy is at this time the worst they can do, since it gives
US and UK the alibi for occupation. All alternatives in this equation is
high risk games and can backfire, the occupation alternative has a very
short window of opportunity, if it should have any excuses based on war
against terrorism or weapons of mass destruction. Passing this window, an
occupation have to be done in the light of a brutal and illegal occupation,
against a popular world opinion including and the popular support in UK and
US. that maybe make it impossible to do.

The oil industry are not helping and are basically divided in two camps.
The Dutch based Shell and some other minor oil companies, against the US,
UK and other major oil companies. It is almost pathetic to see the
resistant towards ethanol and biodiesel/SVO, with the propaganda war in
Australia as the current and most visible example. It is also pathetic to
see the slow phase of implementing energy saving measures. This in a time
when our achievements the next 10 to 20 years are going to be the most
crucial in modern times.

For emerging industrial nations and developing countries, it is no space in
the oil equation. It does not take much of mathematical and political
knowledge to come to this conclusion. The only road to continuing
development is aggressive energy conservation and alternative energy
sources. The successes are gong to be measured in how fast the can develop
oil independence.

 Dear Andrew,

 I have been an entrepreneur for the most part of my active live and
 started quite a few businesses and if you adapt your ambitions, goals
 and methods as you go along, it could be a valuable contribution. I
 have been actively involved in businesses in more than 14 countries
 and have some points for you, apart that you should listen carefully
 to Keith and think about what he is saying,

 1. A business plan is a map that from its start is very rough and needs
 to be adjusted all the time. The old joke about military who says If
 the map does not fit with the terrain, follow the map, is disastrous
 for business. Therefore I would talk more about adaption than alignment.
 I do not know how much experiences you have from early startup
 phases, but recognize that you have participated in business planning
 and have experiences.

 2. It is knowledge, enthusiasm, energy and stubbornness that creates
 new businesses and markets for them. Values that are a prerequisite for
 any ground breaking work. It is very few large companies that can live
 with entrepreneurs, the only one I have close work experiences from, was
 ITT, when Harold Geneen was still in charge. By the way, I was shocked
 by his language the only time I participated in a meeting with him, very
 American. What made ITT was its decentralized structure and at the
 time the best flexible planning, budget, accounting and follow up system.

 3. Entrepreneurs are very much like artists and if you are a gallery
 representing artists, you need to be humble, supportive, show patience
 and respect for the work they do. To represent artists is an art in it
self.

 I could go on forever to talk about starting up a business and all the
 things that happens, but the three points above are most important.

 I think that your goals of helping is better served by a number of
 business plan templates, flexibility and adaption. Rather than standard
 planning and alignment. It could be a very valuable help for many and
 can also result in strength of a loosely knit interest organization.

 Thanks for your candid feedback and good ideas.  Before I address your
 specific points and

this
 group as I see it, through a hypothetical:
 
 On the consumer side, if I am in New York and I'm interested in questions
 like:
 
 a) how my kid can ride to school in a cleaner bus
 b) who in NY city government can I call to demand that she ride to school
in
 a cleaner bus
 c) what vehicle I can buy TODAY that can be more environmentally friendly
 d) why the local staff of my favorite environmental organizations don't
 support biodiesel
 e) what the heck is the connection between fossil fuels and the
destruction

 f) what local businesses should I patronize that are running
environmentally
 friendly vehicles
 
 ... it is currently quite a time consuming and daunting task to find
those
 answers, and most people with jobs and families simply aren't going to.
I
 think we can assist people in educating themselves on
 local/regional-specific level, and grow our political consituency and the
 market demand for BD, as a result, and in turn effect greater change.
 
 Similarly, on the business side, if I am in New York and I want to start
a
 local environmentally and socially-responsible energy business, I'm
trying
 to assess questions like:
 
 a) what are the local market opportunities are and who (fleet owners,
 building managers with boilers, etc.) controls them,
 b) what is the local tax/incentive situation
 c) who is already in the business locally that I might partner or have to
 compete with
 d) how I can get effective local PR done to help my fledgling local
business
 grow, etc.?
 
 Or if I own a local business with a vehicle fleet and I have heard of
this
 thing called BD but don't know where to get it, I want answers to
questions
 like:
 
 a) what my range of choices of suppliers would be
 b) what the difference between buying BD from soybean oil from World
Energy
 and buying from someone that has processed recycled oil from Chinatown

 In all these cases is quite difficult to find reliable answers in context

 locally-specific questions such as these.  The result is fewer

 Canada ethanol plants need federal help-industry

 CANADA: December 13, 2002

 WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Lack of startup capital and marginal returns
 could put the brakes on plans to expand Canada's ethanol industry,
 despite an optimistic outlook announced in one Prairie province.

 The Manitoba government said it will consider fostering the industry
 by mandating the use of cleaner ethanol-blended gasoline in the
 province.

 But unless the federal government creates more appealing tax
 incentives, similar to those available for U.S. ethanol producers,
 plans in Manitoba and other parts of Canada will stall, said Bliss
 Baker, president of the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association.

 Without these additional incentives, I suspect we will not have much
 of an ethanol industry - period - in the future, Baker told Reuters.

 The lobby group met with federal finance officials this week to plead
 for Ottawa to double tax incentives to 20 Canadian cents (13 U.S.
 cents) a litre in the next federal budget, due in February.

 U.S. incentives equal to 23 Canadian cents a litre have helped boost
 that market enough to spur the opening of one new ethanol plant each
 month this year, Baker said.

 Five Canadian plants currently produce about 235 million litres (62
 million U.S. gallons) a year of the high-octane, water-free alcohol
 made from grain, and import another 100 million litres annually from
 the United States.

 Ethanol-blended gasoline emits lower levels of greenhouse gases. By
 2010, Ottawa wants a third of Canadian gasoline to contain ethanol as
 part of its plan to implement the Kyoto protocol.

 That would create an annual market for 1.33 billion litres of
 ethanol, Baker said.

 But current returns on ethanol production are marginal, at best,
 Baker said, meaning investors and banks are reluctant to sink money
 into plants that cost C$100 million ($64 million) on average.

 Our view is we can't get there without some type of initial
 incentives to help finance plants, Baker said.

 MANITOBA SAYS WANTS TO BECOME LEADER

 Manitoba, the province that was home to the country's first ethanol
 plant 20 years ago, could produce up to 140 million litres a year,
 according to a government-commission study released this week.

 We've intentionally focused on an approach that would maximize local
 investment and economic benefits for rural Manitoba, said Garth
 Manness, head of Credit Union Central, who led the study.

 But it will cost more to produce ethanol in Manitoba than in the
 neighboring province of Saskatchewan, or nearby states like Minnesota
 and South Dakota, a prominent agricultural economist told Reuters.

 That's because Manitoba farmers don't grow enough wheat and would
 have to import feed to supply both hog farms and ethanol plants, said
 Daryl Kraft of the University of Manitoba.

 The only caution I have is to the investors who are going to put
 their money into these processing facilities: they better proceed
 with due diligence, Kraft said.

 Manness said farmers would grow more feed wheat if they could access
 higher-yielding varieties, currently unavailable in Canada.

   Apologies to those on multiple lists for all the cross-posting.
  
   I spammed a couple of the biofuel-related lists last week with some
   complaints about trying to make biodiesel in the midst of some
dramatic
   local weather. We got the first real winter storm, serious rain- the
   Northern California version of winter is lots of rain and 60F. Not too
  much
   to complain about considering I've lived in Leningrad and in New York.
  But
   this weekend I wasn't too happy about the timing: my biodiesel
  equipment
  is
   all outside, and I had a lot of fuel that I had JUST finished washing,
  and
   it was time to let it 'dry' or 'settle'. But the weather out there was
   pounding down rain (the remnants of a Typhoon that hit Guam a few days
   earlier, it turns out).
  
   I'd just recently found some info, re-reading a couple of the the U of
   Idaho biodiesel reports, about bubble drying fuel. It somehow didn't
  make
   it into common homebrewers' practice, everyone I've talked to said,
  yeah,
  I
   remember reading that, but I didn't think about applying it to my
   situation.   So I tried it out under the worst possible conditions-
ran
  a
   bubblestone into a tank of hazy biodiesel that was carefully swathed
in
   tarps (therefore no real opportunity for the moisture in the biodiesel
  to
   excape outside the now-closed tank)- and ran some severely humid air
   through it.
  
   People have different techniques and theories about 'drying' biodiesel
   after washing. Some people leave it in an open container, and claim
  that
  it
   clears up any water haze in anything from a day to a week. It sounds
to
  me
   that the people doing this live in dry regions. We don't.
  
   Others (like Aleks Kac' published acid-base two-stage directions) say
  to
   let fuel settle for three weeks or so until it clears water haze.
  
   Other options include heating it to drive off water. There are some
   problems with this- among them, the fact that the MSDS for biodiesel
  says
   that biodiesel fumes are not harmful to health- unless heated.  I was
   prepared to do this as I really needed some finished fuel, but I feel
  like
   it's not something to take lightly, besides the obvious unnecessary
  energy
   input.
  
   At our biodiesel coop, we do the 'settling' technique after washing
  fuel.
   Sometimes it takes 10 days, but quite often it is still hazy after
that
  point.
   I was getting frustrated about having all of these drums of settling
  fuel
   sitting around at the co-op, taking up storage space, not clearing in
  the
   humid weather. It was the bottleneck that was messing up fuel
  production
   capacity- we store fuel to settle before washing, then we wash for
  three
   days and then we store it some more. And this is a 12' x 8' space in
  which
   we are trying to produce fuel for about 15-25 drivers (not very
   successfully). Sheesh. Seems like a common problem for small-scale
  homebrewers.
  
   So back to the wet weather bubbledrying- it worked to clear haze in
  that
   fuel, humid air and all. The 'technique' is to chuck an airstone into
a
   tank of hazy fuel, and bubble for 24-? hours. It doesn't seem to
  make
  a
   really HUGE difference how much fuel you're working with- around here
  (in
   the humidity) Kenneth Kron cleared 3 gallons in 12+ hours, Mr.Biosmell
   cleared 55 gallons in similar conditions of humidity in under 24
hours,
   which seems about average for the several

 Hello Keith,
 
 just a few lines on Your statement that both the NBB and Werner
 Korbitz of the ABI still promote a patronising myth:
 
 As an independent and international competence centre we have the
 objective to support the development of Biodiesel in a way that it
 may succeed continuously without any up and down and obtain a
 sustainable solid market position.
 
 Experience of more than 12 years of try and error have given proof
 that the one conditions to reach this goal is to produce
 consistently standardised quality according to a well defined and
 mutually agreed fuel standard.
 
 This development of such a standard is influenced by the fast
 technical development of the modern Diesel engine and its
 electronically controlled fuel injection equipment, forming a very
 efficient unit in increasing fuel efficiency and economy and in
 reducing harmful emissions, but setting higher quality requirements
 for the fuel whether fossil or bio.
 
 With our work we have been able to meet these requirements, and
 recently I drove in a Volkswagen Lupo through the Austrian
 mountains consuming 76 mpg, - Biodiesel of course.
 
 Sorry, - we are not in the business of myths.

   just a few lines on Your statement that both the NBB and Werner
   Korbitz of the ABI still promote a patronising myth:
   
   As an independent and international competence centre we have the
   objective to support the development of Biodiesel in a way that it
   may succeed continuously without any up and down and obtain a
   sustainable solid market position.
   
   Experience of more than 12 years of try and error have given proof
   that the one conditions to reach this goal is to produce
   consistently standardised quality according to a well defined and
   mutually agreed fuel standard.
   
   This development of such a standard is influenced by the fast
   technical development of the modern Diesel engine and its
   electronically controlled fuel injection equipment, forming a very
   efficient unit in increasing fuel efficiency and economy and in
   reducing harmful emissions, but setting higher quality requirements
   for the fuel whether fossil or bio.
   
   With our work we have been able to meet these requirements, and
   recently I drove in a Volkswagen Lupo through the Austrian
   mountains consuming 76 mpg, - Biodiesel of course.
   
   Sorry, - we are not in the business of myths.
   
   Best regards
   
   Werner KOERBITZ

 Re: Can u back this theory up?

 Actually I'm not sure that I can, it was more of an intuitional thing, or
 perhaps impulse. Anyway here are a few strands for consideration.

 Fact not theory. The Human Rights Act works on the basis that the
 application of all existing and future UK laws must be through the filter
 of the Human Rights Act. The Act is specifically designed to limit the
 powers of the state over a citizen. Incidentally do you consider yourself
 a citizen or a subject?

 Fact not theory. Taxation is not just an economic thing, it is an
 instrument of social policy and of state control. And a few people  using
 untaxed fuel, of any description, does not lead to anarchy and no public
 services. Significant numbers of people using untaxed fuel, or whatever,
 is a direct sign that a government and its policies, are adrift of
society.

 Fact not theory. The reduction in fuel tax is not a break. A break is
 when the end-user price after all costs is attractive enough to seriously
 attract the average joe. Any other way, as now, just leaves the real
 advantage in the hands of the state, and in business terms, in the hands
 of the multinationals which can profit by sheer economy of scale. Do you
 keep a count of the decline of independent fuelers/retailers? In truth,
 that is you, whether petrol or biofuel.

 Fact not theory. In the UK the authorities thru HM Customs, and also
 I believe the police, have developed an increasingly widespread habit of
 impounding and confiscating vehicles. This is a misuse of state power, as
 in effect an allegation is made, and a punishment carried out. A vehicle
 is not evidence; the content of the fultank is evidence.

 I also recall that there are some ideas around for each of us to have the
 power to choose how we pay taxes, rather than taxation rates being
 applied to specific areas, or products.

 So yes, somewhere in here is the idea that someone has the right under
 the Human Rights Act to start, nurture and develop a business free of
 taxation to the business or the product, and only when the scale of the
 business, in whatever terms this is considered, becomes significant, does
 taxation start to kick in. And also for a citizen to choose whether or
 not to pay tax on fuel.

 It seems the Cubans are sticking to their ideology, that everything there
comes from sugar cane.

 They have all the resources (climate, land, Jatropha) to grow oil plants
and the possibility to use it directly in truck engines (IFA-trucks from
former East Germany) without conversion.

 But nothing happens.

 like this, if indeed it is practical to do so.  Having demonstrated that
it
 is indeed possible and practical to produce biodiesel from readily
available
 domestic resources,  as has been done on this webb site, the next
important
 question is can you modify a readily available U.S. produced vehicle with
an
 available super efficient diesel  motor to burn biodiesel.  I am  talking
 about more options than burning biodiesel in the  limited kinds of diesel
 autos that are already available in the U.S.   Imperial Diesel, for
example,
 already produces an electric generator that consists of  foreign available
 parts.  Why doesn't someone put together a diesel powered small car or
truck,
 utilizing mostly already available  U.S. parts?   The assembly of the
parts
 could take place domestically, as Imperial Diesel does now for generators.
 Something like this, it seems to me, would do more to promote the use of
 biodiesel  in the U.S. and elsewhere than it would to continue  to discuss
 the fine points of how biodiesel could be produced.   The problem of
widely
 transitioning to a biodiesel economy  here in the U.S. MUST include having
 widely available for use the most economical and efficient diesel-powered
 vehicles in which to burn the biodiesel.  The fuel and the vehicle go
 together, don't they?   So, can someone tell me where to find a diesel
motor
 that will get 60 mpg, and, if possible, whether any consideration has been
 given to fitting this motor into domestic vehicles?

 Hi.
 I am looking for information on a small bio-diesel plant capable of
processing about 30 tonnes of used veg oil per year. So far all the
commercial plants have been much larger than my needs and consequentially
uneconomic.
 Any help would be appreciated.

 hi all,

 biofuels in blending with diesel or petrol can reduce the emission. but it
 is currently produced at the 2-3 times higher cost then the fossil fuel.

 we have to discover the various feedstock for this and also look for
 cheaper feedstock for biofuel. if diesel and electric can work then why
 cant we think on using biofuel(ethanol) and electric power.  let us try to
 concentrate on the continuous process plant to produce biofuel in bulk.
one
 thing is important after the natural setting of the biofuel process there
 is 10-15% of crude glycerine residue. why dont we try to find the avenues
 for usage of this glycerine into some useful products.

will
 make something better and that will be the day the dinosaurs die off(and

and
 become bigger that OPEC, you never know.  Point is you can't stop people

 There's no reason on Earth why we should not have vehicles getting
 40, 50 miles per gallon. In fact, today we see the Japanese have,
 once again beat us, technologically, with the hybrid vehicle. These
 are half gasoline, half electric powered vehicles that get 50, 60, 70
 miles per gallon in certain circumstances. Most of them average 50,
 60 miles per gallon in city driving.
 
 They're quite a revolution. They cut smog by -- they cut the auto
 contribution of smog -- by nearly 80 percent. They cut carbon
 dioxide, the global warming gas by 50, 60 percent. And they have a
 500-mile driving range. People are discovering that a fill-up of a
 hybrid only has to occur once every two or three weeks.
 
 These are quite revolutionary vehicles. And Honda and Toyota are
 selling them now, at about 20,000 a year here in the states already
 -- and there are waiting lines.

 If you have an invention my belief is you publish it--make it public
domain.
 No one can squelch it then (although economical carburetors were squelched
 by approval procedures). If you raise the standard of living then you
 benefit, and your friends and heirs. If you become destitute the enhanced
 standard of living raises the base line.

 Patents only give you the right to sue someone. If you don't have very
deep
 pockets to mount a vigorous legal challenge a patent is useless. Since it
 takes time to get court orders etc. one can build a lucrative business
 selling a patented item and then closing and reopening across the street
as
 a new company when finally shut down.

 The best thing any individual can do is strive for self sufficiency. A bit
 difficult for urban dwellers but some steps can be made. Money saved is
 after tax money. This will free you--give you more time. This time can be
 used to further benefit you. The system is designed to keep you running 90
 miles an hour to stand in place. Not good.

 Well i posted now somthing.
 But does it make sense that many people cant post because most things

 illegal unless you pay BIG tax money  so the keep a low profile
 just like the hemp experimenters in the us (the real one,s)
 even if you invent somthing that is useble cheap the chance that it get

 litle if your lucke a big compagny buys it and stores it away the wont
 market it
 because the sell less of there own product   of not goverments make to
 much money
 on energie/fuel tax  that means that aldo the are less dependent of oil
 money is nr one
 So to me every talk about the enviroment is useless because the only
 thing goverments are intrested in is money even (if there are) good
 politicians think only in money
 most people dont realease that 80% of the energie generated in this
 world is
 wasted by the military and the industrys that suply them
 And the dont care about the energie efectiveness of .
 and will not use a other source for a long time

 sorry bit off topic and political but that is every thing whe do on this

 Why do you need to collect the methanol?  Unless your right on their
 doorstep it must be cheaper to have them deliver.  Or is this a
 problem with North Wales?

 Hi Cordain,

 Have you looked for a bakery or a plant that turns out fried
 snacks like potato chips etc in your area, a donut company
 is also a good bet, for your oil needs ? You may have to go
 just a little farther than you anticipated for your oil supply.
 Restaurants are not always a good bet ! I would be interested
 in the generic business plan if you could post it.

 David Cruse

  hello all,
  Well good news. I've made good progress on my business plan. The actual
  company outline/structure is really easy to write. However the
marketing,
  research and competition portions have required tremendous amounts of
  localized research. This is a yet not realized market in my area so I'm
  having to write out several scenarios and then go through them with a
fine
  tooth comb to find the most feasible, least costly but long term
effective
  solutions. I'm also trying to minimize the costly trial and error
process.
  To err is human, to err without forethought is silly.
 
  I forgot how tedious writing one of these things gets. But I'm painting
a
  portrait not a house. So little strokes.
 
  My biggest challenge thus far has not even been the figuring out my
budget
  or financial concerns as it has been finding an adequate WVO oil supply
to
  keep up with my propossed plant size (1000 US Gallons input per 24 hours
  period). Of the 50 or so restaurants I've queried in my immediate area
 none
  of them [net totals] cycle out oil fast enough to meet my needs. (Which
is
  quickly narrowing down the restaurants that I patronize.)
 
  Vegetable oil gets to the viscosity of used motor oil quickly with heavy
  usage. I dont understand trying to stretch the oil (topping off old
oil),
 it
  makes the food taste like soap after a while. I've written in an
incentive
  program into the model that compensates restaurants for their WVO, but
I'm
  trying to avoid that for the moment. However I may wind up resorting to
 it,
  if WVO quality is too poor.
 
  I'm continuing my survey of surrounding zones (about 15 miles radious
from
  propossed plant sites) for the the highest oil consumption. This will
  ultimatly decide where I put the plant. Recovery and distribution
figures
  are the most easily controlled cost in my current model.
 
  I may wind up moving the project closer to Washington DC as it has a
much
  higher ratio of restaurants per square mile.
 
  In any case I need to get back to researching and writing my back-up
plans
  for the model.
 
  If anyone is interested I can post a generic WVO business plan
(outline).
  It's more or less a fill in the blanks deal. No single business plan is
  going to work for every business and it's definetly a living document.
 It's
  not a cut and dry plan, but it will get you going in the correct
 direction.
 
  cheers,
  cordain
  dulles, va

  either

   Australians, regardless of location. If we can't help you now we
  might be
   able to soon.
  
   In our search for these, we believe we are now almost getting
  it 'from the

  our work
   in nationwide transport, we think there's some way we can organise a

Basically there is a continous production plant undergoing Bio Diesel trials

available for publication in a couple of months time which will confirm data
obtained in practical trials. Our intention is to have the kit marketable by

  So what is the capacities of the kit, the place I have in mind right now

  ok?

 Harry,

 One company that comes to mind is Energea, located in Austria the URL is
 http://www.energea.at/en_info.html I emailed them some months ago with a
 price query and they replied thy wanted production requirements before
being
 able to answer me. I guess that is fair enough. They seem to specialise in
 very large capacity units.

 Can anyone direct me to companies that sell continuous biodiesel
 plants.  I followed some links to one web site that looked promising
 and emailed a request for pricing and capacity details but have no
 reply a week later.
 Regards from Harry

 Subject: Re: Horse Manure

 I have approximately 160,000 cubic yard of horse
 manure in New Mexico.  Does anyone know of someone who
 might be interested in it to convert into fuel?
 Carl

 That's 80,000 tons of horseshit! How on earth did you manage to
 accumulate so much? What condition is it in?

 You might get some more inquiries from people involved with horses.  I
 have put a couple of paragraphs about biodiesel on my horse site:
 http://horses-etc.com  ...

 and there was a post yesterday about using waste from wood processing
  so maybe the wood shavings used for stalls together with the manure
 could be used ... that would be wonderful.

 :))

 and yes to another post ... clean veggie oil can certainly be used.  In
 those same two paragraphs see the link for Southern States Power Company
 ... they will be opening a large production plant for biodiesel from
 soybeans.

 (This is the first time I have posted.  I just started learning about
 biodiesel a week or so ago).

 Does anyone know where a person could buy or build a
 working model of a diesel engine?  I want to use the
 engine to burn the biodiesel that I make in
 demonstrations and also be able to do some testing
 with it.  Any information would be appreciated.  Also,
 the less expensive, the better.  ;-)  Thanks in
 advance.

 I run a small soap and toiletries business right now.  The web site is
 www.cssoap.com  but its not up yet because I downed it for improvements.
 Anyway, I am just researching biodesiel right now.  I would be interested
in
 the glycerin, as I use it in making more enriched soap(melt and pour soap)
 as well as lotion.  If anyone ends up with a few lbs to spare, I would
love
 to get some, expecially to save it from being buried.  I would like to
 experiment with it more, but i have limited accessibility to it.
 If anyone is willing to go to the effort of bottle it up, i would be very
 thankful.
 Matt
