Re: [MBZ] OT a little light reading on injection
Good questions... I know one of the Nitske books mentions a dreary war-time charcoal burning 170, so they did get cars running on it for practical purposes at some point.

Good questions... I know one of the Nitske books mentions a dreary war-time charcoal burning 170, so they did get cars running on it for practical purposes at some point. Jaime Charcoal is very different than coal dust. During WWII, many gassers were converted to woodgas. Most of the farm tractors ran on woodgas. This is gasification of wood. It is done on a burner attached to the vehicle. The gas is produced by burning the wood in a oxygen lean environment. There is a nice example in the Deutschesmuseum in Munich. Mountains of coal dust have been buried (or not) in the USA. A few years ago I saw a number of how much fuel that represented. It is a staggering amount of Billions of BTUs. THe problem is that coal dust oxidizes when exposed to air, and oxidation is just a slow process with results similar to burning. The oxidation makes the stored coal dust much less valuable as fuel, thus impractical. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

In Hendrik's submission (Mercedes Digest, Vol 86, Issue 33, Message: 2), he attached a link to a report by Frank DeLuca entitled History of Fuel Injection. In the article he mentioned that Rudolph Diesel wanted to use leftover piles of coal dust as fuel. I asked about the origin and eventual disposition of this material. Craig responded with the questions Which countryside? When? The first sentence in the report states When Rudolph Diesel contracted with Augsburg and Krupp of Germany in 1893 to develop a more efficient internal combustion engine, one of his objectives was to use a s fuel the mountainous piles of powdered coal which had been accumulating throughout the countryside. I presume this means in pre-WWI Germany. Now. I just created something else I'm curious about. As I typed this out, I copied and pasted, which caused my page to have several sizes of print. I am wondering if, when it get appears in the forum, the print size will be uniform, or if it will print with various sizes. If the latter, I apologize in advance for the difficult-to-read text.

In Frank DeLuca's History of Fuel Injection, he writes about . . . .mountainous piles of powdered coal which had been accumulating throughout the countryside. Do we know the origin of all that coal dust? What has since become of it? Did two world wars somehow make the accumulation go away?
