I'm similarly interested. I have had thoughts about the way an electronic pH meter works (voltage developed on the probe - see How a pH Meter Works in http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/feb2004/chem.htm ) and somehow incorporating that into a stepped/delayd loop. i.e. the initial pH

Hakan, The price depends on volume purchased and it doesn't make much sense. Distilled water costs 60 cents to 1.50 for a gallon depending on brand. 1/2 liter bottled water costs 1 dollar, but at the same store I can buy 1 gallon of the same brand for .80 cents. I just have to walk down

First, it should be noted that, while relative costs can be informative, it is difficult to compare the cost of bottled water to gasoline, diesel, etc. What would the water cost if you brought a 20 gallon tank to the water plant and filled it? What would gasoline cost if sold in 1 liter or 4

are you sure about carotene? It is easily extracted from numerous sources, and to manufacture it synthetically I would think is difficult. I will stand corrected with evidence, but my bet is that carotenes used as feed additives are from natural sources. Chris Lloyd wrote: I always assumed

way below Keith queries Do you think the carotene has any effect on anything if you burn it as fuel? not really, it only takes a few ppm carotene to color the oil. Even then carotene is a hydrocarbon (C40H56), not unlike dinodiesel itself, so I really don't think it matters. Keith Addison
