[biofuels-biz] Ethanol quote

2003-02-06 Thread movember [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We can get fuel from fruit, from the sumac by the roadside, or from apples, weeds, saw dust; almost anything. There is enough alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to cultivate that field for a hundred years. And it remains for someone to find how this fuel can be produced

This sort of stuff has been around for ages. It is also used in the steel fabrication industry to cut steel. If memory serves me correctly, in some situations ground industrial diamond is also added to the water for that little extra zing. I have not seen this operation in use

[biofuel] Water cutting

2003-02-06 Thread JOSEPH . MARTELLE
snip PS: Water cutting is not considered an obscure technology as it is widely used in precision cutting of hard materials. A polymer is added to the water and sometimes an abrasive. The cutting tip is a saphire with a small hole in it- and it is NOISY!! Blessings, Joe :-).
