[Biofuel] Fury as academics claim 9/11 was 'inside job'
I agree with the academics 100%. The evidence is pretty overwhelming. We need Congress to do a real investigation. Peace, D. Mindock == The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an inside job, according to a group of leading academics. Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23365839-details/Fury+as+academics+claim+911+was+%27inside+job%27/article.do ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
Re: [Biofuel] ENZYMES
Hi Juan e Javier 2006/9/4, CARVAJAL BARRIGA ENRIQUE JAVIER [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thanks Juan:I will be asking for enzymes and also I will try to use some fungus tohydrolysate the substrate. I have done my Phd thesis making cellulase enzyme using Fungus Trichoderma Verde , during 1977 and 1983, the best especie selected by very famous researcher Mary Mandel , US Natic Army research laboratory who is very kind to send the same for several resarch institute to all the world and latter renamed as Trichoderma ResseiI am not sure about the efficiency of using fungus, because I think they are hydrolysating the woods for their own metabolism, and probably itwill diminish the amount of sugars to be converted into ethanol. It is not practical one, eventhough can be used as pretreatmento for delignication before using enzymatic hydrolysis During fermentation , the operating conditions for the cell growth for extraceluar enzyme growth need to me maintained and this is not the ideal one for the enzymatic hydrolysis. Moreover the sugar will be consumed for the cell growth . The crude culture can be used with out the need for purification and concentration of the enzymes. The reuse of enzymes are possible using new substrates , making possible the reduced consumption. However the pretreatment need to be realized, as any impurities of the substarte can be inhibits enzymes.We can send useful information to any one of our group.Keith, has already longe before told me to write about ethanol from cellulose and some very useful information have been also available as post in this list sdPanniselvam In thisaspect, probably the use of purified enzymes increases the yield of ethanol and, also may reduce the time of hydrolysis.I'd like to know your opinion on that respect.

Re: [Biofuel] Testing H2O in Methanol
Hi Jim; Ok I made up a graph by adding water one ml at a time to 90 ml of pure methanol. This was done at 23 degrees C which is the current temperature in my work area. The hydrometers are calibrated for 15 degrees so this is more practical for my purposes. As far as Bob's comment on what glycerin in the recovered methanol will do to the specific gravity, I cannot guess but glycerin has a pretty high boiling point and my recovered methanol looks water clear so there is not much glycerin in there I think. I am going to assume it is negligible. Primarily I am doing this just to determine roughly how much zeolite I need to dry the methanol. I will err on the conservative side with this. It looks like my recovered methanol has less than 10 % water (worst case) so a litre of methanol should have less than 100 grams of water in it. If zeolite can adsorb 10% of it's weight in water then 1Kg of zeolite per litre of methanol should be sufficient. Here is the chart. Since I typically recover less than 3 litres of methanol at a time I'll look for a molecular seive which holds at least 3 Kg of zeolite. BTW I know it was mentioned before and is in the archives but for convenience the type of seives to use for this is 3A. Best place for this is in the pipe upstream of the condenser. I'll get a trap with a built in heater so I can use my vacuum system to regenerate the seives. I'll then see how much water comes out of the zeolite and collects in the trap. I'll be interested to see if the numbers match up. Cheers Joe JJJN wrote: Does any one know of a good test to determine the amount of water in methanol? Joe were you working on something like this?

[Biofuel] The laws of supply and demand need not apply.
This is a strong indicator, in my opinion, that the oil companies are price gouging (preaching to the choir... I know). When called to bear BP invokes 5th amendment, and dispite the drop in production, the price of oil goes down. Supply and demand states it should go up. My guess, a nice reduction in oil prices just before an election never hurts those in power. Prudhoe Bay, located on Alaska's northern coast above the Arctic Circle, is of major importance to the United States, generating 400,000 barrels of oil a day, or about 8 percent of the country's domestic oil production, when it's fully operating. BP cut production at the field in half in August after government-mandated inspections revealed severe corrosion. http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/07/news/companies/bp/index.htm?cnn=yes ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

Re: [Biofuel] Bioperformance scammers
Yes I used it in Dino diesel and had an increase of 2 mpg give or take .2 or .3 driving the same road at the same time of day and relatively the same weather over a course of 4 tanks of fuel my normal mpg without a dose was 22.2 mpg and with 24. But I tried it on bio with no gain or loss measured. And I told a friend at work about it he has a old Honda with almost 300,000 miles on it hi used a corona bottle as a delivery system he tells me his people think he is insane for poring beer in the tank. But he told me he also had a marked increase in mpg. Don't hold me to it but I think it was in the range of 4 or 5 mpg gain. I don't know if he is still doing it or not. F.Y.I. he says he gets 43 mpg normally.
