I don't think you can make ethanol from wood. Wood Alcohol is also
known
as Methanol and is not fit for human consumption.
There are a couple of different methods to make Ethanol from wood.

if so this should be a good market to get in to .
It depends partly on what form of biofuel you are considering.
Synthetic diesel from biomass can be used 'as is'. WVO

I remember reading somewhere that a person on a bicycle on level ground
I probably should have mentioned when referring to food/drink calories we
consume where talking about the big
C as in Calories such as kilo calories or kcal*.
NOT the small c as in calories. This should help reduce some confusion.
1 Btu = 252 calories = 0.252 kcal* = 0.293 watts = 0.000295
Hi christian, sounds interesting, but i can't find any file on that

hi all
anyone has any experience on using a babington burner, or any other
kind of wvo burner on the process of making biodiesel?
do you think it could be good enough to take out the water of the oil?
at the moment i'm using my butane kitchen to heat the 25 liters of
oil of each batch to
I know this may sound stupid but I was told of a method of filtration that uses
layers of tissue paper as the filter medium. It is not for the speedy. The Oil
on the tissue stops it breaking up. The method involved gravity of the oil mass
to filter through the tissue layers which may be an

I also looked at those commercial fryer filtration
units and besides being very expensive did not filter

my converted diesel. I have just sent Keith a

like a
great idea - depending on how much water you'd have to carry.

What about steam radiators? Safety is determined by proper design, I mean.
A tank of gasoline relatively close to one's body, at 60 or more mph, in a

How would it be as about compared to a human/electric bike? (ebike) Or
should the ebike be charged by the small diesel genset?
Thoughts, anyone?
