You are all thinking of mechanisms : What about the well known practice of using fresh and used veggie oil in IC engines ? Filter to 5 microns and heat--to 70 / 80 deg centigrade at which point viscosity approaches that of diesel.. its pretty useable after that …
So, why not pre heat the oil? Filtration is not a problem in stoves … Richard On Nov 28, 2011, at 10:35 PM, [email protected] wrote: > On Monday 28 November 2011 20:00:24 Crispin Pemberton-Pigott wrote: >> How about using one of those spinning disks with a spiky periphery that >> are used in greenhouses to make as fine a mist as possible?
