Doesn't oil in the seed store much better? Wouldn't people want a kitchen expeller to avoid the rancid oil that I hear is a health issue?

I'm gonna try to build a piston, cage and pressure cone after the Bielenberg design (maybe even try to enlist his help...), and use a hydraulic jack to drive the piston. I bet a little kit with just those three tricky parts (you supply your own jack, lever, or whatever, and mounting brackets) could sell a couple a year to crazy experimenters :-) Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
