I'd be keen to find out more about the biofuels for spinning. Making bio-diesel from waste oil is pretty easy, though it does involve using methanol (nasty) and sodium hydroxide (not very nice either).
If it's just for spinning, not for putting it in a car, then you haven't got to worry so much about fuel quality, water content, all that palarver. Still, diesel burns pretty hot and I've seen varying reports about whether spinning with biodiesel is a good idea or not. Biokerosene is probably what we're after, but all the work that I've seen on biokerosene has been about making fuel for planes, where they're far more worried about really, really, really high quality and reliability, not about making it cheap as chips and easy to do at home. But yeah, if someone's got a way to make something that burns slower and colder than diesel, I want to find out more.
