Re: [biofuel] vehicles

2001-04-24 Thread Edward Ewert

Thanks for the reply.  I have no intention of running anything other than 
BD.  I am trying just trying to find out if unwashed BD will cause the 
problems you mention.  I am not worried about a small excess of Methanol as 
the vehicle will be new.  Do the fine filters you speak of remove residual 
glycerin?  and does the small amount left in a well reacted batch of BD a 
concern (unwashed).

Thanks,

Ed

While it may work I have to wonder about it from

watts which is physically impossible. A blade turning

of its blade area won't be of any use also because of

Re: [biofuel] more windpower

2001-04-24 Thread jerry dycus

 Hi David and All,
I prefer downwind rotors with rotatable tower
foils , I had been building them for 5 years 15 years
ago.
 Your right, most noise comes from the interaction
of the blades and the tower. Another source is the
blade tips. I solved that by using single thickness
blades , ie curved sheets of fiberglass. They are
lighter and produce more power becaues of lower blade
drag. 
 The good thing about this was by shaping it right
the wind pressure caused the blade to feather by
bending in higher winds allowing it to genorate power
in higher winds without overloading.  
Too bad the drawings won't come up for me, I'd
like to see it. 
 Do you build windgens?  If so I have some ideas
I'll never use. I'll give you for free offline as I
want more windgens out there too.

> Thanks all, thanks again Todd :).
Ian,
 I dont know if thats a good price or not for the UK as I expect it
would be dearer over there but if that is the going rate believe you must be
heavily taxed on it as the going rate is around a dollar a litre here
wholesale in 200 litre drums. Note one pound  sterling = just over 3 NZ$.
Admitedly it is made here but cant see why such a wide difference as Mobil I
think it was really screwed the NZ govt back in the 70s when the plant was
first built (first natural gas to methanol plant I believe). Has been sold
twice since.  Perhaps the current owners just get presented with the story
that there is not much demand for it and thats the best price we are
prepared to pay for it take it or leave it. Perhaps a group of you should
get together to benefit yourselves, keep the costs down, and import some of
your requirements after checking out the excise situation.

Re: [biofuel] vehicles

2001-04-24 Thread David Reid

Ed, Steven et al,
T.P. bypass filters are ideal for cleaning diesel
and other similar fuels as they remove the asphaltine particles which are
the major cause of combustion soot and other contamination. I sell bypass
filters especially for this purpose. They are identical to the by-pass oil
filters except the orifice restriction of 50 thou which is required to drop
the velocity so the oil is filtered properly and only a small percentage is
bled off at any given time has been opened out or removed  so the diesel has
unrestricted flow and is matched to the injector or engine requirement. They
also have a tap on the bottom so that the water which separates out and sits
on the bottom of the cannister can be regularly bled off. After looking at
or replacing everyone I have installed I now know all diesel is dirty even
if it looks perfectly clean to the natural eye. When you see what these
things remove you can understand why quite a lot of the modern diesels which
are built to much finer tolerances dont last anything like the old Gardiners
and earlier diesels.

Re: [biofuel] methanol reclaiming

2001-04-24 Thread Appal Energy

> Has anyone got any Methanol reclaiming details they could supply me?
...

Ian,

You will have to build yourself an evaporative condenser capable of
maintaining a temp of 165 Fahrenheit, slightly above the boiling temp of
methanol.

It will consist of an airtight "pot" (except for the vaporous outlet port)
of your desired volume, a heat source - open flame unadvisable due to
immediate liquid and vaporous methanol - a drain valve for the residual
glycerin, a fill valve for introducing the methanol laden glycerin, a
continual vaporous outlet off the top of the pot into a cooling condenser,
preferably water cooled.

The cooling condenser's drain should be continuous into a "closed"
collection container, same container having a vent tube extended well
outside and above the building or considerably away from the activity  (when
outside) to vent off all methanol tainted vapors that are positively
displaced from the final collection container.

The closed system precludes almost entirely the introduction of water into
the recovered methanol via atmospheric humidity.

Check the pH of the glycerin and neutralize prior to utilizing the glycerin
in further endeavors.

used, retired military, etc..

Much of what they have is highly applicable to home bio-d manufacture and 
making the process affordably easier.

Their catalogue has a broad range of hydraulics, AC & DC motors, submersible 
and centrifugal pumps, gas and diesel engines, switches, etc., ad infinitum.

[biofuel] Wet Blanket was Sea shanty

2001-04-24 Thread Appal Energy

Sorry if I appear to be the proverbial wet blanket, but has anyone noticed
several unsubscription requests lately referring to excessive correspondence
which they are unable to plow through, as well as "off topic" material?

Would it be entirely out of line to suggest that we seriously attempt to
limit the lightheartedness, joviality and frivolity of off topic material to
off list conversation?

Just a purist, die-hard, extremist who would prefer to keep as many people
in the loop for as long as possible - all the while attempting to maintain
my sanity in an insane world.

[biofuel] RE: biofuels and gardners

2001-04-24 Thread Mike Brownstone

David,

Perhaps you can help me.  I not that you have referred to the ' old
Gardiners and earlier diesels'.  I have two L8 Gardners in a motor launch
(ML1200 old 1943 military vessel).  I have been unable to locate Gardners UK
for spares.  Do you have any info on this.

By the way, I've started making biodiesal for her use.  Thanks to you people
out there.

Second question:  Is there any difference in energy content between, for
instance, one liter of sunflower biodiesal and one liter of palm oil
biodiesal?  In other words, is there a better performance in km/liter for
the better oil?

Ed, Steven et al,
T.P. bypass filters are ideal for cleaning diesel
and other similar fuels as they remove the asphaltine particles which are
the major cause of combustion soot and other contamination. I sell bypass
filters especially for this purpose. They are identical to the by-pass oil
filters except the orifice restriction of 50 thou which is required to drop
the velocity so the oil is filtered properly and only a small percentage is
bled off at any given time has been opened out or removed  so the diesel has
unrestricted flow and is matched to the injector or engine requirement. They
also have a tap on the bottom so that the water which separates out and sits
on the bottom of the cannister can be regularly bled off. After looking at
or replacing everyone I have installed I now know all diesel is dirty even
if it looks perfectly clean to the natural eye. When you see what these
things remove you can understand why quite a lot of the modern diesels which
are built to much finer tolerances dont last anything like the old Gardiners
and earlier diesels.

Re: [biofuel] Wet Blanket was Sea shanty

2001-04-24 Thread David Reid

Todd,
 Thanks for the timely reminder but as someone who tends to be
serious by nature and takes myself too seriously at times, I need to escape
from my seriousness occasionaly, step outside my human frailty and have a
good laugh at myself and life in general so I remain at least partially
human. As an old Scotsman said to me years ago "your a long time dead Davy
boy". As I travel through life I realize your pretty stuffed without a sense
of humour so I have always tried to maintain mine. Looking after my folks
for the last 12 years during the last years of their lives hasnt been easy
but having a sense of humour has certainly helped and made it that much
easier.  Looking back I say to myself hell I would never do that again,
other times I realize how fortunate I was to be the son of two people who
truly loved one another even if it made me a member of a truly minority
group of the human race. If we have people who join and leave of their own
volition I and we cant do anything about it, that is their choice. I just
hope that they learned and added something to all of us from their time no
matter how long that is or was. Again thanks for your time, input, help and
concern..
B.r., David

Hi Mike,
  Sorry I cant help as I am not an engineer, just someone who
has a bit of knowledge and repect for that which has gone before. Suggest
you try some of the marine notice boards and ask there. Perhaps someone can
help you.  Where are you located? Try http://aqua.net.au/  See there was a
company called E.E.Potts who were offering spare parts for Gardner. Also
someone offering 2 x 8LW motors on Nov 3 2000. Also other Gardner adds.
Also try London Transport as a lot of the double deckers had Gardner engines
and someone there should be able to help or point you in the right
direction. Best of luck with your efforts. will see what else I can dig up.
B.r.,  David

Re: [biofuel] need help

2001-04-24 Thread tupai tupai

my name is david, chemical eng. student at state
polytechnic of bandung, indonesia. i'm doing the final
assignment  to produce biodiesel.

thanks for the information keith, i can understand the
answer. the only reason i ask, is just the cost of
pure methanol is expensive. it's hard too make the
product economically. 
and keith, i'm not trying the palm oil, but the
coconut oil. what will be if i use the palm oil ? may
i know what oil have been used by you and the other ?

i got another question :
1. i made my biodiesel, but in the end, i have one
separated glycerine is still liquid even in the room
temperature ( isn't the temperature to keep glycerine
in liquid is above of 38 C ? ) and i got one still
solid even in 40 C and semi gel in 50 C. Is there
anyone know how could it be ?
2. i would like to ask everybody, what's the rate per
liter of any diesel fuel in every country, is there
any list about it ? please tell me what's the rate per
liter any diesel fuel in your country.
3. what could be the effect to the diesel engine if we
made the product, say , the density is below the
standard ?
4. i'm trying to made biodiesel based on the mike
pelly's method to produce a half liter, but i get none
but failure. looks like it was soap formation that
happened. i'm trying to reduce the amount of NaOH used
to half of 3.5 grams and too half of the amount from
the titration, but still the soap is formed. is there
any calibration rate to produce half or double ?
for example say we made it 10 litres and the amount
from titration is 2,2 ml. is it mean ( 2.2 + 3.5 ) per
liter = 5.7 gr NaOH per liter or 57 grams NaOH ? or
there is another way of calculating ?

i think that will be enough for now. i really
apprecate to you guys, you're more than a teacher for
me. thanks.

david

[biofuel] do onto others...

2001-04-24 Thread Dick Carlstein

as staunchly  as i support freedom, i also support respect for others, and
their rights. this is a discussion list, with albeit broad but well defined
subjects of interest.

taking up other people's bandwidth with never ending discussions on a
limerick's origin or phrasing is not my idea of respect for other's rights.

offline is available to all to pursue such interests, methinks.

good manners are the glue that keep a civilized society in relative harmony.
i'm sorry there are people in the list who miss this point and act
egotistically, uncaring of other member's discomfort.

those who have left the list wrote that they did so because, being
interested in our 'raison d'etre', they were instead  swamped with
frivolous, totally uncalled for postings dealing with themes totally outside
of our subjects of interest.

there are many humor lists and poetry lists out there that will more than
welcome these folk's efforts. not that a bit of humor now and then is not
welcome; but when it disregards the list's interests, it harms the lists
purpose.

i, for one can tell who cares for other peoples feelings and time by such
actions, as well as by the lack of editing that accompanies many of the
postings. these are usually the same people who vociferously defend their
'given rights', as they simultaneously forget that all of us have the same
rights.

do onto others...

(and will somebody with authority please send the unsolicited court jester
on a long vacation, with no return ticket ?)

after all, why should i have to miss somebody's interesting posting on
biofuels, and/or alternative energies, just to keep a babbling idiot happy
??

i think i have my rights too...

cheers, dick.

let's get real, please.

[biofuel] Too many posts?

2001-04-24 Thread MADMAN1159

You can set your delivery option to "digest". You will still get all the 
posts but all in one e-mail per day. You can skim thru a lot faster and 
delete it quicker. You will not believe how much faster and easier this way 
is. And you still get all the useful information you want and need. Good 
luck. I hope this helps retain some good people on this list

OT posts,was: [biofuel] Wet Blanket was Sea shanty

2001-04-24 Thread jerry dycus

Hi Todd and All,
  I have to go with Todd on this one. I'm about to
have to choose between staying with biofuel and the
gasifacation list I need to join. If the OT, political
on this list stays as bad as it's been I'll have no
choice. 
 I believe it hurts the biofuel cause this list is
supposed to want to spread.
 While humor is good it should be only as an aside
on other ontopic posts and if you want to respond to
these take them offline. Some of you have very wierd
senses of humor!!!
 At least label them OT- humor or OT-pol for
political so those of us who have other lives can get
the biofuel info the we and the world needs without
the OT's. You can't delete what's not labeled. 
   Over half the posts in the last month have been OT,
that's way too much. There are other lists for those
who need their humor, pol fixes.
Another problem is lack of post editing making
what is a 1 line post into a 10kb to 100kb post. 
If we follow these rules we'll get more members
and lose less. What's more important your OT fixes or
spreading biofuel as wide as we can?  
I've been part of the problem too with my wind-
water gen posts but at least they are RE in nature and
goes to the same goal of renewable energy and are
intertwined with biofuel. I'll cut down on them and
label what I do post as OT-RE in the future.
 Thanks, 
   jerry dycus

There was a young feller named skaar

he used straight veggie oil

Good way to grow biofuels. Good way to grow anything. Agroforestry 
resources below.

http://journeytoforever.org/farm_tree.html
Farming with trees

"Agroforestry is possibly the most self-sustaining and ecologically 
sound of any agricultural system." -- Dr. Franklin W. Martin, 
"Agroforestry Principles", ECHO Technical Note, 1992

Agroforestry

Agroforestry integrates trees with farming, such as lines of trees 
with crops growing between them (alley cropping), hedgerows, living 
fences, windbreaks, pasture trees, woodlots, and many other farming 
patterns.

There's nothing new about it -- it only seems new because modern 
industrialized farming ("commodity extraction" rather than farming) 
has veered so far from true farming practises. The heavy machines and 
single-crop production lines are tree-unfriendly.

Previously, many traditional farming systems all over the world 
integrated trees with crops and livestock, and many continue to do 
so. The traditional European mixed farm with its crop and livestock 
rotations over the land was alive with trees, in hedgerows, pastures 
and woodlots, lining lanes, around homesteads. Such farms are still 
to be found in many parts of Europe.

Now agroforestry is perhaps the fastest growing sector of the 
sustainable farming movement, in both the developed countries and the 
Third World.

Agroforestry increases biodiversity, supports wildlife, provides 
firewood, fertilizer, forage, food and more, improves the soil, 
improves the water, benefits the farmers, benefits everyone.


Overstory #7: Agroforestry (free on-line journal focusing on trees 
and crops in agroforestry) -- "Agroforestry: A way of farming that 
can work for everyone"
"There is growing concern throughout the world about the loss of 
species diversity. Much of the destruction has taken place to make 
room for human agriculture, particularly pastures, plantations, and 
other monocultures. Agroforestry systems increase species diversity 
within farming systems, providing for human needs while supporting 
wildlife, soil microorganisms, rural communities, farmers, economic 
interests, watersheds, clean air concerns, biodiversity, and more."

"Agroforestry Principles" by Dr. Franklin W. Martin & Scott Sherman, 
1992, ECHO Technical Note -- "Agroforestry is the production of trees 
and of non-tree crops or animals on the same piece of land. This 
system of land management is possibly the most self-sustaining and 
ecologically sound of any agricultural system. Agroforestry systems 
make maximum use of the land. Every part of the land is considered 
suitable for plants that are useful. Agroforestry is designed to 
produce a range of benefits including food, feed, fuels, often 
fibers, and usually renewed soil fertility. It takes advantage of 
trees for many uses, to hold the soil, to increase fertility through 
nitrogen fixation, or through bringing minerals from deep in the soil 
and depositing them by leaf-fall, to provide shade, construction 
materials, foods and fuel." Online (Acrobat file):

Phyllis, database for biomass and waste.

The objective of Phyllis is to make analysis data of individual 
biomass or waste materials available and to offer the possibility to 
obtain the average composition of any combination of groups and/or 
subgroups.

Answers are given to questions like:

* What is the average sulphur content of wood?
* What is the ash content of willow?
* What is the average calorific value of chicken manure?

Phyllis is designed and maintained by ECN Biomass with financial 
support of Novem. At present it contains about 1600 datarecords. 
Phyllis will be updated and extended regularly. An overview of 
bio-energy projects in the Netherlands can be found at 
http://www.biomasster.nl .

Search

* Composition of a single material.
* Average composition of a group of materials.
* Keyword search for materials.

Information

* General information about Phyllis.
* How to use Phyllis.
* Definitions used in Phyllis.

Hi Todd

You're quite right. And, by the way, I fully agree with your response 
to the "unsubscribe" message complaining about environmental issues 
and so on. Part of our function here should be to provide the context 
for biofuels use. It's not just a matter of "self sufficiency and 
cost savings regarding energy", important though they are.

There was a big movement towards renewable energy in the US and 
elsewhere in the early 80s, not for the first time, but it died when 
the fuel prices dropped. Now the biofuels movement is burgeoning 
worldwide, and I'm sure it won't die this time, no matter what the 
fuel prices do, exactly because of the much wider context beyond 
saving a few bucks on fuel. There's much more to it than that, and 
more to it than the technical aspects too, the how-to's and so on. 
Why-to is a major issue, and very connected with all the other 
environmental/political issues.

So the topic is and should be a broad one. But there are limits, and 
I agree that some recent threads have gone well beyond them. Sure, 
life is short and should be sweet and so on, and an occasional OT 
funny does no harm; people should indeed be allowed to say what they 
like, but there's a responsibility that goes with free speech, and, 
apart from flames, trolling, spam and such, list members also have 
the responsibility to stay generally on-topic. I reckon everyone 
knows well enough what's definitely off-topic, at least.

It's hard to say why people unsubscribe. They come and they go, for 
their own reasons. In the last week the overall number's remained 
about the same, with 40 new members and 40 unsubscriptions. That is a 
bit unusual, usually there are steadily more subscribes than 
unsubscribes. If it's the environmental stuff they don't like, well, 
first, it's only a small proportion of what's posted, it's nonsense 
that it "bogs down" the list, and I'd say they're overreacting; 
second, if they can't see all the practical content on home fuel 
brewing and the like amid the "100+ emails almost daily" (??), well, 
that's their problem. As Michael says, there's such a thing as a 
delete button. But maybe someone who repeatedly posts "unsubscribe" 
messages (pleas, even) to the list, though the unsubscribe address 
appears twice in each message, hasn't discovered the delete button 
yet? :-)

Anyway, yes, please let's cut the crap, but that certainly doesn't 
include the broad-ranging discussion we have here that DOES concern 
biofuels. If that's driving some people away, well, let them go, it's 
their choice - if they want a narrow perspective I'm sure there are 
other lists for them. A lot of members tell me they like this one the 
way it is. And so do I, I must say.

Best wishes

I'm with you. with all the lists I read, and email I get, I'm over 500 
messages daily. Let's stay on topic as much as we can.
