Re: [biofuel] RE: air car's indirect pollution vs EV's

2001-07-29 Thread Christopher S. Weller

   An EV's has a far greater potential to leak acid or short and make the 
   vehicle into a rolling welder or elephant sized cattle prod. 

  Gelled or solid electrolytes can solve this problem.  

   (I can provide  pictures at request)

  Please.  

  I also would like to see some of these pictures

2001-07-29 Thread Rick Lubrick

I've read that straight ethanol can be used in the Model A Ford.  Can it also 
be used in the Model T and other vehicles of the '20's and '30's?  I'm 
currently restoring a 28 Model A and would like to use it as a daily driver.

Now all you need is the 95% ethanol!  :-)  . -K

Ken - see http://www.geocities.com/kiwi_distiller for how to do this
Its easy to build a hobby still capable of this, for well under US$150

[biofuel] More cowflops

Subject: Can't Make Pancakes out of Cowflop was Re: Cowflops

Following your train of thought, that Junk science is junk science if
it
ignores contrary - and readily
available - facts, it would be appreciated if you would submit your
sources
of scientific study that substantiate your claim that low dose radiation
is
a myth and refute the extensive studies of the best minds in the field.

All studies extant, to the knowledge of everyone in this office, have
acknowledged that virtually every track of ionized radiation that passes
through a cell nucleus (where mutation occurs) carries the potential to
damage the nucleus and often does in a manner that is irreparable or
repaired wrong (read mutation).

The exacting of damage to any nucleus does not depend upon the strength
of
radiation, whether it be from a low or high dose exposure, but simply
that
an electron path or track passes through the nucleus.

Yes, yes, yes - I am familiar with the CLAIM and the ARGUMENT on which
it is based - INTIMATELY familiar. Fortunately for Mankind, the argument
fails utterly to satisfy known FACTS, to wit:

- commercial aviators experience exposure levels in excess of NRC
standards; if they were under NRC jurisdiction they would all have to
retire early, having exceeded allowable life doses that are based on
precisely the arguments that you adduce.

- in actuality, however, many have careers spanning decades and
including tens of thousands of hours spent at altitudes where ionizing
radiation is many times surface background.

- but they don't have greater incidence of radiation-related illnesses
than any other group in the general population.

Therefore the no safe dose argument fails. My favorite parallel is to
the argument by qualified scientists that meteorite falls were
impossible: stones cannot fall from the sky because there are no stones
in the sky. Of course, there were. And there are safe doses of
radiation.

Further, perhaps you would care to explain what gives you or any others
the
right to subject human populations to the more devastating events posed
by
higher levels of radiation released via inevitable mechanical failures
and
human error?

I'm not subjecting them to anything - aviators and mountaineers get
dosed at higher rates than the NRC allows in the normal course of
events.

Increased exposure levels or opportunity for receiving increased
exposure is
not acceptable.

You are of course welcome to decide what dose rates YOU are willing to
accept, and to travel by surface conveyance and avoid visits to high
places. As long as I remain free to choose otherwise, it ain't my
business - only your loss.

[biofuel] Washing the biodiesel

2001-07-29 Thread Mike Brownstone

I'm struggling with the washing of the biodiesel.  I get a low return (50%)
and a lot of creamy mayonnaise.

During the processing I get a good glycerin drop (15%) using Foolproof on
used veggie oil.  Everything looks good until the wash when I add the
vinegar and water to the biodiesel start the bubbling and watch the mayo
form.

There is very little water in the processing and my understanding is that
any excess methanol or lye will wash out.  Could the temperature of my
washing water or composition ( tap or faucet water from municipality) be the
cause?

Stuck on the final stage!!!

Mike
