Re: Californians 50% I don't want to step on a good thing, but is it 50% because of the climate, or 50% because Californians are different or more energy conscious? My gfather lives in San Diego. He almost never has to turn the heat on, ever. He only uses AC on the hotest of days.. perhaps 5 days if that. Contrast that to my coast, and its cold cold cold in the winter.. and hot and muggy in the summer where you might leave the AC in the car on while you tkae a shower and get ready for your date..lest you get all sweaty before you AC can cool your car. not everyone owns a garage So i dont really like the 50% one.. on the other hand..

Re: [biofuels-biz] RE: californians 50%
Hi David, The fact is that California during many years have a very active program for saving of energy. This is the reason, because if you look at other states in US, with similar climate conditions, they are at average or above average. Of course, a lot is AC in those states, very much offices. If you look at statistics over the years and growth, you can clearly see that it is man made savings. California is the state that is and has been the most active state in US, when it comes to energy conservation and pollution. We had many exchange students and visiting professors from California in the Swedish universities. Still the Californian use twice as much energy as the average Swede. But they are best in the US after Hawaii, which is definitely determined by the climate.

[biofuels-biz] Worldwatch Online Discussion - Friday, January 24
For example, in the energy economy, the path to reform leads away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources, and in materials production, away from primary reliance on mining and more on recycling. Keith NEWS FROM THE WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE State of the World 2003 Online Discussion * * Friday, January 24, 2003 12PM-1PM EST (17:00-18:00 GMT) Chat live with Chris Bright about his State of the World 2003 chapter, A History of our Future The environmental and social challenges we face today---from population to pollution to ecological decline---are enormous, but not intractable, writes Chris Bright in his State of the World 2003 chapter, A History of Our Future. As history demonstrates, people are capable of fundamental change for the better. Bright says that a barrier to change is that damage assessments often have an air of unreality because they bear little obvious relation to life as we ordinarily live it. A great deal of environmental degradation cannot be seen. Large economies tend to displace the ill effects of behavior from the behavior itself. Few of us ever encounter the toxic waste, soil degradation, or unsustainable mining and logging that support our collective consumption patterns. It is not that hard, however, to envision the paths that reform will have to take. For example, in the energy economy, the path to reform leads away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources, and in materials production, away from primary reliance on mining and more on recycling. Despite the obvious need for change, and despite our obvious technical competence, it can still be hard to believe that real, fundamental change is possible. And yet such change does occur, even though it can be difficult to appreciate because it is so readily taken for granted. For example, who today remembers the campaign to eradicate smallpox? Join the author of A History of Our Future to discuss findings from his chapter in the Worldwatch Institute's award-winning report, and the solutions available right now to put the world's economy on a more sustainable path. * Join State of the World 2003 authors every Friday through March 14 for live web chats covering individual chapters.

[biofuel] Re: Fwd: Waste Oil Furnace
Thanks Craig, I am kind of new to computers and not very sure of what I am doing. My kids have to help me sometimes. But I feel so dumb asking. I asked about the heaters today and he said that none of them are safe enough for the average homeowner yet. Kind of like woodstoves because they are not set and forget. They need to be refuled once a week though so they are not quite like a woodstove. I have lived with a wood stove and it wasn't too bad to tend. Though I would have liked to only have to stoke it once a week instead of several times a day. He has two heaters that burns wvo and one that burns gliceren. One is like a big candle with a bunch of wicks. It only produces a little heat...enough for one room. One is like a rocket engine and produces enough heat to melt metals. And one is like a tall metal tube full of sand and makes steam. I don't know what the sand is for. He calls his generator his co-generator and uses the heat in his house and sells the electricity. He says it is mostly to get a bunch of hours so he can see if it hurts the engine. ?? We are both very busy during the week but we will be spending some time together this weekend. Are there any other questions you want me to ask? He is really proud of his experiments and is usually happy to share it with anybody that is interested. In fact sometimes that is all he talks about! :( Heidi --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, craig reece [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Heidi, No, you sent it to the biofuels Yahoo group, and I responded to the group.

[biofuel] oil production
Hello, Keith, I was wondering about some of the information I have seen you post regarding the amount of world food production that is produced with no land. I think I remember seeing 15% and I am wondering if you could point me towards some sources for that information. We are running a permaculture designers course here right now and I got into a discussion with one of the instructors who was very interested by those figures. I am also interested in what the list feels is the potential for the production of oil crops without taking up agricultural space for food production. and thanks for all the posts on the drum modification, I am well on my way now. cheers, Jack Jack Kenworthy Sustainable Systems Director The Cape Eleuthera Island School 242-359-7625 ph. 242-359-7697 fax www.islandschool.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] 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.

Re: [biofuel] working systems
Heidi, I was watching to see if a discussion started up. I just purchased a 15 acre homestead in Oregon where I will be plunging into WVO for vehicles, home electrification of a modern home, and home/workshop space/water heating with furnaces - all run on WVO. It will be an incremental project though as an aviation mechanic with electronic background I expect I will be making what is not available cost effectively off the market shelf. I would like the email to that individual for in depth discussions that would be too laborious to carry on in a mailing list. Of course, progress reports will be posted to this mail list. Its a great list and I would not be making the move into total energy self-sufficiency with discarded material. Well, I need to prepare for the closing.

[biofuel] Waste Oil Heaters
Are there any WVO designs that are passive heaters of sizable BTU output? There are kerosene heaters that by the amount of wick can be of sufficient size to be the equivalent of an average house furnace (50-100K BTU). The oil fired boilers and furances use various pumps/fans/etc. to create a mist with a flame front producing high BTU in a small area. The WVO is thicker; but, can preheated WVO be used in a wick system? This would seem to be simpler to design, safer to use, and would trade compactness for lower BTU/sq. The burner itself could even preheat the fuel as is done in a typical coleman stove passing the liquid fuel in a pipe across the burner flame. Well, maybe a small circulating fuel pump, safety/control circuits, and a pilot light would make this not quite passive yet close. So, are there any WVO designs that are passive heaters of 50-100K BTU or more output?

Re: [biofuel] I need some information about bioethanol business
Dear Ezio: In reply to your three questions: #1- Please rephrase the first question again, its meaning is not clear to me. #2- You can blend ethanol with gasoline in any proportion you may wish, starting at 8% up to 85%. Even neat ethanol, 100% pure, can be used on modified engines. Millions of cars in Brazil have been running on neat ethanol for decades. There are cars made by major manufacturers in USA that can use a blend of 85%-15% gasoline. I understand gasoline price in Italy is extremely high, therefore there is a great opportunity to substitute ethanol for gasoline. Important economic and environmental benefits will accrue. #3- One of the best sources of information available on ethanol issues, from technology to legislation, is ECO Please visit them at http://www.eesi.org/ They will welcome your suggestions, comments, and questions. Another source for information is NREL, Department of Energy, US Gov. Finally, if you are interested to learn about the most efficient way to produce ethanol from Sucrose (sugar cane molasses, sugar cane juice), or Glucose (from corn starch and other starches) or from Fructose, I can send a two-page document directly to your Email address, which describes the High-Speed Low-Effluent yeast and process. The new yeast and process can: * Produce 3 complete fermentations per day (One complete cycle every 8 hours) * Ferment in very high Brix substrates (Up to 35 Brix) * Increases fermenters productivity by 6-fold over conventional yeasts and processes * Recycle the yeast over and over without the use of centrifuges * This yeast and process combination reduces distillery effluent (vinasse) from 14-15 liters per liter ethanol, to only 5 - 7 liters, thus minimizing effluent treatment and disposal costs * Capital costs for new plants can be lower by 30 to 45% vs. conventional plants (Less equipment, fewer fermenters, less space, etc.) * Existing distilleries can be economically converted to the H-S / L-E yeast and process. The same invitation is kindly extended to all the forum members. I have extensive archives on fuel ethanol, please be my guests. With best regards, Luis R.

RE: [biofuel] Waste Oil Heaters
Wick heaters work great with KeroseneI ruined a wick trying biodiesel with one though. Worse yet with SVO. A new wick configuration (perhaps using metal microtubes instead) would be required I think. BTW-The coleman stoves are vapor atomizing---i.e. vaporizing, burners. Vaporizing burners work well with diesel, biodiesel or SVO I should think. I use a vapor atomizing burner on my steamboat. Problems include overheating the fuel in the vaporizer causing free carbon atoms, which accumulate clog up the pipes and any heat transfer screens in the vaporizer. The hot vapor and carbon dust mix also severely grinds away at any exposed pipe threads and other things you don't want to erode. Finally, before that high temp is reached, the fuel and vaporizer has to be preheated, usually with some other fuel, and rarely automatic. This takes time, is very difficult to get exact as to when to open the valve to allow vaporized fuel to flow to the burners, etctoo early opening the valve and you risk sending liquid gunk to the burner jets, thereby clogging them. So vaporizing burners are challenging at least. -Myles Twete, Portland, Or.

It is not that hard, however, to envision the paths that reform will have to take. For example, in the energy economy, the path to reform leads away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources, and in materials production, away from primary reliance on mining and more on recycling. Despite the obvious need for change, and despite our obvious technical competence, it can still be hard to believe that real, fundamental change is possible. And yet such change does occur, even though it can be difficult to appreciate because it is so readily taken for granted. For example, who today remembers the campaign to eradicate smallpox?

[biofuel] Looking For Connections in Milwaukee
I stumbled upon biodiesel while on Metafilter and became completely hooked on the idea. However, since both my van and car were gasoline based, and working, I was left wringing my hands, waiting for one to die. It happened (trany on the van), and I've gone and purchased a Mercedes-Benz 240D off of eBay for $1025 with 115K on it. Yeah, I'm nuts. Any way, I hope to be producing my own biodiesel by Spring. I was wondering if anybody else was located in the Southeaster Wisconsin area and could give me any advice for getting supplies and what not around here. Maybe even recommend a good mechanic if ther're driving a similar vehicle!

[biofuel] Biodiesel Properties???
Hello, I am planning to use biodiesel to heat my home next winter because I just paid $240 to pump 200 gallons of heating oil into my fuel oil furnace in my basement to get me through this harsh winter. I have some concerns though. Can someone tell me the average viscosity, density, and energy content (Joules per kg burned) of biodeiesel vs. that of home heating oil.
