Thanks for the input. I wanted to show concern, but
not discouragement. I think Mark is asking a really
good question.

A mixture of biofuels would effect dependance on one
or the other and I think it would be a great
achievement to develop a cost effective way to pull

Re: [Biofuel] wash water

2005-03-26 Thread Jeremy & Tracy Longworth

I am no expert on this subject. But from my experiences (however few they may 
be) I have had better luck with my water strait out of the well than with my 
softened water. Although I have never had an emulsion formation due to softened 
water; I have read that salt can help prevent emulsion but can hinder soap 
formation. The soap can then clog your fuel filters and cause other problems.

This serves as a slight problem for me because I like to add hot water to the 
wash and my hot water is softened. Aside from hooking up another hot water 
heater pre-softener I guess for now I will just make sure my fuel is warm 
before it goes into the wash.

It is my understanding that there are cyclical variations in the size of the 
caribou population in Alaska and Canada.  I gather that certain measures were 
taken 
in the construction of the pipeline to mitigate its effects on the caribou 
(notably 
migration patterns), precisely because of vocal concerns expressed that there 
could 
be an impact.  However, I am not aware of any credible link that would explain 
an 
increase in the caribou population because of the pipeline.  

I have not seen the area of Alaska proposed for oil exploration and drilling.  
I 
have seen the land near my grandfather's property both before and after Chevron 
drilled exploratory holes on it.  No oil was found, but over twenty years 
later, 
there were still patches of that pasture where grass was not growing.  (I have 
not 
visited the area in almost a decade now.)  The exploration, drilling, 
extraction, 
storage, transport, refining and use of oil are not benign activities.

 Several research have  been carried out  to mix Ethanol/Diesel ,
but not yet come well  come to comercial scale. See the  previous post
here in this group  to make microemulsion of ethanol and additives 
which need to be pure , not  hydrated.
   With suitable additives which are very  effective had been  known  
, but are   very  costlier and  biodeisel  can be  an additive to make
 possible the use ethanol  to  increase cetane number as reported in

biodiesel in the summer and then switch to regular diesel in the winter.


The only perfectly safe method is to use a two tank system. Other than that, 
you'll have to work with anti-gel additives and pulling the cream off your 
fuel, saving the higher gel point esters for summer and using the lower gel 
point fuel for winter.

Hello All,

There is a producer of Biodiesel in my area (Finally!). I am thinking
of buying it bulk (in 55 gallon drums) to keep in my garage. I am
unable to produce myself, so I need to purchase. As of yet, there are
no actually fueling stations, so buying in bulk is my only option. I
am apprehensive because the man who runs the station told me that B100
freezes in the wintertime, that is something I wasn't aware of. Have
you encountered that, and what do you do to get around it? I live in
Wisconsin, winter lasts at least half of the year. I don't want to use
biodiesel in the summer and then switch to regular diesel in the winter.

Any suggestions, or insight?

Thanks a lot,

Sorry Paul. Until you've walked some of the old drilling sights in Alaska 
and seen how the promises of "enviornmentally safe" quickly unraveled or

Have you ever seen the area to be used for oil development.  It is a vast

Re: [Biofuel] hybrid Ethanol/Diesel - How high Ethanol/Diesel ratio can be used with an unmodifyed engine ?

2005-03-26 Thread Michael Redler

I'm by no stretch of the imagination, am expert. But,
I'd imagine that you might run into trouble as the
alcohol brings the cetane value down, effecting
combustion.

Can sombody offer some feedback on this? Maybe (I
hope) it's not a serious concern.

Subject: Re: [Biofuel] wind powered water pumps

Greetings,
I don't see how the pump can be real high tech if they have existed for 
over 2000 years.  Yes, one can use high tech to build one, but it should

not be necessary.  My uncle had one that was only 20 feet tall and it 
worked just fine.  He built it himself.  Depends where you are.  He was
in 
the middle of the bald prairie.  I am trying to find information about
how 
they were made before they went high tech and got real expensive.

Yes, I am aware that the low tech ones are not as dependable, need more 
wind to actually pump and the other limitations.  I don't see this as a 
problem.  I don't want the upkeep on a high tech system.  I want
something 
that can be repaired at home.  I have entirely too much stuff already
that 
when it breaks, it will be permanently broken due to parts be 
un-available.  I am tired of built in obsolescence and new designs.

Bright Blessings,
Kim

Kim! That is the right attitude towards technology. I've had enough of
the built in obsolescence as well. The key to good technology is sharing
information on how it is built and maintained. 

I have seen small parts of a good wind powered water pumping system. I'd
really like to try it unfortunately I don't have the tools or time to
attempt it now.

Start with a pipe. Fill it with an auger type structure. Build the auger
out of whatever material you find handy. Wood, metal, plastics. You want
the auger to get as close to the pipe rim as possible. Wood will rot,
but you can always get another tree to make another auger out of.
Hopefully. ;)

The windmill is again built out of whatever is hand. Probably wood,
perhaps cloth or even leaves. I'm wondering about windmill fans made of
leaves and twigs then coated with glue. I think I could make them light
and strong. The basic design of a fan is not difficult.

Attach the fan to the auger in the pipe. Use bicycle gears to transfer
the energy. A longer auger and pipe will be better than a fast auger. A
fast auger will wear out faster and have more stresses. A long slow
auger might be able to keep a momentum / current going.

Good luck.

I also don't know too much about this subject,but in
Richard Heinberg's book 'Power Down',he states a few
things about it.Taking his point of view,would be
mostly pessamistic,but it seems as though he thinks
there are a lot of technical diffuculties in acquiring
it, and possible catastrophic consequences in doing
so.
Technical difficulties are that you have to mine it
from the ocean floor...and when doing this,it could
disrupt sea floor stability, causing huge under-water
landslides that could possibly create tsunamis, and
release the frozen methane into the ocean,which makes
it way up to the surface and into the atmosphere.
Methane is over twenty times as effective as carbon
dioxide in trapping the sun's energy on earth(a really
good working greenhouse gas).Something jaw-dropping
that was also in his book stated that there is
sometimes methane hydrate trapped in permantly frozen
soil on land,like Siberia and Alaska...and 'Russian
engineers have actually suggested pumping nuclear
waste under the Siberian permafrost to thaw the
hydrate fields there so they can be
exploited.'What???!!!

I lost a family friend, more of an "uncle" in the Piper Alpha disaster when

It's a dangerous business & all too often lessons are learned when it's too

[Biofuel] Process Question

Hello to all,

In the set up I have here at the City of Eufaula Public Works, I preheat the
wvo before transferring to the processor. I hadn't thought of this until
today, but the volume of 200 gallons of oil cold is less than it is at temp.
I have been filling the processor to the the 200 gallon mark with hot oil.
Have I been overdosing
my process with catalyst?

Thanks for any help.

[Biofuel] New Biodiesel Mandate

2005-03-26 Thread TILAPIA

If you are interested in how the market for biodiesel is growing, here is 
another significant new user coming into full operation soon.   This will have 
an 
impact on maintain the retail price even with new suppliers.

 Biodiesel Mandate for Navy and Marine Facilities


 March 22, 2005



Jefferson City, Missouri [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] Beginning June 1, 2005 
all U.S. Navy and Marine non-tactical diesel vehicles will be required to 
operate on a B20 (20 percent) biodiesel blend as part of the military's efforts 
to 
increase their use of domestic and clean fuels.







-
Homestead Inc.
www.yellowbiodiesel.com






 "Naval leaders clearly recognize the responsibility the Navy has to reduce 
its own use of petroleum..."

- Joe Jobe, NBB executive director

 Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary (Installations and Environment) Wayne 
Arny, of the U.S. Department of the Navy issued the memorandum.

The U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines all use B20, a mixture of 20 
percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel, at different bases and stations 
throughout 
the country. Biodiesel can be used in its pure form (B100) or can be blended 
at any level with petroleum diesel. It can be used in diesel engines with few 
or no modifications and has similar horsepower, torque and BTU content 
compared to petroleum diesel while offering excellent lubricity.

The January 18, 2005 Navy memo provided guidance for biodiesel use including 
that it can be supplied by the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) and used 
where adequate fuel tanks are available. The policy does not apply to tactical 
military equipment or deployable commercial equipment intended to support 
contingency operations.

"We commend the Navy for its leadership role in advancing the use of 
biodiesel and other alternative fuels," said Joe Jobe, NBB executive director. 
"With 
the U.S. importing more than
half of all oil consumed, turning to domestic energy sources like biodiesel 
is critical. The Navy is setting a positive example for the rest of the nation 
with this new policy."

Jobe added that the Navy is the largest user of diesel fuel in the world, and 
is charged with protecting shipping routes to import petroleum to the United 
States.

"Naval leaders clearly recognize the responsibility the Navy has to reduce 
its own use of petroleum, and we commend them for that," Jobe said.

In 2003, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) in Port Hueneme, Calif. began a 
unique pilot program making biodiesel from its own biodiesel processing unit. 
Eventually, the Navy could send portable biodiesel processing units overseas to 
produce its own fuel while on missions abroad. This could give the U.S. 
military a tactical advantage should fuel supplies be compromised.

[Biofuel] Freezing

2005-03-26 Thread shan

Hello All,

There is a producer of Biodiesel in my area (Finally!). I am thinking
of buying it bulk (in 55 gallon drums) to keep in my garage. I am
unable to produce myself, so I need to purchase. As of yet, there are
no actually fueling stations, so buying in bulk is my only option. I
am apprehensive because the man who runs the station told me that B100
freezes in the wintertime, that is something I wasn't aware of. Have
you encountered that, and what do you do to get around it? I live in
Wisconsin, winter lasts at least half of the year. I don't want to use
biodiesel in the summer and then switch to regular diesel in the winter.

Any suggestions, or insight?

Thanks a lot,

Martin, don't be so hard on yourself m8!!!

As others have said you have done what you could with what you had - isn't
that what we here are all well accustomed to do? If something doesn't work
quite right - we adapt.

I feel a sense of responsibility now for the fact that the web space I had
promised, through Mike, has taken so long to be set up merely due to lack of
proper communication, through no ones fault. 

As far as the quality of content of discussion on the list - this is not
down to you - it is the list members that enrich this aspect. The fact that
you, Keith & all the rest of us may be preoccupied with projects, work,
family etc to be able to contribute to the list on current or new topics of
discussion is irrelevant. Lists have quiet times just like any other
organisation you can imagine.

Chill out - you are doing a grand job - & whilst you may think "this just
ain't working right!" - everything will fall into place - we all work to
this principle by the nature of what we do - you are a big part of that so
stick with it - you are needed!

I need to know if the mirror server we offered is set up & working ok - if
not I will chase it up - but please "spam" me till we have it set up, there
is no reason why this should all be on your shoulders, so speak up m8y.

We have a critical job to do - we can't give up now!

[Biofuel] hybrid Ethanol/Diesel - How high Ethanol/Diesel ratio can be used with an unmodifyed engine ?

2005-03-26 Thread

Hi All

I was looking at the feasibility of adding a hybrid Ethanol injection
system to 
An old Diesel VW rabbit. 

Does anyone know how much Ethanol added to an unmodified Diesel engine
and run properly ?

I was considering a CSI injection system into the manifold just before
the intake valves.
These are readily available at the auto Wreakers and easily
controllable. 
I can lower the compression ratio a bit if it would allow higher
Ethanol/Diesel ratios but run on pure Diesel. 

The thought was to have the engine run on Diesel at start and idle then
increase the 
Ethanol/Diesel mixture when the RPMs and power is high. 

Thanks
M

2005-03-26 Thread mkmiller

I monitor this list daily, and I have not noticed any problem that would have 
prevented me from participating in a discussion.

Remember, the Internet is  based on a conectionless protocol technology that 
has absolutely zero assurance of performance. Packets get lost, messages get 
scrambled, but overall the systems works well and efficiently.

I can only guess what the back traffic you must be getting includes, but I 
suggest you respond by telling them to suck it up or leave.

This discussion forum has provided me with more knowledge and insight than four 
years of college. 

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Michael

Prezado Raul,

Carl Bielenberg from Marshfield Vermont- founder of the Apropriate
Technologies fair- while in africa developed a very interesting and
efficient hand-powered oil press with the type of production capacity
you are looking for. 
You can see plans at: http://www.jatropha.org/rampresses/biel-ram.htm

He is fairly accessible, and since you all share the connecticut river,
perhaps you can even visit.

Be well,
Adrian

Re: [Biofuel] ( off topic) Israel confirms settlement growth

2005-03-26 Thread fox mulder



Source: BBC News

Last Updated: Monday, 21 March, 2005, 16:36 GMT

Israel confirms settlement growth

About 390,000 Jewish settlers already live in the West
Bank

The Israeli government has confirmed plans to increase
the size of its 
largest settlement in the West Bank.

  Approximately 3,500 homes are planned for Maale
Adumim, east of 
Jerusalem.

  The settlements at Ariel in the northern West Bank,
and Gush Etzion, 
south of Jerusalem, are also expected to be expanded.

  Israeli officials confirmed that Defence Minister
Shaul Mofaz has 
approved the construction of the new homes in Maale
Adumim.

  Defence Ministry spokeswoman Shiri Eden said the
expansion of the 
settlement is part of an overall development plan for
Maale Adumim 
approved by the government in 1999.

  Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the
Israeli plan 
threatened hopes of restarting the Middle East peace
process.

  "[This] sabotages all efforts seeking to get the
peace process back 
on 
track," he told the AFP news agency.

"The Israeli government wants to determine Jerusalem's
fate by 
presenting the settlements and wall as a fait
accompli.

  "We ask the Quartet and American President George
Bush: what happened 
to the two-state vision and how can we have peace
while settlements and 
the wall continue to be built?" Mr Erekat said.

  Under the peace plan known as the roadmap, Israel
pledged to freeze 
the growth of settlements on land occupied since 1967.
The plan is 
sponsored by the "quartet" of the US, Russia, European
Union and United 
Nations.

  The international community considers all
settlements in Gaza and the 
West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as illegal under
international 
law, though Israel disputes this.

  About 400,000 Jewish settlers live in Gaza and the
West Bank, 
including East Jerusalem - alongside more than four
million 
Palestinians.

I see parrallels developing between desertification in other countries and 
this one.  Interactions between desertification and production of hurricanes.  
Excessive tree harvesting in Africa (by African people), creating the Sahara 
desert, causes the hurricanes that cross the Atlantic, causing death and 
destriction along its passage along the East Coast of  the US.  On a trip to 
Provincetown, our tour guide gave a historical of the development of this part 
of the 
country.  One of the causes of the production of those nice sand dunes, that 
we see on post cards, is excessive tree harvesting by the settlers at 
colonization time.  Local governments had to hire volunteers to put plants into 
the 
dunes to stabilize them.

I guess some things only happen as time passes, like dictatorships will 
evolve only when their rulers die on their own time.  Agriculture will change 
in 
the MidWest will change when older people practicing intensive farming and 
holding control over the farms die off on their own.  Maybe we can wait that 
long, 
maybe not.  Only time will tell.

I would like to apologize for the technical problems that have occured
with regard to the biofuel list and the JtF website over the past 2
years,
and the associated consequences that took place as a result. They are
all
my fault, however; I would like to say that I "did what I could with
what
I had at my disposal" (as much as that may be a cop-out).

If Keith would like to move his services to another facility I would
invite him to respond publicly and let everyone know.

I would not mind continuing to host the services as I have, due to the
generous donations the server has indeed been upgraded, despite the
rocky
road everyone travelled to get to this point.

I would also invite everyone to continue their discussions as I feel
personally responsible for the decline in useful discussions. I felt
that
I would be doing the Biofuel list community a favor by hosting it on an
alternative location rather than Yahoo site, but I suppose it is once
again not working well. I have undone all of the hard work that Keith
has
put into the list trying to make it sustainable.

This message is a result of the recent technical deficiencies that have
occured as a result of my inability to effectively move all of the web
services from one server to another.

Back in the 80's there was a report published about the findings of number 
of independant scientists investigating the effects of burning diesel fuel 
and the connection to the big increase of asthma in children. Not only did 
they find the two very much connected, they also claimed diesel was 
responsible for causing cancer. Do you know anybody who has died from lung 
cancer that didn't smoke? It also went on to state it was one of the most 
dangerous substances known to man because of the increasing volume of usage. 
Does anybody remember this report?. I know several people who do- they all 
own diesel powered cars. It's funny how we all think that nothing is going 
to happen to us, just to the other bloke. Does anyone know of any research 
done on the effects of biodiesel on the human body? Is it less harmfull? I 
hope it is as i intend to make some.  regards  A&T.

[Biofuel] No Blood on Our Hands

2005-03-26 Thread Appal Energy


Jesus Bomb?" and "What Would Jesus Drive (Ride)?"

http://www.tompaine.com/articles/no_blood_on_our_hands.php
No Blood On Our Hands
Sister Dianna Ortiz
March 25, 2005

Good Friday brings Christians once again to the darkest day of the year, the
torture and death of Jesus.

For those of us who are both Christians and survivors of torture, Good
Friday has an additional meaning.  It is but one more reminder that for the
tortured, every day is Good Friday-in the sense that during every day of the
year, there are those who hang on one government's cross or another,
tortured as was Jesus 2000 years ago.


From that day to this, governments that torture have justified what they do,

saying "What we have done is only what we had to do."  Rather than calling
it  torture, we are assured that what is done-whatever it is-is "for the
protection of the state, the protection of you, the people." If questioned
closely, we are assured that, "There is no blood on our hands." If there is
blood-that is, if it cannot be denied that blood has been spilled-then it is
not the leaders who spilled it but, only those on the lowest levels from
whom such barbaric acts may be expected.

So it has been for a long time, and so it is today.  Our leaders attempt to
keep secret what they do.  When they are caught, they claim that what they
do is not what they do-that is, they lie.   When they cannot deny what was
done, they blame others-those far from them, "hillbillies" and "bad apples"-
intentionally using code words to imply, "They are not like us. What can you
expect from those with no culture?"  It is as if what happened on that
Friday so long ago was caused by a few Roman bad apples, low-level soldiers,
standing around the cross, acting on their own to produce that death agony
taking place there.

In this, the holiest time in the Christian calendar, what might we ask our
leaders?  What might we ask that-although they will not give it- is within
their power to give?

In the spirit of Easter, might we at least hope for a resurrection of truth
from President George W. Bush and those who work for him? Instead, what we
hear is something like: "Renditions occur, it is true, and indeed to
countries that torture. But we make sure to ask them if they intend to
torture this particular person and they say, 'No, of course not.'  And we,
of course, believe them."  We are asked to accept this type of statement as
truth.  Donald Rumsfeld certifies procedures which are plain and simple
torture (not abuse), yet he meant them to be used only in Guant‡namo- not in
Iraq, for heaven's sake.  He is not responsible for what happened there. 
It's

those bad apples.  All agree they must be punished, and they are.  No blood
on Rumsfeld's hands.

Apparently, while he was White House counsel, Alberto Gonzales decided
nothing, influenced nothing. He just passed on memos from the Justice
Department to the president. No blood on his hands. And the president
himself?  He states to the world that the U.S. position on torture is never
: to anyone, anywhere, any time for any reason. Yet he had signed the
rendition order long before he made  that statement on June 26, 2003.  No
blood on his hands.

If the Bush administration won't stop torturing-and apparently they 
won't-will

they not, at least, stand up and tell the truth? The de facto policy of the
Bush administration is to torture. Own up to it. Tell the truth. That indeed
would be an Easter miracle.
