Tomas,

I am not as up to date on battery technology as I would like to be. Could
you or anyone else update me on these new type batteries and battery
technology in general?

Keith if this is in the achives, sorry I still haven«t been to them yet.
Maybe this weekend or next I will get some free time.

Hello folks,

I've just read an exciting piece of news. The new crop of electric
batetries is upon us.
These are the usual Li-Ion batteries, but with a twist - ability to
charge to 80% capacity in 1minute.
Also these have excelent lifecycle - only loose 1% of capacity after
1000 cycles
The energy density is the same as usual Li-Ions (not very much, when
compared to gasoline
energy density, but sifficient).
Article also says that these will debut in 2006, probably in hybrid cars
first.
Also has the potential to revive the electric cars

This is the kind of breakthrough I've dreamed for a long time.
Generaly speaking, such breakthroughs can change the entire landscape of

electricity usage.

Re: [Biofuel] Set up help

[AMY LEWIS]

I'm new to the list, and very serious about getting a processor together as
soon as I've managed to get good at making small batches.

Diesel is $2.75 a gallon here, so making it at 70 cents is tremendously
appealing, and I'm very much dependent upon my beloved 96  Dodge 2500
Cummins 4x4, Hank the Tank for his heavy lifting capability which my
business depends upon.

A couple questions:

It would seem to me that the very best material for the tanks in a BD
processor would be stainless steel, right?

Where might one order a Ph meter?

Does anyone have connections for the necessary chemicals in northern CA?

I read one method of making BD that uses sulphuric acid, and I'm pretty sure
I can't get that at Walmart, is it necessary to use this evil stuff?

thanx!

Amy
