Re: [Biofuel] Acid catalyst for biodiesel production, hemp oil, smell of exhaust
Boy that is a blast from the past. It goes quite well with the my original posting which was nostalgic in nature though. I looked into hemp oil for biodiesel but got told that hemp oil was better used for other things like high grade cullinary oils with high yields of GLA from omega 3, 6 and 9.

Re: [Biofuel] Changfa diesel generator
Hi; Thanks to everyone for the response. I contacted an australian company about the cellular concrete and they do endorse it for use as a sound and thermal insulator. see www.buildlite.com.au Of more interest is the use of a tractor silencer or special silencer like the salt water idea. Does the salt water heat up? Ultimately I would like to run the generator on wvo filtered to 5 or ten microns and the exhaust may provide a better source of heat even than the water coolant to get the oil up to temperature. Thanks very much Andrew and Tracy and John and Paula Chase.

Re: [Biofuel] Changfa diesel generator
Great Chears Hakan; It's the Changfa engine from a Jetman 12KVA generating set and it's very noisy.Presumably, because it's such a big engine.It's not, currently, sound proofed in any way but there is a baffle on the exhaust. It looks exactly like the picture on the first page of www.utterpower.com . I've seen baffles for the exhaust advertised on ebay.Would these make any significant difference to the noise? I could quite easily build a box around it with wood and line that with high temperature something or other to act as a sound proof.Do you know if this would work? What would be the best material to sound proof it with? I'm here in Oxfordshire in the UK. Slap bang in the middle of town. There is a cellar, however, part of which reaches under the pavement!If I can get the generator into this part of the cellar all aprox 200 KG of it or more and it cannot be heard on the street outside, when I run it, then I'll be quids in but if it can be heard then I've got to start thinking of ways to sound proof it so that I can sell it.

[Biofuel] remedial help required
Hi, After attempting to make a 100ml sample (i.e. 100ml virgin oil). I'm left with 120ml of glumpy emulsion with a strong chemical smell. Will this ever separate or is this soap? I've had trouble disolving my caustic soda granules which seem to be, on average, over 1.25 mm in diameter so I've tried smashing them with a hammer but I fear that moisture may be getting in this way unless my methanol is spiked.

Re: [Biofuel] using ethanol for BioD based on
- Original Message - From: John Wilson > > HI, > Anyone know the details of this process or where one can find how it > works. > > Yours truly > John Wilson > Goldens I think the technology for this is similar to that used an alkaliser. Alkalisers are employed to make hydroxyl from tap (forcet) water. Hydroxyl is HO or h one o.In other words an electron is dissociated form water H2O to produce hydroxyl.Hydroxyl is the form in which water is stored in the cells of the human body it is also the stuff of ice bergs and ice sheets.It exchanges, like all things in this solar system, energy on the infra red spectrum or a spectrum of frequencies that doesn't look too dissimilar from the mobile phone licensing frequencies. Indeed, when we look for water in space we look for hydroxyl with our radio telescopes and since hydroxyl can be made to resonate at the lower end of the spectrum we get an hydroxyl maser.I digress. The point I wish to make is that the dissociation reaction in an alkaliser is spead (note the hard verb) up by the use of an electronic scheme involving platinum electrodes and the like.There is a magnetic or load stone version but it is much slower. Anyhow, I think that chemical reactions, generally, can be spead up by a magenetic field.I'm not sure whether it must be lined up with the earth's magnetic field or not.I suppose if one conducted experiments in a lead enclosure this would not matter too much. Waffle waffle. Sorry if I've wasted your time.

Also of the threads it seems to be the most constructive and potentially fruitfull presumeably even to the single most experienced people. I have been helped by other people like lagal eagle and fox moulder be it simply because they've resonded or taken a rudimentary interest in what I've posted and I would like to thank them.

However , much of my experience is with making alkalisers for water thence altering the PH of water by altering the oxidisation reduction potential or ORP of the water molecule. It occurs to me that perhaps my posting was a bit brash. However, if there were any water in the mix it would dissotiate it (probably best performed at the first melting of the wvo stage.) Also, the electrical current would increase any effect that the earths magnetic field had on the reaction (arguably time) thence may be useful at the adding of the Methanol/lye product Methoxide to the melted/heated wvo.I havn't tried it yet in as much as I haven't even worked on any of the reactions. Indeed, I am currently in the process of obtaining Methanol for my first experiments. I do possess a platinum electrode, however, which you'll need to conduct this procedure successfully.

Re: [Biofuel] wvo won't react
Hi, I just read this more thoroughly. I think if you've got a particuarly sticky batch of wvo you might try passing a current through it. This would alter the orp of any mollecules in there and therby the PH of the whole thing. As a catalyst, I think you'll find that this is the very fastest. All you need is PP9 cell and at least one platinum electrode.

It look prema faci like a very thorough and usefull document. Enlarging on my previous posting... which was by no means an expert one of any kind.I merely seem to recall reading somewhere I think it was at http://www.smartveg.com/ forum well worth a visit anyhow that wvo had an higher acid content than svo or even derv.The older the oil the more acidic it becomes.Also, wvo has water and impurities in it that would not make it an ideal replacement for svo in a dual tank scheme for example...

Re: [Biofuel] wvo won't react
Hi; I'm a new member.I just read that WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) has got a higher level of acidity than ordinary oil. (particuarly rapeseed oil which is why it's used.) Might the acidity of the wvo have an effect on the reaction. I think lye is an alkali but i'm not a chemist so I don't know, unfortunately.
