Re: [biofuel] Re: generator (what size motor?)
The problem is the higher the rpm the more noisy and the faster they wear out. Also a V belt or transmission has losses associated with it (in the 10% reqion ) On Tuesday 19 March 2002 15:34, you wrote: - You did not mention how you intend to connect the motor to the generator but you might consider a vbelt and pulley setup where you could change the pulleys to get into the power range of whatever enging you decide upon and still maintain the 1500 rpm needed. Just a thought. gaw- - In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Justin Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All I have just aquired a 11KVA alternator. I now need an engine to turn the alternator. I would like to use a petrol engine. BUT there are several problems(so I can change it over to ethenol when every thing is working :) ). The engine must run at 1500 rpm. From what I have gathered there is not much power available from a petrol engine at this rpm. I have spent several hours looking on the internet for power curves for 1.6L to 3L engines but have not been not been succesful. I would probably need about 17KW brake power at 1500rpm if I want to change it to ethanol. I was thinking of using an old MBenze engine(220 or so).

[biofuel] ethanol
Hi All I mixed a glass (250ml) table sugar two days ago with a liter and a half of water. Added a packet of yeast and left it. Every night a warm it up a bit with a light bulb for a couple of hours. It seems to be chugging along quite nicely... This weekend I am going to try and distle the brew... I would like to know how much ethanol should I expect? (This is of course just a test.) How would I use sugar cane?? I was thinking of using a couple of steal rollers to squash juice out of the cane, and then chop what is left up and mix it with water, then agitate for a while, strain and then add to the originaly extracted juice to be brewed What kind yield would I expect from a ton of sugar cane and how much water would I add to it?
