 Students:Terence Fong, Elliott Owen

 Electro-Lipid Propulsion System.
 This hybrid combustion/electrical engine uses lipids (namely glycerol)
 instead of gas to create a powerful engine that reuses half of its
 explosive
 force and requires fewer cylinders. The accompanying electric motor is
 recharged by the engine.

 Glycerol is of course not a lipid. Kinda makes you wonder about the
 validity of the rest of this alleged technical miracle.

 Subject: Re: glycerol

 Interesting page, Manolo, thanks. This bit is tantalising - ferment
 it to yield butanol and ethanol:

 Glycerin is capable of undergoing fermentation under certain
 conditions. A. Fitz (1877) obtained, by the action of a certain class
 of fungi, called Schizomycetes, from glycerin diluted with twenty
 times its bulk of water, large quantities of normal butylalcohol. and
 normal butyric acid; also ethyl alcohol, capronic acid, hydrogen, and
 carbonic acid.

 I've found this page:
 
 http://www.ibiblio.org/herbmed/eclectic/kings/glycerinum.html
 
 read this on the tests and uses section:
 
 Dr. Goddard has given a formula for a very adhesive glycerin paste,
 suitable for fixing paper labels to glass and other surfaces, and
 which keeps well; it is to dissolve 1 ounce of gum Arabic in 2 fluid
 ounces of boiling water, add 2 fluid drachms of glycerin, and strain
 if necessary. This forms a valuable paste for druggists, chemists,
 and others. A glycerin jelly is prepared by intimately mixing half a
 drachm of soft soap with 2 fluid drachms of pure honey, then
 gradually adding 5 ounces of clear olive oil, stirring without
 intermission until all the oil is taken up. Care must be taken not to
 add the oil too fast. Or it may be prepared by rubbing and mixing
 well together half an ounce of powdered gum Arabic, and 4 ounces of
 simple syrup, then add the yolks of 3 eggs, and when well mixed, add
 gradually 4 ounces of olive oil, and 2 ounces of glycerin, previously
 mixed together. The ordinary dose of glycerin is 1 drachm, though
 from 2 to 4 drachms night and morning may be used.

[biofuel] Caustic soda in the UK

Hi

Sorry to be short, but you can't have looked far.  I've yet to find a DIY
sorry in the UK that doesn't stock it.  Mangers is the most common brand.

Hi Jeff

have a look at http://www.veggiepower.org.uk . It contains a few examples of
different mixers.  I'm sure yours will be different again.  If you take any
photos I'd like to include them on the site.
