Re: [biofuel] Re: Reclaiming the methanol
Paul, one vessel would be great, but poses (at first glance) two problems: Time and batch quantity, which is to say that you'd be producing a smaller batch over a longer period of time. Sure, it's compact, but for a garage operation I'd prefer a multi-barrel approach allowing many batches to be mixed, settled, washed and stored at the same time. Just a thought! -JIM [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Please do NOT send unsubscribe messages to the list address.

Re: [biofuel] Water vs Energy Importance
Plentiful energy is currently the preserve of the rich (who waste it, mostly). For most of the world, successful water projects are very local, and low-tech. But there's no need to argue about which is more important, of course they're both important, and both problems are symptoms of an over-riding cause - an unjust and inequitable economic system. If you can call such insanity a system at all. Keith, when you talk about the inequality and inequity in the world economy, what are your views on this? Basically, what do you mean? Of course the rich waste, but to them they've earned it. If the rest of the world isn't made up of servants, they say, let them rise up and be rich. Self-fulfilling prophecy, I think. I wonder what your solution would be, Keith- i'd just watch out for putting emphasis on supposed human cooperation, goodwill and the urge to go further, faster. God, the philosophy... I hate it. Why in the hell can't people just 'get along', 'love their neighbors', and learn how to live instead of consuming? Why, for example, am I, a purty decent guy, not given options to either consume or not consume? Most of us don't have a choice; most of us never will. The world might not have a chance, and it's a curse to see the problem without even knowing how to grind yourself into the gears for a start. I'll shut up now, thanks. _JIM [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html To unsubscribe, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!

[biofuel] Cleaning oil drums
Hello All, Finally, sweet success! I found my first steel drum today, the very nucleus of my biodiesel operation. Kudos to me, I must have killed a coupla dinosaurs finding it. Anyhow, I think I probably need to clean the thing, it was used to ship some kind of marble cleaner called Thermaclean, a polymer (the label says). Any ideas of how to de-chemicalize the drum? I can't wait to get started...

Re: [biofuel] ENERGIES... week of 4/29/01
Actually, guys, fuel cells were used as early as the first gemini and up to the Apollos (which had no/few solar cells). Oxy and Hydrogen are combined in NASA cells to make water and lots (many kilowatts) of electricity. Solar panels in space are usually only good for station-keeping or low power, long-duration operations.

Re: [biofuel] From the UK:
Holy Cow!! How could Volvo say that? They should know better, if everything you guys at the bio-board have said... I've known the company to make a stand for the environment at every turn, from the early cold-weather research to the lambda-sond to the LPG... Frankly, I cannot see VOLVO, THE Volvo, missing something so obvious as the advantages as bio-d without them being correct- Everyone knows that they're owned by Ford now, right? So, you can figure Volvo=Ford, and if ford hates bio-d, so does Volvo. (Does it?) I hope to hell there's a reason to hope that Volvo is wrong, and that bio-d really is the miracle I was used to viewing it as. Hail Jendenuvaden! -JIM Bio-diesel is 10 times more carcinogenic than low sulphur diesel, exhaust fumes smell like oily chips and running costs are inflated, says Volvo. Responding to a report by the British Association of Bio Fuels, which promoted the fuel as the 'fuel of the future' Volvo claims Bio-diesel is dirtier, smellier and less fuel efficient than low sulphur diesel, and engines are more costly to maintain. Despite the move by the Government in the recent Budget to make the cost of Bio-diesel 20p per litre less than low sulphur diesel, Volvo believes that fleets should think carefully before encouraging its drivers to top up with Bio-diesel. The most alarming statistic from recent Swedish research says Bio- diesel emissions are 10 times more carcinogenic than standard low sulphur diesel used in Sweden. Tailpipe emissions of 'smog forming' oxides of nitrogen can be up to 40 per cent higher than diesel engines. Combine that with a 10 per cent drop in performance and fuel consumption when running on pure rape seed oil, the fact your car exhaust will constantly smell like oily chips and the fuel's poor low temperature performance and the future of Bio-diesel looks grim, a Volvo spokesman said.

Re: [biofuel] JIM Befuddling post
An explanation: My post was a response (included below) to someone who, in my opinion, was using the US gov'ment and the DEA in specific as scapegoats in his discussion of hemp's reluctance in becoming a new biofuel. I was aided in this conclusion by the post's lack of concrete detail, sources, or even a cursory objective view. Hell, my response may have been unfounded or spurious (or not), but I was just trying to get a response as to why the information seemed a bit opinionated. -JIM Subj: Re: [biofuel] Date: 4/29/2001 10:35:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time From:Ê Ê [EMAIL PROTECTED] (jerry dycus) Reply-to:Ê Ê biofuel@yahoogroups.com To:Ê Ê biofuel@yahoogroups.com Ê Ê Hi Ian and All, --- ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes there are THC free strains, (but the others are best ;) ) ian Ê ÊÊ I'll smoke to that;-)).
