Dear Mr. PanneerSelvam,
I've been reading your inputs to this forum quite for sometime and your enthusiasm is really contagious! but there are problems for individuals for producing alcohol.
The process is simple enough for small scale (back yard) production which you recommend. raw material such
PVC will get soft as it's heated. Take this into account. I'm not sure
how much heat is required though. I've seen people bend and stretch PVC
using steam or propane torch.
Also, PVC gives off dioxin when it burns.

Wind farms work in the 100 meters closest to the earth. Due to interaction with the ground it is relatively low energy compared to 1km and higher above the ground. In other words it is in the noise in terms of measurement. If you are worried about windturbines then you should worry about shelterbel

Probably a greater effect on stopping the wind, as these structures are solid
and
rigid, while the wind turbines move in response to the wind and deflect

I suspect that large arrays of wind farms would have an effect similar

Yes. The most efficient means seems to be using air compressed by wind
generated electricity to replace the air that would otherwise have to be
compressed in a gas turbine. the compressor section of a gas turbine
apparently uses roughly half the energy generated by the hot section

And when you consider the heat of compression is still in the cycle of a gas turbine you see the problem with using compressed gas. The refrigeration at expansion has to be input from the environment or you see a loss on both ends.

Really? Genuine scam? I read about it in Wired or Pop Sci, figured it
was just a master's thesis, or some defense proposal.

Sometimes engineering proposals are just gee whiz stuff. Just to show that you are capable of thinking outside the box. They don't have to have much to do with practicality. The hazard to air navigation is enough to scuttle this idea let alone the liability considerations of falling stuff. Just try

have tried 2 batches in a blender. think I've got both results the same. paying closer attention the second time. using new corn oil w/red devil lye and dry gas for methanol in a blender. my results are at first 2 very thin layers on top. the top layer a darker brown, the second layer is clear,
I was trying to theorize on what using a 100% ethanol fuel would be
like. From MH's experience, it seems pretty obvious that 10% or even
25% ethanol has no ill effects and could actually run in unmodified
