It's widely said to be the cutting-edge of the available information, and I'd agree with that, though I say it myself. That some of the information there has dates on it that might be earlier than yesterday doesn't mean it's "dated", just that it's still valid. Mike Pelly's method, for instance, has been there for about four years, though it's been updated a couple of times, but it's the best description available of the basic, single-stage, base transesterification method that is still the mainstay method, and what all newcomers should start with. Start here: "Where do I start?" http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start >Is there a source of up to date >plans, processes, etc. or is this it.

Use the resources at JtF, plus this list's archives (more than 30,000 messages on all aspects of biofuels, a real treasure-trove), and on-list discussion here does the rest. By the way, DON'T use Yahoo's archives, use the link that's at the bottom of each message: Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?list=biofuel It's an independent archive run by list member Martin Klingensmith, much more effective than Yahoo's clunky junk - fast, powerful, one-time searches, and no ads. >I am very mechanically inclined so the building part won't be a >problem but I like it to be as safe and efficient as possible. That's the general idea, yes. http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_processor.html Biodiesel processors Hazards K.I.S.S. processor Mike Pelly's new processor "Foolproof" method processors The touchless processor Continuous reactors Biodiesel technology Ian's vacuum biodiesel processor Chuck Ranum's biodiesel processor Micro-Production System for Biodiesel The $150 Fumeless Processor How to make a cone-bottomed processor Test-batch mini-processor More coming soon.
