I'd like to run ethanol in my truck! Getting higher compression out of a Briggs and Stratton engine would involve milling the cylinder head. For the amount of time the shredder will be used every year, that hardly seems to justify the machine shop expense. I've also seen tiny turbos in my internet meanderings, and while installing one of those would be really cool (Robert's turbo shredder!), I'm probably better off to swap the engine with an electric motor when it dies. > You could buy the horse and feed it the cornstalks and compute your milage > based on that! Then I wouldn't need the shredder, would I? robert luis rabello "The Edge of Justice" Adventure for Your Mind http://www.newadventure.ca Ranger Supercharger Project Page http://www.members.shaw.ca/rabello/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
