Ethanol As A Fuel

    View: 
Ojibwa hunters in Northern Ontario tell funny stories about a drunken moose named Ayaabekw?bii that waits a week after the first autumn frost to eat the mountain ash berries in the forest. The freezing loosens the fruit's natural sugars and fermentation occurs in the warm autumn sun. According to the Ojibwa, the mischievous moose actually dislikes the taste of the berries, but enjoys how they make him feel. As you might imagine, an intoxicated moose is a hazard to unprepared hikers and motorists that happen to cross its path. Unlike drunken humans, this animal weighs eight hundred pounds and has an arsenal of hammers and knives on its head. After listening to the Ojibwa's cautionary tale, and being assured by outdoorsmen that the drunken moose phenomenon actually exists, I can more easily imagine early man stumbling through a primeval bush eating overripe grapes.



According to Princeton's Samuel Wise, man's first ?home brew? was probably date wine. Egyptian hieroglyphs show kegs of beer and date wine being included among the Pharaoh's provisions for the afterlife. Wise believes that ethyl alcohol was made from dates, grapes and other fruit more than 8,500 years ago. This substance is intimately connected with mysticism, shamanism and alchemy - it predates all religion and laws prohibiting public drunkenness are included in Hammurabi's Code in 1750 BC.

So where and when did man first use ethyl alcohol as fuel? Although the claim is widely disputed, a cleric and alchemist (and the inventor of the first French perfumes) Raymond Lully (1235 - 1308) was the first to prepare pure ethanol by distilling fermentation alcohol three times from quicklime, CaO. Normal fractional distillation can only produce a 95% pure ethanol (95% C2H5OH - 5% H2O) because ethanol and water mixed in this composition form an azeotrope. (An azeotrope is a mixture with a fixed boiling point that cannot be further separated by fractional distillation.) The quicklime must be added to remove the water from this azeotrope by chemical reaction: CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2. It seems reasonable to me that in demonstrating the new substance's combustible nature Raymond may have tried burning it in a terra-cotta lamp with a wick. That would make him the first to ethanol as fuel.

In early modern Europe, glass chimney oil lamps were status symbols and their fuels included all kinds of vegetable oils (castor, rapeseed, peanut), animal oils (especially whale oil and tallow from beef or pork,) and refined turpentine from pine trees; and alcohol. Three hundred years later, the most popular lamp fuel in the United States (before petroleum) was a blend of alcohol and turpentine called "camphene".

By 1838, pure ethyl alcohol replaced the more expensive whale oil in most North American lamps. It easily took the lead because it was such an improvement over all other oils in use at that time. By 1860, thousands of distilleries churned out eighty million gallons of the pure spirit every year. All of which lit houses after the sun went down. In the 1850s, camphene (which sold for fifty cents a gallon) was cheaper than whale oil ($1.30 to $2.50 per gallon) and lard oil (90 cents per gallon). It was about the same price as coal oil, which was the product first marketed as "kerosene" (literally "sun fuel").

What happened next is subject to intense speculation ? The first captains of industry worked hard to make cheap fossil fuels the number one choice for the 'horseless carriages'. Rockefellers and the Rothschild's established institutions and colluded with automakers to make gasoline the transportation industry's number one fuel choice for the next hundred years... but those days are over now and energy consumers are getting smarter everyday.

NEWSFLASH ? pure ethyl alcohol C2H5OH is called ethanol, and there's nothing new about it. It's older than petroleum, and way more environmentally friendly. In fact, the more I investigate this biological fuel the more I've come to understand that ethanol is this planet's most logical fuel choice, and gasoline seems like a fad to me.

Reading about Greenfield Ethanol's ">forward looking operations in Canada helps.

Introducing his 1982 book Critical Path, Buckminster Fuller writes , ?humanity's present rate of total energy consumption amounts to only one four-millionth of one percent of the rate of its energy income. ...Ninety-nine percent of humanity does not know that we have the option to make it economically on this planet and in the Universe. We do.?
Ethanol As A Fuel
Do you know that you can make your own fuel for a fraction of the cost you pay for it at the pump? It's true. It will save you money, help the environment, and it's better for your car, truck, or SUV.

The recent front page of USA Today was titled: "Across USA, wave of anger building over gas prices." Last year everyone was outraged because gas prices went over $2.50 per gallon. This spring prices hit $74 a barrel driving the cost up to over $3.00 per gallon. What's next? $4.00? It's coming. Why? There are many factors, but here are just a few:

1. The US has not built a refinery for years within its borders

2. The US will not drill within its borders because of environmental concerns.

3. Tension in the Middle East has escalated and continues to do so.

4. Oil companies have a duty to bring shareholders profits.

5. Extremists are making it impossible to use our natural resources in the US.

6. Dictators in the Middle East are using their power to pad their pocket books.

If you don't agree with the reasons above, you probably agree that prices will continue to skyrocket for other reasons.

Want some relief? Don't wait for the big motor companies to create vehicles that run on alternative fuels, that will take years. I have a better idea:

MAKE YOUR OWN FUEL!!!

You can make gas at your home or business from Corn, Sugar beats, and even your garbage. This fuel will work in your current vehicle. You may not even need to modify it. Ethanol fuel burns so clean, it's virtually pollution free!

What's even better is that you can make it for around 55 CENTS PER GALLON!!!!

This is not a dream. This is reality. No longer do you have to rely on the politicians in Washington. No longer do you have to support Middle East terrorists! No longer do you have to be a slave to big oil and car companies! You can run your motorcycle, truck, car or fleet on your own fuel. The average family in the US is now paying over $100 per month, per car on fuel. If you have two cars, that's $2400 per year!!! If you are a business you are paying many times that for your business fleet.

NO MORE.

Ethanol is a renewable, pollution free fuel. Its only by-products are water and CO2. If you use ethanol, your car will run cooler, faster, and more efficient.

Plants are energy collecting machines. They store energy in the form of sugars and starches. Yeasts then convert these sugars into alcohol. Alcohol is an excellent, usable form of energy.

You don't have to throw away the internal combustion engine to convert a car to run on alcohol: just some minor adjustments, really. Ethanol can give you the same miles per tank of fuel, with the same or better accretion.

HOW DO I MAKE ETHANOL FUEL?

You can start today by purchasing the step-by-step instructions to build your own fuel making still. We call it "The Fuel Machine." You don't have to be highly skilled, let us hold your hand thru the process. Our still can be made in a couple of weekends.

WILL IT COST A LOT OF MONEY?

The short answer is no. You can usually get the materials you need from scrap and save money by making the still yourself with our step by step guide. The money you will save on gas will easily pay for the up front costs within a very short period of time.

WILL IT WORK FOR MY CAR?

Your car may already by ready to go. It could be classified as a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). The big car companies started making cars more adaptable to other fuel sources years ago. You can find a list of known FFV's right here: CLICK HERE

If your car is not listed you can modify your car for around $30 to $40 bucks!

Here is an example of how to convert your car to use ethanol fuel: CLICK HERE

IS THIS LEGAL?

This is 100% legal. All you have to do is contact your local alcohol, tobacco, and firearms bureau and get a permit. They will get you up to speed on your local, state, and federal laws on making your own fuel. It is not legal to use your still to make liquors for drinking. But it is absolutely legal use a still to make fuel.

CAN I DRINK IT?

No. The reason for this is that the alcohol produced in this still has a very high proof. The proof is so high that it is beyond what a human can safely consume. The higher the proof, the more efficient your car will run. Also, it is illegal to use the alcohol made from this still for drinking. E85 ethanol is required to have an additive put in it to make it smell bad, and taste terrible.

This is to discourage people from trying to drink it because if taken internally, serious injury or even death may occur. Another reason it's not for drinking is that the finished fuel contains certain contaminates that are also harmful if taken internally.

DON'T RISK IT.

We are not responsible if you try to drink this fuel.

HOW MUCH WILL I SAVE?

This depends on what you are using to make fuel, and how you are obtaining your fuel resource. You can raise a simple garden of sugar beats and save a ton of money. You can buy sugar cane, corn, or other grains in bulk and still pay much less than you would at the pump.

So the answer is that it's up to you. However you go about it, you will save money, help protect the environment and become more self sufficient.

Believe me you don't want to be stuck in a fuel shortage. With the recent high prices many reports of gas siphoning have come out. Why not avoid all of that?

ARE THERE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO MY CAR?

Because ethanol is more efficient, it cleans as it goes. Because of this you may have to change your fuel filter more often. So if you count that as a negative, to each his own. I count it as a positive because I know my car is running cleaner inside, and therefore more efficient.

SAFTY CONCERNS?

Be sure to follow all local, state, and federal laws concerning the making of your own fuel. On top of that follow all directions as indicated in our step-by-step guide.

When you are using the still, it can get very hot. Be careful to avoid burns.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The time is now. Purchase our step-by-step guide to building this still. Save money, help the environment, and become more self sufficient. You can do this.

By purchasing you will get download access to the step-by-step guide to building the fuel machine, and as a bonus, you will recieve our step-by-step guide to makeing your own fuel absolutely free!
