Ethanol Fuel

When Congress mandated Ethanol additive to oxygenate our fuels, it drove up the cost of our fuels & ethanol. This is a forced market! What our fearless leaders should have done: Offer tax credit incentives; let the markets work this out in competition & lower prices.

The stock beet (also known as SORGHUM GRAINS) is by far the easiest to raise. It can be raised for about $10 per ton. You can make about 280 gallons of ethanol Fuel per ton.

This Video is a recreation of the above seminar with greater details, visual quality & information. Very Good!

Grain (Corn) ethanol focus is narrow minded! One man's waste is another man's treasure. Waste sugar products like candies, pastries (Little Debbie's), fruits as well as breads, can yield greater returns than corn. Grocery stores throw away tons of waste in this area daily.

Cat Tails, a wet lands wonder plant, are a great source for starch & cleaning up the environment. This plant can produce up to 7,500 Gal. per acre of ethanol. Hear this interview with David Blume >>>>>

Ethanol can be made from anything that has a carbohydrate or sugar, this includes Sugar Beets, Milo, Corn, Wheat, Oats, Barley, Molasses or even the whole plant like Kudzu (A Plant infestation that is over taking much of the South).

Ethanol blends are increasingly used in South Africa, while Brazil, the world leader, produces four billion gallons of ethanol a year: all Brazilian fuel contains at least 24% ethanol, and much of it is 100% ethanol (engines can be designed to run on 100% ethanol).

After fermentation, the left over mash is a great source of protein for live stock. Your grains and corn are going into the formulas at about 7% protein and coming out at 30 to 33% PROTEIN. The sugar beet and stock beet is coming out at about 45% protein. It's better than the original grain and cattle can digest it easier, fattens up cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry at least 12 '/2 % faster than regular dried grains. And thus not losing potential Live Stock Feed!

Contrary to popular belief, ethanol is not responsible for rising feed prices. This is misinformation or somebody isn't using the opportunity to use the "mash left overs".

After distillation, the liquid remnants make a great fertilizer.

The Model T Ford was built to run on ethanol fuel.

Henry Ford designed the famed Model T Ford to run on alcohol -- he said it was "the fuel of the future". The oil companies thought otherwise, however -- but the oil crisis of the early 1970s gave ethanol fuel a new lease of life.

Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors all recommend ethanol fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

Sometimes misspelled as ethenol, Ethanol Fuel was created in 1895. The inventor of the internal combustion engine, four-stroke-cycle, Nikolaus Otto, said alcohol should be used as the fuel for the internal combustion engine. Gasoline was not available. Ethyl alcohol at 180-190 proof was the specified fuel. It was renewable: In the years 1900-1970, farmers throughout the United States used home-brewed Ethanol Fuel to power farm equipment. Remember ARGOL? For those who don't or weren't around yet, ARGOL was an alcohol fuel plant in Atchison, Kansas. Up until 1939-40 their alcohol could be found in hundreds of service stations. About this time producers of alcohol for vehicles shut down because they just couldn't compete with 10 cent-a-gallon gasoline.

It is a well know fact that after the armed forces cut off oil supply lines to Nazi Germany during World War 2, Hitler's army used ALCOHOL for their military war vehicles from that time on! To engage in the business of making Ethanol you must be granted a permit. We don't suggest for one minute that you don't obtain your permit. When you apply for your permit, ask also for a "variance", if you plan to make various proofs of alcohol. For instance, you are going to need to make 160 proof alcohol to run in the average car. For diesel equipment, you are going to want to run 140-150 proof. The home heating system needs 130 proof. Today it's becoming the fuel-alternative of choice for many reasons. It burns cleaner with an 80% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions, not to mention carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, benzene and particulate matter that causes respiratory damage, are greatly reduced. It is 10% less toxic than table salt. It virtually has no sulfur (Greatly Reduces Black Smoke).

Octane Rating of Ethanol averages at 106, gasoline averages at 80-86. Lower the rating, more likely the knocking.

Ethanol, with 35% oxygen, burns cooler by 40% compared to gasoline. If the heating value of ethyl alcohol were considered alone, it would appear to be a poor choice as motor fuel. However, other redeeming qualities such as "latent heat of vaporization" and anti-knock values make alcohol fuels superior, in some ways, to gasoline.

One drawback is that your car will need 15% more ethanol to equal the energy of gasoline. The redeeming value is that you could make ethanol for as little as 20 cents per gallon.

Ethanol can cut poisonous exhaust emissions and is better for the environment.

It is important to note that it does not take a special vehicle to run on "ethanol". All vehicles can use E10 with no modifications to the engine. E85 is for use in a flexible fuel vehicle, so some people confuse "ethanol" with the blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.

Not to mention cost savings, one could utilize solar technology, as well as other off the shelf technologies, nearly automated system and efficiency.
