Is _that_ why they keep pounding on my door in the night? Honest, it's
just for recreational use and maybe to get me going to work.
I do know that it's requried to have a BATF permit to produce your own
alcohol fuel, if you ever happen to go that route. I've done a little
reading on that because not all biomass is oil based and I am a
microbiologist, so the various fermentations are interesting to me. The
butanol one's pretty nifty. Shame I'm not a chemical engineer on the
side.... That permit process is obviously to keep people from running a
shine still untaxed and also they don't let you run a still in your
living room.
You're supposed to have a little open space for the thing to blow up and
only kill you and not the Petersens next door.
I could see where they wouldn't want just anyone making BioDiesel. If
the world found out it was the secret to making people smarter and
better looking, who knows where it would all end. I'm seeing high speed
chases in a Hayden-chipped TDI Scirocco conversion running bottles of
BioDiesel from the revenuers and G-men. Might not out-run them on the
straightaways, but sure would leave them in the dust at the Shell station.
I'm still intrigued with that UNH oil algae/wastewater program that
Roger posted a link to. Not quite intrigued enough to do the hard
research and really boring reading of journal articles, but still
interested enough to dream. I have wondered if one of those research
professors is interested in taking on a Ph.D student.... Probably ought
not let someone like that hear my opinion of journal articles :)
