Sorry was unable to post original message (think i need more time up)
I wish to use waste as fuel as i already have the column etc. And limited success
looks suspiciously like that japanese guys fractionator.
just like back to the future! stuffs it full of whatever plastic he can find, heats it up and out comes fuel
the concept is simple, but its still economically unviable. is still cheaper to dig it out of the ground than recycle all those millions of tonnes of plastic bags bottles and wrappers lying in heaps everywhere, messing the place up, creating more filth for future generations too clean up and wonder what was wrong with this generation..
all hydrocarbons. crack em down to basics, stick em back into octanes, cetanes, heptanes... add a bit of hydrogen here, remove some carbon there as necessary.
then you can say your fuel is fully synthetic as well as your oil
good for the 3rd world, good for the home hobbyist. no good for fat cat managerial types on 4mil a year with a 20mil mortgage and 3 children at the most exclusive of private schools.
as a smoker, i was happy to finally hear a report saying "studies have concluded that air pollution is the leading cause of lung cancer". they still wont remove the 80% government excise on these $18 packs of ciggies but.
1. id rather be locked in a sealed room with a pack of cigarettes smouldering away, than be in a sealed room with $18 worth of petrol or diesel smouldering away.
2. on a moto, you pull over or overtake when you come up behind a diesel lugging up a hill. that stuff is TOXIC. if these do gooder greenies had anything better to do than stop us backburning in winter, they would impose some regulation that diesel injectors must be serviced before every rego renewal... im sick of following lil daihatsu trucks where the rear end is obscured in black soot.
3. its really sorta nice following a biodiesel up a hill
diesels where intended for running on peanut oil and or crude oil. greenies again. cant use crude, too much sulfur. cant use peanuts, some people are allergic.
dont get me started on the byproducts of unleaded fuel when the exhaust is cold and the cat hasnt started working yet... we all know that smell.
