ALTERNATIVE FUEL discussion forum.

No Limits! Outside the box.

BTW, anyone know some information about making a simple, DIY steam engine or turbine? I got LOTS of natural wood and plant matter to burn, if I could make steam, and power a generator with that, I'll have all the hydrogen and electricity I need. I could even go 100% electric, because I'd make my own power.

Check out Green Power Science on how to build a steam engine including a Stirling (they show it doing solar, as well as burning stuff) They do some great instructional videos on YouTube.

Any comments on Shell's new Nitrogen added fuel? http://www.shell.us/home/content/us...assionate_experts/dir_passionate_experts.html

Thanks for the excellent links! Those Fresnel lenses are WAY awesome!

The stirling heat engine looks like a good solution. I'm researching more about that. It would be nice to burn all the fallen trees, and accumulated plant trash from the woods, and turn it into something useful.
