Ethanol Production Demonstration

[ka9qlq]

Congrats on raising world food costs

[lambrettist2007]

Agra fuels such as ethanol have been labeled a Crime Against Humanity in a UN report. Ethanol is not green. The intensive, high energy and high water use farming methods to grow corn and sugar have a positive net gain in carbon emissions. Food producing land is being used to produce fuel for cars instead of food for our tables. Forests are being leveled to create fuel producing fields. Ethanol destroys engine components and is unsafe to use in aircraft and motorbikes / scooters.

[extrastype]

ethanol destroys engines, its been about for 60 years we dont use it because it is shit, rubber, plastic, fiberglass all melt, brass & copper (carb parts, like jets and floats) aluminum (carb and head), all erode away, it will run any engine . in to the breakers yard, i tried it it destroyed my engine as the oil seals melted, put an oil seal in a cup with ethanol in, the seal turns in to playdoh and wont go back in to shape,,,NASCAR engines are fine with it, no seals in them ..

[sandman300000]

My friend....(looks at paper)....JIM

[burleman]

At what proof is the still producing ethanol at and is it ready to be used in a vehicle or generator directly from the still?

[dildofagens]

all it is, is moonshine

[PetertheGreatest1]

has that thing melted down from the steam? How much temp can PVC take?

[europeandrifter]

if he is a friend.. how come you have to look at the paper to remember his name ?

[sok8888]

Did he said the source is beer? Add this to cost of the fuel to boil the beer, these ethanol will be more expensive than perfume.

[IronEagle19d]

@sok8888 you can make mash out of grass clippings. beer can be used because it already has been fermented. any plant can be fermented to make alcohol.

[rogersdodgerz]

As soon as people STOP giving consent, we can get this thing started. I don't need nannies or overlords or figureheads or slavery, do you?

[rogersdodgerz]

[MightyCarnac]

I'm interested in this. Where can I find more specifics? Did these guys publish any info on the rest of the story? Like what are they fermenting? how is it done? how much does it take? how much energy does the process use? does it save money or is it an expensive hobby?

[hall51573]

@vette0009 Plans are at slideshare + the plastic still.

[hall51573]

Plans are at slideshare + the plastic still.

[rogersdodgerz]

Forget permits, forget "government."  Grow a spine.

[Veikra]

@rogersdodgerz Your comment made my day :)

[rogersdodgerz]

Forget permits, forget "government." Grow a spine.

[thegreatkoua]

you have to use propane to boil water to make ethanol why don't just use the propane

[rogersdodgerz]

@thegreatkoua Gasification, materials like wood, hydrogen, methane, solar, wind, geothermal, community based & financed generation are options.

[Lordskeep]

Hi,

where can we get the plans to my this still? Thanks

[hall51573]

@Lordskeep Plans are at slideshare + the plastic still.

[hydralics423]

its cool how can i build one are can i get the plans

[hall51573]

@hydralics423 Plans are at slideshare + the plastic still.

[asimov13647]

He's an engineer and thinks there is a climate crisis?

[rogersdodgerz]

@asimov13647 there is a difference between a climate crisis & "global warming"

[blackheart452]

i will pay for that piece of intrument

[blkcola]

Engineers; always reinventing the wheel... Granny's old stainless steel pressure cooker is much cheaper than $150.

[centervilletn]

lol takes an engineer to make moonshine..

[jab0805]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[ALITL8]

Grow Hemp 4 Fuel!!!

[cdltpx]

I watched a movie FIELDS OF FUEL on netflicks watch instantly and the movie said basically the same thing that no one thing is going to solve the problem but we first need to cut back consumption second use everything. I liked the potential to make alcohol from crops that go un picked. Also I want to see biodiesel made from algee we alsoneed to get hybrid diesel machines in here we might get 30 gallons of fuel on our worst month usually just 20 gallons will do us per month we have light commute.

[rogersdodgerz]

@cdltpx increase consumption, stop being told what to do, increase productivity, responsibility, and allow innovation to flourish.  Stop believing the hype.

[cdltpx]

@rogersdodgerz I have fuel efficient cars I have interviewed people that have a pu truck they drive exclusively to work. Why do they do it frankly it is a sociatal norm. They could easily put their tool chest on trailers get a car with impressive economy and save so much fuel and money that they could pay their homes off decades earlier. I am for money savings why give money to people just to be something in the mind of another. Eventually they are not going to afford the v8 as a daily commuter.

[rogersdodgerz]

@cdltpx Interesting about societal norms. People generally will always do what is gives them the least resistance (work).. apparently its easier to avoid some perceived social situation.

[IronEagle19d]

@cdltpx they will pay more and suffer in the future while those who live wisely will thrive. it is likely that seeing one's neighbor make fuel from grass clippings when gas is over 4 dollars/gallon will also motivate them to change

[cdltpx]

@IronEagle19d Insane is what people are I had a old friend over that we lost contact with over the years wanted to borrow camper drove large v8 smoked but wants what I have. People don't calculate what things accumulate to cost them over time. I shopped for over 5 years b4 I located the 70 camper all that time I maintained my accounts to have the cash for the right deal. That is how you get ahead you have a goal and a means of meeting the goal when opportunity arrives. That or pay retail?

[rogersdodgerz]

@cdltpx Interesting, going along with the herd does not interest me.  However, thats what I see everyone doing, going along, to get along. I'm all for big assed trucks, but mostly for my own reasons. I'm trying a fuel efficient car this year. Next year, maybe a bike, maybe a tractor, maybe a semi. But being in a non-masculine vehicle it becomes immediately apparently what the mentality of the herd is.

[rogersdodgerz]

But thats the problem is it not? The voice of reason is very weak. The memory has become (is getting) shorter. The 30 second attention span/gratification complex needs to be satisfied. The herd cannot comprehend just how much of a herd we really are. We are grown in a cave & fed BS. Next big lie in the pipeline: windmills. The banker's phallus.

[rogersdodgerz]

@cdltpx I've never seen it.



[rogersdodgerz]

Respond to this video... 

[circusboy90210]

god bless you gentlemen, making alcohol has always been legal as long as it' s not for drinking.

[OrganicDrew]

ok regarding the whole permit thing, YOU DO NOT NEED A PERMIT IF ** you are not selling the alcohol using commercial instruments such as Federal Reserve Notes, checks or Credit .. and if you properly utilize your first amendment exemption. - possession of property can not be criminal without damages, all regulatory authority is either after damages or under the commerce clause. - that said happy brewing - sew George Gordonʻs website

[rogersdodgerz]

@OrganicDrew my understanding is that the ATF threw up their arms. Not that I care what they do or think. Fear is the enemy.

[paulusmctallus]

can ethanol be used for making bio diesel instead of methanol????

[heyerstandards]

@paulusmctallus : Good question. I know David Blume's book, "Alcohol Can Be A Gas" has a section on that, but I can't remember the conclusions about that. Sorry I couldn't answer the question, but hopefully I've pointed where to find it. :-)

[beefyuk1]

@heyerstandards

can you confirm this is a replication of the 'Charles 803' still please?

[heyerstandards]

@beefyuk1 I don't know enough about it to confirm. Sorry.

[rogersdodgerz]

@heyerstandards It compares ethyl to meth as a fuel, & also talks about Butinol fermentation. It also talks about converting a TDI (diesel) to standard fuel injection using Ethyl whilst adding a little biodiesel for lubrication.

[blkcola]

You'd enjoy this video series on BioMass Gasifiers: v=577mirKXK8I

[tirletbug]

Does anyone have parts list and plans for this?

[T3PRanch]

@tirletbug do a search for Charles 803

[deltaalpha21074]

Pops-- make one hell of alot of sense about cash Crop for Alabama; I agree---100% BEATS ..Hell yes...Best Alcohol E-85...

[youngsinfo]

Interesting - Where are the plans and do you have a bigger one than this one?

[ytertyu]

These guys are real deal

[i2aymond]

That is interesting, explain more.

[WoundedEgo]

Shouldn't you be using CPVC (which is what they use for hot water)?

I also would appreciate seeing the schematic. Thanks.

[deltaalpha21074]

Hey thanks these men are great; answered that big question with this..no need for Copper so yes I agree USE the Heavy guage CPVC ""high temp stuff """"

[hafer925]

If it is possible, I would like to get the plans to make one of these. Thanks

[DMMc59]

Where can I get build details for this still?

[2003Harleyguy]

Hello, that is a fantastic fuel still. If possible, could I get a PDF of the still emailed to me along with info for the permit?  I would appreciate it very much! Thanks, Bob

[TheAlfredo67]

it is grat ? let give the the petro back to you know ho

[TheAlfredo67]

could yous send me the plans on the PVC still

[davfritz]

@TheAlfredo67 PLEASE! Don't even think of useing pvc for drinking alcohol production!!!! The toxins produced are endocrine system destroyers amoung other things! This health issue alone could lead to government crackdown and restriction on freedom to make one's own alcohol.

[i2aymond]

I see. I see.

[bonoq1]

Excellent info, please send me the assembly drawings or something that would show how to get all the material together since I'm not quiet sure of where to place the marbles in the cooling pipe , I'm a guy that would like to have some home made ethanol for domestic purposes.

The work that you are doing here is outstanding and accesible to all the people considering the total cost of this process, congrats!

[BJMr666]

It is obvious that these assholes have spent too much "drinki'n squeezin's!"!

[Moo206]

hawluh

[bodybuildingsa]

yeh please send me the details on how to create this.

thanks

[EDDIEGARAGE]

hi guys would you have the drawings for this wonderfull ethanol still.

cheers.

ed

[babytaz2yo]

I woudl also LOVE the scematics to this still, I can get all the parts from Lowes

[infidile]

excellent video, how long does the beer take to ferment to a high enough alcohol content? is it feasible to use benzene to break apart the water-ethanol azeotrope allowing for a distillation of anhydrous (200 proof) ethanol? or is the small amount of water not an issue when used to run an engine? very interesting video!

[killacam44]

nice vid

[cryojim]

Andrea,

I have been limited by the size of my boiler. With a larger boiler I believe you could make over 1 gallon per hour and maybe a lot more. The cooling capacity of the seperator is quite high. A 50 gallon drum heated by wood is ideal.

Jim

[AndreaGanora]

Very nice informative video.Direct approach to the problem and most of all related to a project on a diy scale .

Thanks for posting the vid.

I'd really appreciate if you guys could give me any infos about the approx quantity of ethanol you're able to distill per our whit such a setup ( assuming to use corn ) Thanks again and keep up the good work

[chadd2748]

Hi Guy's, Great video and "DO" keep them coming!! I'm

highly interested in using Garbage as a source of fuel. I've also seen a machine that

turns waste into feed for animals and am interested in that too!! I believ these concepts can save many lives overseas and I

hope to do just that. any info you can give

on these topics,please do!! Thank you!!

[fyzo79]

"silver buck shot" thats a nice way to put it, this is a good video
