Fuel Emissions - Gas, Ethanol, E85, Kerosene

Larry, Ag in the Classroom Coordinator for McHenry County Farm Bureau shows us differences in fuel emissions, first looking at a 90% gasoline / 10% ethanol, then E85 - 15% gasoline / 85% ethanol, then 2 cycle fuel - a gasoline/oil mixture, lastly kerosene, which is used for some airplanes. After viewing the burning of just one chemistry stick, you can see that ethanol burns much cleaner than gas.

This experiment is nonsense as the fuels each require differing amounts of oxygen relative to their density, not only are the fuels burning in a reduced atmosphere inside a closed jar, the less dense ethanol is more suited to being burned off a chemistry stick, do the experiment again making sure each fuel is atomised for optimum combustion, also take into account the usable energy released versus emissions

I like e85 for the extra power you can make with it.. turn up the boost !

anyone who believes that it takes more energy to make ethanol than it produces when it is simply brewed out of any fermentable stock right here at home but it doesnt take much energy to extract raw oil out of the ground in the middle east , protect it with men shipped there to die for their country on diesel ships , ship it to the us to refine it just proves the oil companies have more funds for marketing , think.....

I have a kerosene heater in my home and it burns nice and clean. Also I dont see that black smoke coming out of my exhaust pipes so I think there's more to this than placing a jar over a burning stick.

Thx...nice vid ;-)

CAN I FILL UP MY TANK WITH E85 I HAVE A 98 TOYOTA 1.8 ? GOOD VIEDO SIR

Ethanol adds water to your tank. Just one step closer to hydrogen vehicles. WOOT!

Good demo.

i thought its the drink burn :D

[tralph01ralph]

just because the smoke from it is dark doesnt mean that its the most hazardous to the environment, what is the level of formaldahyde trapped in the jar from the ethanol i wonder

[jackiechan511]

Should have tried with diesel
