Debut Installation of the E-Fuel MicroFueler at the Home of Chris Ursitti, CEO of GreenHouse

The MicroFueler is a portable micro-refinery system that will transform refueling by creating the first at-home self-service pump. Using state-of-the-art semiconductor technology, the appliance-sized MicroFueler units are pump-stations and ethanol distillers requiring only three kilowatts of electricity to produce one gallon of E-Fuel100 which in turn generates up to 23 kilowatts of energy. E-Fuel100 is made up of 100% ethanol biofuel and is safe for all vehicles made after 1991.

I believe the homeowner, Chris Ursitti, is also an executive of he company that developed this and related products, GreenHouse. You can Google it for more info.

If your saab is not made for ethanol that is.. 

[taztaz79]

@BarefootArizona If your Saab is not made to go on ethanol it would damage your motor. You could mix it in the gasoline at a low percentage though. 5-10% maybe.. you need to look that up :) .. Or you buy a ethanol/gasoline car (bifuel) then you can run on E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline mixture)..

Can hemp oil be used to create ethonal? I'm really anxious to start growing hemp here in Arizona(along with raising Ostriches), once it becomes legal.

Man, I'm getting excited, but I sure hope someone can tell me if this has drawbacks. Any info would be grately appreciated. If this is for real, then I would gladly work for this company and promote ethanol to everybody I meet.

Please! Someone enlighten me!

I'm confused as to why this is not more popular. Can someone help me out with this? Is this for real? Even if I have to make my own sugar, it would be worth it.

This stuff is higher octane than regular fuel? Would it be bad to put in my 2003 Saab 9-3?

@alextheromanian technically, it's illegal to have someone pay you for the ethanol you produce at your house.

I'd love to see an independent evaluation of this system, especially the economics. Does anybody know what they're distilling? My understanding is that it takes about 15 pounds of sugar to make a gallon of ethanol. Bulk raw sugar wholesales for around $0.30 so 15 pounds would cost $0.30 x 15 = $4.50. If they're delivering the fermentables plus maintaining a system that yeilds $2/gallon ethanol that's a remarkable acheivement. Almost unbelievable. As I said I'd love independent verification.

fake ass smiles throughout this whole vid, fckn corny....

[alextheromanian]

so...you pay 10.000 for this thing...and then 2 dollars for gas?what if my friend wants to come over and fill up and give me 2$ a gal....and i go through the tank faster...do i need to pay more to have them come over and refill my generator with garbage?
