Just am curious as to how much fuel you can get from one gallons of fresh oil after processing.

A new technology allowing the making of biodiesel fuel without enviromental waste or bi-product concerns and that will cost nearly 50% less then current fuel prices has been developed. With a second stage development of limitless amounts of feedstock(vegetable oil) made from earths greatest resource of plant oil that can be regenerated easily and quickly, this new technology could easily replace petroleum based fuels both for automotive and home heating at a fraction of the cost and impact on the enviroment. Looking for an investor who does not care about the amounts of money he will make from his investment, but will do it for the betterment of mankind and his enviroment. Greed does not make a good business partner!
Some may not have understood what I am saying here… a new technology and a new source of feedstock. When I say vegetable oil, it doesn’t limit oil from vegetables but includes plant oil. My numbers are correct and am willing to discuss further detail to serious individual(s). I cannot through my technology across this format and not have all the work I have done fall into the hands of greedy whoremongers like Exoon/Mobil.

Many have stated my facts are incorrect. I am not talking about doing business as usual using the same technologies already in place in making biodiesel.
I thank many of you for your honest insights. I have questioned the effects of my technology on the global economy, how would a major shift change in the global market help or hurt the world economy? Would my technology produce more jobs then it would destroy? I am not in this to give this technology away… Investors obviously would need to see a return and there are many considerations such as my life. Too many of you are still thinking within the bubble you have educated yourself in, which is normal. I do have a technology that can produce biodiesel fuel at a fraction of the cost production of current facilities producing biodiesel today. I have technology introducing a new farm crop that would produce plant oil 15 times greater then soy plants and can be regenerated every 3 weeks on land the size of the Sonora Desert. Ask why Chryslers Diesel Electric Hybrid ESX3 never made it it the show room floor with it 72mpg rating? There is so much more folks…

We drive an 06 VW Jetta TDI an 99 Ford F250 w/Powerstroke diesel. We brew about 75% of the fuel we use from used restaurant oil. Americans collectively spend 0,000 a minute to buy foreign oil. It is great to reduce our personal petrodiesel consumption. Also, a diesel engine is app. 25-30% more effiecient than a gasoline engine..resulting in increased fuel economy.

Methanol is an ingredient in one process for making biodiesel from vegetable oil. I’m interested in producing methanol (or alternatively ethanol) myself rather than purchasing it.

I’m looking to purchase an Elsbett kit for my 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL diesel car. Looks like they’re located in Germany and their ordering system is tailored as so. Are there any distributors for their conversion kits here in the USA or must I order through them?

I need to create biodiesel fuel using methanol, ethanol, and possibly propanol. And i was wondering if I can go to a lab inside a University or somewhere else and use their equipment. If so where?

Put in a very small and efficient diesel or petrol engine, that just recharges the battery, and have the car run completely off an electric motor. This would require a more powerful electric motor, of say, 100hp equivalent, could be more tho if necessary or to suit the American market.

This would save a lot of weight by having a smaller engine and increase efficiency by having the small engine running constantly at its most efficient rpm, just providing enough power to meet the average power requirement of the car. (Running down the battery a bit under heavy driving and charging it up under light driving. The petrol/diesel engine could be as small as say 50hp but much more power would be available if needed.

Put it in a very aerodyamic car like a Prius. Make it a plug in hybrid too so you can charge it at home as well. Could make it possible to run off E85 or biodiesel as well, but wouldnt be essential.

This would surely be much more efficient than even something like a diesel smartcar, which gets 88 (imperial) mpg combined, without the drawbacks on size and power. And we have hybrids, we have electric cars and we have cars that run on e85/biodiesel already so its not like the technology isnt available.
Johnnie - Electric motors are very efficient actually - typically around 90% compared to 40% for diesel and 25% for petrol. The battery could be a similar weight to the one in the Prius and that isnt too heavy.
James - how would it be more expensive than a Prius, they have a large battery and petrol engine too.
Vicky - there are. For example the Tesla roadster has an electric motor equivalent to around 240bhp, and a large enough battery to power it for 250 miles per charge.
Richard - the Prius is actually very spacious inside as it only has a small engine which doesnt take up as much space. A small generator would take up even less space. I’d be happy to travel across America in a Prius (although it’d be a lot easier to fly in reality).
Also richard, good aerodyamics would improve the efficiency, making the car faster, use less fuel, and probably quieter at high speed.
Lazyeddie - Americans buy the Prius so this would cater to the same market.
trainboy - i dont see how this would be much heavier than a Prius.
snapdrag - until the range of electric vehicles increases, along with places to charge them, and the time it takes to charge them, they will only really be practical as a second car for the city. By having a secondary fuel source you remove these drawbacks and have a car thats practical for a lot more people.
Wolf - The Chevy Volt looks like a good design however i cant understand why it needed a 1.4L 71hp engine just to power the generator. Surely something around a third of the size would have been more efficient, less expensive, lighter and smaller.

Also, why is it only a 4 seater?? Surely a 5th seat would boost sales a lot at virtually no extra cost? And i cant see why one wouldn’t fit, its the same size as a BMW 3-series.
John - how much power does a car of the Volt’s size need to sustain an average speed of 70mph on the freeway.

I’ve driven a car which only had 54bhp at 70mph and it was doing around 3500rpm. Considering cars only produce their peak power at almost the maximum rpm, it must have been using less than 54bhp, ill take a guess at 30bhp. Yes, it was a smaller a car, but i doubt the Volt needs more than double the power to cruise at the same speed.
John - e85 is still better than gasoline for the environment. Something like 35% less co2 i think i read.
And suppose E100 was used to produce E100. Out of every 5 gallons produced, 4 would be used to make it, and 1 would be sold. But it would still be carbon neutral.
Obviously there isnt enough space in the world to produce enough for all our cars, and still have enough space for all our food. But as long as its use is kept to a small percentage of the market, its still good for the environment.
Also John, according to wolf below, you only need 20hp
edub - no you wouldnt be better off having the engine power the car. Why do you think a Prius gets better mileage than a Yaris for example, despite the Yaris being lighter.
The engine acting as a generator would be able to operate at a constant optimum efficiency eg. 1800rpm, powering the car it would not.
Nata - You gain efficiency as a smaller, more efficient engine can be used, which is able to operate at a constant maximum efficiency.

It will supposedly cost ,000.

The prius isn’t that small. In the UK, where I live, its slightly above average size, and in Japan theres loads of cars much smaller, that seat 5.

The prius can go 100 mph, its top speed is 106. You’d lose your licence if you went 100 anyway.

The prius gets less MPG than an M3 when its being thrashed round a track. No one drives like that on the road, and irs not the same as cruising at 70mph.

A large percentage of the Prius’ sales have been in the US. The Prius is the biggest selling hybrid worldwide.

Why would it need to be widened to seat 5? I’ve been in much narrower cars that seat 5.
