Alternative Gasoline Solutions And An Unfortunate Characteristic Of Human Nature

Each and every one of us are seeking to survive.No matter what else we are doing that is one thing we have in common.It is a law of the universe though, the thing which is beneficial for the duck hunter is not so darn good for the duck!Therefore we have conflict, and because of this we have greed.Still I have not gotten to my main point.A mixed blessing for all humanity is that man is basically good. No matter how he kills that duck or how he cooks and eats it, he is still at his core good!And when a fellow member of the human race does something against another then he will wear it around with him like a badly tailored suit of clothes.And if an individual who has done some misdeed thinks that you are looking at the bad suit he has on but he is not certain… that is hell on Earth! And from this you get bad reactions, nastiness, political campaigns and wars.Freud talked about “transference”, by which he meant that Joe has animosity towards mother but transfers those feelings to his poor wife because he can boss her around. The transference is from Joe’s mother to Joe’s wife. Freud’s observation was too limited.When I say “limited” I mean that there are other aspects that Freud missed.For instance… if Bob is stealing cookies from the cookie jar and you look at Joe the wrong way Joe will accuse YOU of something similar to stealing those cookies! It is quite crazy but is one of the mechanisms that make the world what it is.So when you observe someone saying something bad about another realize that even if it is true what they are saying, there are probably other things going on.And this holds even truer when there is money involved. And when we are talking billions of dollars…you are liable to observe some pretty nasty words spoken and actions taken.And what in God’s name does this have to do with alternative gas solutions?? EVERYTHING!When an individual discovers the truth about the possibility of converting the fossil fuel engine into a water powered hydrogen engine then they get targetted as being a fiend, running a scam, hurting others.But the real scam is this…1. The average automobile gets 40% less fuel efficiency than 100 years ago!The average car uses only 20% of the fuel that you put into it and wastes the rest!THAT is what I call a SCAM! A greedy, corrupt, evil scam.Naturally then, when a person dares to offer the people the information that will free them from that scam and offers them an alternative then they will be hit hard by the oil companies. FIRST because the oil companies stand to lose billions of dollars and SECOND because regardless how evil that the greedy bastards at the top of the food chain in the oil industry are, they are still basically decent and they will attempt to prove it by any evil means that they need to use.So understand that when you see their convulsions.But don’t go into agreement with their slander.You can switch your automobile engine to hydrogen, save a lot of cash, contribute to cleaning the environment and help your car run better!Do it today!

Is Ethanol The Alternative Fuel?

Mohan Potukuchi


Ethanol (commonly called "Alcohol") has assumed a very important place in the worlds economy. It is a vital raw material for a number of chemicals. It has been a major source of revenue by way of excise duty for the Governments.

Industrial alcohol produced from sugarcane molasses has a significant role to play in the world's economy. Alcohol is a by-product of sugar industry which is linked to agriculture. Sugarcane crop is a renewable source of energy. Therefore alcohol produced from molasses deserves a preferential place as a substitute feed stock for chemicals industry to bridge the gap in any countrys energy needs for increasing requirement for potable purpose. Sugarcane can also be directly used to produce ethanol.

Alcohol Based Chemicals

Ethyl Alcohol is an important feed stock for the manufacture of chemicals. These chemicals are Acetic Acid, Acetone, Butanol, Butadiene, Acetic Anhydride, Vinyl acetate, styrene, MEG PVC etc. Synthetic rubber industry also requires large quantity Of Alcohol. The main product INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL is used in the manufacturing of the following Alcohol based chemicals, the uses of which are also given below.

a) Acetaldehyde : Can be used for industrial use as Chemicals derivatives Pharmaceutical applications and synthetic resins and for manufacture of Acetic Acid.

b) Acetic Acid : Used in Pharmaceuticals applications, Textiles, Dyestuffs, Ethyl Acetate, and is the basic chemical for Alcohol based chemicals via Acetaldehyde route...

c) Acetic Anhydride : Used in Bulk Drug manufacturing

d) Ethyl Acetate : Used in manufacturing of Paints, Dyestuffs and Pharmaceuticals .

e) Substitute to : Used in manufacture of HDPE, LDPE etc. and Chemicals other Petroleum based petroleum based chemicals such as Ethylene Glycol.

Potable Alcohol

Manufacture of alcoholic beverages from alcohol is also an attractive diversification. There is large demand for alcoholic beverages i.e. Brandy, Whisky, Rum, gin , Vodka and Wine. The need for alcohol for potable purpose is as high as the alcohol being used for industrial purposes.

Alcohol as fuel/Ethanol Blended petrol

The trend in the world (particularly Brazil and USA) is towards the use of alcohol as an alternative fuel. During World war II, alcohol in the form of power alcohol was used for blending with petrol in the proportion of 80% petrol and 20% power alcohol. Brazil has developed a technology which has made possible large scale substitution of petroleum derived fuel. Now Anhydrous Alcohol is exclusive fuel for automobiles. Alcohol powered vehicles have taken the first position in Brazil & accounting for 80% of overall sales of about 500,000 alcohol powered vehicles every year.

Anhydrous Alcohol (99.5% v/v) is being used as fuel, by mixing it with Petrol. The blend of Anhydrous Alcohol and petrol is called Gasohol. In Brazil 4 million Vehicles are running on Gasohol. The content of alcohol in Gasohol varies from 10% to 85%. Alcohol works as Oxygenate in petrol combustion and superior to other oxygenate MTBE and ETBE. Alcohol reduces CO (Carbon Monoxide) emission and cause less pollution compared to petrol.

It can be seen that demand for alcohol will be ever increasing & there would not be any problem in marketing alcohol (either for Industrial or for potable purpose ) produced by distilleries.

Increase Fuel Economy

Due to frequent increase of fuel price in the world market, increasing vehicle gas mileage is one the major targets of vehicle drivers today and for the coming years. There are a number of information available on the Internet that give ways on how to enhance gas economy. Choosing a fuel-efficient car or sport utility vehicle, keeping tires well inflated, using the right octane level for the vehicle, changing the oil on a specific time and lessening excess weight are just some of the various convenient and easy ways to gain improved fuel mileage.
However vehicle owners, more often than not, don’t realize that there are performance products available on many auto parts centers that are planned and manufactured to boost gas economy. By improving your diesel performance and power qualities, you can significantly enhance the fuel efficiency of your car. Diesel emissions and keeps oil cleaner longer, boosting power and performance and also prolonging the life of the engine! Here are some diesel performance products that can provide improved gas mileage: Air Intake Systems – Air filters as well as air intakes can enhance gas consumption by bringing sufficient amount of air into the internal-combustion engine. The dirt particles can be trapped inside the p assages and then eventually create obstruction, resulting to great airflow limit. And when this occurs, only a lesser amount of oxygen is available for ignition with fuel, thus resulting to poor performance.
However with the use of air filters, no more dirt that can stop the oxygen from going to the engine, thus producing better combustion. And this can result to improved gas mileage, and it can extend the longevity of your engine. On the other hand, the air intake kits are made to change the stock engine’s filter and air box. The kit can maximize air flow and allows the engine to breathe easier, thus producing more torque and horsepower. There are lots of brands of air intakes on the market today that give the same purpose which is to maximize air flow going to the engine for efficient fuel combustion. In addition, air intake products are available in different designs and configurations, and are constructed using rubber, metal, silicone and other composite materials. Exhaust Systems – If you think that exhaust kits can’t enhance fuel mileage, think again. Normally, stock exhausts with narrow pipes and stiff bends restrict the flow of gases coming out from the engine which lead to choking the engine. If this is the case, your vehicle will have poor combustion thus declining its performance and will have inefficient fuel utilization. However with use of after market exhaust systems, you can have a free flowing system where burnt gases from the engine will flow and quickly come out in the tailpipe, leaving no barriers to the passage. Proper flow of burnt gas promotes superb combustion which can lead to improved gas economy. Not to mention the intense torque and horsepower that your auto can have, making towing, hauling and climbing almost effortless. Several brands and models of exhaust kits are being offered today. Depending on the configuration of the system, an exhaust product may comprise of a cylinder head, exhaust manifold, turbocharger, catalytic converter and a free flowing muffler. Electronic Tuning Products – Re-programming your vehicle’s computer to optimize its performance based on your particular arrangements and mode of driving is also another method of obtaining improved gas mileage. As we all know that most stock vehicles are only tuned to accommodate average drivers in a wide array of conditions. So, if you want to manipulate your vehicle stock configurations to match your preference and driving needs, program tuners and electronic controllers are powerful solutions specifically for computer-controlled vehicles. Also, there are performance chips that are planned for maximum power and to give better fuel mileage than the stock tuning. Keep in mind that the mentioned auto parts above may enhance your gas economy. But still, the best practice is to run your auto more efficiently and keep it tuned accurately to save fuel on your everyday travel.
