I have a friend that converted a suburban into running on biodiesel, but I want something smaller. Does anyone have any experience with converting a car? Which kind of car would work best?

Is it possible to run a home furnace on Vegetable oil or Biodiesel?

Anonymous asked:


Oil hit $100/barrel today, my oil bill was outrageous (I live in the Northeast) before the price was this high. Since home heating oil is essentially diesel, and you can run Biodiesel/refined vegetable oil in a diesel powered automobile with virtually no modifications. Would it be possible to heat your home with these?

Brandon M asked:


Can I simply buy vegetable oil to make biodiesel? Is it possible to pump WVO and filter it to make biodiesel? Would it simply be cheaper to to buy it from a producer and what would be current average price for that right now?

How can we free America from Oil dependence?

The Dragonslayer asked:


It seems as though America depends a lot on the middle east and other foreign sources for oil. Which alternative energy solutions would provide viable sources of fuel for our future? Wind / Solar / Hydro / combination? Why can’t we figure out better ways to travel than using gasoline? This is America - let’s brainstorm… freedom is inherently dependent on independence. Meaning - less things from foreign sources, more fuels from local sources…

How do I decrease the viscosity of biodiesel?

Zeuski asked:


I need to decrease the viscosity of B-99.9 biodiesel with common alcohols/surfactants. I’ve tried isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and it works well. Everything else, however has too high of a water content to mix with the fuel.

Why do many feminists say that men are not needed, worthless, unnecessary, and contribute nothing to society?

LycraSpandex asked:


Many women say men are irrelevant and not needed.

One feminist misandrist said “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”

Since many feminists say that men are superfluous to women’s needs, then explain why men have been responsible for human’s greatest inventions?

Inventions by men:

Cars
Airplanes
Computers
Internet
Ships/Boats
Highways
Bridges
Homes/Apartments
Skyscrapers
Space Flight
Satellites
Western Philosophy
Astronomy
Physics
Cures and treatments to innumerable diseases
Environmentalist inventions (hybrid technology, alternate fuel sources, solar power, hydro-electric power, etc.)
Arts (the world’s greatest artists throughout history have been men, the world’s greatest musicians and composers, directors, cinemetographers, actors, and writers)
Sports
Fertilization of the ovary

And I’m sure many women here either find use or partake in most of men’s creations listed above.

So feminists, why are men useless and superfluous again?
Nice try, but civilization itself is a creation by both men and women, not solely women.

Agriculture, on the otherhand was also started by men. The majority of farmers throughout the world today are men.
ka1227: True, the arts, physics, philosophy, and astronomy are not “inventions.” I realize that. I was more or less adding them because these are fields where men have overwhelmingly contributed the most. However, you can say that philosophy, astronomy, and physics were STARTED by men (but not invented). The premise is still the same (of men creating it).
Also, KA1227, “fertilization of the ovary” may not be an invention, but it IS a contribution from men that is necessary to keep the human species and civilization going. Which still follows the same premise of this question — are men really worthless and unnecessary?
You seem angry that I brought this (relevant) issue up.
And my mistake, it should say “fertilization of the egg.”

Im designing a piece of artwork.and I need an alternative/environmentally friendly fuel?

Izzy asked:


I need an environmentally friendly fuel source that can be incorporated into a drawing.

But the problem is…….it has to be able to be altered into the shape of a capital ‘G’.

Also, I’ve already used wind, hydro, geothermal, solar, and biomass energies. So it can’t be one of those.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEE
help!!

Thank you all soooo much if you will!

John V asked:


Please no one will believe that simplicity will still work. This device works and is affordable to all . It works in the oil industry and all the way to the home owner. The pay back is in months not years.
