OK -- enlarge on that one "please"??

Let's see -- I have all the materials at hand to set up four small Chinese
gasifiers -- one day.

I have sugar cane in the fields -- cane crusher -- and ran experiments --
hand on -- in regards to making "ethanol" a few years back -- and man --
that is just to labor intensive -- that is well oiled but parked now to.

I then accumulated all the material to make up a small (500 liter) fast bio
methane generator -- that will utilize the cane crusher again (raw cane
juice a bio digester food) -- but not time for it right now.

(However -- raw cane juice as pig food supplement is highly tempting right
now!!)

I also have a fully functional veggie oil (well coconut or cohune nut oil)
set up -- ran it steady for exporting cold pressed coconut oil -- did the
experiment with cohune nut oil (to labor expensive) -- coconut oil market
crashed -- it is all sitting there well oiled.

There are other items -- to numerous to mention.

But what is keeping me so very busy and "fed" is selling derated diesel
systems -- and now some with DC PM alternators -- inverters -- batteries --
and guess what -- all the "brains" are telling me it can't be done and is a
con job!!

Oh -- I also have invested heavily in windmills -- which are sitting there
like ducks lined up all well oiled ---

Wind systems will not be replacing derated diesels until diesel fuel goes
over $20 a gallon at least!!

Tried solar systems -- but the price has jumped from (in China!!) $2 a watt
to $6.50 !!

Just a small part of the interest on one of those system will get you the
same power from diesel in a derated setup.

Again -- until diesel goes up over $20 a gallon -- 

Course -- then I will get the well oiled bio-digester up and running -- the
chinese gasifiers -- 

Oops -- at $20 a gallon diesel -- it is then much easier to just make
cohune nut oil -- and run that in the derated systems as diesel replacement
fuel.

That is in my selling cohune nut bi-diesel to others -- and putting food on
my table in a respectable manner.

In these mean times -- well -- we climb mountains -- 

Why??

Just because they be there -- waiting to be climbed!!

Hope I'm not boring all you folks??

So AJH -- this mountain you wish to  climb --

"biogas fermentation followed by pyrolysis"

Give us the specs -- eh??

"It's the experiments that's fun, the maths is what decides which
experiments are worth trying"

"Science is the knowledge that's gained from both"

"AJH"

Gongo math --- works best!!
