Does anyone know anything about this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2265860.stm 'Cars could soon be running on an environmentally-friendly fuel - created by a man using a diesel, bean oil and water in his kitchen. Industrial chemist Paul Day, from Sittingbourne, Kent, blended the ingredients in an attempt to find a way of cutting harmful emissions in fuel. His creation came about after he read an article which said that if water could be incorporated into fuel it could reduce pollution This is because it burns more efficiently and therefore creates fewer toxic by-products such as nitrous oxide. Mr Day said: "The big problem is that oil and water don't mix, so the fuels are not stable for more than a few weeks. "I couldn't get it out of my mind. So eventually I got a bottle of fuel and a bottle of water and mixed the two. "To stabilise it I used a pre-synthesised additive that I had in my garage which is derived from castor beans." He then blended the solution to form a milky-white solution ANyone know what the emulsifying agent is?

This is because the water in the atmosphere is drawen into the combustion chamber and is turned to steam which expands and helps to move the piston. I would think Fairy Liquid would help to create a coloidal suspension Robin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 51 | From: Loanhead, Scotland | Registered: 26 August 2001 Fatmobile Member posted 19 September 02 10:48 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- deeper tha n that I was told that the pressure and heat turns water into H and O. Which burns with the fuel. Hydrogen burns very well in the presence of carbon and could help keep the cylinders clean. Vegetable oil does hold some water, it doesn't all go to the bottom. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 186 | From: Iowa | Registered: 09 April 2001 All times are USA EST Printable Email a Friend PopIt!
