Looks like this could be worth some investment...

June 4, 2009 will be remembered as the dawn of the organic fuel era...

The final production model of the revolutionary MicroFueler was unveiled to the world by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Sacramento, CA. (See the official press release and the Governor's comments.) The enhanced MicroFueler builds upon the original MicroFueler announced in New York in March of 2008. Enhancements include substantial reductions in size (60%) and weight (80%), and 24x7 user accessible monitoring via the Internet. The MicroFueler now "phones home" whenever it needs attention for service by the dealer or ready-to-report status when desired by the owner. The introduction of the worldwide E-Fuel Global Network makes all this possible and more. And now the MicroFueler supports a variety of organic fuel (waste) as feedstock to produce the E-Fuel100 ethanol. Substances rich in sugar, fermentable material, alcohol or even algae may be suitable for ethanol conversion. Under the new E-Fuel model, consumers will simply pay for the ethanol they pump and have no concern for obtaining and replenishing the organic fuel (waste) which is processed into ethanol. Servicing dealers will respond to status messages from the MicroFueler and replenish the organic fuel as need to insure constant availability of E-Fuel100 ethanol at the pump.

E-Fuel MicroFueler Turns Sugar, Stale Beer Into Gas For Your Ride









The dream of a home ethanol pump has been realized, says the New York Times, thanks to inventor named Floyd S. Butterfield. One of the world's only celebrated non-hillbilly still-makers, Butterfield has invented the $10,000 E-Fuel 100 MicroFueler, a gadget that combines heaps of sugar and a sprinkling of yeast to ferment an alcoholic brew which it then distills into ethanol. The notion is that, as long as the price of sugar stays relatively low, it could cost about $1 per gallon to make the fuel. It's even cheaper when you put un-drunk stale beer in the system: Since the fermentation is done, all it takes is the electricity to distill the beer into scotch whiskey fuel for your car.
Carbon haters would be happy that a gallon of the MicroFueler's ethanol is supposed to produce just 12.5% of the carbon from a gallon of normal gasoline. Butterfield is also someone who people should listen to: In 1982 he won an award from the state of California for "best design of an ethanol still" says the Times. (I had NO idea I could enter my still in a competition!)
Naysayers predict that quality control would be a problem (and anyone who's ever homebrewed beer can probably attest to the finicky nature of the process. Others charge that since sugar costs 20-cents per pound, and you need 10 to 14 pounds to make a gallon of ethanol, well, there goes your cost savings. But Butterfield and his Silicon Valley finance whiz/business partner Thomas J. Quinn swears you can buy "inedible sugar" from South of the Border for 2 to 3 cents per pound.
There's also a small matter of 100% ethanol being illegal as an automotive fuel, but Quinn says that, too, will be resolved.



LOOKS LIKE SHAQUEILLE O'NEIL IS FULLY INVESTED IN THIS!!


But wait...making booze?? hmmm...interesting..

[contract.dude]

not something i want to do in my back yard... im not thinking my home insurance would cover the results of a mistake i could make...

I bought a book, probably 15 years ago, called "The Lore of Still Building" Great little read and at the end tells you how to produce your own gas. Hope this device is not prone to the kind of catastrophic failure a still is.
