	Alcohol fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alcohol has been used as a fuel in other points in history but fossil fuels have become the dominant energy resource for the modern world.
		Alcohol fuels are usually of biological rather than petroleum sources.
		Ethanol is already being used extensively as a fuel additive, but the use of ethanol fuel alone or as part of a mix with gasoline is increasing.

	Ethanol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethanol for use in alcoholic beverages, and the vast majority of ethanol for use as fuel, is produced by fermentation: when certain species of yeast (most importantly, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) metabolize sugar in the absence of oxygen, they produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.
		Most alcoholic beverages can be broadly classified as fermented beverages, beverages made by the action of yeast on sugary foodstuffs, or as distilled beverages, beverages whose preparation involves concentrating the ethanol in fermented beverages by distillation.
		Alcoholic drinks have a large variety of tastes because various flavor compounds are dissolved during brewing.

	Alcohol fuel - Homedistiller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Proposals to use alcohol as a fuel are generally concerned with its use in transportation, chiefly as a total or partial replacement for gasoline in cars and other road vehicles.
		Fuel alcohols can be produced from a variety of crops, such as sugarcane, sugar beets, maize, barley, potatoes, cassava, sunflower, eucalyptus, etc. Two countries have developed significant bio-alcohol programmes: Brazil (ethanol from sugarcane) and Russia (methanol from eucalyptus).
		The use of alcohol as fuel is advocated with various arguments, mainly relating to its beneficial effects on the local and global environment, its independence from foreign oil, and its economic advantages.

	The Fuel of the Future
		Opponents have seen ethyl alcohol fuel as a scheme for robbing taxpayers to enrich farmers, as turning food for the poor into fuel for the rich, as compounding soil erosion problems, and as a marginally useful enhancement or replacement fuel for a transportation system that is poorly designed in the first place.
		However, since the original studies on fuel alcohol are missing from the archives, and it is difficult to fathom the reason for their narrow frame of reference.97 One reasonable explanation is that Kettering, Boyd and Midgley were preoccupied with the long-term replacement of petroleum.
		Alcohol fuels as anti-knock blending agents were well known long before tetraethyl lead was discovered in 1921, and their technical qualities had been well characterized by scientists in the US and in Europe by 1925.

	Mother Earth Alcohol Fuel: Chapter 1 - Introduction
		Our definition of alcohol fuel is a nearly 100 percent alcohol with a tad of water in it -- not a blend of alcohol with gasoline.
		Second, alcohol is a good fuel, superior to gasoline in many ways: It can give extra power to certain engines, it is almost non-polluting compared to gasoline, it is safe and easy to handle.
		But alcohol of 167 proof (16.5% water) is as good a fuel as 200-proof (100%) alcohol and better than gasohol.

	Alcohol Fuel Fact Sheet
		Alcohol fuels are made from renewable resources like locally grown crops and even waste products such as waste paper or grass and tree trimmings.
		was the fuel preferred by Henry Ford back in the early days of the Model T. "Flexible fuel" alcohol vehicles have an on-board fuel sensor that senses the percentage of alcohol present in the fuel mixture and automatically adjusts the engine.
		Alcohol fueled vehicles are available for the same price as gasoline vehicles.

	Alcohol Fuel
		Alcohol is one of the oldest forms of biomass technology.
		Alcohol is a less vigorous fuel than gasoline and in cold climates starting an alcohol fueled vehicle can be challenging.
		The only drawback to using this fuel mixture is its tendency to dissolve all of the junk and corrosion in the fuel tank and dissolve it into the fuel which then clogs up the fuel filters.

	CanadianDriver: Auto Tech - Alcohol as fuel
		Even though alcohol is manufactured from a renewable resource, and it is fairly simple to manufacture (just ask a moonshiner!), the cost of producing a litre of alcohol is more than the cost of producing a litre of gasoline.
		This means that the alcohol in the fuel breaks down as it is being burned to produce extra oxygen.
		Ethyl alcohol can be used by itself as a fuel but when it is marketed as a mix with gasoline it is limited to 10% by volume.

	Mother Earth Alcohol Fuel: Alcohol as an Engine Fuel
		Actually, when referring to alcohol fuels, the word "octane" does not apply, since octane (in its pure form) is merely the hydrocarbon in gasoline which is assigned the numerical value of 100 for fuel-rating purposes.
		But since alcohol undergoes different changes as it's vaporized and compressed in an engine, the outright heating value of the ethanol isn't as important when it's used as a motor fuel.
		Since alcohol must absorb roughly 2-1/2 times the amount of heat that gasoline does, and the heat naturally is taken from the engine block, the engine should operate at a much lower temperature...

	International Fuel Names
		Note: With the exception of Coleman fuel, all commonly available fuels from petrol stations and supermarkets are blended mixtures that vary in composition depending on the brand, the country and even the time of year (winter/summer).
		The fuel used for stoves (small heating systems inside living rooms) has a bluewish colour (for tax reasons), is called "kerosene" and could be bought in supermarkets.
		The fuel used in turbine engine airplanes (Jet-A fuel) is called "kerosene" too but is transparent and, except for some additives, is probably very similar to the kerosene for heating purpose.

		Ethanol (sometimes called grain alcohol) is generally made in the United States from corn (a grain).
		Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) are specially designed vehicles that can operate on alcohol, gasoline or any combination of the two.
		The alcohols used in FFVs are E85 (85 percent ethanol with 15 percent gasoline, like in the Ford Taurus pictured on the right) or M85 (85 percent methanol and 15 percent gasoline).

		Currently, alcohol is being used as transportation fuel eitherin its pure form or blended with gasoline.
		Alcohol functions as an oxygenate, a gasoline additive used to raise octane rating and lower hazardous emissions.

	Make your own Fuel
		Alcohol is a remarkable substance: it gives us pleasure, can be used as medicine, and has many commercial uses, including automotive and aviation fuel.
		What really interested me about this was that grain alcohol (ethanol) is a renewable fuel, and also, it is pretty much pollution free, since the by-products of combustion are only water and CO2.
		Alcohol, on the other hand, can give you the same miles per tank of fuel, with the same or better acceration.

		Second, the alcohol must be separated from the remaining liquids and solids, usually this happens using distillation.
		The exception to distilation is butyl alcohol, it can just drain it off and be separated with a salt catalyst, (so you don't have to get a licence to operate an alcohol still).
		Alcohol has been around a long time, both as a drug and as a fuel.

		In other words, proving that 200-proof (100%) alcohol worked in the burner would be fine, but—if the device could run well on a 160-proof mixture (80% ethanol and 20% water)—it would not only be more economical, but should provide more heat as well.
		Because of this "modification" to the fuel, the air valve had to be closed a bit before the burner produced the same high-quality, clear blue flame (the oxygen contained in water tends to "aerate" the combustion slightly).
		The same efficient burn proved to be possible down to a 150-proof fuel mixture (8 ounces of water and 24 ounces of ethyl alcohol).

		The Alcohol Fuel handbook, first published in 1980, presents knowledge gained through the extensive practical experience of the author and her then partner, Robert Brautigam, in the production of ethanol for fuel.
		It is very informative on the properties of fuel alcohol and the different raw material possibilities.
		Even if you are not interested in producing your own alcohol fuel, but are interested in learning more about ethanol and alcohol based fuels, this book provides you with the facts needed to understand this growing market.

		Grain or sugar alcohol (ethanol) is a renewable fuel, and it is pretty much pollution free, since the by-products of combustion are only water and CO2.
		It is a home grown fuel and we don't have to import it from the Middle East.
		Many people are doing just that, and running their vehicles on clean-burning alcohol instead of expensive gasoline.
