Ethanol‚ a Fuel? Ethanol fuel is a type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages that is often made from common agricultural products. It is either mass-produced by fermentation of sugars or from cellulose. Wheat or corn kernels are ground in a hammer-mill to expose the starch‚ the ground grain is then mixed with water‚ heated briefly and enzymes are added to convert the starch to sugar using a chemical reaction called hydrolysis. Yeast is added to ferment the sugars to ethanol and finally the

Introduction to the Magnetic Treatment of Fuel By R.J. Kita Hydrogen is the lightest and most basic element known to man. With its simple structure comprised of only one proton and one electron‚ it is one of the major constituents of all hydrocarbon based fuels. By studying the response of hydrogen with respect to magnetic fields and the accompanying increased energy output‚ much can be learned and applied to other related fuels. In the oxidation/combustion of hydrocarbon fuels‚ it is the outer shell of the

THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

In the 1960s‚ after the abolishment of slavery with the 13th amendment‚ slaves were free to live their lives as they so chose. Freed slaves and others in the south after the civil war needed to find a new way of living. Slaves were not paid for their labor‚ however‚ they were given food and shelter by their owner. Freed slaves had to figure out how to get those necessities on their own. Since slaves were used to working with crops‚ they looked to sharecropping as their means of work. Sharecropping

During the Civil War‚ the lives of the soldiers in war shared many similarities and differences. The lives of the soldiers before the war were very similar‚ despite the opposing views of each side of the war. Most of the Union Army was made up of young white men born in North America. Although soldiers generally ranged in age from 18 to 45‚ boys as young as 12 often served as cavalry‚ buglers or drummer boys‚ and some men in their fifties and sixties enlisted as privates. Most of the Union Soldiers

A Fuel Alternative. The Search for an Alternative Fuel to Save the Environment… And Our Pockets. Long gone are the days were one could drive into a petrol station and fuel up your highly inefficient gas guzzling vehicle without a care for the environment and sustainability. The recent spike in the price at the bowser‚ damage to the environment and diminishing reserves has made it clear that a new‚ sustainable and clean fuel must be created in order for our vehicles and economy to operate.
