Re: [Electric Boats] Alcohol fuel

AMEN! Thank you. I don't mind giving to the poor and needy, but this is not the forum for that. Boats anybody?

Hey Dan,

Nice commecial stove. It looks like a rocket stove to me. The rocket stovewas developed with third world countries in mind and can be made with cob stove pipe and a 5 gallon metal bucket. Plans are online for free.

Enough already, this has nothing to do with electric boats, and the only reason to answer such a post is to keep people from supporting unsolicited begging.

And bottom line about this too, ... Electricity, is the most costly (fuelish) way to turn energy into heat. Gas, natural or propane is the cheapest. Bio-mass, like wood or animal waste is more costly, and alcohol is right under electric, and 3-4 times more hazardous. From one "fellow" to another, please rethink your plan.

I have been working on this for some while as a consultant and a Senior Fellow with the Public Private Alliance Foundation (www.ppafoundation.org). Our list group usually focuses on Electric boats I am writing to invite you to get involved in an important project where your support could really make a difference.

We seek to reduce the demand for charcoal (that has led to 98% deforestation of the country), ensure farmers a better market for their sugarcane and other crops, create jobs for both men and women through making and selling cookstoves and fuel, and establishing small-scale distilleries with community groups nation wide.

These will be made in Haiti by a Haitian firm that is already successful in making and selling other varieties of cookstoves.

Also I will review the proposed site for a pilot small scale distillery, at a technical school close to the stove factory. The ethanol produced from this pilot plant will supply a small group of users for testing.   After the piloting we intend that the school will serve as the training center to educate young women and men as brew masters, distillery technicians and sales people. We will also reach out to farmers in relation to feedstock issues.
