Biodiesel an ideal alternative

Biodiesel has been getting its share of interest from people looking for alternative fuels. The steadily rising cost of oil on the world market and many believe it is time to find other sources of sound in any way increase the cost of using gas and fuel oil. One of the alternatives that are on the promise that is the production of biodiesel.
Biodiesel refers to a type of fuel that can be derived from biological sources. Can be readily used in diesel vehicles. This distinguishes them from the use of vegetable oil (SVO) or waste vegetable oils that have changed (UVA) as the chosen alternative, vehicles with diesel engines using these fuels must be installed.
What makes biodiesel an ideal alternative, which is biodegradable and nontoxic. Biodiesel is also significant emissions from the incineration of low compared to petroleum diesel.
Since biodiesel can be changed easily in existing diesel engines without using it, they have to fulfill the potential of using fuel oil as main source of additional power, the need for global transportation sector. Not only that, the promises of biodiesel fuel used as a cheaper alternative to domestic and commercial boilers.
Biodiesel can be used in pure form or blended with petroleum diesel. There are a number of advantages and benefits with their use. Biodiesel is one of the best features is the high level of lubricity. Greater than pure petroleum diesel, this excellent lubricity of biodiesel significantly extending the life of a fuel injector of the engine.
Biodiesel is a better solvent than regular diesel and has been shown to break down deposits of residue in fuel lines, since products with conventional diesel. Therefore, the fuel filter clogged with debris, such as biodiesel always does his job to clean the engine is so common. The filter change after running 600-800 miles on biodiesel is recommended to resolve this problem.
There are environmental advantages in subsequent elections of biodiesel compared to conventional diesel use petroleum-based. results of its use in biodiesel significantly reduces emissions of carbon monoxide. Biodiesel also contains less hydrocarbons and particulate emissions from the exhaust pipe can reduce up to 20 percent.
Biodiesel also has a low sulfur content, viscosity and no natural lubrication is often the case when using ultra-low sulfur variety of diesel. It is also nontoxic and biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative.
It is considered by many lawyers suggested that the excess biodiesel or vegetable oil may be the best source of oil to produce this alternative fuel. But the current available supply is, unfortunately, less than the amount of petroleum-derived fuel that is burned for transportation and home heating throughout the world. Gallons liters of waste vegetable oil are produced by U.S. restaurants every day.
But that may not be sufficient to meet the need for more fuel and more. The production of biodiesel from animal fats may not be viable enough to replace petro-diesel for the limited supplies. However, research is underway to find solutions and systems that make biodiesel more available and they can develop to meet the growing needs of the alternative was

BREAK THROUGH POWER - QUANTUM PHYSICS

OF COURSE - This Blog is about Waste Plastic Technology!

The Blog is also about ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

Here we begin to explore reuse of plastics for energy as well as point to theories and realities with respect to alternative thinking about energy itself. We will explore Quantum Physics in more depth down the road but will begin with an introduction -



What is Quantum Physics?



Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. There are five main ideas represented in Quantum Theory:

Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units.

The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.

The movement of these particles is inherently random.

It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.

The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.



While at a glance this may seem like just another phantom theory, it contains numerous clues as to the fundamental nature of the universe and is more important than even relativity in the grand scheme of things (if any one thing at that level could be said to be more important then anything else). Furthermore, it describes the nature of the universe as being much different then the world we see. As Niels Bohr said, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it. Niels Bohr, who worked in Copenhagen when he presented what is now known as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory, the particle is what you measure it to be. When it looks like a particle, it is a particle. When it looks like a wave, it is a wave. Furthermore, it is meaningless to ascribe any properties or even existence to anything that has not been measured. Bohr is basically saying that nothing is real unless it is observed.

A lot more to come – BREAK THROUGH POWER by Jeanne Manning & Joel Garbon expresses Quantum Physics (the Quantum-Leap) where new energy inventions can and are transforming our world. Magnets are not to be discounted. It is our world and alternatives all need to be part of today's discussion regarding how our planet will evolve within it's current transition of traditional energy values. Stay tuned. Petroleum is with us and plastics too. There are solutions to landfill plastics. There are solutions to use petroleum wisely. Read on.

PLASTICS - LOVE THEM AND NEED THEM?

Probably so. Plastics are indeed an integrated part of our civilization. A recent CNN report points to these points of reference. Plastics. Love them or hate them we need them. What to do with them - Use them again as an alternative fuel. Environmentalists & Politicians are not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to the potential utilizing waste plastic as a fuel source is safe, energy efficient, and there is enough material to offer up an alternative fuel source. Plastic can be burned with less emissions than Natural Gas. Proven independent tests point to the myth that plastic burning is harmful. Wrong.

READ ON.... Do we need a solution? YES. Is there one? YES.
CNN Report:
"One of the most useful, durable and ubiquitous materials known to man, it permeates every sphere of human life. It protects and stores our food; it transports o ur goods; we brush our teeth with it; we can find it in our refrigerators, cars, computers and mobile phones; we can thank it for our shower curtains, our plumbing and the flooring we walk on.
In short, it's everywhere, sustaining our way of life to the extent that we struggle to imagine life without it.
We now consume around 100 million tons of plastic annually, compared to five million tons in the 1950s when American housewives were just discovering the wonders of Tupperware. To put that into perspective, one ton of plastic represents around 20,000 two-liter bottles of water or 120,000 carrier bags, according to the British Web site Waste Online.
The estimates of how many plastic bags used annually vary wildly from 500 billion to anywhere up to 1 trillion. Even taking the more conservative estimate of 500 billion still roughly translates as 1 million every minute, according to Reusablebags.com. As for plastic bottles, Earth Policy Institute estimates that in 2004 the global consumption of bottled water alone was 154 billion liters.
According to Fast Company, in any given week in the United States, 1 billion bottles of water are being moved around the country, with Americans consuming 50 billion bottles each year. Of that, a whopping 38 billion of them are being sent to landfills, while on a daily basis 60 million just get chucked away."

USING DIRTY PLASTIC AS A FUEL SOURCE!

Many may not realize that throwing away 'PLASTIC' is throwing away a ready fuel source. Plastic is primarily petroleum and burns with high efficiency. WASTE PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY has patented a unique burner that recovers fuel from dirty waste plastics. The Greenhouse Industry in Korean is commercially utilizing the unit and one farmer alone has suggested he is saving $6 Thousand a month in fuel costs. Korea has no natural resources but plenty of plastic. Accordingly the revolutionary burner is finding high interest as an alternative fuel generator. USA has been quick to see the potential and PENN STATE University has been an active research partner with respect to the creation of PLASTOFUEL an easy handling fuel nugget made from various dirty plastics. All be it a hot technology and useful in it's purpose, Countries like Canada have been caught up in the burning of wood waste as a fuel source. A poor substitute (low efficiency BTU) for alternative energy and indeed some say dangerous to the environment by removing naturally bio-degradable vegetation from the forests. Over time this removal of waste woods will harm the forest value scientists are saying. The jury is out accordingly. Waste Plastic is a menace worldwide, including Canada, and the GR Technologies Burner will find acceptance where alternative resources are scarce and particularily where landfill issues are paramount. The reduction of plastics from landfills may be the most likely motivator to adopt a clean burning plastic burner that in turn offers up both usable, cheap heat and power.

OUT OF SITE. CRUISE SHIP TRASH DUMPING!

Cruising into trouble
The number of people who go on a cruise each year more than trebled – from 1.4 to 4.5 million – between 1980 and 1993. The largest cruise ship built so far, the Carnival Destiny, carries 3,400 passengers and 1,040 crew, and is taller than the Statue of Liberty and longer than three football fields.
Cruise ships, on average generate about 4,400 kg of waste a day, compared to the 60 kg a day produced by cargo ships and 10 kg a day by fishing vessels.
About a third of the waste from cruise ships visiting the Caribbean is deliberately dumped, because many ships do not have incineration units (or they are faulty) or because ports do not have adequate facilities for unloading it.
Indeed, even when the waste is properly received by ports, this is often only the beginning of the problem: many countries, particularly small islands, do not have enough disposal sites to deal with it. So says the UNEP. Well. One can expect Cruise Ships to challenge the comments however perhaps there is no contest on this. Fact is TRASH is dumped in the Ocean by somebody! Let's find the way to reuse this product as a fuel source. Waste Plastic Technology has the solution.
