  • Is Change Another Word For Progress?
    By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - As times change, so do companies. In 1806 William Colgate founded a company to make soap, candles and starch. Colgate toothpaste wasn't made until 1873. In 1837 John Deere was a frustrated blacksmith in Grand Detour, Illinois trying to make plows that cut through the area's clay. When he started to make his plows with cast steel, he started the John Deere Equipment Company. In 1866 David McConnell sold books door-to-door. To appeal to women customers he offered free perfume. When the perfume bec ...

  • Demand For Biofuels Fuels Demand For Water
    By: Glenn Oliver09 | - As oil prices have been rising, biofuels have been booming. Biofuels are made from plant matter; the complex carbohydrates of the plants are converted into hydrocarbon chains, which behave much like gasoline and diesel fuels. Even if you've never heard the term, you've undoubtedly heard the names of the fuels; ethanol, methanol and biodiesel are all examples of biofuels currently available in many countries.
    The main benefit of biofuels is easy to grasp; biofuels are a renewable resource, ...

  • Biofuel A Greener Energy Future
    By: Naved Jaffery | - The growing global demand for energy has caused a steep rise in energy prices, notably for petroleum-based fuels which are the prime source of energy for most of the worlds power plants, machinery, and transportation. As more and more so-called fossil fuels are burned to create energy, there has also been a steep rise in the emission of polluting gases around the world. Personal automobiles are the main culprit, since they produce most of the cardon dioxide (CO2) released daily into the atmosphe ...

  • Wvo: As Biofuel
    By: mystics | - How does it feel to fry French fries today and use the same oil to your car the next day? Believe it or not, the used oil can be reused into a biofuel to start your diesel engine. How did this come about? Most of us did not realize the similarities of properties between waste vegetable oil and diesel fuel. The only difference is that the WVO has higher viscosity and lower oxidative stability. You have to overcome these two factors in order to use WVO as fuel. Since WVO is close enough with its p ...

  • Ethanol,is It Another Modern Illusion?
    By: Bill Williams | - On the surface there appear to be many eco-benefits in replacing oil with a biofuel with the properties of being environmental friendly and having low carbon gas emissions similar to ethanol.

    For a start the crops from which ethanol is derived are commonly grown agricultural products such as corn, rapeseed and sugarcane; they can justly be called renewable as new crops are planted and harvested annually.

    The claim is that ethanol does not contribute to global warmin ...

  • The Disaster Of Ethanol As A Biofuel
    By: Bill Williams | - You would be forgiven if you thought that in these present times when world economies are slowing down due to a major banking crisis coupled with steeply rising energy and food prices that when a solution to a part of that problem is available the powers that be would support and promote it to ease the everyday burdens that now exist for us all.

    For example there is a system which enables motorists to increase the fuel economy of their cars (or any vehicle) while literally steam c ...

  • Biofuel As A Renewable Energy Source
    By: DCJames | - Biofuel is not one of the well known types of renewable energy but an important one to understand. The process begins when plants grow through photosynthesis. There is chemical energy stored inside of it that can be released. What they create is a type of biomass and that can be turned into fuel.

    It can then be burned in combustible engines. There is still plenty of research that needs to be done in the area of biofuel. The process right now of converting it is not as effective a ...
