Jonah, pretending to be firewood, before we light
the waste wood / WVO boiler for the first time.
The New "ASSMFCGU"
Adler
Simultaneous Symbiotic Multi Fuel Co-Generator Unit working title
No, I am not burning greasy kids stuff, this Co-Gen project
is a complex one that is almost finished. I will have
pictures and probably a bunch of pages on it coming soon. For
you smarty pants who like gadgets, Here is how it works!
I installed an outdoor, waste wood / waste vegetable oil
burner and plumed it to three different places on the property
using highly insulated, underground tubing to connect the main
house, the guest house and the pool court.
My low speed Listeroid engine is installed in the basement of
the guest house and plumbed into the same heating system.
I converted it to run only on WVO, and not start on diesel.
I can do this safely because when the engine is not running, it,
and the WVO are both constantly kept at full operating
temperature by the furnace and are ready to start right up on
WVO. When I run the engine, it will power either a
standalone generator that will function as a power back up in
the case of a black out, or power another generator that is
actually a grid tied unit.
When the engine is running, it will produce about 8Kw of WVO
produced electricity for use anywhere on the entire
compound. Electricity that is not being consumed on the
compound is sent back to the electric grid and will turn the
electric meter backwards. A the same time, the waste heat from
the engine which everyone else vents to the heavens by a
radiator, is instead pumped directly back into the central
furnace, providing heat for all buildings, domestic hot water,
and even the pool and hut tub. Talk about eating every
part of the proverbial animal!
When lounging naked in the hot tub, with an umbrella drink in
one hand and a cigar in the other, with a few beautiful people
with trendy names, and whom you don't really know, all around
you -- no more guilty feelings about the glutinous
carbon footprint hot tubs and heated pools produce.
hmmm, I wonder how well baby seals burn?
I hope to post pictures of the "ASSMFCGU" by late
spring.
I have since
stopped trying to atomize WVO with a traditional nozzle.
My tests indicated that the heat and pressure required to
properly atomize WVO were impractical. Another, much
better method had to be employed. See below.

Waste Vegetable Oil Home Heater:
Here is my first, proof of concept. this is about a 40KBTU
concept testing construction.
I was able to atomize cold veggie oil and ignite it with
10,000 volts!
I actually don't put the feed coil directly into the flame as
seen here - this was just a test that was photographed.
I like playing with fire. Fire Good.
I am now automating the prototype system and building a micro
controller to adjust all settings dynamically. The gun
will burn any oil based fluid!
My micro controller senses all applicable parameters, and
will adjust them in real-time such that you could change the
feed fuel back and forth between anything, and the burner would
not skip a beat - adjusting all required parameters for the most
efficient combustion.
I have been on Ebay for weeks, buying up the most obscure
micro sensors, pneumatic controls and transducers.
My wife thinks I am crazy, so I just tell her that all the
packages coming to me every day are just internet porno.
Hydrogen!
Yeah baby, Hindenburg was framed!
As much as I love WVO, I know it is not the final answer.
I think Hydrogen is awfully neat, considering it lives inside
the world's most abundant resource - water. How cool would
it be if electrolysis were improved to make hydrogen more
practical to farm? (Answer: VERY)
While there are a lot of major quacks out on the web talking
about Zero Point Energy, I am profoundly skeptical and do not
believe in magic.
I have just finished my first draft of the Adler HydrOlar
Generator. It created Hydrogen from plain tap water and
sunlight. I use a patent pending, computer based, dynamic
and intelligent system to produce hydrogen with amazing
efficiency from very low voltage and low amperage.
