Plane Crash – large
Len Johnson was in a terrible plane crash following the successful completion of the first biofuel flight across North America. On his return while flying on gasoline, Len’s plane crashed during a forced landing in Osceola, MO. Len was badly hurt, but miraculously survived. The tail number of the homebuilt airplane was N-637PS. Len and Sherrie named it for Psalm 63:7-8: “Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you. Your outstretched hand upholds me.” God continues to work in their lives, and they feel led to share what God is accomplishing through this experience.

Will electric or biofuel cars dominate the market in future?
I know that there are already electric charging stations being established in the U.S., but my question is, how practical is this going to be? Battery technology isn’t advanced enough to allow a big charge that is practical enough to get around. I mean, electric cars are more of a novelty item instead of a true answer to the alternative fuel question. It seems like a good idea right now, but I believe there is a more practical, more efficient and cost effective way of powering our nation’s cars.
Do you think bio-fuels are the answer? It is a fuel after all and can replace the already-conventional petroleum methods of fueling. We might then be able to graduate into hydrogen fuel down the line. I think this would be more practical and would penetrate the market a lot easier than electric. I think EV’s would seem like primitive technology in 40 years tops.

How do you make your own biofuel??
If we were, i dare say, to make our own biofuel from plants…what are the steps needed to be considered…could i do it at home or should i go to a lab??how do i test it??do i use my own car to test??what are the instruments to be used?
please add details!!

BofA/ML Upgrades Shares of DuPont to “Buy”, Says There Are “Too Many Positives”
Bank of America / Merrill Lynch upgraded DuPont (NYSE:DD) today from “Neutral” to “Buy” and lifted their price target to $55 from $48. The firm said that there are “too many positives” including: (1) continued fundamental momentum in US and Latin American seed sales, aided by a resurgence in agricultural commodity prices; (2) strength in several industrial product lines, such as titanium dioxide; (3) progress on alternative energy initiatives: photovoltaics, cellulosic ethanol, and biobutanol; (4) pharmaceutical patent headwinds that fade in 2Q11; and (5) a weaker USD, including a 17% resurgence in the Euro over the past four months. BofA also raised its 2011 EPS estimate for DuPont to $3.40, above the $3.26 consensus. SmarTrend is bullish on shares of DuPont and our subscribers were alerted to buy on September 02, 2010 at $42.04. The stock has risen 9.1% since the alert was issued.

can you use biofuels in any car?
does it have to be a specifically enfineered car to take a homemade fuel or can i use any old car? can hybrid cars run on biofuel?

How would I be able to experimentally test the efficiency of conventional and alternate sources of car fuel?
We are trying to determine the efficiency of unleaded gasoline, pure ethanol, 10% ethanol, B20, and B100 (using Jatropha biofuel). Most likely, we will try to use a basic self built calorimeter to test for how long the fuels burn, how quickly they reach their maximum heat (and what that maximum heat is), the time it takes to reach its flash point, and the overall heat/energy produced. How should we go about with this experiment? How could we build our own calorimeter? How much fuel should we be burning (we were thinking about 250ml but that might be a bit dangerous…)? Are there any other important sources of fuel that we should be including in our tests? We also wanted to try and test for the negative emissions, but that might be hard. Do you have any idea of how we could measure these emissions (CO2, nitrogen, sulfur, etc)?

Biofuel is Taking Flight
An increased focus on reducing fossil fuel usage to minimize climate change has propelled aircraft manufacturers to investigate the use of biofuels. Biofuels are providing reasons for the aviation industry to be hopeful, as a means of achieving sustainability. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has recently given the preliminary approval to the blending of 50% biofuels produced from algal, jatropha, municipal waste and other cellulosic feedstocks in aviation fuels. Final approval is expected in July 2011. Lufthansa and Airbus are expected to begin a six-month commercial trial of a 50 percent biofuel blend, on four flights per day operating between Frankfurt and London. Bioenterprise works with a company who produces biofuel from agricultural crop residues and waste, and purpose-grown cellulosic feedstock. With the recent surge of aviation biofuel interest, perhaps there’s an opportunity to vertically integrate.
