http://www.efuel100.com/

Has conversion kits, and is shipping this year! ( no 10 years down the road, it ships this year! )

I did not like the production rate, but I like the idea of every Farmer having the ability to make his own fuel in a simple way.!

Basically a glorified still like the moonshiners used, but much prettier. And MUCH more expensive.
It isn't the making it, it's the running it in today's autos that is the problem.

From http://auto.howstuffworks.com/make-your-own-ethanol3.htm
<A solar ethanol still can usually be made with simple materials often found around the house. Building a boiler and a reflux column can cost anywhere from $30 in blueprints and about $50 in materials, to around $200+ for a fully-built reflux still on eBay. If you really want to make it easy on yourself, you can buy an EFuel100 MicroFueler for about ten thousand dollars.>

Good point, they have the kits to convert the cars.... on the website.

I have a book that tells how to convert the engine.... I was considering building a still...

Now I am enticed by wood gas powering a generator to charge an electric car...


This video is very cool.

I thought about a wood gas setup for my generator, and may put one together as an emergency item.

So many options and possible combinations for energy production... and not enough time in the day.
