Free Alcohol Fuel Compendium Vol 2
by Various
ISBN:  [size]


Ethanol from Cellulose! What most people do not realize is that ethanol has been made from waste wood and cellulose since the early 1900's. If it grows, you can make alcohol from it. This book contains two very good sections on the acid hydrolysis of cellulose. Typical yields are 250 to 500 pounds of alcohol from 2000 pounds of cellulose. That's 40 to 85 gallons of free alcohol from a ton of waste wood chips.

The Chemistry and Manufacture of Hydrogen
by P. Litherland Teed
ISBN:164 pages   5.5x8.5 inches [size]


This is the most detialed book on the chemical production of MILLIONS of cubic feet of Hydrogen. This book is on real hydrogen production in volume. Almost every chemical method is shown in this book. It was written for the making of hydrogen for blimps, observation balloons etc...and they take a LOT of hydrogen. Methods include metals and water to electrolysis to complete chemical cycles you've not heard of before. Instant hydrogen from units the French and British used in WWI and more. This is one of the best books ever written on Hydrogen, it proves that some of the best hydrogen experts ever were contemporaries of your grandfathers and great grandfathers. This is the first printing of The Chemistry and Manufacture of Hydrogen since 1919!
