Distilling Alcohol with Waste Automobile Heat. Final Report.

摘要

The distillation unit to be cost effective would have to be fabricated and installed by a skilled but free labor do-it-yourselfer or hobbyist. A manufacturer would not risk a large production run to reduce fabrication cost because of the operational problems which make the end result marginal. Similarly the variations of the automobiles would require custom fitting the unit to the car. The operational methods including permits and EPA rules seriously restrict this type operation for anything other than experiments and as a hobby. An acute shortage of fuel would have to take place where availability takes precedence over cost and convenience before the production of the unit would be worth investing. Drawings, fabrication instructions and parts lists are included. (ERA citation 07:050765)
