Gerald,

I would say open it up as a work project, and create on-the-site housing units. People need a roof over their heads and some electricity - and they will work for food and a part of the share from your farm. Fire up the alcohol crops like sugar beets so it can be used as either food or fuel, depending on which is more necessary - there is a market for you either way!

If you can help me get a Bright Neighbor setup in Bellingham, I could help get operations started like we have down here in Portland. Bright_Neighbor_One_Pager.pdf

Forming good networks is the only way we're going to make it work. You have land, I have fabrication skills (among with many other skills), my machinist buddy (Piston Service) has a boiler and 8' stainless pipe and a 8000sq/ft shop. And all that is just a starting example of what can be. We should definitely work together on these endeavours as it makes things easier and cheaper. What's your schedule like? I am free most Tuesdays and Thursdays or weekends. Gimme a call 319-7561. Name is Neuman.

The e-85 machine is a totally different beast. It even looks like one. Check out efuel100.com for the one for ten grand. Its pretty cool but thats a lot of money. Take a look at the amphorasociety.com site too. Their prices are very friendly for what they have to offer. Click on the video link to see their prototype fuel still, its very interesting.

Hey Gerald,
I work in Bellingham, with a few hours available usually in the mid-day. I'm just getting started but have been doing lots of research. Maybe we can get together and compare notes.

Profile Information

What do you have to say about Dave's book "Alcohol Can Be A Gas"?
very informative, long on theory, short on specifics but not so short that I won't be able to work something out soon enough. I'd rather have an ABC there ya go solution. While reading Dave's AcbaG book I stopped and figured out how many tons of material I would have to handle and how few gallons of alcohol I would get and decided I would have to save money for quite a while before I could afford to purchase the required materials to make the necessary equipment. Perhaps the right answer is to form a team of friends.
About Me:
I'm 54, married with 5 kids. I'm handy, hungry and in debt. I have a 30 acre farm with 5 acres of @#$&% canary grass in the middle that I'd love to turn into alcohol. Jobs I've had, in cronological order from 1972, dairy farmer hand, carpenters helper (tar slopper), appliance repairman, commercial refrigeration tech, cannery grunt, Kmart lumber dept manager, dairy farmer again, wood shavings baler & distributor, truck driver, assembler, purchaser and currently maintenance-R&D-in house consultant.
I am located in:
home is 5 miles due north of Bellis Fair Mall, Bellingham, Washington
