Biodiesel - is it viable?
by seniorjose on Thu Jun 22 09:42:20 PDT 2006
AMES, Iowa: This press release issued by EurekAlert says that they're only 250 billionths of a meter in diameter. But fill them with the right chemistry and Iowa State scientists say the tiny nanospheres they've developed could revolutionize how biodiesel is produced. The researchers are after a new, high-tech catalyst that takes some of the energy, labor and toxic chemicals out of biodiesel production. They've come up with a technology that works in the laboratory. And now they're working with the West Central Cooperative in Ralston to test their discoveries on a larger scale. They're also working to establish a company that would move the new technology into biorefineries. The Iowa State research team is led by Victor Lin, an associate professor of chemistry. The team also includes George Kraus and John Verkade, both University Professors of chemistry at Iowa State. The researchers are part of Iowa State's Center for Catalysis. Their project is being supported by a $1.8 million, three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a $120,000, two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and a $140,000 grant from the Grow Iowa Values Fund. "This is a project that's definitely relevant to the state's economy," Lin said. "I thought as a scientist I could contribute something to the state." Current biodiesel production technology reacts soy oil with methanol using toxic, corrosive and flammable sodium methoxide as a catalyst. Getting biodiesel out of the chemical mixture requires acid neutralization, water washes and separation steps. It's a tedious process that dissolves the catalysts so they can't be used again, Lin said. So Lin and his research team started looking for technologies that would create an easier, more efficient and more economical process. They were also hoping to find technologies that would effectively make biodiesel out of raw materials such as used restaurant oils and animal fats – materials that are much cheaper than soy oil, but also contain free fatty acids that can't be converted to biodiesel by current production methods.

RDX at Columbus Auto Show
by ralston1 on Thu Mar 16 21:06:28 PST 2006
I was able to get an up close look at the RDX at the Columbus Auto Show. Also got the full walk-around on the vehicle by the factory rep. A couple of interesting notes; 240 hp and 250 ft/lbs. of torque, nav will most likely be standard, and July will be the dealer arrival. The full specs and pricing should be pr'd by Acura after the NY auto show. I was able to get shots of the interior, engine and second row fold-down. Email me and I'll shoot you the link. rm_ralston@yahoo.com

I understand about the K&N, but after spending $280 on the airaid figured I should leave it on for awhile. Filters getting dirty though and not sure on the cleaning and oiling so may just use as a disposable and buy another. The black billet is real or costs as much as a real one...the background is barbed wire fence surrounding an old sugar refinery now turned office/factory building by a surfer now turned multimillionaire tiedyed tshirt tycoon named Rick Ralston.
