…You know then “figures don’t lie,but…”
…A mag called”MotherEarthNews” ran articles,plans,AND an old Ford(?)pickup on 160proof(20%water)in 60’s/70’s,also wood gasifiers.
…I have just recently seen that article,and many others,on Youtube, entered “waterfuel”
…Could you give source for aircar info,please?
…Surely you would need very hi pressure,seems to me.We could find out cheaply,get gocart,scuba tank,air wrench!…Don

Hi Enduro! I agree with you completely on not using cropland for fuel,but they did energy balance studies out the wazzoo and they always came out positive.
Thats why I mentioned cellulosic ethanol(trash,grass,production waste).
Brazil has been using ethanol for years,all major problems are solved,but their cars are gas cars adapted to ethanol.
Saab’s solution is elegance in enginering,more ethanol/more boost/more power.
Using land in costa rica for fuel production is idiocy,being politically correct,IMO. Don

I think you need to do more research on ethanol,since these figures disagree with ANYTHING ever published on production (and I’ve been studying this since 70’s)

P.S. Google “ethanol saab” ,read ’05 article for starter.

I believe you’ll find ethanol runs MUCH cooler than gasoline,has much higher octane value.
We need to spend whatever it takes to develop fuelstocks from Any type of cellulose,there have been major strides already made.
