Excerpt from Power Alcohol: Its Production and Utilisation
The use of alcohol as a fuel for internal combustion engines is by no means a new development. Since the beginning of the present century it has been employed to a limited extent in farm engines, more especially in the neighbourhood of agricultural distilleries on the Continent. Alcohol engines have also been used success fully in some of the chief sugar-producing countries of the tropics, the fuel being derived from the fermentation of molasses. It is only within recent years, owing to the shortage and high price of petrol following on the war, that the employment of alcohol as a fuel for light motor transport has been seriously advocated.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of alcohol as a fuel for internal combustion engines, providing a deep dive into the history, science, and applications of this alternative energy source. The author traces the origins of alcohol-based fuels to the early 20th century, when they were used in farm engines and in sugar-producing countries. Due to the scarcity and high cost of petroleum following the war, the use of alcohol as a fuel was seriously advocated. The book examines the potential of various crops, such as cereals, tubers, roots, trees, and even seaweed, as sources of alcohol. It discusses the economics of alcohol production from these crops, comparing their costs and yields. Additionally, the book explores the use of cellulose materials and synthetic processes for alcohol production. The author also delves into the chemical and physical properties of alcohol as a motor fuel, examining its calorific value, combustion characteristics, and compatibility with engine components. The results of engine tests are presented, showcasing the performance and efficiency of alcohol-blended fuels. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the need for sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to petroleum-based fuels. The insights provided offer valuable guidance for researchers, policymakers, and those interested in the development of renewable energy sources.
