Excerpt from The Use of Alcohol in Internal Combustion Engines: Thesis for the Degree of Mechanical Engineer in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois, Presented June, 1906
The reports of the United States Geological Survey all lend strength to the belief that the supply of petroleum is fast becoming exhausted. The surveys show that while the oil fields are widely distributed, they are very limited in extent. The average percentage of gasolene in petroleum from all the oil fields in the world is less than two per cent. This fact, taken in connection with the constantly increasing demand and failing supply, makes it necessary to find a fuel that has unlimited possibilities of production.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the potential of ethyl alcohol, or grain alcohol, as an alternative fuel source for internal combustion engines. It explores the history of alcohol as a motor fuel, beginning with its initial rejection due to its low calorific value. The author presents arguments in favor of alcohol, emphasizing its complete combustion, odorless exhaust, and the ability to use more of it with a given motor as factors that offset its lower energy density. The book also discusses the challenges associated with using alcohol as a fuel, such as its high cost of production and the need for denaturizing to prevent its use as a beverage. Despite these challenges, the author believes that alcohol has the potential to become a viable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, offering advantages in terms of both environmental sustainability and economic feasibility. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
