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.
