Biofuels at home

The constant increase in oil prices and negative impact of the oil industry on the environment has led to the popularization of alternative fuel, produced from natural products and known as biodiesel. Realizing that the demand for biodiesel will increase in the future, the developer Ben Guthrie (Ben Guthrie) proposed a project regarding a compact personal installation for its production.


The new concept is pretty concise, and, at the same time very capacious "Fuel", that is "fuel". According to the developer, the creation of such a device, which would be not only absolutely safe but also easy to use, it is possible. In fact, looks like the installation could go for a washing machine or dishwasher.


To produce their own biodiesel with Fuel is pretty simple: all you need to do is add the necessary ingredients such as soy or sunflower oil. In turn, the rest is handled by an automated system consisting of pumps, heaters and thermostats. Besides, thanks to the retractable tank for glycerol, this substance is a by-product can be sold or used for soap production.


It is assumed that the connection setup need only a power source and connection to the water supply.
