. The oil I decanted was clearer than what I usually get - probably from sitting so long. We don't have your temperate climate here. Temps range from -20 to 95F so YMMV. I've yet to see any "spoiled" or hardened oil that was kept in an opaque sealed container with minimal air space. Think linseed oil. Bill
I was thinking about exhaust heat recovery today and thought about the idea of putting a catalytic converter before the 'recover area' to heat up the exhaust gas a bit more as the converter 'burns' the unburnt fuel in the exhaust gas from the engine, thus more heat; it also would help clean up the exhaust emissions a bit as well. SmileyI was thinking the same thing. Anyone know anything about cats? Are gas/diesel the same? Is sizing critical? Extra heat and cleaner exhaust (fewer deposits?) would certainly be a plus.
How about molten salt as the phase change storage media?Interesting. How hot do you have to get salt to melt it?
If it's only about finances than yea, there's better ways to go. But circumstances enter into it too. If you're out in the boonies, with grid power miles away (to run the central heating system you'd have to buy), on a road where fuel trucks fear to tread, it might be worth thinking about.
IMO, if the $.25/hr or so in heat is of interest and you have a design to deal with the condensate and soot cleanout, then exhaust heat recovery is a good idea.
)that generates 1kw while heating your house.I suspect that'll happen once bo gets in.......people will realize then how good they had it nowCan't imagine remembering the last 8 yrs as the Good Old Days no matter who gets elected, but I don't blame that entirely on the Bush/Cheney regime. With very few individual exceptions, congress has been totally complicit. More likely I'll think back to the days when the Bill of Rights was intact, when the budget was balanced, when we weren't fighting wars for fabricated reasons, when torture was beneath us, and when we could count on the investigations of the press/media to keep the politicians somewhat honest.
why on god's green earth do we actually give tax breaks to companies who move American jobs and production overseas? Under what possible logic is taking away American jobs and loosing the tax base a good idea for anyone but international corporations? Why are we actually paying oil companies millions tax dollars when they are making record profits?Yea, why would we? "We", being citizens and voters, wouldn't. But with the corporate control of the Republican and Democratic parties, they simply give it to themselves. And with the corporate control of the mainstream media, third (fourth, fifth?) party candidates are simply invisible. Sure would be nice to see Ralph Nader, Ron Paul and others on the debate platform with B.O. and J.M. Perhaps the discussion might turn to things that really matter.
