Quothe Tony Duell, from writings of Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 12:56:29AM +0000:
You are planning on taking a fuel, burning it in an
internal combustion
engine, using that to generate electricity, then running an electrical
heating element off that? Why not just burn the fuel and use the heat it
produces?
Actually, one can build a still into their old (the old ones are
bigger) oil-fired or coal-burning furnace with the result of much less
wasted energy. :-) Hey, perhaps I should patent this energy-efficient
(well, in the winter, anyway) method of making moonshine. Of course,
by using a generator, one could also power quite a few grow lamps (in
an underground room, of course) and computer controlled automated
potato launchers, as well as the high-power RFI generators. ;-)
