Download or read book Build Your Own Still written by Tristan Trubble and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tristan, I've been considering fuel alternatives for possible collapse scenarios and I was wondering which possibilities you would recommend?" This is a topic of conversation among many prepper groups. In fact, when I am asked to be a guest speaker at various prepper functions for my local community, one of the biggest concerns folks in the foothills have is what to use as a substitute if/when the gas stations run dry and end up shuttered. Grain alcohol is one of the first options that comes to mind. If manufactured correctly, moonshine can be used as an alternative fuel source. The majority of gasoline engines on the market right now, will function normally when fed grain alcohol. In some cases, the use of grain alcohol may even produce better fuel mileage, and/or a cleaner running engine. In this book I discuss some of the secrets associated with building a still, which is a device you will need if you want to manufacture grain alcohol to be used as a fuel alternative, or as an item to exchange on a post-apocalypse bartering system. The information contained in this book does not necessarily provide a blueprint for still production, but it does share valuable insight that should be understood before anyone undertakes a task of this magnitude.

Download or read book How to Make Moonshine written by Tristan Trubble and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I recently purchased your eBook on the Secrets of Building a Moonshine Still. I elected to go with a prefabricated still, and now I am looking for a little help on making the actual moonshine, would you be able to offer any assistance or insight?" This is the natural evolution from building a whiskey still. There are several recipes available for making moonshine, and any of them will suffice. I normally encourage my readers to begin small, especially if you haven't got the experience associated with Appalachian Moonshine masters. You will want to run a few test batches to get familiar with the process before going full bore on the manufacturing process. Safety, safety, safety cannot be overstated. Making moonshine is a potentially hazardous endeavor. Moonshine is high octane liquor with extremely high flammability properties, which means it can catch fire, or possibly erupt, if attention to detail is not adhered to. Always employ fire safety when operating a moonshine still. As mentioned in the context of the book, making moonshine is considered illegal in several states without the proper permits and licenses. Under no circumstances am I suggesting that you conduct illegal activities; the information provided is for entertainment purposes only. That being said, this material may come in handy for a SHTF situation in which conventional services in the form of fossil fuels are unavailable. Keep Confident & Survive, Tristan Trubble

Download or read book Caveman Chemistry written by Kevin M. Dunn and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half a million years ago our ancestors learned to make fire from scratch. They crafted intricate tools from stone and brewed mind-altering elixirs from honey. Their descendants transformed clay into pottery, wool into clothing, and ashes into cleansers. In ceramic crucibles they won metal from rock, the metals lead to colored glazes and glass. Buildings of brick and mortar enshrined books of parchment and paper. Kings and queens demanded ever more colorful clothing and accessories in order to out-class clod-hoppers and call-girls. Kingdoms rose and fell by the power of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. And the demands of everyday folk for glass and paper and soap stimulated the first round of chemical industrialization. From sulfuric acid to sodium carbonate. From aniline dyes to analgesic drugs. From blasting powder to fertilizers and plastics. In a phrase, From Caveman to Chemist. Your guides on this journey are the four alchemical elements; Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These archetypical characters deliver first-hand accounts of the births of their respective technologies. The spirit of Fire, for example, was born in the first creature to cultivate the flame. This spirit passed from one person to another, from one generation to another, from one millennium to another, arriving at last in the pages of this book. The spirit of Earth taught folks to make tools of stone, the spirit of Air imparted knowledge of units and the spirit of Water began with the invention of spirits. Having traveled the world from age to age, who can say where they will find their next home? Perhaps they will find one in you.
Download or read book Alcohol Fuel written by Richard Freudenberger and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwindling petroleum supplies and growing environmental concerns are significantly impacting the cost of petro-fuel and its infrastructure. The search for alternative fuel sources has led to ethanol, a gasoline substitute that is already in the marketplace as Gasohol and E-85. But large-scale production of corn-based ethanol is controversial as it threatens the world’s food supply. There are alternatives, however: Brazil uses sugar cane, which is up to six times more productive in energy conversion. After the energy crisis of the 1970s, there was a lot of misinformation about the cost of individual ethanol production. In order to achieve energy independence from gasoline, ethanol lends itself to small-scale production, and especially to cooperative ventures in rural communities, often using “waste” feedstock. Alcohol Fuel is a practical, grassroots book that will give readers all the information they need, covering every aspect of making and using ethanol for fuel, including: *Permitting and planning *Budgeting and setup *Sourcing feedstocks *Finding and building distillation equipment *Storage and safety *Practical applications for converting motor vehicles, farm equipment, and space-heating systems The practical, user-friendly information on basic equipment needs, fermentation recipes, and distillation designs will be of interest to readers looking for information, as well as to those ready to make the switch. Richard Freudenberger was research director of Mother Earth News, where he managed the Alcohol Fuel Program and developed solar and renewable solar and energy projects. He is publisher and technical editor of BackHome magazine and lives in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
