Paul,

Is anyone doing research into other fuel types with the Mazda
Wankel?

Ethanol/Methanol/Alcohol?

What about Hydrogen and/or Dissociated Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO)
…..?

Over the past few years I have been working on a concept that
would potentially be able to produce copious amounts of DDHMO, and
should be comparable in $/joule to high octane gasoline, possibly
cheaper. The benefits would of course be the fact that it would be
renewable, carbon neutral and non-polluting.

Because of the acidic nature would need to be handled properly in
the plumbing system, fuel rail, fuel tanks, etc.

They will all work. What is wrong with gasoline?

I would be curious about jet a jet p and diesel also? Have these
fuels been looked at? Also, thank you for your website and
newsletter Mr lamar. I foind your website a while back while trying
to research rotarys for an aircraft engine amd recently joined your
newsletter and love it.

James C. Reyna

Yes of course.

You should work on something that has a chance of success.

Ethanol from switch grass. $80. Per acre to seed, harvest twice a
year yields 1140 gallons per acre with a 10 year crop life. My
conscience will bother me selling it for .90 cents a gallon. We
always knew growing grass was profitable! +40 lbs. of boost and a
shot of hydrogen bet we can explore the Mazdas' eccentric shaft
bearings regularly. Michael Nash

Agricultural land  and irrigation water are limited. If you grow
fuel the price of food goes up.

You just repeated the political banter you complaine about. 1 acre of
potatoes can run a tractor for 50 yrs. from 1 cropping and the left
over mass is cattle feed/fertilizer. Our parries are covered in
switch grass already.

   Not true. Those are the facts.
   Brazil nearly starved to death growing  fuel for cars.
   Then they found oil off the coast.

   I takes energy to make alcohol. Alcohol is more expensive than gasoline
   and does not have the energy per gallon.

   If grass is cheaper than gasoline how come they are not doing it.
   You have to harvest it, ship it and convert it.

For automobiles natural gas is a viable fuel. Dedicated engines can run 15:1 CR without detonation to recover fuel economy. Diesel engines are easily converted to run natural gas with either pilot injection of diesel fuel at idle fuel injection volume or convert to spark plugs. Depends on the particular engine.

The buses are top heavy with all the CNG tanks on the roof :-)
