Biomass Converter
It looks as if UCSA will be moving forward with development of a technology that will allow any standard gas engine to burn biomass (anything that grows from plants). A test of this kind of technology was completed in 1974 when a postal Jeep was modified to use the converter. The Jeep ran for 20,000 miles on a 60 pound sack of corn over a one year period. I've recently seen a prototype demonstrated and I'm very excited about what this technology could do for our nation. It could: 1) drastically reduce what families are spending on fuel 2) virtually eliminate all pollution by automobiles thus greatly improve the quality of our air 3) end our dependence on all foreign oil and 4) give our farmer a ready market for any crop they care to produce thus eliminating the need for farm subsidies. It will be very exciting to see what happens when this technology is released. We don't have any project released date but we hope it will occur by the end of the year
