Making Biodiesel At Home-What You Must Consider First

Before you consider the biodiesel home making process there are a more than a few things that you need to consider. Some of them have to do with safety and others have to do with any plans you may have about selling biodiesel product.

Making Biodiesel At Home Using Waste Vegetable Oil

This article is for those who are a little more experienced at making biodiesel at home and who wish to progress from using straight vegetable oil to waste oil. As users of biodiesel fuel know vegetable oil will react very similarly to diesel fuel in a diesel engine. Like diesel fuel, biodiesel will ignite when compressed causing air in the engine cylinders to expand. This is the energy that pushes the engine pistons into motion.

Creative Evolution

The Wright Brothers had to understand laws of physics, aerodynamics, and other factors to make their plane get off the ground. Could nature have figured the secret of flight out on its own?

Is Biomass Really a Clean Energy Resource?

As we strive to find alternative energy resources, many potential solutions are on the table. Biomass energy is one such solution or is it?

Research Ethics, Experimentation, Peer Review, and Focus

True scientific research and honest and ethical collection of data is a must for the forward progression of both science and mankind. Recently such a topic came up in an online think tank in discussing a particular research project and one of the leading researchers said...

What Makes Humans So Unique To Other Life Forms On Earth?

Recently there has been renewed interest in a very old question; what makes humans so unique to other Life Forms on Earth and separates them from all other animals? In fact this very question re-surfaced in an online think tank and here is what one think tanker had to say about it.

Humans are Unique to Animals; Are We Sure?

The topic recently came up in an online think tank as to if Human are truly unique to all other animals. Are they? That indeed is hard to say, but at least one researcher wanted to prove it and will thru experimentation find some answers to this question.

Humans and Chimpanzees are Cousins
