Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

Think about it; let’s use a Pete 379 as an example the front grill has a huge surface area for the radiator and engine.

Where the fuel tanks are would be batteries. The batteries would be used for taking off and getting up to speed as well as stop and go traffic.
Your energy producing turbine would have to have over 100% efficiency in order to make enough power to compensate for the increased load experience by turning the turbine and increased wind drag by collecting and forcing that air to the turbine.
