This is not a normal diary but rather a surprise comment on an aging diary about biomass powdered fuel that the community might be interested in. I hope I have not stepped over any rules:
Daily KOS Greetings Summerhill Biomass Systems
Hi Terry, everyone,
I am Lee McKnight, son and brother of the inventors, and Member of the Board of Directors of Summerhill Biomass Systems.
And a member of the Daily KOS community.
A few comments:
1. Terry you are right on new news soon : )
2. Folks are wrong claiming standard internal combustion engines cannot run on our fuel - we have been doing just that for 4 years now.
a) well ok there are tricks and we are a long way from a commercial release for automotive applications...but:
If the DailyKOS community wants to see us go faster - we may have a deal for you! Seriously, a student team is designing a 'green race car,' and we are designing a biomass bus, both of which should be operational 2011/2012. If you all are interested in seeing a 'Daily KOS' logo on the race car...let's talk more!
We are 100% serious about using our approach at scale to help heal the earth, by reducing emissions of methane and CO2 from natural biomass degradation processes.
best, and thanks for your interest Terry and thanks to all KOSites for your comments.
Lee McKnight
