[QUOTE="Warren Okuma, post: 3961202, member: 48436"] Sure Dannyalcatraz. I just talked to my cousin. It seems that he built a compression ignition engine. Weird. Sorry about the confusion. I told you he wasn't too smart. Air when it gets compressed gets hot. [url]http://www.firepiston.com/[/url] [url]http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Herbert_Akroyd_Stuart[/url] All my friends that I know that yeast makes alcohol. And that lots of people know that alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water so it boils first. And when hot vapor cools it condenses. All you need is a copper tube, to cool the alcohol laden steam, (water optional) and a bucket to collect your alcohol. Repeat to purify. I suspect that there will be hundreds of thousands that know this surviving. Everyone in my High School and college chemistry classes knows how. Look all basic techs are as easy as this. Isn't moonshine stills in Texas in the rural areas? Add yeast. Wait ten days. Boil. Alcohol boils first. Cool steam. Repeat to purify. How simple is that? For the best results, you first boil the corn or feed. This kills the all unwanted microorganisms. Let it cool. Add yeast. Let ferment for ten days or until the mixture stops bubbling. Boil, and funnel the evaporating alcohol and water into your cooling rig. The initial boil is alcohol. When the mixture stops boiling it's almost out of alcohol so stop. Cool the steam by running it though a tube of copper (you can use iron if you do not intend to drink it) a water bath is best, but not necessary and to purify distil it again. Three boils and you have 91%+ (182 proof) alcohol. Ahem. Or so I read. Yup. And behold! If you survive you will have the knowledge to help rebuild civilization. Wow. You're right. There are tons of people working micro coal claims. Been looking at some micro coal pockets mining claims. Very interesting. Correct. One third of all mines in the United States are surface mines, strip or logwalling. And most of the underground mines have backup generators as safety features so can operate post starfall. I didn't realize so many coal mines had back up multiple generators. These mine operators keep a very ruthless schedule. [url]http://www.getenergysmart.org/Files/Schools/FactSheets/Coal.PDF[/url] Oh indeed it is. To get the 90% most of the casualties will be in California and New York and other heavily populated coastal cities due to tidal waves from underwater avalanches and earthquakes. Texas should be close to 90% with the entire coast wiped and many cities smashed. And you can drop anywhere from 1000 rocks to 30,000 depending on the model you uses otherwise you will get uncontrolled global warming. You do believe in global warming is caused by CO2 at least a little right? 30K of rocks produce a lot of burning. The future? So are they coming with powered armor, tanks and stuff? And most importantly does not cause runaway global warming from burning cities. One half of the hit is nuclear winter, but after three years it's nuclear summer due to the enormous CO2 being released from the burning cities. Being on Venus like world sucks. And small towns, and some small colleges, and unpleasant often industries. And small town libraries. So... no clerics in this world? None? No high level clerics? No gods? Please clarify. NEO's it's up to 80% detected. Really. [url]http://www.ll.mit.edu/LINEAR/[/url] 90% chance of detecting an asteroid that will hit in ten years. And they have 30,000 spot checks. Ten years is a lot.
