WHAT IS ACETYLENE? C2H2 Other Name: Ethyne, Ethine Simplest Hydrocarbon with a Triple Bond Discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy (England) Former Times: Used to Light Stages (In the Lime Light); Light Towns; Miners Lamps; Automotive Head Lights Present Days Usage of USA Production – 20% Welding and Cutting; 80% Plastics & Organic Chemical Synthesis
10
WHAT IS ACETYLENE? C2H2 Manufactured From : 1) The Reaction of Water and Calcium Carbide 2) The Thermal Cracking of Methane Gas 3) The Thermal Oxidation of Hydrocarbons or Sources containing Hydrogen and Carbon
11
WHAT IS ACETYLENE? C2H2 Manufacturing Chemistry
12
IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE? YES: If You Make It From Renewable Materials Calcium Carbide – BioMass & Limestone Methane, Ethane or HydroCarbons – Wood or Any BioMass Feed Stock
13
IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE? YES: Most Common Method From Making Calcium Carbide is the Heating of Coal and Limestone to 3500-3800 F. We Can Chemically Replace the Coal with Charcoal (Carbon For Carbon) and Make Calcium Carbide. The Calcium is Recycled in the Process.
14
IS ACETYLENE A GOOD PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENT FUEL? YES, High Energy Release with the Breaking of the Triple Bonds Carbons. “The Sleeping Giant” by R.S. Miller Engine Testing Results
15
IS ACETYLENE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN BURNING FUEL? YES, High Energy Release with Conditioned Cooling Liquid Engine Testing Results
16
Go-Tec, Inc / AFuels, LLC Fuel and Engine Injection Technologies Inventors – 4 US Patents / 1 International Filing Alternative Fuel Development For IC Engines From Biomass including Agricultural Crop and Animal Waste
17
IS ACETYLENE AN ABUNDANT? The Feed Stocks Is Abundant Because Plant Life, Rocks, and Water are Abundant on Earth
18
IS ACETYLENE AN AFFORTABLE FUEL? YES 1. When Purchased In Cylinders, it is equal to $ 1.87 Gasoline – See Go-Tec’s Saturn 2000 Car Road Test Data 2. When Produced from BioMass – Equal to 3.5 Cents per KWH Electricity – See SRADCO & ArrowHead Center Feasibility Studies
19
IS ACETYLENE SAFE TO USE AND STORE? Acetylene Gas Has Been In Usage Since 1892 Acetylene Gas Is Stored In Cylinders in Acetone Acetylene Gas Can Be Produced From Water & Calcium Carbide on Demand (Fuel Cell) YES
20
WILL ACETYLENE CHANGE THE COMSUMERS LIFE STYLE? NO When Calcium Carbide Rods with Water Mist System is Finalized as a On-Demand Fuel Cell
21
BIOMASS GASIFICATION Biomass Gasification is an Effective Process of Transforming Organic Materials into Fuel Energy. The Process is Controlled by Burn Temperature Monitoring.
