Hi, i love your project! I am trying to duplicate it, and i can build all of the physical stuff, but i don't know exactly which chemicals were used. have you written up anything more on the chemistry side of things?ON 20131203@11:48:54 AM at page: On a web page you were interested in at: http://techref.massmind.org/Techref/other/woodstoves.htm#41611.4922916667 James Newton[JMN-EFP-786] See also: http://www.gizmag.com/spruce-stove-log/29863/ ...continuously feed one long log in as it burns, sort of like feeding a pencil into a pencil sharpener ON 20131204@8:17:32 AM at page: On a web page you were interested in at: http://techref.massmind.org/Techref/language/html/index.htm# James Newton[JMN-EFP-786] edited the page.

1. France, Germany, and Russia getting light sweet . . . France and Germany were getting a heavier, sourer grade than Italy, which gets most of its oil from Libya, the lightest, sweetest in OPEC. It is all ENI can handle and there's a pipeline under the Med for just this reason. Russia a net oil exporter . . . and they did have contracts to develop Iraqi fields. Lots of companies do.ON 20131209@4:12:15 PM at page: On a web page you were interested in at: http://techref.massmind.org/Techref/other/chickens.htm#41617.6751736111 James Newton[JMN-EFP-786] See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_S3P0eU0lE Respectful butchering of a chicken.

We are developing a driver board for the TB6600HG but there are a lot of issues that it doesn't manage internally that must be compensated for on the board.

Version 1.12. OPEC is not a price setter. They are a quota-based system tied to declared reserves, which are unverified and believed to be complete BS.
3. It is true Europe uses a lot more diesel than the US. That is by design. When your distill and crack a barrel of oil you are fairly limited as to how much gasoline (approx 45%) and diesel (approx 25%) you can get out of each one. Since we distill and crack more diesel than we can use during the processing of crude for gasoline, we ship our excess to Europe. Likewise, they ship their excess gasoline to us. That only makes sense. The majors developed their refineries over the years to take advantage of this natural disparity.
4. Of course the mid-east is running out of oil and attempting to diversify their economies. They're pumping sea water into the Ghawar like there's no tomorrow. There was only ever about 2.8 trillion barrels of proven reserves and we've already burned half of it - the easy to get, high-quality half. And half of that half was burned in the last 50 years. Do you really think we'd look at deepwater, tar, or fracking if we didn't have to?
5. "It doesn't cost OPEC or any of the big oil companies that have contracts in OPEC oil fields any more to pump that oil out of the ground than it did before." That's wrong. The first barrel is the cheapest and the marginal cost increases with every subsequent barrel. Often a freshly-tapped conventional well is under pressure, with copious quantities of natural gas and associated liquids present. As a well depletes more energy is required to move the oil from further depths, and eventually CO2 or seawater has to be added to maintain enough pressure to flow. These measures increase a lot after a well has passed the half-way point.
6. "Record profits . . ." In Exxon's best year they made a 40 billion on 400 billion in sales. That's a 10% margin. Any lower and why even bother? My conclusion is this article is a well researched, cherry-picked, disjoint assembly of everyday facts presented as some sinister plan to extort consumers.
