Had this link about converting ethanol to butanol. Link
Quote:
"Butanol is much better than ethanol as an alternative to gasoline," said Jones, the C.F. Houghton Professor of Chemistry. "It yields more energy, is less volatile, and doesn't cause damage to engines."
I've heard of using butane to run vehicles (I think it was common around WWII due to fuel shortages), but butanol was new to me. Quick look for a wiki link shows... mostly stuff that goes over my head.
Anyhow, figured I'd post it.
