Lower Diesel Emissions: Reducing Diesel Engine Emissions with Technologies
Lower diesel emissions mean better health for both people and the environment. To be fair, however, it should be noted that diesel engines exceptionally fuel efficient in relation to gasoline, ethanol, biodiesel, and propane-powered engines. A diesel engine is between 25 percent and 35 percent mor
Fuel Catalyst: What is a Fuel Catalyst and What Does a Fuel Catalyst Do?
A fuel catalyst is a pre-combustion mechanical device that increases fuel efficiency and decreases emissions. There are both diesel fuel catalysts and fuel catalysts for gasoline. Because of the difference in density between fossil fuels, fuel catalysts have varying degrees of impact with respect to
Diesel Emissions: Types and Effects of Diesel Engine Emissions
Diesel emissions compared to gasoline, biodiesel, ethanol, propane, and natural gas is debated with regard to least/most and safest/worse. With respect to fuel efficiency, there is no debate. Diesel engines are far more fuel efficient than gasoline engines of comparable size. In fact, diesel engines
Reduce Farming Costs by Increasing Fuel Consumption Efficiency
A farmers personal income, while it may seem like the sum of a wide range of factors and variables, is as simple as two words: net profit. There are only two kinds of profit, net and gross. Gross profit is the most important of the two because gross profit is the amount of money a […]
Cut Costs of Agricultural Production: Understanding how to Increase Profit
Success in an AG business means accomplishing two things: generating a high gross profit and minimizing the difference between gross profit and net profit. Gross profit is how much money an operation makes. Net profit is how much money an individual or a company makes. Theoretically, an operation ca
Alternative Energies You’ve Never Heard of, but that Have Great Potential
Alternative Energies You’ve Never Heard of, but that Have Great Potential Alternative energies, those energies we’re lead to believe will replace fossil fuels — alternative energies like solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biofuels — all innately limited. The notion that any alternative fuel or
Heavy Equipment Operating Costs Reduction on a Large Scale
Heavy equipment operating costs are extremely high relative to the operating costs of other industries and sectors. Not only is heavy equipment expensive to purchase, operating and maintaining heavy equipment is equally costly in the short term and more expensive over the long haul. The difficulty
Why it is Impossible to Replace Fossil Fuels with Alternative Fuel Sources
The failures of “alternative” and “clean” fuels are making one thing abundantly clear: we cannot replace fossil fuels with anything comparable, at least not with any of the energy sources currently available to us. For one thing, there are no clean alternatives. There is no fossil fuel “
Choosing a Fuel Catalyst: What “Catalysts” are and aren’t Catalysts
Choosing a fuel catalyst requires an understanding of what a catalyst is and what is not a catalyst and understanding what a catalyst — or a non-catalyst — can and cannot do. The problem is, the definition of a catalyst — therefore, the function of a catalyst — is a moving target. Gaining an
What is a Turbo: Why Turbocharged Engines are Environmentally Friendly
Turbos, even diesel turbos, are associated with high rpm and rapid acceleration. It isn’t often that people talk about turbos in association with environmental consciousness and saving fuel. However, though it is true that turbos increase torque and acceleration, turbos are in fact technologies th
