It could also be readily fueled into modified engine to serve as power source for power tiller, irrigation pump, thresher and other agricultural machines and implements needing power.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Distilling capacity is 1 liter of anhydrous ethanol, 170 proof (85%)
  • Heat source of the apparatus could be fuelwood, bagasse, rice hull or any
    farm by-products
  • Can be operated by one person
