Benoline: A useful new bio-fuel

A mix of Ben oil produced by the drumstick trees and ethyl alcohol from molasses, corn or other sources appears to be a promising bio-fuel for the future of mankind when it runs out of fossil fuels, for use in internal combustion engines. More research on Benoline is encouraged by researchers working on bio fuels. It has been named Benoline by the author, feel free to use the term, just credit this blog please. More on the drumstick tree can be found here:

The best way to obtain Ben oil is from forestry plantations of drumstick that are very easy to develop on arid lands of the warmer parts of the planet. However in order to maintain bio-diversity and soil health such forests are best mixed with other food producing trees such as mulberry to the extent of about 33 percent. These forests would then not only yield bio fuel but also food. The potential of such plantations to improve environment and contribute to food supplies is the primary advantage and impetus of the present suggestion in contrast to several other possible bio fuels such as castor oil at a time when other studies are underway for ben oil extraction such as through the use of supercritical carbon dioxide.

The oil cake that remains after ben oil extraction appears to be a great animal feed because of its high protein content.

On Revival of Soma plant of Rig Veda

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Path_between_sugar_canes_%285216462193%29.jpg Similar Document also available for view or download at: https://www.scribd.com/doc/290825034/On-Revival-of-Soma-plant-of-Rig-Veda Abstract An ancient plant was described as a god amongst plants in the Rig Veda, an ancient sacred text of Indo-Aryans. The proper identification of this plant has been lost to mankind since ancient times. Scholars have made several diverse attempts to identify what this plant might be but none of the proposals come near the original Soma plant. In the present note a possible identification of this plant is made with a likely extinct variety of a sugar cane plant. It is suggested how an existing varieties may be genetically modified to yield a variety close to original Soma 1. Introduction There was a plant of earth that grew around the Himalayas known as Soma. It was regarded by ancient Indo-Aryans as godly plant. Ancient Indo-Aryans...

An Exhaustive Review of WriterBay.Com - My Experience

How to build a toilet for less than a few thousand rupees or twenty dollars – and stop open defecation

The Septic Drain T hose who live in developed countries may be surprised to learn that a large part of the human population lives without a toilet. Put crudely they simply piss and shit out in the open. In India it is estimated that half the population does that. This is all the more tragic in a country that invented toilets, bathrooms and covered drains five thousand years ago in the Indus Valley civilization ( http://alienaccount.blogspot.in/2013/09/indus-valley-and-atlantis.html ). Since then though, a lot of piss and water has passed under the bridge with a slide into poverty and decay. Aside from the inconvenience of having to run out into the fields every now and then, the phenomenon of open defecation poses some serious issues that have only increased with an increase of population density on the planet. First are health issues. When it rains the waste is washed into drains, rivulets, rivers, ponds and lakes. Water sources are then charged with disease causing bac...
