Home generator powered by vegetable oil

A team of British scientists has developed a new prototype (BMT), fully functional with unprocessed vegetable oils to combine cooling, heating and power supply.

The BMT system is not new to large-scale plants, but it is the first system that is thought to be effective for small and medium spaces using unprocessed fuel oil. By using a well-controlled process combining hoarding, waste heat recovery and efficient cooling, the team claims to have built a small-scale BMT system to meet the demand for variable power. daily activities in medium scale households.

The family size BMT system can provide about 6-9kW of electricity, the level needed for lights, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, kettle, microwave, vacuum cleaner, washer and dishwasher. operate concurrently.

This system has the potential to extend to large-scale commercial and technology applications.

The BMT system uses a variety of unrefined vegetable oils, including: Sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil and sesame oil.

Scientists have studied the types of oils that can be used, the oils available in places where there are no oil refining processes. As such, the demand for biofuels will not affect the viability of local people.

Scientists have developed a system that uses oil obtained from pressing plant seeds such as sesame oil and halibut. These crops can grow in harsh environments and arid so it is well suited for fuel supply in developing countries that will not negatively affect food production. .
