The purpose of the project was to produce four educational tools: two portable engine demonstration trailers that show the operational characteristics of a spark ignition engine and a diesel engine burning various alternative fuels; a 16 mm movie of the several engine fuel demonstrations for use in physical situations where the actual demonstrations cannot be given; Agricultural Extension Service bulletins describing the operation of engines on alternative fuels; and construction plans and procedures for use by others in assembling similar demonstrations. The 2 trailers, one with a spark-ignition engine-generator set, one with a diesel engine-generator set, were built and demonstrated at 9 farm meetings with about 1500 people attending. A single 12-minute 16 mm film on the use of ethanol and sunflower oil as alternate fuels was produced and is available for public use. A paper titled Alternative Engine Fuels Demonstration and Materials Test was presented at a meeting of Agricultural Engineers and is available. (ERA citation 08:012655)
