Making Biodiesel
The best way to learn how to make your own backyard biodiesel is to start with a one-liter batch. It's easy to make a small batch that will work in any diesel engine. You won't need any special equipment--an old juice bottle will serve as the "reactor" vessel--and on such a small scale, you can quickly refine your technique and perform further experiments. by Rob Elam

- ipod switch for car (simultaneous)
You must be logged in to reply.
I've seen denison's multisource switch for cd changers, ipods and xm-radio connections. However, this seems to be overkill. I swear I read an article in Make that showed how to set up a simple toggle switch to go between a cd changer and a hardwired ipod in a car. I can't find it. Can anyone point me to it?Posted by drmike on October 19, 2005 at 08:39:27 Pacific Time
