Most efficient use of vetable oil ?

 Here's a simple question looking for a guru answer..

I have an almost endless supply of used cooking oil..

Ignoring the fact that I could use it in the most unefficient way possible
to achive my goal, what is likely to be the most efficient way to convert it
to a supply
of electrical power at say 110 Volts at say 15 Amps ??
Even though I have too much of this stuff, I would like to only handle the
minimum
amount.... also this must be a low cost solution..( < $500 US )



My thoughts..

1. Generate steam and power a steam turbine/engine
2. Stirling heat engine.
3. Convert to bio diesel and power a conventional generator
    ( messy and I don't want to play with chemicals )


suggestions please..

thank you.. :)

  Why don't you open a donut shop, and use the profits from sales to buy
electricity from the utility company.

It's USED.. now you wouldn't want your doughnuts to smell of burgers would
you ??



possible

convert

 

Won't happen.


No need - just heat the oil and use it without converting. Once the
engine is started, it can provide all the heat needed. Steve Spence is
doing this now, as far as I understand. Many others are too, and several
long-term studies have found no negative effects on the motor, .vs.
diesel. But you won't find a (functioning) diesel genset for under $500
in the US of A.

I know, I missed off a zero.. I meant $5000.00

I need to get a new kbd.. this one is stickky.




Thought of this, but will a Diesel genset run for 2 years without problem ?
