Page 4 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1974 Researchers to study fuel of the future, wood alcohol BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES FOR RENT HELP WANTED OFFICIAL NOTICE Chances for an auto fuel supply for centuries will be enhanced if an experiment by two TAMU resear chers pays off. Drs. R. R. Davison and W. B. Harris, a pair of chemical engineers, are outfitting a Datsun pickup to run on wood alcohol (methanol). What makes this significant is the fact that methanol can be produced from coal, garbage, plant cellulose, oil shale, or any carbon source. In addition, it burns cleaner, is less polluting and is without lead and sulphur that hurt engine per formance. It also provides the same horsepower gas with much less en gine wear. “We’re designing the engine to use methanol as partial or complete substitute for gasoline,” Davison said. “We intend to get enough on the road testing to evaluate the maintenance, convenience, endur ance and general driveability of the modified system. The researchers say they believe it will help alleviate the U. S. foreign dependency on oil. After 1985 methanol from coal can begin to plug the gap between gasoline demand and domestic oil produc tion, they predict. Methanol will likely be judged a superior motor fuel in all respects except mileage in autos designed to take advantage of its characteristics. “Furthermore, methanol is now being made from natural gas for a cost per BTU that is nearly competi tive with premium gasoline and probably soon with regular,” Davi son said. “Coal and methanol could replace oil and gas as the backbone of both the fuel and chemical indus try. “The U. S. is coal rich,” said Har ris. “There is enough for hundreds of years. Proven minable reserves consist of200 billion tons of coal and lignite, while current production is 600 million tons per year.” This year three major surface mining operations in Texas are ex pected to yeild nine million tons of coal. Production is expected to tri ple within 6-8 years with several electric power companies begin ning plants using coal-fired boilers. If all electric generating plants in Texas were converted to lignite-fuel boilers the estimated 20 billion tons of near surface resources in the state would supply all of Texas’ current electricity needs for three cen turies. The deep basin resources are in excess of 100 billion tons. With the energy equivalent of just over 214 barrels of crude oil per ton of lignite, the state’s resources are 20 times the proven crude reserves in Texas and 16 times the proven natural gas reserves.

Glazener, head of the Senate bill is to limit term of FBI director WASHINGTON (AP) — The Se nate passed a bill Monday to limit the director of the FBI to a single, 10-year term. The vote was 70 to 0. The measure is intended both to protect the FBI director from undue pressures by his superiors and to prevent him from becoming too independent or autocratic. Under present law, there is no limit on how long the director may serve. The late J. Edgar Hoover served as FBI director from 1924 until his death in 1972. Department of Engineering Tech nology.
