Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed 839
guacamolefoo writes "CNN reports that researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a small (2 ft. high) hydrogen reactor that turns ethanol into hydrogen and then uses a fuel cell to turn the hydrogen into electricity. It notably does not use fossil fuels in the process. I knew that liquor would save us all some day."

That's easy: drink enough that you can't see. That way, it doesn't matter that the lights don't work.

Hehe...even if they don't make ethanol for fuel, the mere fact that real Mardi Gras celebrations kick off this weekend through Fat Tuesday here in NOLA will create a pretty good spike in all alcohol sales...

I could, if I put my mind to it.
Really what I want to do is make a first slice of toast, then iron that slice while toasting a second slice

In the town where I study we have a marmelade plant [zentis.de]. When the wind changes a bit it blows right to my house and the air smells like honey!
Sorry, I just had to rub that in!

Every iron I've ever seen has a thermostat of some sort, so you can leave it on without it getting too hot. My mom sews, and often leaves her iron on for 6 hours at a time (she is using it often in that time), and you can hear the clicks as the heater turns off and on.
