< 1 bushel of soybeans can create literally 5 gallons of biofuel >. Well that's interesting, but is it really factual? Let's be sceptical for a minute. A bushel of soybeans may weigh some 60 pounds or so (that happens to be the weight of a bushel of potatoes in a convenient reference, but it is probably pretty close). Five gallons of biofuel weigh about 35 pounds or so. That implies that the claimed w/w conversion efficiency of soybeans to biofuel is 58%, with no external energy source or other additions. That's nothing short of remarkable, to put it politely. Yes, I have read the letter on the company's website from the Cornell professor, saying that 20 pounds of dry soybeans appeared to result in 1.5 gallons of biofuel in an observed test. I do think, though, that a little more hard evidence would be nice to have before a person was to invest. Tony.
