<Imagine if you have gone to Brazil and started making those concoctions there!!! Today you'd have a stree name, a statue in the small town...> The only Kiwi I know who went to Brazil has a tombstone named after him. I'm happier to be unknown in NZ thanks. The MSFT of the fuel world would be the company who can come up with a zeolite catalyst to convert gas to gasoline in a single step. Mobil in New Zealand had a gas to gasoline process, but it went through an intermediate methanol step and was too inefficient to be economic. The methanol was more valuable than the gasoline at one time. BP bought Sohio and a guy there was a zeolite chemist. He told me he decided to become a crude oil trader because of the salary, perks and status. There is too much contempt for the geeks of the world. Accountants and lawyers and politicians etc think they should rule the world. Engineers and scientists tend to be underpaid despite them producing the seriously large value, albeit only from time to time. If he had come up with a zeolite catalyst that could efficiently make gasoline from methane, that would have been worth a LOT of money. Trading crude oil is just being a glorified barrow boy, albeit more profitable. My Graviton Spin Reversal System GSRS [TM] will be even better, but my prototype still has a few glitches to overcome.
