Arizona Synthetic Fuels and Mogollon Brewing Co. (Making Methanol)

It's not shown here, so I'll mention that methanol is used to make biodiesel.  Now, if you take that facility for making methanol and combine it with growing sunflowers and pressing out the oil, you can make biodiesel.




The video above goes with the video below. It shows how the methanol is made.






home oil press, make oil at home

Looks like it can be used to make cooking oil.  Was thinking of using it to make small amounts of biodiesel.

Larger amounts?  Check this.

Starting with 7, the playlist takes over.  Prior to that, each of the videos is just one video.

Got your goat?

The third animal for an urban farm is dwarf goats.

Raising Ducks

That's the other animal that I couldn't remember.  Chicken, ducks, and dwarf goats.  Here's some duck videos.

How to raise chickens

That fella that started his own urban homestead has a website up and there's interesting stuff on it.  But they really don't teach you how to do anything.  That gave me an idea to go on YouTube and compile a few how-to videos to show how it is done.

The fella mentioned his dwarf goats, chickens, and maybe one other animal I can't think of at this time.  I can go back later and get that info.  He grows everything for his own table and even sells some of his stuff.

Anyway, here's a couple guys who are raising chickens.  The first two videos show raising chickens for eggs.  He also has a lot of other videos as well.  Maybe there will be a time to check that out.  And the second few videos shows how to raise them for meat.

How about that for some "creative destruction"?  By the way, there are lots of videos like this on YouTube.
