Fuel gel

Abstract

The invention is a fuel medium. The medium is in a gel state and consists entirely of material from vegetable matter in combination with alcohol, primarily ethanol, although other low carbon alcohol may be used in combination with some water. This blend is made into a gel by the addition of Methyl Hydroxyl Propyl Cellulose (MHPC). When spilled, the gel is biodegradable and not harmful to the environment. During combustion the gel is smokeless, without soot, devoid of noxious gas emissions, non-carcinogenic and non-corrosive. The gel form makes for ease of packaging, as fuel for suitable cooking and barbeque / fire lighter units, and the reduction of ash makes for easy maintenance of these units. Ease of packaging makes the product easy to transport, thereby offering flexibility of use. The low cost of production, due to the efficacy of the MHPC, makes the present invention affordable to low-income earners.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cooking fuel media, and more particularly to fuel media in a gel state. [0002] The Disclosure portion of this patent document contains material that is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the reproduction of any patent document or patent specification as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office files or records, and otherwise reserves all rights whatsoever. Background technique [0003] In order to survive and maintain a healthy life, there are certain human needs that must be fulfilled on a daily basis. Dietary items classified as foods, including cooked and raw foods, are one such need. Food requires some fuel reagent to raise the temperature to a level where all living organisms in the food are killed and eventually the food is cooked. But in many parts of the world, even today, electricity and solid or liquid fuels, the most traditional methods of cooking food, are unav...

But not only is electricity generation, storage, and transportation an expensive public utility, but since electricity generation is often associated with waterfalls, countries without perennial waterfalls, rivers, or facilities to control such natural resources are cannot generate electricity

Even a country like Canada with such a natural and almost perennial resource as Niagara Falls charges residents living in the outer provinces of Ontario a fraction of the cost compared to residents living in the interior of Ontario. more, because electricity is sometimes more expensive to store and transport than to generate
