So we're back to boiling the Womble then.

That's so last year.

Using the used tea bags would be in keeping with the Ethos of bio diesel as it would be bio methanol.
only if we used fairtrade organic tea. that would of course raise eyebrows at the local organic stall at the farmers market when you turn up with a wheelbarrow and explain you need to feed your nuclear reactor.

They make it sound so hard. You only need a few plastic bottles, some string, plastic pipe, twisty cable(assorted colours to make it look less home made). Wood for the frame work. And what looks like a kettle. This is obviously for water cooling and making the tea to help with the methanol production side of things. They also speak of a video camera. This is very important as we need to be able to see when we reach critical from behind the wind break and also to post the results on here afterwards.

Womble will, in full tradition, take cover behind a fuel can for protection.

As a side note, I've always fancied building a Fusor

a friend of mine made one. the difficult part is creating a decent vacuum and maintaining it. i have a vacuum pump and a diff pump if anyone want s to try. you need a a cheap source of silicone oil and fittings. the heater on the diff pump needs replacing. £100 for both.
 his fusor was chucked in the skip at uni but i think he rescued it. may even still have it. could try and find out if anyone is serious about it.
