Conclusion

Results of this creative & simple experiment clearly and successfully establish that:

  • Ethanol, is a low-cost, renewable and environmentally friendly fuel, that can be made using natural resources.
     
  • Ethanol can be produced at different temperatures by anaerobic respiration - an environmentally friendly process that does not use oxygen or result in releasing poisonous gases during the manufacturing process itself.
     
  • Qualitative and quantitative data provided establish the true economic and environmental value of ethanol production for our planet.
     
  • The principles of energy conservation, energy transfer and movement of energy explain and support the experimental data. Stated as the Laws of Thermodynamics by Joules, Clausius, Nerst & Planck more than a century ago, they pave the way for mankind to become 'naturally resourceful'!
