Greetings autoduellists. Stan Johansen Miniatures has released Road
Rage, a new, great-looking automotive combat game. Road Rage includes
fast-playing rules for simulating events from the movie Death Race.
Road Rage uses Roads 2 Nowhere, fantastic geomorphic road sections from
Scrying Eye Games.
Z-Man Games is releasing a modified version of Road-Kill Rally by
August Games next month. The game will have streamlined rules, plastic
cars and plastic pedestrians.
Battletruck, known as Warlords in the 21st Century in the U.S., is
finally being released on DVD. The movie will be available this summer.
If you have not done so, please check out Klaus Breuer's Car Wars
Vehicle Designer. The program is packed full of useful features. Klaus
wants to improve his program but needs feedback from autoduellists.
Until next month, Drive Offensively!

Attached is a .ZIP file with the duel report forms for two of today's
autoduels under Axles & Alloys 2. If attaching .ZIP files is
inconvenient for you, then just tell me and I'll knock it off.
We also had three races (sword-and-shield-style death races)
today. However, with only three participants they're ineligible
for WADA points (last I hear, anyway). Also, I loused up the
scoring for the races. Turned out that the path to victory lead
not to the finish line, but to the foe's rear quarter panel. Not
a single lap was completed. I'd like to pretend they never
happened at all, but Andreas Burr was clever enough to see immediately
how to come out on top. Wouldn't be right do deny him his
wins. I just need to set better ground rules next time.

Hello, Michael.
We at the HRGG had another game of A&A this past weekend. Instead
of another racetrack or Car Wars-ish "arena" layout I tried for
something a little less paved. Check the pictures I sent. It's nothing
too fancy, but it served.

The hills are from two inch thick upholstery foam. It's great
because I can squeeze a bunch into my gym bag without crunching it like
rigid insulation type foams. The streams and ponds are scraps
of a protective film peeled off new plexiglass.
Rules wise, I treated the water as oil-slicks because I couldn't
remember if A&A had any specific rules about water. There
were some attempts at jumping the river. Those came after simply
driving across sent cars out of control. When the slipping cars
came to a stop, they became bullet magnets and quickly got dead.
Next time, a little less water on the table and hills a bit closer to
the streams to make the jumps easier (but not a sure thing). Oh,
and trees too. I'm sure I've got some around here, just need to
find 'em.

AUTODUELLING TECHNOLOGY TODAY
Making Oil in Minutes, Not Millennia
http://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/04/university-of-michigan-bio-oil
Chuck Squatriglia
Wired.com
April 30, 2010
Petroleum was formed by the compression and heating of biomass over
millennia. Chemical engineers at the University of Michigan hope to do
it in minutes.
They are applying heat and pressure on microalgae, exploring a method
to create affordable biofuel that could replace fossil fuels. They also
hope to use the byproducts of bio-oil production as feedstock for more
biofuel.
“The vision is that nothing would leave the refinery except oil.
Everything would get reused,” chemical engineering professor Phillip
Savage said in a statement. “That’s one of the things that makes this
project novel. It’s an integrated process. We’re combining
hydrothermal, catalytic and biological approaches.”
Savage and his team, funded by a $2 million National Science Foundation
grant, aren’t the only ones trying to make bio-petroleum. California
startup Sapphire Energy says it could produce 1 billion gallons of
algal fuel annually by 2025. Blue Marble Energy creates fuel using
algae found in polluted waters. Chevron has joined San Francisco
company Solazyme in developing algal jet fuel.
“This research could play a major role in the nation’s transition
toward energy independence and reduced carbon dioxide emissions from
the energy sector,” Savage said.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Such fuels are attractive because they are direct replacements for
petroleum and compatible with existing infrastructure. Proponents argue
such fuels are carbon neutral because the emissions created by burning
them are offset by the CO2 absorbed by the algae as it grows.
Although algal biofuels are feasible, there is some concern about the
quality of the refined product and its performance in cold
temperatures, said Spencer Quong, an automotive engineer and alt-fuels
expert with Quong and Associates. There also are questions about the
carbon-reduction benefits because obviously it requires energy to
produce and process the fuel.
“Just like when you are using a pressure cooker at home, their algae
pressure cooker needs to be heated and if they are using electricity or
natural gas to heat the system there will be carbon emissions that lead
to climate change,” said David Friedman, research director of the clean
vehicles program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Microalgae are, as the name suggests, microscopic algae. They break
down more easily than other biofuel feedstocks because their cell walls
aren’t as tough.
Algal fuel typically requires cultivating specific species of algae,
drying it and extracting its oil. The method Savage and his colleagues
are exploring uses less oily types of algae and eliminates the need to
dry the algae. That simplifies the process and clears big hurdles to
commercial scale production of algal fuels.
“We make an algae soup,” Savage said. “We heat it to about 300 degrees
and keep the water at high enough pressure to keep it liquid as opposed
to steam. We cook it for 30 minutes to an hour and we get a crude
bio-oil.”
Using high temperatures and pressure lets the algae react with water
and break down, releasing the native oil. Proteins and carbohydrates
within the algae also decompose, increasing the fuel yield.
“We’re trying to do what nature does when it creates oil, but we don’t
want to wait millions of years,” Savage said. “The hard part is taking
the tar that comes out of the pressure cooker and turning it into
something you could put in your car, changing the properties so it can
flow more easily, and doing it in a way that’s affordable.”
With that in mind, Savage and his colleagues are looking at using
catalysts to increase the energy density of the algal fuel. They also
hope to reduce its viscosity and cut its sulfur and nitrogen content.
The researchers clearly have a lot more work to do, and there many
unanswered questions about algal fuels. Can it be produced affordably?
Can it be made fast enough, and with minimal environmental impact?
“Until projects like this move out of the lab and into early
production, it will be hard to know how realistic their claims are,”
Friedman said. “That is why we need to keep supporting projects like
this over the long term. We need cleaner, domestically produced fuels,
but we should not expect miracles overnight. Developing technologies
like this take time and money.”

substance is perfect for medical procedures, because it's made of
