Cool Fuel
Cool fuel pioneers: 16,000 miles of American road and not a drop of gas
By Alexandra Lambrinidis
Australian adventurer and television personality Shaun Murphy came to America to prove that there are alternatives to gasoline and diesel, and the result was a one-of-a-kind “cool fuel” road trip.
An 18-part TV series, Cool fuel Roadtrip debuted this past fall on UPN and follows Murphy, his Jack Russell terrier sidekick Sparky and the Cool fuel crew as they set off on an incredible journey to conquer 16,000 miles of American road using nothing but biodiesel and other fuels. “A Cool fuel is anything besides gasoline,” Murphy explained. “You can grow it, squeeze it, fry it, heat it up or catch it. Heck, you can even eat it!” By using 12 of the coolest fuel sources he could get his hands on, Murphy crossed 30 states on 30 different vehicles including cars, motorcycles, boats and even an airplane in order to tackle the “no gas” challenge.
“The cool thing is most of the fuel we've used is being produced today on American farms,” said Murphy of the different fuels that got him across the country, particularly biodiesel, Murphy’s most precious resource. Able to run in any diesel engine, he took full advantage of biodiesel. He used it to power a boat through the Orcas Islands to the Canadian border. From Los Angeles to San Francisco, Calif., he used it to fuel a 32-foot Hummer H1 stretch limousine that hit 75 miles per hour. For kicks, he took a spin around a track in a 125 mph biodiesel dragster. Whenever Murphy couldn’t find a clean source of electricity to power his electric vehicles, it was biodiesel to the rescue; he’d just plug into a biodiesel-fueled generator for the quick fix that would get him another 40 miles or so down the road.
Made of everything from soybeans to vegetable oil, and increasingly available across the United States, biodiesel was the Cool fuel crew’s lifeblood. "Biodiesel is the single fuel that made the TV production possible,” Murphy explained. “Our production crew charged camera batteries, computers and lights via our biodiesel-powered generator, and our RV, which we lived and produced the TV series in, ran on B100 for 16,000 miles.”
Murphy made use of some more creative fuels as well. Cow manure that produced electricity powered an array of electric bikes. Hempoline (a mix of hemp oil and ethanol) powered a truck that has a helicopter jet turbine for an engine. Fresh beignets and crawfish were fed into the gasifier of a green Hummer. Corn whiskey (100 percent ethanol) powered Murphy through the air across Iowa in a 1982 Mooney 201 airplane. The sun helped him knock off some miles by powering a solar canoe across gator-infested Lake Okeechobee in Florida. Vegetable oil—straight from the fryer—powered Murphy all through Texas.

Everyone named Jim Smith meets up for Jim Smith Fun Fest
"Jim Smith says he's never met a Jim Smith he didn't like. And he's met more than most people. That's because the 71-year-old is in Pittsburgh for the four-day Jim Smith Society Fun Fest which runs through Sunday, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Friday.
The society was formed in 1969 by a local Jim Smith to celebrate one of the most common names in the U.S. Today, the group boasts about 1,900 members.
About two dozen Jim Smiths plan to go sightseeing and visit Pittsburgh museums.
They're also holding a golf tournament on Friday to kick off the festivities.
To join the Jim Smith Society potential members must, naturally, be named Jim Smith, but even this rule is flexible. Two women, both named Jimmy Anne Smith, have joined. Jamie also is an acceptable name."
LOL!!!! This cracks me up! "Jim Smith says he's never met a Jim Smith he didn't like. And he's met more than most people. That's because the 71-year-old is in Pi... more -
