A nuclear reactor is a man made device in which nuclear chain ractors are initiated, controlled, then sustrined at a steady rate. As long as the nuclear reactions are maintained at a steady rate the risk for explosion is realtively small. Unlike a nuclear bomb whose explosion comes from the chain raction, and being uncontrolled and sustained causing a massive explosion.

The most significant use for nuclear energy is for the generation of electrical power and to power some ships and submarines. The nuclear energy these ships require are made from heat and steam from the nuclear reaction power stream.

Now that you know what methanol is, one limited use for methanol is in automotive fuel. Internal combustion engines, mainly  by virture of the fact that is it not nearly as falmmable as gasoline.

Pure methanol is required by rule to be used in USAC sprint cars, midgets, modifieds, etc etc, other dirt track series and Champcars.

Methanol is also known as wood alcohol, wood naptha, wood spirits, or methyl alcohol. Methanol is a colorless liquid that is highly combustible and volitale if not handled with cauton. Methanol is highly posionous with a extremely disctinc odor that is somewhat milder and sweeter then ethanol.

Methanol at room temperture is a polar liquid that is used as an antifreeze, solvent, an alternative fuel to gasoline for cars, and is also used in the transesterification reaction for biodiesel.

Methane Hydrate or sometimes also referred to as methane ice and methane calthrate, is a solid form of water that contains a large amount of methane within itself. Methane Hydrate was originally thought to be only available at the far reaches of our solar system where tempertures are low, and water ice is common, recently significant amounts of the methane ice have been uncovered in under the sediments on ocean floors.

The methane gas from these ice deposits is similar to the methane produced when garbage decomposes. Capturing the gas, and filtering it thru a pipeline to production facilites is a difficult task due to the extreme depths of the gas, and the pressure at the bottom of the ocean floors.

E85 Ethanol has no harm on non-flex fuel engines. a independant study recently found that using E85 in your cars engine wether it is made for E85 or not. Most car manufactuers won’t cover any fuel over E10 how ever.
