Biodiesel Day

Today we made our biodiesel to use for our boats later! It was really cool to think that we were Making fuel that works in cars. All we had to do was take oil (either from chick-fil-a or corn oil) and add KOH in an E. Flask with a stir bar in it. Then we put it in a water bath and let it heat and stir for 20-30 minutes. It was surprising that that was the basic process for making biodiesel. After it was done, we put it into a cup and let it sit overnight. Tommorrow we will take off the glycerol fat and leave the good biodiesel to use later. My partner and I were 1/4 groups between all the classes to use corn oil instead of the Chick-fil-a oil.
