G-Oil: Biodegradable, Environmentally Safe Motor Oils
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008
With lawn and garden season fast approaching, it’s time to fire up the garden polluters, and by that I mean the tools powered by two-stroke engines. Luckily, Green Earth Technology has developed its new line of Green Oil, a “Green alternative” to your regular motor oil. Green Earth Technology makes their G-Oils from American-grown base oil that’s “enhanced with the power of nanotechnology and dehydrogenation”.
G-Oil contains bio-additives such as amino acids, plant and vegetable extracts, non-ionic surfactants, and plant-based fatty acids in a base of colloidal micelles. It all adds up to produce a range of oils that’ll work in anything from your lawn mower to your heavy-duty turbocharged and super-charged diesel.















We’ve received quite a bit of email (and even some comments) requesting additional coverage of industrial tools and waterjet machining in particluar. So, we went looking for a friendly “waterjet expert” to introduce us (and you) to the technology.
It’s hurricane season again, and whether you’re on the coast or inland, you’re likely to see the effects of these storms first-hand. With that in mind, we’ve prepared a three-part series to help you get a grip on the tools that can help you weather the storm.
You can’t turn on the Discovery channel anymore without seeing someone welding, and we’ve received a number of requests from readers asking for more coverage of the subject. So, ask and you shall receive: we did some research and discovered that it’s a lot easier to get started welding than in years past. Flux-Core and even MIG welders are easily within the range of the beginner, and offer the ability to quickly reach a point in the learning curve where you can build some fun projects.
This week our old cordless drill died, and it’s time for a replacement. But with so many new technologies and so many almost (but not quite) identical units on the market, selecting a cordless drill/driver can be challenging. Gone are the days where there were only two drills on the shelf to choose from; your average Home Depot stocks over 40 of them!
