Denatured alcohol exhibit plans at Jamestown Exposition
A denatured alcohol exhibit led by Dr. Charles F. Monroe at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition will showcase alcohol as a fuel heat and light source plus its industrial uses. Tests claim higher horsepower from properly built engines with alcohol, and lamps mimic gas-like brightness. The project, endorsed by the National Alcohol Association, aims to demonstrate economical production and domestically applicable applications, including power for pumps and farming tasks. The exhibit aligns with USDA and Department of Agriculture plans, highlighting potential as a gasoline substitute and a major domestic industry.
