Re: Butanol
While I like the idea of folks "picking up after others", it kind-a sort-a lacks sustainability. Like the bio-diesel idea when restaurant grease is the primary oil source.
Cool, I just did a quick mental estimation of the 1000 lb, and you computed 1250 lb (That makes me smile) My daughter will appreciate the nesting sites you leave standing.
Ceramic huh? High temperature insulation? Need more data. If money is no object, then blow the spheres with pure oxygen gas, evacuate reasonably well (<10mm Hg), sputter a primer into the cavity, and seal a nugget of magnesium or calcium into the cavity. Seal it up, then heat & tumble. The metal will coat the inside and act as a getter for the O2 gas. Sounds a bit over the top to me though. Especially for insulation... I like rock wool.
