I am currently studing a BTeC Science diploma (which is basically high school science) in UK and I was asked this puzzling question by physics tutor. As I am have trouble search web sites I am hoping someone here might be able to give me an answer in everyday english not like web sites which involves a degree in quatium physics to understand. Please help me.

recorddeal asked:


I’ve researched and read online that by recycling 2 gallons of used motor oil, you can run a household’s electricity for 24 hours during the process of changing used motor oil into a usable lubricant
The question is How.
Not where to take it.
What is the process if I wanted to do it myself.
What is the procedure.
What are the steps.
