E-Fuel Corp has a patent-pending technology they are releasing in a product called the EFuel100 MicroFuelerâ„¢. The product is advertised as making "home ethanol distillation possible, cost-effective, and safe." This personal ethanol machine uses sugar to produce the ethanol. The sugar comes in 50Lb bags and can be delivered to your door or you can buy yeast if you have your own sugar supply.

The MicroFueler is supposed to be available by end of 2008 and lists at $9,995. With a federal tax credit - for units purchased and installed in the U.S. - the federal government offers business owners a 30% tax rebate and individual non-business owners a $1,000 rebate. The micro-refinery takes 5 to 7 days to product 35 gallons of ethanol. The device weigh's roughly 200 pounds (when empty), with a light weight design that uses ultra-tough polyurethane.

Thomas Quinn is the founder and chief executive of Los Gatos-based E-Fuel Corp. Mr. Quinn has four successful start-up companies under his belt, including Gyration, Inc., which is the patent holder of the Nintendo Wii controller.
