M'kay. Lemme see now...



You want to make hydrocarbons from oxycarbons.



Where is the hydrogen going to come from? How will you crack the hydrogen from its chemical prison? How will you split the oxygen from the carbon in the first place? And how will you bind the relevant chemicals together so as to create the needed cetanes?



And can you do all this in any sort of economically plausible manner?

Wot's a cetane?

As for the rest, simply break up one oxygen atom into eight hydrogen atoms, save the excess neutrons as neutronium, and live on the interest! I'm sure the zero-point energy of the other oxygen atom can be used to catalyze the reaction. And the excess gamma radiation can charge your cell-phone batteries!

Any questions, I'll be down in engineering working on the phaser controls.

Hmmm...I wonder...

I found a bunch of old lead piping and plumbing fixtures from when the house was 'converted' to copper plumbing. I wonder if the OP has something that can turn it into gold for me...
