 ...AND DON'T MISS OPTIMUS Technologies

The "Maximus" (we say) of biofuel research located at 4814 Penn Avenue. "The manufacturers of next-generation biofuel systems" (they say). Potaytoes or Patahtoes Optimus will demo how it's done with their "Vector System," a bolt on modular diesel to biofuel apparatus built specifically for commercial and industrial diesel engines.

Their goal is to provide clients with a seamless transition to renewable fuels that is the least disruptive to daily operations, cost effective and environmentally responsible. They claim to top anything Rudolph Diesel invented: "A few good ideas about 100 years ago." (And that's just for starters!)
You'll also meet their special guest Zero Fossil dedicated to the development of sustainable power generation systems that utilize the free energy around us...sun, wind, water, and even human power.
