How to Make Ethanol

i would like to know more about producing ethanol with the machinery

you people are retarded! we need to start thinking about other alternative fuels made from corn and new cellulosic technologies.

what are the other fermenting agents aside from yeast?

This might sound stupid, but I want to know why I can't simply mix sugar, yeast and water together to make alcohol.

i would love to learn how to make ethanol but it burns to quickly in a gasoline car and you have to buy more gas at the pump so whats the point of getting ethanol?? and all i want to do is make like 1 gallon or 1/2 gallon of ethanol how can i do that the only alternative to gas is a Hybrid car and it use a little to no pollution at all and using pure energy is not going green at all cuz u need to charge it like using pure batteries u need to charge it u pluge it in to somthing and that something has to get it energy from some were and that some were use fossil fule or some other fuel so just ride ur bike people its much greener then any other car bus or any alternitve fuel
