June of 2007
We were in Soto de la Vega with the lieutenant mayor of
the Town Hall, Lorenzo Callejo. In his own nave and
using organic wastes from domestic rubbish and other
organic residues we started the unusual elaboration of
Francisco Angulo's fuel.
Apart from the organic residues, we have got a receptacle
and a drill with an adaptation to beat and grind the
mixture. This is enough! You must add water to the
mixture to make casier the trituration of the residues.
Finally, the product of bacteria and yeast is added to the
mixture to conclude the process and the content is left to
settle in beakers.
The result was that in fact it worked. Not only in Nice's
vehicle but also was proved in a tractor with identical
15
results. The governement equipment prepared the act and
convoked the media:
The purpose of this communication is to invite him
personally to the event that will take place next Saturday
28th of July at 18:00 hours in the Culture House of this
Town Hall in Soto de la Vega.
It's a reaffirmation act against the enviromental
contamination produced by fossil fuels. As we know,
several interventions have been done and we want to
contribute, from the Town Hall, doing one's bit.
Through our recent created New Technologies Council we
want to promote I+D+i projects developing plans to get it
and promoting initiatives that we consider interesting. By
this reason, we sponsor the presentation of the novel ‘The
Relic’ written by Francisco Angulo Lafuente, where he
exposes his patent to the extration of ecological fuel from
organic residues obtained from domestic rubbish. We
would be before an alternative that, besides contributing to
the enviromental non-contamination, would mean a first
step to the solution to the problems derived of the
accumulation of the waste that are produced in our
villages and towns.
The original complement that we have prepared for the
presentation of ‘The Relic’ is a practical demostration of
the patent, by means of an usual diesel vehicle and a
tractor in which some small modifications have been done
for its correct working with the said ecological fuel.

The act celebrated in Soto de la Vega was very successful
because of its participation and publicity. Apart from
meaning two different moments: before and after the
culmination of the ups and downs of life, that have been
making uneasy Francisco his life for several years. On the
one hand, this understable: and anonymus young man who
turns up before institutions and enterprises to expose in a
very little time a project which, at first sight, can be
considered as a sciencie-fiction one, and obviously these
weren't the most propicious circumstances. The fact that
an official organitation, as a town hall, supported the
public demostration of the viability and working of
ECOFA, and the large echo that it had in all media, as
provincial as in other communities, like Castilla-La
Mancha television, or even National tv stations like the
report made by España Directo, was the starting signal for
the short race that had started several months ago, since a
lot of companies are showing that are interested, and
certainly there will be one which decides to implicate
economically in the project and develop the suitable line
17
of investigations to optimize process in order to get its
future world commercialization.
However, it hasn't been easy because to land in the
scientifit ortodoxya against the heuristics that this
discovery supposes and in the stormy one of investors,
mediators and finantial brokers. Where there are a big
‘faune’ of characters with unknown interest and intentions,
sincerely it has propitiated to write this novel which from
this moment will be a binnacle of adventures.
