The Big Bed Company say:
“Beds are tailored in 24 different sizes, from standard singles and doubles, up to a staggering 8’ feet wide and 7’3” long, and bigger. Customers are offered the opportunity to choose the exact size and style of bed, mattress, and bed linen to suit.
A wide range of finishes are available - from leather, natural wood, faux suede, ironwork, divans, or fully upholstered with coordinating headboards. Luxury bed linens and handcrafted exclusive accessories are also offered.”

The essence of the Efuel 100 is that it claims to be able to create sufficient ethanol from sugar, yeast and water plus some good old household 110-220 AC current to power your car. If you own your own bar, you might even save a buck or two by refining discarded alcohol to create dirt cheap ethanol for as little as $0.10 per gallon.
