E85 or "pure" Ethanol (you can't get completely pure as it will suck water out of the air!)
Then how is that guy producing E100 and burning it for energy?

Ethanol is just Ethyl Alcohol, or more commonly referred to as "Moonshine"

One of the classes in my school (BSAA) is making E100, and I think they might Denature it for the use as a fuel (and so you can't really drink it...) But I'm pretty sure E85 isn't Pure ethanol, as its 15 percent gasoline, and E100 is used as fuel today. just not good in engines not built for it.
