TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: (m1) Additionally involves selecting EDTA4 as the chelating agent. (p1) Additionally involves (a1) selecting the alcohol from methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, pentyl alcohol, hexanol, isobutyl alcohol, allyl alcohol, furfural, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol, ethylene diols, propylene diols, butylene diols, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, or polyols; (a2) selecting a low order alcohol selected from methanol and ethanol where the smokiness of the alcohol composition, used as a fuel, may be reduced; (a5) dipping the alcohol composition into a solvent consisting of cyanoacrylate monomer then coating the alcohol composition with cyanoacrylate; and (a6) forming an essentially cyanoacrylate shell on the alcohol composition. (p2) Additionally involves the step (a1); (b1) selecting the cyanoacrylate from methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylates; (b2) producing the alcohol composition as a water-free alcohol gel or as solid; (b3) adding dissolvable wax granules to the cyanoacrylate solvent where the solid forms with a smoother surface; the step (a5); and the step (a6). (p3) Additionally involves selecting the at least one acetone-structure-containing compound from pyridine, borate, bromocresol purple, amidoblack, or dimethylsulfoxide; and the steps (a1), (b1), (b2), (b3), (a5) and (a6). Preferred Composition: (c1) Additionally comprises a metal atom carried in solution by a chelating agent where the composition containing the metal complexes will burn with a characteristic color of the metal atom in a flame; and EDTA4-as the chelating agent.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - (p1) Additionally involves (a3) selecting the modified cellulose polymer from methyl cellulose polymer and carboxyl cellulose polymer; (a4) producing the alcohol composition as a solid or as a gel. (p2) And (p3) additionally involves the step (a3) EXAMPLE - Methyl alcohol (500 ml) was mixed with a suspension solution of methyl cellulose (30 g) and reacted with sodium hydroxide (0.01 g) and distilled water (10 ml) at 20degreesC and at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. To reduce smokiness of the resultant alcohol gel fuel, a low order alcohol, such as methanol was used. In order to color the flame as the gelled/solid fuel burns, ethylenediamminetetraacetate ion EDTA4 which would burn with a color was added to the reaction, which produced the gel/solid fuel. EDTA-metal complexes dissolved in an organic fluid and burned with the characteristic color of the metal atom in a flame.
