Bobby, It seems you are talking about GreenFuel Technologies on MIT http://www.greenfuelonline.com There seems to be a new development as it can be seen on ...

Yep, that's the one. The discussion sounds a bit better than the website looks eh? HE may be a bit egotistical.. lol. The point is though that the low...
Sakvador, Thanks. I had forgotten the name of the company at MIT. The Ohio one sounds much too high tech and expensive to be cost effective. But he may develop...
What I don't really get about the CO2 sequestering schemes is that if you utilize the algae oil as a fuel you won't have sequestered any CO2 at all. If you use...

The "sequestered Co2" is in replacement to using fossil fuels, who's C02 is already sequestered. Think of it as more a recyling system rather than adding to...
I've seen this argument before, and I've seen it go around in circles for quite some time...my take on it is this: 1) Technically you're right - you aren't...
Bob, I feel that the light system will be outrageously expensive for the oil produced. They are talking about a two dimensional tracking system, polished ...
Bob, I like to think in terms of extreme cases in order to understand the effect on the overall system. Imagine that we could wave our magic wand and change ...
Sigh...I only wish there were environmentalists complaining about my algae-oil car. ... Well, we're straying a bit from algae farming, but - could this ...
Oops - correction below. Also - if you want a cost effective way to grow algae in Canada, a greenhouse, specifically, a Solaroof greenhouse, is probably the...
about a 1/4 tea spoan out over 11 lb not to good and that with a 60 t ram . So will grain ethanol pull it out if can i will build a small condenser with grain...
These people are making coal. For more technical details see: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/join -- Toward freedom, Bobby Yates Emory...
James, I don't remember, but I don't think it was ethanol. I would find out what the researchers have used and buy a small quantity of it. If you get a ...
I absolutely agree with Rob. Look at it like this. If you want to loose wieght by going on a diet it is very impractical to follow one that says you will reach...
Rick, there are a couple of questions i have with the solaroof approach in conjunction with algae production. I have to admit i have not read up on any...
You are correct about the three layers and two cavity spaces; the interior cavity is provided for the optimizing of the liquid cooling/chilling process and the...
Caution -- Rick is talking about what he hopes will happen, not what he has tested. As far as I know, no one has ever eaten algae oil. Some algae species are...
Yes, caution is appropriate and I would not want to see anyone suffer from consuming any algae culture or byproducts where there is not certainty that this...
James, I found this in another context, but I think the "standard" thing to use is hexane. I think it is a research chemical and will be hard to get and ...
Rick, So - called spirulina is widely available as a food supplement. A large plant in SC is growing spirulina to extract DHA to put in baby formula. Many ...
hexane is bad to handale i want to thy to get where any one can do it on a small lot.that piss bush jr off i dont think the bushs and frends want to loose the...

James, I understand that you want to develop a more user friendly process, both for you own benefit and for others. You had expressed disappointment at the ...

Bobby, Sorry to correct you. Omega 3 (oil) form algae is being used to enrich foods. For example: http://www.umassmag.com/Winter_2005/Algae_a_la_Mode_827.html ...
Right, I am aware of many examples of algae supplements and algae in food (ask at your local health food store) and most of these are harvested from lakes....
Let's focus then. Which is the best alga to start with? I am not an expert, I just read from many sources. It seems the lipid content of spirulina biomass is ...
