Sounds like they are measuring what is called the Secchi depth. Still learning ... bob...

I'm thinking that you'd need to measure the PAR to normalize the results for variations in solar input. ie. cloudy days, different latitudes etc. I see us...

I believe that your wiki description is confusing input radiation sensor and the algae biomass sensor requirements. Let me see if I can clarify things. Using...

Bobby-- I did not know there was a difference; I thought (at the time, it was late) that's what fluorometers did, measure PAR. Now I realize they measure...
Hello, There are so many unknown or difficult to quantify variables that can affect production of lipids in a given batch that I believe it would be very...
Bob, I feel you are going to get confusing results if you jump directly to the amount of oil. I feel you need to measure the number of cells per volume. This...

Dear listmates, I finally got around to scanning and posting to Files a section in Burlew(1953) that I think deserves attention. It relates to the saturation...
James, I hope we can end up with a simple system for the backyard. But to know what to do, we have to research the alternatives. If we can improve the oil ...
... IMO two additional instruments seem essential to algal research: a spectrometer and a chromatograph. A spectrometer can tell every element that exists in a...
I have not yet looked at your article, however, on the subject of maximum light exposure, I'm in the process of moving certain bits of knowledge around on the...
Ed, Are you proposing that each researcher have both a chromatograph and a spectrometer? Wouldn't your other idea that a club could own them and the...
Agreed. However, at some point we'll have to connect this work through to the next stage in the biodiesel process which is the extraction of the oil....

Eni, an italian oil corporation, is developing a project using algae to obtain biodiesel. Maybe someone should get in contact with its leader: Paola Maria...

Bobby, IMO researchers will need a variety of instruments and equipment. Moreover, the needs of an individual may change from time to time. However, some...
At risk of going off topic slightly this debate reminds me of the famous Kremer prize for man powered flight that was proposed in the late 1950's but ...

You make several good points. Two important ones are evinced by McCready using a simple test to determine if a part could be made lighter, if a part did not...
Hi, I've been on the list for a while... one of the many lurkers. Anyway, I uploaded two links to the site. One of them is for an algae database. The other...
James, No one is suggesting building a one square meter raceway for practical use. The raceways would be much larger. Those are probably test items. Bobby ... ...

Hi friends Some cross-polination may come in handy: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/if-wms - experts we might contact. I don't know if this has been shared...
Then we are talking business: Which is the size for a starter raceway? Which is the expected productivity for the algae? Which algae is able to produce the...
Conductivity measurement sounds promising. How does one calibrate a conductivity meter, when measuring an algal/nutrient solution? In other words, is there a...
