Although it's a week late, I have done as we agreed to. http://www.phyco.org/phyco/index.php/ Glycerine_to_Ethanol_Research_Proposal I ask for comments on...
Hi all, I'm new to the group here... As a molecular biologist, back in early 2004 I was seriously studying the algae biodiesel issue, doing all of the same...
... Well, first you can collect all the carbon you like by using a gasifier to burn wood and debris, then tapping that exhaust by bubbling it through water to...
That's all well and good, but C is in short supply from the standpoint of these plans ever being viable as alternative energy sources. Even if you're taking...
These are good ideas, I've studied calcium carbonate before as well. There's the issue of solubility with that, but carbonate minerals are a possibility if you...
... Unless there is a low-energy synthesis route to ammonium bicarbonate, the energy required to manufacture ammonia is high enough that I suspect this would...
Then dissolving N and CO2 in water must be the solution. Both N and CO2 will dissolve better in water under the following conditions: 1. Greater pressure. 2....
Re the CO2 debate.. In my test tank I have a bubble stone underneath an inverted funnel, which is just raised off the tank floor. The "spout" of the funnel ...
Hi , my name is Tom . I became interested in algae as a fuel sourse about 10 years ago . I came across the research of Melvin Calvin at UC Berkeley . I have 2...
Thomas, I agree with you. I'm also new to the group and haven't had a chance to read the entire forum and all the links and leads yet. What I haven't seen, or...
Eduardo, here's a good site for the chemical interactions with the culture's environment: http://www.jochemnet.de/fiu/bot4404/BOT4404_4.html I believe ethanol...
... I recall seeing the empirical formula for arthrospira platensis some time ago but haven't been able to locate it since. There should be empirical formulae...
Krystal Planet intends to: 1. Convert the world to clean power. 2. Eliminate dependence on imported fossil fuels. 3. Help people save $15-150 per month on...
Marc, please see this link. Perhaps you should put this article on your watchlist; I replied to this a few days ago. http://www.phyco.org/phyco/index.php/ ...
I think a centrifuge would be a very useful tool. If used with a homogenizer, could this setup be used to separate useful materials from either algae or...
Hello, listmates. I have created an article on Phyco.org concerning the yield and potential profit of an industrial-sized photobioreactor system, with the...
If this person were to create an ultra-efficient strain of algae, it could perhaps be used in raceways in third-world countries to greater efficiency. At the...
... http://easilyamazed.com/blog/2005/10/good-news-about-alternative-energy.html ... I'm about 3 hours south of detroit. I did here that chrysler was building...
John, (Belated reply about CellPharm and nitrogen starvation.) Thanks for finding the reference to CellPharm. I had admired this system earlier, but was...
John, Pleurochrysis Carterae is confusing. It has, in all the cases I am aware of, been found inland ( one was an estuary). However, each of these cases...
