Craig!  Thanks for making your ideas happen. A friend of mine, Dana Andrews, challenged me to make a home fuel maker that fit in the bed of a pick-up and it...
Very interesting comments David, does the transesterification process tip the balance in energy efficiency? Would it be better to use the oil straight? I'm...
... Not really. The way it's usually done takes a gallon of methanol for five of biodiesel, and throws away the energy value in the glycerin. One of the nice...
David I talked to a single cylinder diesel engine producer that told me they tested a diesel engine that run SVO by heating the oil with the waste heat. He...
... It depends on the engine you want to fuel, the oil that you have to burn, and the conditions you have around you. Biodiesel will gel at a considerably...
David do you have a pic of your system online somewhere? Â ... From: David Miller <riley_4_prez@...> Subject: Re: [oil_from_algae] evercat six second...
Here in Wyoming, to run biodiesel year round, I'd have to have a heated system, or burn diesel at a higher annual rate than I do using diesel for heat up and...
Hi Tony, Did you get an answer on the cost per gallon? I think that making their promo based on 30k gallons per acre is disingenuous. It would be nice if they...
David, The Elsbett kit that I helped install on a TDI was a single tank system. (Reality note - I was only giving minor help to a factory technician - mainly...
...and I call that BS just as I called their previous claims of being able to attain 100K and 50K gpa per year BS. ~15K gpa per year is the absolute physical...
Ron, What kind of logic or evidence do you base this 15,000 gallon pa pyr limit on? His vertical reactors are 10 ft high. There have got to be at least 20...
David, From my reading and research I believe that to safely run on SVO you need an older engine design with the precombustion chambers in the head. that way...
David, From the Lister Ad (Listernoid)...SVO with #1 diesel added to reduce viscosity aka kerosene I think this is from the 2005 ad... you can also use a...
Bill, It is true that the old Mercedes engines with precombustion chambers are much more flexible about what you can feed them. With a properly done...
Just so there is no confusion. Using a "blend" (50% diesel, 50% vegoil) isn't valid replacement for a heated system. A blend is a mix, not a chemical change...
a= Look at your own logic. If trees are not capable of super growth compared to other plants, then that discredits the "tall fractal collector" argument by...
SAM, THE PROBLEM IS POLAR AND NONEPOLAR..B.BRAUNII SAMPLES WORKED VERY WELL BUT IT IS #1 DIESEL NOT #2 OR #3 USED IN THE TEST. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO NOT...
Hello fellow Algaeites,  Here are a couple devices I found recently that could aid in oil/water separation. The designs look easy enough to duplicate to...
Did you look at the link I provided? Or do a search on "efficiency of photosynthesis"? Plants can only use light in the 400-700 nm wavelength range for ...
RON, FROM WHAT I KNOW ABOUT LED'S AND RED ALGAE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN USE THE BEST PVC'S TO CAPTURE THE ENERGY FROM LIGHT THAT ALGAE CAN NOT USE AND CONVERT IT...
Hi guys, I do have a few questions regarding a mix of 20% and 80% WVO (well filtered and centrifuged, water free): Can I use this in my Toyota Prado 3L diesel,...
Ron, Â Yes I looked at your link. I even book marked it. It said something about 6.6% being the theoretical limit for what ever type of land based plant life...
Gerhard, Well it is hard to compare an older design direct injection one-cylinder Lister with a Toyota Prado.. The oil used to test was cotton seed oil..very...
They look fabable I think the screens on the highland could be made up from radiator core. Everything else stock size pipes and or drums. Ken ... From: Ryan...
... As I posted earlier, both of these hypotheses are FALSE. a= 2/3 of the new mass is NOT from CO2 in the atmosphere. Where in the world did you hear that? ...
... The reason so many people are hard of listening/thinking/etc. when it comes to these limits is that there is this underlying problem with the oil from...
