The larger question to ask here, and since I just joined the list, I'll ask it, is: What's different about algae oil? Is it simple to get pure oil from algae...
The main difference with algae is that it potentially could generate all the oil we need without using too much land. The oil has to be processed somewhat to...
Is the algae -> separation -> drying -> oil extraction -> biodiesel conversion -> diesel engine the simplest end to end system we can conceive of for algae...
For those of you have read Clayton Christensen's Innovators Dilemma, you'll recognize that the real disruptive technology for biodiesel is the Straight ...
Does anyone know if heat from grow lights is as efficient as an electric furnace?Over wintering my strain of algae in my home seems to add humidity and reduce...
Well, in general, lighting your home is as efficient a way to heat it as an electric radiator. The electricity turns to light, which turns to heat, for the...
... I thought of that a while back. A dry powder will burn in a jet of compressed air. I sometimes start my pellet stove with dry coffee grounds. They burn...
Bill, What you say is true, but Bob asked does lead to a valuable point - even though it may take energy to keep the algae overwinter, the energy will, ...
Bob, I think we can eliminate the drying step and as Steve pointed out, use the oil without the bio-diesel step. Bobby ... -- Toward freedom, Bobby Yates Emory...
If it can be done with coal, why not a high lipid content algae? http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-81728 How big are the individual algae cells? bob...
Bob, Yes - the only reason virgin soy is used for biodiesel is because it is not needed as an edible fat. At some point that will dry up and the price of soy...
Thanks for the input,my humidifier still runs so I'm probably good on vapor loss.I've been raising algae since 1993 and supply a local tilapia grower with...

"certain research already under way elsewhere looking at the effects of *adding such things as algae to fuel to change its properties*, the college plans to...
Hi, According to our studies the major factor/risk is the production of the Algae itself. (A point much scientist seem to overlook) The rest, from Harvesting...
Rooswe, The Australian attempt I am aware of was very successful. (It ended because the research study for the guy's doctorate was complete. Bobby ... -- ...
Bill. (I think I answereed this - but in case I didn't.) The algae growing in OZ was not a farm, it was a University research project. It was shut down...
Rooswe. I agree, once the algae has been harvested, the subsequent steps are more or less proven. There are many possibilities, but they are mostly a matter of...
Some answers may lie within aquaculture and cranberry growing methods. As John stated, gravity would be great for moving water, but not always practical. The...
now, lm no expert at this and lm surely loving your discussion. Now, correct me if lm wrong. But are we trying to figure out how to "fish out" the algae from...
I think that at least a few good techniques for harvesting the algae are known. I think your idea is called harvesting with a "Micro strainer" which is...
A few thoughts, Solarharvest- Solar and wind powered pumps are a great idea, and probably the most credible. I just worry that there is a great deal of thought...
Pumping is a only a minor problem. See: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/legosti/fy98/24190.pdf "Project end input operating costs for large-scale production (@...
Bill, Give us a clue where you found that in the "look back" document. If that is the case, the rest is technicalities. Sorry, I'm lazy! John ... From: Bill...
