This is a UV resistant Hurricane Polycarbonate Window Shield panel that holds 80 pounds of liquid easily. By pumping water in with a small 7 watt water pump, a vacuum is created preventing the entire water mass from rushing out the bottom.

algae-book.com (941) 870-2306 Making Algae Biodiesel at Home. Imagine you could eliminate the cost of heating your home in the winter time...or how about fueling your car for a fraction of the cost of traditional gasoline? With the price of gas creeping back up to nearly $3.00 per gallon, (or more) we're finally beginning to realize that dependence on foreign oil and the rapidly declining natural resources available worldwide are making it critical to producing alternative, and renewable, fuel sources. Best of all, algae biodiesel is clean burning and has an extremely low impact on the environment! Now, suppose you could discover the secrets of making algae biodiesel fuel from your own home, with a small investment in time, equipment, money, and without much space? Find out more. algaebiodieselinfo.com http

20 Nov 2009 Bio-fuel from Algae grown in settling ponds at Christchurch Municipal sewage works. Apparently this is the worlds biggest project that is onstream Trust me this won't be the answer to NZ's energy issues. Not even close. We use 183000 barrels of oil a day. This plant only provides enough to run a small number of cars.

Michael Fischer Stanford University mfischer at stanford.edu Two major problems facing the physical world today can be broadly categorized into (1) how to increase the amount of consumable energy available for the worlds needs and (2) how to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases produced. Of course, these problems are negatively linked together inasmuch as, without further offsets, an increase in the production of carbon fuels leads to an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases produced when these fuels are consumed. In this video we shall look at a method that breaks this negative link by considering a project that increases the worlds supply of oil using biofuels and which at the same time decreases the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide used during its production. The resulting product is a sustainable biofuel whose carbon footprint is neutral inasmuch as the CO2 produced on consumption is essentially balanced by the CO2 used in its production.

Solazyme Unveils Renewable Biodiesel Derived from Algae via Scalable Process First car powered by algal biodiesel to demonstrate real-world driving at Sundance Solazyme, Inc., a synthetic biology company unleashing the power of aquatic microbes to create clean and scalable solutions for biofuel, industrial chemical, and health and wellness markets, today revealed the first ever algae-derived biodiesel fuel (Soladiesel™) to have undergone road testing by successfully powering a factory-standard automobile for long distances under typical driving conditions. The car and fuel will make their public debuts at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, where they are also featured in Fields of Fuel, Josh Tickell's documentary about renewable fuels. Soladiesel biodiesel is clean, renewable, environmentally sustainable and scalable. Web: solazyme.com Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: www.facebook.com
Algae cake must be dried before extracting the oil. These dry samples are pressable 50% oil by weight.
This is not my work. The video is very self-explanatory. I add it here only to increase the number of people who are aware of these methods and techniques. Valcent Products is not the only corporation working on this, but they have the best application for the idea I've seen. I am not in any way associated with Valcent Products.

www.livinggreenchannel.com Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it would require 15000 square miles of land to harvest the algae... which is roughly one seventh of the area that is used to harvest corn in the US every year. And a diverse group of byproducts, such as neutraceuticals and feedstocks for producing plastics, can be created in algal biofuel operations, making the production more cost effective. But before we start celebrating the great biofuel solution we've been looking for, there are a few problems... the biomass for producing a significant amount of algal biofuel just doesn't exist yet. The algae has to be grown from scratch and harvesting it is very expensive at this point in time. The potential of Algal Biofuel is staggering... but the problem is that, as of now, it's all just potential. It might be years before the technology catches up to make producing algal biofuel on a large scale possible... but when that time comes, we might be able to finally celebrate a more efficient, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source. For more information on this exciting and developing technology, check out AlgalBioMass.Org. I'm Elizabeth Chambers. Check back here for more ...

Grow mass amounts of algae and produce 20000+ gallons of bio-fuel on one acre. With the amount of farm space of 1/10 the size of New Mexico we could produce enough fuel to fill the United States' need for oil.

Bryan Garner, News Channel 5 visits a farm in Fellsmere that produces algae which replaces crude oil. Fred Tennant (Vice President of Petroalgae) says it is cheaper than oil, a lot cheaper. Arizona State developed this Algae and or process. Bits of algae fed with carbon dioxide grow dark green. From seed to harvest in just two days. This video was taken before the gas reached the four dollar mark. The kick in the ass is that this company will not produce it for the public. So I don't see it effecting pump prices, EVER!
