i say feed it to my fishes babies then when it big enough i'll eat them.

is it just me who thought the thumbnail looked like a.... nvm

that guy sounds stoned as a mother fucker

What do you use for algae filtering from water ? A microfilm fabric or anything else ? | or do the centrifugial filters work to seperate algae from water ?

[1BustedMyth]

Impressive guys

Why can't simply burn live algae paste as fuel?

[JaycubL]

@beancube2010 You could if you dry it.

[kiwisoft]

could you tell me if the extraction result still have water inside or not ? i am still thinking that the extraction result may still contain water and need to be destilled.

Is this so called " Algae oil" different from Ethanol?  Is it more like regular gasoline?

[datzfast]

@Armornone its more like corn oil

[Darthbelal]

let's see if treated sewage was used for the base nutrients for the algae, plus sunlight, maybe a bit of CO2 from a power plant. The algae uses the sewage, grows is havested and oil seperated I believe the algae remains can be used as feed or fertilizer. This might work, or not......

hello? any home?? need response here

Making algae oil is incredibly inefficient from what I've seen. WVO Bio diesel is much more efficient.

What strains are you growing? My friend and I at school have samples we took from local ponds....but they are contaminated with other micro organisms and don't look to be unicellular.

[datzfast]

if you create the oil while in the water it would just float to the top and you would have to spend money getting it out of solution.

[mrg00ddude]

@datzfast wat if you heat it

[datzfast]

@mrg00ddude dont know, as soon as i run across some this summer i want to try two things, boiling the gunk and fracking it with magnified sunlight.

[YiuTeub]

how long does it take you to get a gallon of oil and what is the energy used per gallon vs energy extracted?

[Logan8393]

what is the filter made of? simple cloth?
