  • At 4:23 your ~450 kg/m2/year figures seems to be assuming you will harvest 100% of solar energy and turn it into biodiesel with a 100% efficient process.

    Photosynthesis is only 11.5% efficient at it's theoretical maximum, so your actual figure will be well below 50 kg/m2/year of biomass.

    Unless you have lights that can provide over 9X the power of sunlight.

    Then it says 100s of these are already in operation.

    Huh? Where?

    Kindof a strange statement when the website still says "coming soon".

  • Some explanation for question marks in your head:

    1-Pyramid's lying on 16 m2 area(100.000lt)

    2-The whole system's cost efficient&to be more specific air pump is the device that consumes the least energy.This is called "air lifting technology".In tubular systems because it goes horizontal you need lots of energy for the pump but in this system GRAVITY(of air in medium)is used

    3-There're also lights supporting sunlight&also circulation moves the culture on all sides in short time so light is NP

  • The design is plausible, but the figures are horrible.

  • Duplicate the Pre-Flood environmental conditions that existed before the flood and you will get stupendous results. The Japanese did it with the tomato plant which lived for almost 20 years, way past it's half year lifespan, produces tomatoes the size of foot balls. Add rock dust powder as a fertilizer to duplicate the high soil fertility of the Pre-Flood environmental conditions. We Russians did it already too for our military and it worked!

  • @roidroid

    I am agree and I can add that 450kg/m2/yera is only achievable in dilute system with optic fibers and that in direct sunlight captation it is more around 100kg/m2/year.....and for cyanobacteria...it is worth with green algae....this thing is a fake

  • So I guess this is like a greenhouse of sorts...

  • 100000lts or 100 tons? hydrostatic pressure mean anything not to mention that light will not penetrate all that far in to algae rich medium. The size, scale and out put are all way way off.

  • Just Lies to make money.

  • What 3D modeling program did you use?

  • I'd like to see one in action- but google and google images searches both come up empty....

  • Where is the pyramids eye!!! Doesn't form follow function. I believe in good advertisement and I wouldn't say I don't believe in "conspiracy." I wouldn't say I don't believe in energy. What of it...
