This video shows ultrasonic extraction of algae oil into water carried out using Industrial Sonomechanics' (ISM) high-gain Barbell horn (output diameter = 65 mm, vibration amplitude = 100 microns). The experiment illustrates the operation of ISM's 5 kW ultrasonic reactor system comprising: ultrasonic generator, magnetostrictive transducer, Barbell horn, and flow-through reactor chamber.

  • Ultrasound is not to be messed with, in water it can make a water spike capable of burrowing through objects, almost put a hole in my finger with a single small transducer, DO NOT LET THE VORTEX AIM AT YOU

  • @SunDragMeHere if you only watch nbc and cnn then u are sheeple

  • should you use algae press or audio?

  • @datzfast yea, I meant 14 cents. Thanks, most people think I am pretty funny :)

  • @SunDragMeHere sorry dude my electric bill is 14 cents not .14 cents a kilowatt hour. you must be too young to pay a bill,or mabey you rent all bills paid? or maby your a libtard with an agenda and will cheat if you have too.LOL funny bastard.

  • @datzfast so where did you get your Electrical Engineering degree? its 4000 watts / hour.. The average cost of electricity is .09 to .14 cents per 1000 watts an hour. So yea..you should probably learn more before making ill-informed comments. We need information in this world, not MISinformation. If we want misinformation, we can just watch fox.

  • How do I make one of these? Is the one we saw in the video really 5Kw? How long did it have to run to separate that much oil?

  • i see a tremendous amount of energy used in this step, i bet if i sonnicate spinach i could get an oily layer to form.

  • @syntheticbliss 68 the internet is crawling with articles about viral lysis of algae. i bet you wrote one and just like to tease.

  • @datzfast i don't think plant cell walls let lysis occur.
