The B stands for bio diesel, not ethanol lol
there could have been some mis communication over the phone or such but try and get a good location to buy b20, it will do good things for you. Of course from the green aspect the only real way to help is to go b100 but it isnt very cost effective...
well those many estimates of anywhere from 1000-15000 are with large ponds and many types of algae. No one has released estimates with algae that can be grown in large tanks, so I'm working on it!!
Yes sir, I went to school out in rice country and live just a bit north of Sacramento. And the savings over petrol that im aiming for might make you a wealthy man in doing that :beer:
andy - no, protip coming from me is from playing video games haha
IROC i personally dont have experience in using WVO but my biodiesel guy can talk, and talk, and talk some more. He says everything may be good at first, but unless you heat your fuel lines and tank to about 180 it will just gum...
haha well I went and hopped in today, trust me, 1100 gallons of hose water inside a tank in a shed does not get very warm..... i think after 30 seconds i just lost all feeling and it wasnt too bad but oh god did that suck
I have an air bubble under the floor that allowed water in one of the...
I dont have much experience with harvest methods other than filters, it couldnt hurt to try, i know some companies rely on centrifuges to harvest but i think it also depends on the algae type
killing the algae wont matter because your processing will kill it, just be nice to it during the...
well thats the thing, originoil has been known to talk a **** big game, they havnt actually produced anything yet, neither have I. I just got home and am about to add the last 700 gallons to my grower so I can do my testing
the aquatic species program was started after the oil crisis back in...
plus the fact that bio diesel lubricates a diesel engine soooo much better than any petrol diesel at the pump
then those greenies can claim their car is finally clean after it becomes powered by a clean grid (cleaner at least)
well the big idea with that starting with why is everything so **** expensive?
well it costs a whole lot to transport all the goods we need, so why not bring those costs down!
the other one is to build a power plant, 100% of the exhaust is funneled in to algae growing tanks after being cooled...
thats another thing i forgot, and old run down warehouse, or a shed in my back yard dont compete with the bread on your table
The few big goals for me is as follows
1. Make all the pieces to grow and process the fuel able to fit in a module the size of a semi sleeper module. Remove the...
me being a bio diesel guy there is supposed to be a hatred of ethanol producers, that being said i hate the way bio diesel is made, it is similar to corn around 50-60 gallons and acre using soy. I must find my source so dont quote me on t just yet but on the mailing list someone posted a report...
i just put about 1000 gallons in to my 1800 gallon grower, then the corners creaking and squeaking scared me a bit to stop for today. tomorrow ill be able to brace it a bit more heh
I read the rest of origin oils announcement and they stated the waste they wanted to use for their 50:50 mix was...
Ethanol is ****, veggy oil is barely energy positive. After idk how many years they still arent sure that ethanol isnt upside down in energy (meaning it takes more to make it than it will release)
this 10 gallon an hour thing is for bio diesel in general. The algae I use is similar to veggy...
Make your own biodiesel: Journey to Forever
that website is what got me all started! I can also show you how to make a 10 gallon an hour processor if i can dig my plans back up, its a continuous thing and is very neat!
The reason i went to algae is because I learned how competitive the...
muddy feet are dangerous! i ended up standing on the ground facing in the opposite direction i had just been sitting in the drivers seat.... dont ask... but boy oh boy can I run in work boots when need be :roll:
there is a yahoo mailing list
oil_from_algae : oil from algae
that place is where i go to lurk and learn. Dont ever mention "algeponics" otherwise gail will be so far up your hiney hole that when she spits it comes out your mouth..... she feels her "trademark" (she hasnt proven it yet)...
