    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    What about a 6 door with room left over for the 5th wheel? Now that would be interesting! F650 Extreme Build it Page

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    I got the roof off the shed to allow light in, have tarps ready to cover it incase of bad weather. Haha **** tank still leaks like a sieve so I bring the water level up once a week or so. I finally got some semi professional help with wiring up my processing rig. Keep in mind, I'm the type...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Well I didn feel like doing work in English class so here we go, I will take a few better ones when i get home Also, even though its large and square and holds 1800 gallons of water, the algae does get the light it needs, I have a few tricks for that one! The tank took all of a few days to...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    One guy who did an experiment in a 300 gallon trough got a 10:1 ratio per week. Meaning he had 30 gallons of algae oil in a week. I can only hope for something similar! Scalabilty for me means moving up to 20-30 thousand gallon tanks so i am excited!!

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Here's a bit of an update. The tank is all rebuilt, 1200 gallons of water in it right now, about 30 gallons of algae and now I wait! It would have 1800 gallons of water but I have no faith in my construction! I'll post a picture of it soon, even though I have said that many times already

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    well the two algae strains have their differences. One is a max of 5 microns, one is 50 microns. the 50 micron one has flagella which are how they move around in liquid, the small one has no flagella but it does like to latch on to the large one for movement and they feed each other...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Well i fixed the leaks, then proceeded to put the last 700 gallons of water in. Well when we built it, we used heavy duty brackets, lag screws, washers, all the good stuff.... appearently on one corner, we forgot to reinforce the part that the brackets bolted to... well lets just say, if i had...

    Get rid of that biodiesel, for new MV buys

    Yeah whenever I get people started on b100 I always tell them to carry around a fuel filter and the tool to change it and learn how ahead of time, after about 4 full tanks it should have dislodged most everything. One guy had to change his fuel filter 3 times before it finally stopped clogging...

    Get rid of that biodiesel, for new MV buys

    biodiesel would rot the rubber lines anyways. being a biodiesel guy myself, i have a natural hate for ethanol, beyond the facts that it sucks. go up above 7000 feet in the mountains and they cant sell gasoline with ethanol in it, fill up, come home, and get 24 mpg in a 1/2 ton pickup most of...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Another recommendation for if you decide to produce your own Bio diesel, is to research dry washing. Everything I have seen has shown that it just produces a top notch quality product, the towers can be made by an afternoon date with a metal roller and a welder. An update on my algae tank, I...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    no problem, earlier in this thread i linked journey to forever, thats where i got started in biodiesel and subsequently algae. there are many companies that sell biodiesel makers and such but beware, they are mostly over priced and some dont even have a wet or dry washing stage at all. its...
