Now it's time to put OPEC out of buisness !

I'm about ready to go find a pond, scrape some algae off the top, add some sugar, shake it for a few minutes and see what happens. Of course, I'll report my findings back here…that's called "sharing".
I guess my next question would be, now what do I do with it? Any chemists on here have any suggestions??? I have to go teach myself chemistry… LOL

What we NEED to do is figure out how to create this biodiesel LOCALLY (i.e. AT HOME!!)
Damn, I WISH I knew chemistry because THAT'S EXACTLY what I'd be doing. The hell with WAITING for it to become available
"commercially". When THAT happens, they're gonna jack the prices up because of GREED. Unfortunately, it's ALL about GREED and it's a shame because this technology looks like EXACTLY the thing we need to rid ourselves of crude oil.

Using the rules photosynthesis, by them not using sunlight does it mean they dont actually reduce CO2 or not to full potential.

They may actually increase CO2 if you factor in how the sugar was made.
Maybe its a way of increasing the efficiency of sugar.
Even if its eaither point, at least it steps in the right direction.
Anyway please feel free to correct me if im wrong.
Just a thought

There is no one answer to our fuel problem(s), so any viable option should be given a chance. Algae is fast growing, improves the air, can be used in water treatment process, AND provides oil that isn't as toxic.

People are getting fed up GLOBALLY with high fuel prices. Using food crops for transportation was whack! It is hurting everyone at the grocery store. So, now we have high gas and food. South America has 2+ decades of history making fuel from sugar cane, which yields more fuel than corn. Still inline with food crops, but more sugar comes from sugar beets instead of sugar cane.

Algae feeds on CO2, and it is, by nature, an oily substance. It grows quickly and so can be considered a highly renewable substance.
As these start-ups work out the kinks in the scale-up to industrial size manufacturing facilities, the world gets one step closer to powering our motors on a more sustainable fuel than fossil fuels.
The technology is being developed, the question is whether or not the market will shut them out in the short term.

Our government will probably ignore this idea… until oil is all dried up. Greedy bastards.

well, you're right, we should diversify our means of fuel, but algae would blow soybeans out of the water (so to speak) cuz one acre of algae produces way way more oil than one acre of soybeans.

nm its all here on youtube:)

This is gonna happen big time! us gov tried back in the 80-90's with no avail because they used ponds. surface area of the top of the pond is not enough to be commercial so what they do is grow the little critters in the pond but they hang em by big plastic sheets "vertically" therefore the surface area is much greater per pond. cool idea:)

he said they feed it sugar. gets the algae HYPER!

Between Algae and Compressed Air, someone is going to run with it and make a gazillion dollars.

There is also a biodiesel made from soybeans. Soybeans are a legume, a plant which replenishes nitrogen back into the soil unlike corn which robs nutrients. Overproducing any crop from a number of years reduces production yields and causes prices to rise, the thing we need to do is diversify our means of fuel, so there shouldn't just be one answer…

True. The cost of corn climbs as a result. That's why this algae idea is worth looking into.

Ummm, whom of you were not listening?!! He has explained this process doesn't use up food stocks, rather he's using non food residues - left overs for the uneducated or those who jump to conclusions rather than watch properly. What I'd like to know is whether or not they are using a light source of some sort - he says 'non direct' so I assume there is still some form of light directed to this process. Great step forward to a process that is not being readily accepted as the answer…….YET!

..and Mr Dillon. Don't forget to tell your daughter about the influence of your corn-based biofuel that is going to let starve millions of people. Because of your market failure in ethanol trade, caused through your subsidized industry!

No word in the video about the thausends of tons of corn they still use for this kind of production..

WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE DOING THIS!?

an Algal Biodiesel & 6 STROKE ENGINE!! Google Crower's 6 stroke engine that gives almost twice the power by using the hot exhaust gas for a second power stroke by creating steam!! No hot exhaust and almost twice the power off the same gas!!
