Biofuel with Botryococcus Braunii
published: 27/12/08, 16:53
Hello,
I am currently trying to multiply a strain of the micro alga botryococcus brauni with a view to creating a way to cultivate a fuel, to clean up the exhaust gases but also to participate in feeding.
My context
For now, like more and more people, I am using recovery oil to drive. Sometimes I happen (more and more often) to come across restaurants that already work with an oily, in this case I do not insist (we do not have the atomic weapon in my village) and I will see elsewhere.
Another anecdote, I crossed twice the center of France while looking for oil in the recycling centers. The first time (2005) the guards were surprised or hallucinating my requests, the second (2008) it was rather banal and some guards run in oil (which they kept for themselves suddenly).
Biofuel is a slippery idea that has made its way quickly (I'm not talking about institutions).
Even if I could no longer get the oil for free, I still have this adage from experience: that information that is useful to people, it's people to create it.
And that's what I want to play with other people: see what they can and can't do with this algae. Before even knowing if it is profitable or not compared to the pressing techniques, I think it is not bad that the seed spread so that the experiments proliferate as with the oil.
Short
I have here a strain of 0.5L (which I could give you photos) which is in good health but which does not multiply despite the 20 ° C of the room and regular aeration by bubbling air.
It is placed in front of a north-facing window.
You have any ideas?
