This is VERY VERY cool…
“Here’s how to build a photo-bioreactor that uses algae to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy.
The energy that is produced is in the form of algae biomass.
The photo-bioreactor is built from plastic recycled water bottles.
By designing the apparatus to be compartmentalized, we are able to do many experiments in parallel.
By using algae as a biofuel, we can increase the world’s supply of oil while at the same time we decrease the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide used during its production. The resulting product is a sustainable biofuel whose carbon footprint is neutral inasmuch as the CO2 produced on consumption is essentially balanced by the CO2 used in its production.
