Using Algae (pond Scum) to make diesel.
When the Algae is dried, most of the water is out, then the oil can be extracted from the Lipids.
Lipids are little capsules with oil inside. The Capsule has to be broken down so the oil can escape.
One method of doing this is with Ultrasonic bombardment.
It's referred to as "sonoenzymatic treatment"
I'm this far along.
I've been dealing with Chemists and their vocabulary. I'm a layman there, and its been a tough go.
Now I need an Ultrasonic Howitzer to liberate some oil from dried Cake.
To start I'll just have a handful of Algae Cake. If this works out to be a viable thing I'll be doing larger amounts of cake.
I'd like to know some things about this Ultrasonic Bombardment.
How to make one or buy one and what kind of enclosure I need so I dont ruin my Barn.
How far do the waves travel? What are the operator dangers? Fire dangers?
Etc...
I'm still learning and I'd hate to find out this is something I'd better not be fooling with.
