With all the information one can find, and presumably some Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:27:50 GMT Bobby Yates Emory http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/message/11182 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/message/11182 RGE, The objective of this group is to develop the answers to those (and other) questions. We hope you will discuss your results here.

I looked through over 200 hits on Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:20:19 GMT rge10027 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/message/11179 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/message/11179 I teach organic chemistry and co-author organic chemistry textbooks. We want to develop a new lab experiment for converting algae to biodiesel.

This is irresistible for all us scam exposers.

I live in south Alabama and there are a lot of exciting things planned here.

Even tinkerers such as you are describing need to at least satisfy themselves and others that Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:59:48 GMT Bobby Yates Emory http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/message/11173 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/oil_from_algae/message/11173 Alex, I think we are talking about two different things. I am talking about a backyard experimenter who has solved one portion of the oil from algae puzzle.

And Jim says 6% is realistic. To make algae, and some oil.

From what I've seen the water trickles down one of
