Algaent - Algae Solar Fuel Collector


January 20th: Invention 2 = Algaent

Algaent brings fuel production - Home. People grow gardens in their backyards, on roofs and walls and go to the grocery store. Algaent is a collector and fuel transesterificator making it possible for people to grow some of their own gasoline. Algaent, in its module, can be installed oblique to the sun’s altitude; or hidden and sustain light levels with glow plates. It is possible to supplement some or all of transportation fuel needs, with this kit-of-parts. Algaent provides existing engines, relying on traditional gasoline or diesel their fuel needs in a CO2 reducing way. It ain't Paint, it's Algaint! 


Patent

TITLE OF THE INVENTION

METHODOLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR THE CULTIVATING, HARVESTING, EXTRACTING, PROCESSING, STORAGE AND LIBERATION OF FUEL FROM ALGAE FOR USE BY INDIVIDUAL(S)

 

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

            Not applicable.

 

INVENTION

The present invention discloses a methodological system of cultivating, harvesting, extracting, processing, storing and liberating fuel from algae for use by individual(s).

The method includes the steps of growing algae, in specified paneled tubule technology system, fed with applicable flow of nutrients and gaseous exchange to allow for both gaseous exchange and appropriate supply of nutrients. It also allows for the cutting off of nutrients, whereby starving of the algae, at appropriate times. The specified paneled tubule technology system, which incorporates specialized techniques to both enhance and moderate UV radiation and aeration for algal growth optimization. Examples, but not limited to, include: pores, specified aeration techniques, utilizing inclination angles perpendicular to suns rays, glow plate technology, films and tints to both capture and moderate heat and energy from the sun for bioconversion of algae to oil. The specified paneled tubule technology system can interface with hookups for solar, wind, hydro and alternative energy powered technology to enable the specified paneled tubule technology system to operate. The specified paneled tubule technology system incorporates flow devices for nutrients to and aeration of algae, as well as transport of algae enhanced with valves and pumps for transesterification, extracting and processing, within the localized system.

Localization of the mentioned cultivating, harvesting, extracting, processing, algae to the producing area, incorporates a storage vessel for use by the individual(s) in the localized area. Post-esterification, the bio-oil can be stored in the localized system storage with solvent valve and outlet for liberation of fuel for use. The stored oil can then be liberated for use or converted to fuel and liberated for use. The oil can be used for medicinal purposes, cosmetics, plastics, synthetic fabrics, lubricants and other purposes.

The fuel can be used for, but not limited to products, transportation vessels, vehicles, cars, airplanes, electricity plants, and heating buildings.
