Algae Bio Reactor
After exploring the many avenues that the world then has proposed regarding alternative energy and fuel sources...algae bio reactors were examined. Finding them not sufficient for the fuel production to compensate for the event of "peak oil", then replacing the diesel with grown oil... but the reactors have other useful applications regarding oil production for plastics harvesting thus yielding a "grown" commodity that will have a lower environmental footprint and thus reducing CO2 ( carbon dioxide ) in it's production.
Algae then being used to produce oil ( hydrocarbon feed stock ) yielding plastics ,then mated with carbon thread, then as structural reinforcement for automotive body panels will then reduce the cost of a bicycle tractor and or other automotive body component within a lower range of production cost . The coils output production is scalable according to the application .... ie. length of the "grow coil" and "dark coil". The hydrocarbon feed stock then also sold will also off set the cost of the advanced automotive motor systems and assist in economy's stability as many products that the world then required for health and sanitation as well as food wrapping plastics , are then able to be derived from a grown source keeping the cost within the parameters as not to "shock" the economy..
The design will produce excess electricity and water via dehumidification then making it an attractive addition to a farm... the algae then converted to a plastic could be used to produce farm tools that do not rust.. The tools then composed of rigid plastic with carbon cloth reinforcements...
Aqua culture ( fish farms ) then are also able to be constructed with this design ..then keeping environmental toxins / hazardous particle out of their growth cycle. ( The aqua culture modification then requires slight design modification to keep the live stock safe ( slow pools added , offset spheres on the coils with independent filtration ) and by pass systems for the fish to avoid pumps intakes....
The sale of the Algae Bio Reactor' excess product... as hydrocarbon feed stock, electricity, excess potable water then will off set the cost of the self sustained electric car's motor / transmission and generator systems allowing for a lower retail sale making it a more affordable product for the public... this also then allows for advancements in safety systems then implemented at lower cost to the retail customer.
The water velocity within the coil systems may then allow for the "growth coil" to remain "clear" as the speed of the water may prevent the algae from adhering to the inner surface of the "growth coil " tube.
* Note the automotive sub-frames "Chassis" will then be of stainless steel for safety ( cost effective with electric furnaces). Electricity sale at reduced prices then may off set the cost of the automotive final product... then allowing for higher product refinement with a reduced retail cost.
* The single algae bio reactor then may also be made to drive additional coils then spread out across great acreage to gain in volume of product ie. as an example... 100+ additional "dumb" coils then with growth return tubes to the processing systems.... then driven by one algae bio reactor drive coil.....

the water jet from G6 then causes the impeller to rotate and the compressor to accelerate the water pressure and velocity in the "dark coil"
R5. tube ( valve e1 then mixed gas extraction to 21 for stratification and molecule isolation into components to then recycle into the system...
( in number 13 sub letter "O" then into r5,t1, through d7 and then enters the "dark coil" to cause greater down ward
volume ( via high vacuum / wicks off volatile gas) and force "head weight" to then cause suction. Due to lower pressure the air
entering the dome top at 36 then is also temperature regulated slightly heated to prevent icing from causing the flow system to
stall... ( vacuum pump driven by "B"). R5 then at the top of the water column located just below the gas pressure dome is then the
water pressure motivator for the "dumb coil" depicted as follows;
The "Boost Pump for drive pressure is depicted as follows;
* Note - The "head weight of the "dark coil" ( down hill water weight.. is then also impaling an impeller system to the jack the water uphill to
then assist the pump... the air \ injection bubble system will also assist in the water rising as the adhesion of the bubble
( surface tension will tend to cause a drag of water in close proximity...
* Note - "A" is then a pneumatic control valve upon the feed tube that is electric and manual actuation systems with pressure sensor
( redundant ) to then control the "bubble rate" injection into the "growth coil " The injection points of air pressure are then in between
each grow light / clamp lamp system, number 35. ( * injection rate / and volume of air injection equation derived from average
stratification ppm ( parts per million ) of gas constituency to cause non hazardous gas blend in the "growth coil" ).
* Note - "B" is the bubble ( air pressure ) injection tube then intersecting the "growth coil" with one way valving at the coupling compression
fitting / coupling, then upon the "growth coil"
* Note - Anarobic bacteria for the Methane digester derived from the lavatory.....
* Note - entire system is electrically grounded for static electricity at required electrical capacitance points ie. flow tubes...
* Note - number 35 then along the full length of the transparent "growth" coil number 38.
* Note - full gas recovery systems may be added to this design for closed loop ( sealed ) operation in outer space.. ie. intake into
numbers 16 , 18, and 19.. ( gas gain will occur )atmospheric production system for space stations.. System may demonstrate
molecular gain from sealed system... kinda strange...
* Note - The coils and component parts may then become self replicating ie factories that grow more factories..... reduces the
implementation cost..
* Note - System will "start" with first filling with water until the bleed valve upon the water out flow tube R5,H1,R5,G1,R5. yields water .Then
the vacuum is caused by vacuum pump intake a unit additional to the air compressor system that feeds bubbler.
* Note - The vacuum pump pulls negative pressure in Z1 then being rotated by gear "B". Fresh air is then being pumped into the "growth coil"
and into the bubbler by air compressor driven by gear "B". The fresh air acts as a gas dilution system to cause a non hazard of
any volatile gas components that may occur and is caused with sensor and fault alarm system in either of the two gas stratification
units ... ie . in number 21 and or in number 13.
* Note - water will then fill the system until the bleed valve upon the water out flow tube R5,H1,R5,G1,R5.... This is the main pressure
out flow system that will motivate the "dumb " coils with the water flow to then again return to the primary holding tank number 25
* Note - once the compounding water velocity is reached the vacuum in Z1 then changes to an air pressure cycle that does purge itself to vent
the mix of Co2, N2, and air pressure ( bubbler ) to the stratification system.
* Note - The "dumb coils" ( algae "grow coils" ) will then return to the main processing system then into number 27 for oil extraction and
bio mass processing post oil "cracking".
A pressure dome then is atop the water cycle then catching the feed stock N2 ( nitrogen ) and the CO2 ( carbon dioxide ) to
re circulate the gas post bubble up from the base of number 36...... The top of the "pressure dome" ( with water column higher than
the "dark coil" entry orifice also then with gas restriction baffle screen, low permeation.. column water weight + water fill tube / pipe
(36 union with 48) , causing swirl stir by injection vector ( coriolis effect ) to cause motion in the water column, yielding greater gas evacuation ).
This then allowing for gas capture in the dome at the top..causing circulation via number 44 to number 21 for stratification
an / stratification . Gas pressure confinement in the dome ( ie. in reference to the material selection process ) must then made to retain
a gas pressure greater than the "coils" confinement pressure rating.. ie. " to the have the pressure as as a solid so that it sucks the
water from the top of the "growth coil" and does not evacuate the gas within water column or lower the pressure the gas capture
dome... The pressure dome is controlled evacuated at limited rate to then purge the system and prevent methane problem...
A pressure regulation sensor is also connected to the system atop the pressure dome at number 36 also connected to the
control electronics , to adjust the water level and pressure range for correct operation. Think of a syringe ( ie. growth coil ) the down force then
pulling by greater weight of water weight plus spiraling fluid dynamic motion then adding pressure weight by motion of fluid... to then increase
the total system fluid velocity rate.. increasing inertia of mass in motion..... then one can derive greater energy for a sustained motion system.
Materials travel via tubes... The mechanical mechanism the at the out flow of the "dark coil" will impale a hydraulic impeller to then cause rotation if amplification ratio gear set of 1:2 with the 2 of the gear set then driving a water pump with electric assistance and optional pneumatically pressurized gain system.
Where the air pressure will then add pressure to fill the "dark coil" with additional water pressure to cause a syphon effect. The 1:2 ratio gear set then pressurizing the "growth coil" to push the water up hill.
The high end of the gear set then will also drive a planetary gear / differential drive system then pumping the return water ( low algae
count ) just below ( after ) the apex of the "dark coil" adding to the down hill water head weight . The "dark coil" will then produce a syphon effect by mechanical method. The electric water pumping system mainly used for temperature control injection.
* Note - the algae may also then be used to fertilize the fields of the un-used land as the arid regions an land can then be used with an increased fertility rate where then the destruction of indigenous land ie. rain forest tropical regions can the be left alone also to allow for the natural genius to continue to evolve.
