COOL!
Cool, but the real question is, how much energy in the form of diesel oil is produce, versus the energy cost to produce it?
Interesting, any idea on the ratio of potential energy being produced in the Bio-Oil vs. the amount of energy utilized to create the Bio-Oil?
I probably wrote that wrong, but I’m unsure of how to make it clearer than that.
My baby made that when I fed him peas. Who knew...
How much algae needed for a barrel? Cost produce a barrel?
You got the question in first... Congrats!
You are worrying about cost effectiveness, that is not the goal here. The goal is to sink more money into pet projects.
Weatherley, D. K. and R. W. Henley. 2013. Flash vaporization during earthquakes evidenced by gold deposits. Nature Geoscience. 6 (1759): 294-298
I'm not going to go dig this paper up, but I'm willing to bet it does not say gold is created by earthquakes.
Nothing has an EROEI like crude oil coming out of a well.
Bingo. I do not know anything about this but two things: There just is not enough algae and $$$ will be thrown at this a la global warming.
Thanks! Good information to know.
I’m sure we can kill a few more birds for wind farms to produce fuel for our diesel trucks...
Sounds like you need an algae pool as big as the Great Lakes to make it work.
Given the source, I don't think either one of those is the goal.
I think the goal is to help prove that the earth is only a few thousands of years old.
A company has been making synthetic crude from turkey offal for a decade or so. The system of conversion is thermodynamically viable. The real question is whether the production and conversion of biomass to synthoil is economically viable?
You need to read more carefully.
The writer doesn't say that gold is "created by earthquakes," either. He says "gold forms...."
From the abstract of the paper to which he refers:
"Flash vaporization continues as more fluid flows towards the newly expanded cavity, until the pressure in the cavity eventually recovers to ambient conditions. Multiple earthquakes progressively build economic-grade gold deposits."
Flash vaporization during earthquakes evidenced by gold deposits.
Gold forming is common terminology in the trade How Does Gold Form?
FReegards!
No, I read it correctly. The article clearly intended to misrepresent that paper's findings to suggest that gold is created by earthquakes. And as the citation you gave demonstrates, I was correct. It isn't.
