A vacant lot of land with old buildings torn up- turned into a clean little fuelplant. A field of solar panels (USA made with 30yr warranty) powering the equipment growing the algea, high tech LED lighting at night, C0’2 absorbtion, very cool! A section of bioreactors all lined up, like 8 or 12 of them. A section of land with small buildings with computers, pumps and tubes. And storage tanks near the tree lined- parklike-landscaped entance. I want to run this place!!

Biodiesal powered trucks stopping by to fill up their big tanks for delivery. The fact is.. car fuel, livestock feed, plastics, jet transportation are obviosly a huge part of our world.

Add a few OriginOil Fuel Stop stations built and powered by ecofriendly means- like solar panels soaking up the sun accross the huge canopy covering the pumps and cars. (Sharp is making solar panels in the USA) Plus, rapid chargers for the electric Nissans and Fords. And maybe a coffee shop. Yes, an organic coffee shop. Yum. (the previous statement about ecofriendly built and powered OriginOil Fuel Stop stations with a coffee shop- is my idea and i am publishng it now. So there- do not take my idea!) I am not kidding people! We need to use our resourses wisely- without ignorance.

Its just like the Hemp plant. Are we dumb?? Does anyone realize the true benefits of the entire plant. C0’2 absorbtion, rapid growth, cleaner air, durable paper and fabric, high protein food, oils, paints, roofing shingles and clothing!! the list goes on and on. These are facts and I hope this helps everyone make a positive difference. Do what is good for our future and the ones we love. Help support and create jobs for cleaner energy.

I hope we all just get together, learn, teach and compromise. Plus- use a lot more of the common sense that we have been given even. Thanks! wtfsh

Everything working in harmony. Using our “free” Sun for power to make oil and food, jet fuel and plastics. It all seems so amazing and natural.

What I have discovered about Originoil is

This “Helix Bioreactor”, on the other hand, transfers light energy to algae using ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS, powered by ELECTRICITY. This is an exercise in futility. Instead of converting the sun’s rays into chemical energy stored within the algae, this Helix Bioreactor process is essentially converting ELECTRICITY into chemical energy in algae–at a very inefficient rate at that. The result is analogous to pointing a lamp at a solar cell to generate electricity. Even if you could do it at 100% efficiency, it would be pointless. Why generate power to grow algae to make fuel…to generate power? Why not eliminate the algae step altogether?

If the goal is simply to convert electricity into a portable fuel, then electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is WAY more efficient (estimated anywhere from 50-90% efficiency). On the other hand, the theoretical maximum efficiency of converting light into chemical energy by photosynthesis is somewhere around 25%. The actual maximum obtainable efficiency in algae has been estimated to be more like 10%. Then of course there is the energy input required for processing this chemical energy into a usable fuel, which is no small factor either.

In short, this “Helix Bioreactor” is a means of scamming investors out of money, and the people behind them know it! None of the news outlets or media seem to get it, however, and simply parrot the claims made by these companies. It simply comes down to basic laws of physics.

Cost effective when you put artificial light as an energy source to feed the 27% maximum energy conversion efficiency of photosynthesis?

You must be kidding.
