Algae are the common “new thing” for energy production, but that doesn’t mean the application of an innovative new process can’t be innovate itself.  Once again taking my module system, I really thought about how and why I would take what is currently only applied to a grand scale. Today, what little in algae production is, of course in terms of innovation, built for the larger application of energy production for a scale of perhaps a neighborhood.  At least that is where the innovation is taking place - for future grand scale application.   Why not take a similar approach to the algae production and scale it to individual use, for instance, powering a microwave or a room.  Furthermore, how can we take this system and make it architectural so that the user can be involved in the process at least visually, instead of ignoring the process in a greenhouse or shoving it in a closet.

By modulating the system, we get efficiency through redundancy.  It may be expensive to engineer the singular system, but hopefully, through the redundancy and scale of the module, it may pay off quickly on the larger scale of the entire complex. The design of the module takes the idea of an evacuated tube taken from the system concept of Solar Thermal. The evacuated tube would be used to heat up the atmosphere for the algae to produce all year round, but as seen with Solar Thermal, it is too efficient.  While water can overheat, the same cannot be said for successful algae production.   A secondary atmospheric pressure chamber would be added in between the evacuated chamber and the algae chamber so that heat evacuation may be provided through sensory vents. The unit would be experiential, allowing different light qualities through each tube, differentiated by the density or progression of algae production.  When the algae is new growth, it would be less dense and typically lighter (depending on the species), allowing a differentiated experience from the more ambient light of the older growth algae (denser and typically darker).

The preliminary process would happen locally in the module, where the algae is destroyed and fats and sugars are remaining.  The fats and sugars would then be taken to a processing module where the more complex processes of separating the fats from the sugars would take place.  Also here would be where the “fuel” from the fats would be produced.  Lastly, the “fuel” would be converted into electricity locally and put into the grid for use, instead of taking a fuel cell and move it around the house when full.  This would simplify the input required by the user.  Perhaps if the processing system is “apple” engineered, the module could be glass fronted so that it can be further visually investigated vy the use.
