Harvesting Spirulina Algae, and Prepping for Regrowth

Hi. Apologies for the short hiatus, I've been pretty busy recently.

Anyway, it's been a couple of months since I started cultivating an edible form of algae known as Spirulina; I also made a video on that where I talk about algae and its many uses as both a product and a form of carbon capture.
In this video I harvest some of the algae, and I also have a go at making some bio-oil via pyrolysis under vacuum. My yield was rather conservative, and I think this is partially due to not harvesting enough, and also some of the algae soaking into the cloth, of which I was unable to remove. When I attempted the pyroysis reaction, I think I may have made bio-char instead of oil; my results in this video were inconclusive.

No doubt I will attempt to improve this process in the future!

Anyway, I hope this video helps some of you who want to have a go at this yourself (always encouraged!).

Edenia is a project (hopefully organisation in the future) to research and develop sustainable technologies and practices, educate people about how to do more things and become more self sustaining (on an individual as well as communal level), and advocate transitioning into an ecologically sound, free, post scarcity world.
