BIOCOIL
BIOCOIL
I have seen in the paper a couple of weeks ago a study of some guy living underwater using a biocoil to grow algae for consumption.
I have looked about on the net and found some basic pics of what to do but with no biological knowlegde at all i wonder how it would be safe to eat/drink.
Has anyone made one?
I gave up on an allotment due to vandals and think this would be a great way to suplement my average diet in the saftey of my home.
I already grow masses of algae in my fish tanks but not adventurous enough to have a nibble. Although the 20 mbuna love it!!!!!!!

biotubes
wow thanks for the links.
I am waiting for advise from a biologist at a local school as to if it would be safe to eat and the test tube idea would be great to fit on the windowsil at home. And also maybe a good project for the school too.
Thanks for the replies will post up what i have with pics of final project , although still looking aroud for more ideas on design.
cheers me dears

Re: BIOCOIL
hi, ive just started looking at biocoils and would like to grow algae as food for the family in my garden.
any suggestions for advice appreciated. I have found a school project on the net over 7 years developing such a thing, but not commercially working as yet.

Re: BIOCOIL
Cool! I saw a thing about a bloke living underwater a few months ago, but i didn't catch it all.
Looks interesting! Please let us know how it all goes...and what it tastes like!

Re: BIOCOIL
I don't think I'd want to eat it myself, bit I could see using it as part of a food chain for aquaculture.
