Algae Bio-Fuels

After reading a fesability report released by DEA, I tried experimenting growing my own algae in my back yard. Though my experiments were inconclusive, I am still interested in people exploring this bio fuel option. Here is an interesting video on the topic.

Brammo



This motorcycle was being demoed at a Venture Capital Event in Santa Rosa. Brammo is based in Ashland Oregon and are looking for up to 15 million in funding. The bikes are sold for around $12k. Though I could not ride it due to time constrains and liability. The bike appeared to be solidly made. It's my understanding that the bikes will be manufactured in Oregon if the cost of assembly is less than the cost of shipping from china.

Top Speed: 50mph
Range: 45 miles
Charge Time: 3 hours
