Whole Setup
This is the newest setup for the biocoil. We began to explain everything on the right side moving to the left. There, basically, will be two biocoils hooked together. Starting in the first tank. There will be an air pump so it will release oxygen while taking in carbon dioxide. From this tank it goes into the first pump and into the fist coil then looping into the second coil then the third. After that it runs into the second tank where we have a second air pump to release oxygen and take in co2 once more. From here it goes to our second pump into the fourth coil and then to the fifth coil and the sixth ending in the beginning tank.

This is a flexible setup. Our starting coil will be a foot in diameter and six feet tall, and there will be six of these inside each there will be fencing with LED lights attached. We can change the height to 8 and half feet tall. If you wish. And we can make the diameter of the coils smaller or larger according to what you feel you need. The problem with the tighter coils is there tends to be a kink in the tubing, making it more difficult for the algae to get through.
A few more of our minor problems are measuring the carbon dioxide and the oxygen, DURING OUR TESTS.

We found an O2 and CO2 meter to measure the amounts in Air but it costs nearly $3000 --the O2 is only $800-- BUT the CO2 is $2200. If you could find the money for these --we could do our tests with them and then give them to you to put in the BioSub to always monitor the levels so you can do what you need to do while staying in there.
Another question we have: do these pumps have to be 12 volts?

Tank Setup
For this tank setup we decided to use a skinny, tall conical tank. Running Inside of this tank we have an air pump with a bubbler at the end or a blower system to move more air from the Biosub thru the tank. This is so the oxygen and the carbon dioxide will dissolve into the water. We also have the tube leading into these tanks spraying water against the inside walls or something similar, causing the oxygen to be released. These are also flexible plans. These tanks can be up to 8 and 1/2 feet tall by however wide in diameter you need. We believe that these will be the most efficient. We have some ideas on how to tweak these designs to test for the most efficient way to release O2 and pick up CO2.

LED Light Setup
Inside of the coils there is fencing that has been shaped into a circular form. There will be about three rows of LED lights inside each along each of the four sides. These circular fences will be 10 inches in diameter. Hopefully focusing the light on the coil. We have to decide on how many LED’s we need because they are expensive. We have a couple of leads on some grants to help build the pilot project.
Give us some feed back-- maybe a call soon-- so we can see if we should go ahead and purchase the parts to begin our tests. ~Clint and Crew.
