A micro-spike algae harvesting and biofuel extraction system and method therefor whereby an algal solution is dispersed from a selected height onto an inclined micro-spike board which forms a substrate for supporting an array of upwardly-extending miniature spikes, wherein the miniature spikes puncture algae cells suspended in the solution to release biofuel contained therein.

Micro-spike algae harvesting and biofuel extraction system and method therefor

A micro-spike algae harvesting and biofuel extraction system including a micro-spike board supported at an inclined angle by a rigid framework and forming a planar substrate for support of an array of miniature, upwardly pointed, conically-shaped spikes, and a sprinkling system for dispersing an algal solution of algae cells from above the micro-spike board onto the array of spikes for puncturing the algae cells to release biofuel contained therein.
