The present invention includes a system and method for making a biofuel comprising: providing a nitrogen-limiting, minimal growth media comprising glycerol, sugars generated from cellulosic biomass or both, under conditions in which an oleaginous microbe converts the growth media into at least one of triacylglycerol, neutral lipids, fatty acids, long-chain fatty acids, and hydrocarbons that is secreted by the microbe.

Transformation of glycerol and cellulosic materials into high energy fuels

A leak-proof structure of an oil pipe connector includes: a connector cylinder, being a hollow housing, and having an oil inlet at a front end, and an oil outlet at a rear end, and a switch base interconnected to a shaft hole in the connector cylinder; a control device, installed in the connector cylinder; a switch device, having a transmission shaft, inserted into the shaft hole and linked with the control device, and a switch handle coupled to the top of the transmission shaft; a leak-proof device, having a bearing slot below the shaft hole, and a first leak-proof slot, a circular latch slot and a second leak-proof slot above the leak-proof device, and a bearing being disposed below the bearing slot, and a first O-ring, and a latch ring, a second O-ring for achieving a leak-proof effect.

Leak-proof structure of oil pipe connector

The present invention discloses an oil pipe connector including a connector cylinder (abbr. cylinder), and having an oil inlet at front and an oil outlet at rear end of the cylinder; a switch base with a pivot hole interconnected with the interior of the cylinder; a control device, including a connector cap which being a hollow conical shape, the front end having positioning shaft hole interconnected with the interior; a control mechanism including a connecting portion, a positioning shaft and a piston disc coupled together; the positioning shaft being disposed in a positioning shaft hole of the connector cap; a switch device, including a push rod which being a curved lever, a transmission shaft and a switch handle; an end of the push rod linking the control mechanism; the transmission shaft being pivotally coupled to the pivot hole of the switch base of the cylinder; the switch handle being coupled to the connecting shaft lever.
