leXsolar-BioFuel Ready-to-go

Function and Applications 

The whole process of producing biodiesel is exemplified in this interdisciplinary complete experiment set. The transport case is equipped with all required components to perform the following experiments: production of bioethanol by biotechnological processes, production of biodiesel, alcoholic fermentation, distillation. What is more, with this experiment set it is possible to generate electrical energy from the produced bioethanol using the included ethanol fuel cell and measuring its yield with the potentiometer module and motor module.

Benefits

• Up-to-date topic: biotechnological generation of renewable energy
• Interdisciplinary subject with relevance in biology, chemistry, physics
• Complete set, no additional components required
• Can be used everywhere as all components are included in transport case
