how many buy prebuilt reactors?

Well? For senior design we're working on a reactor and we've come up with a pretty elegant design for a continuous reactor that can produce up to around 2 gallons per minute, perhaps less. But thing is we think we can produce it for under 2000 dollars and the entire reactor (minus the oil tanks and bio tanks) could be as small as a laptop computer. No more reactor tank/settling tank/washtank...

Think there'd be a market?

Last time I checked 2 gallons would fit on top of my laptop, now if I open it up I can fit 4.

120 gallons of washed, dried, bio in 60 minutes? Will there be provisions for automated catalyst methanol mixing? Have you made fuel or is this just chalkboard type stuff at this point?
