			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="http://vincent.callebaut.org/">Vincent Callebaut</a>, a organic architecture adept, recently unveiled a blue-sky plan for a high-flying fleet of self-sufficient aircraft that are one part zeppelin cities and one part  hydrogen-generating floating farms.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3117" title="callebaut-lead01" src="http://archtopia.speedymirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/callebaut-lead01.jpg" alt="callebaut lead01 Algae Airships or Self Sufficient Airborne Cities" width="550" height="368" /></p>
<p>The algae-producing airborne cities can be 100% emission-free and are capable of generating  hydrogen gas without consuming land needed for crops or forests, no how about <a target="_blank" href="http://archtopia.com/category/utopia/" target="_blank">utopia</a>, huh?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3116" title="callebaut-ed01" src="http://archtopia.speedymirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/callebaut-ed01.jpg" alt="callebaut ed01 Algae Airships or Self Sufficient Airborne Cities" width="550" height="360" /></p>
<p>Yeah, you probably think this is only a pretty neat concept, that will never get built, but times are changing friend, and what you consider impossible today, may be accomplished tomorrow easily. So never say never to new ideas, aight?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3115" title="callebaut-ed03" src="http://archtopia.speedymirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/callebaut-ed03.jpg" alt="callebaut ed03 Algae Airships or Self Sufficient Airborne Cities" width="550" height="355" /></p>
<p>According to the architects, “<em>the output obtained by a farm with  micro-seaweed would be superior to those made currently with farming  means to produce biodiesel or bioethanol. This could be estimated at  1000 litres of hydrogen for 330 grams of chlorophyll per day whereas for  example colza produces roughly only 1000 litres of oil per hectare . . .  a hectare of seaweed could thus produce organically 120 times more  biofuels than a hectare of colza, soya or sunflower.</em>”</p>
