How it works
The Green Transformer floats on the surface of water, absorbing algae from the water. Inside the Transformer, the absorbed algae is mixed with the chemical additive, converting it into bio fuel. When the transformer is floating on top of the water, the solar panels can be opened up to absorb the solar energy required to drive the conversion process.
The resultant fuel can be used as a substitute for petroleum. Considering the green aspect, this bio fuel is eco-friendly and helps convert readily available resource into precious fuel for running our fuel based gadgets. The product can be folded and unfolded according to convenience and storage requirements.
