New Reactor Technology

Caption

Cody Ellens, an Iowa State student from Lacombe, Alberta, Canada, who's working on master's degrees in mechanical engineering and biorenewable resources and technologies, works with a free fall reactor he helped design and build. The reactor uses heat in the absence of oxygen to convert biomass into a bio-oil.
