An apparatus for producing algae circulates algae fluid through flexible reactor tubing that is at least partially translucent to sunlight. The reactor tubing lies flat when not pressurized. Preferably, the reactor tubing is made of clear polyethylene with UV inhibitors, the polyethylene being between 6 and 15 mil thick. The reactor tubing preferably has a substantially circular cross-section with a 6 inch diameter and is preferably 1250 feet long. Gas relief valves allow gases generated during algae production to escape from the reactor tubing. CO2 may be injected into the algae fluid to stimulate photosynthesis. A circulation pump propels the algae fluid through the reactor tubing, keeping the reactor tubing pressurized and stationary without touching the reactor tubing, so that a rigid support structure is not needed. One or more layers of plastic mulch may be disposed above or below the reactor tubing to control temperature and sunlight exposure.

The present invention is directed toward specially tinted lenses for use in flying airplanes. In the present invention, the far field of vision is highly tinted to reduce the light from a sunlit sky, over sunlit cloud tops, or in clouds. This enables an aircraft pilot to easily see out of the cockpit into highly illuminated environments. The intermediate field of vision is essentially clear to enable the pilot to easily see a dimly illuminated instrument panel as compared to outside the aircraft. The near field of vision may have a range of tinting from clear to up to a medium tinted value for reading maps and other material. In addition, the change in tinting is discontinuous, that is, sharp, from one field of vision to another. The present invention works because the aircraft structure, that is, the nose and instrument panel, blocks outside light from coming into the intermediate field of vision where the lens is clear.
