Why are the chimneys of the power plants not equipped with active carbon filters?




Kimmo Huosionmaa

Some persons believe that the active carbon filters will clean the air. If all power plants what uses fossil fuel will be equipped with carbon filters, what are similar what is used in the gas masks, there will not come carbon monoxide or sulfur combinations out of the chimney,  and this might be the solution for many pollution problems. The active carbon can clean the air, what comes out the chimney, and the carbon what is reduced in that reaction might use in the new filters and other industry what uses carbon.


The technological solutions for the climate changing are very difficult to make real, and the dumping the carbon monoxide to the water is very problematic, because the carbon dioxide will transfer the water acidic, and that is very bad for the water system. The carbon dioxide and monoxide will react with the water, and transform as the carbon acid, what causes eutrophication in the water system.


And the storing the carbon dioxide or monoxide in some craves is a way absurd than dumping it into the oceans. The caves will fill with carbon combinations and sooner or later the gas will somehow break out the caves, and in the real world, there will be no experience to storing that kind of gas into some caves. The store must stand for centuries or even thousands of years.


The volume of the carbon dioxide production is the problem of the storing that gas anywhere. In the ocean, those gases will cause the acidulation and even if that process would be slower than in some lakes, the oceans will sooner or later fill with carbon acid, and the massive eutrophication will begin in the enormous scale, what the planet ever has seen. And the eutrophication will work in the ocean-scale same way than in lakes.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
