The new green genius turns carbon into fuel.

    The new green genius turns carbon into fuel. 


Things like carbon nanotubes that have small carbon "hair" can be used to clean exhaust gas. The surface area of the reaction determines the filter's ability to remove carbon from the exhaust gas. The system bases the carbon reduction. The simpler version is to use carbon filters that separate carbon from aromatic hydrocarbons and CO2 emissions. The carbon filter system is commonly used in gas masks whose mission is to remove carbon from the poisonous gas. 

The active carbon filters are simple and effective tools. But the problem is where the system puts that carbon. The most effective thing would be pressure- an electromagnetic system that can turn the carbon into diamonds or carbonite crystals. The system requires lots of energy, and that makes it ineffective. The idea is that the system turns the carbon into the form, where it cannot fly away. If the system can turn carbon waste into a big bite, it cannot fly into the atmosphere. In some solutions, the carbon from CO2 emission will turn into fuel. 


"A breakthrough by MIT and Harvard scientists allows efficient conversion of carbon dioxide into stable, safe formate, potentially replacing fossil fuels and suitable for long-term storage and electricity generation."

The simple idea is to make the atomic carbon react with hydrogen. That thing creates ethylene. Ethylene itself is a high-inflammable hydrocarbon that can be used as fuel. But the problem again is carbon emission. It's possible to create the systems that are removing carbon from the exhaust gasses and those filters can be changed. But the problem of transforming CO2 emission into fuel consists of the problem.  

The system must put carbon somewhere. There is the possibility to make closed-cycle diesels that recycle the CO2 through the active carbon filters that remove the carbon from the exhaust gas. That system makes it possible to create emission-free engines. But the system must put the carbon into some place. And also the system must break the benzene-ring from the aromatic hydrocarbons. And the lasers or some laser-acoustic combinations can be effective. 

But that system drives CO2 emission to the chamber where the carbon will reduced by using electromagnetic or some acoustic systems. In an acoustic system, the system gives a soundwave that makes the carbon-oxygen combination oscillate. Then the IR radiation breaks the chemical bond. Then the carbon will be driven to the layer and the pressure impulse pushes it to the form of the carbonite crystal. In some other versions of the chamber the carbon wires there is carbon hair, and then those rotating wires will tie carbon into their structure.

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. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
