Technology that helps the environment?

Question

can someone here give me details about a technology or devices that help save the environment? either preventing or helping the environment itself will do.thanks.

Answer 1

I just thought I'd share the fact that the Toyota Prius is more environmentally damaging than a V8 SUV. The reason for this is the batteries are environmentally damaging to obtain, mantain and replace, and the chemicals in them are environmentally hazardous.

Answer 2

i think cars powered by natural gas is not quite good because natural gas (methane, as someone have said) contributes also to pollution. even biofuels, they are not helping the environment.

in my view, the clean sources of energy are solar panels and the windmills.

Answer 3

let me start off by saying Hydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy.     I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago. Have converted over 50 vehicles in the last 10 years (gydrogen and EV) and now currently run 2 trucks (and another EV), my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel.  I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.

There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I'll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com

    On demand h2 generators are a bit different from the Hollywood versions like seen Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, that tend to explode violently every time a film is being made. However when used in an on-demand system there is no storage of hydrogen and oxygen in its gas form, only liquid (water) and is only transformed into gas “on-demand” in small cylinder size amounts. It’s actually safer then gasoline as it doesn’t evaporate, creating explosive fumes in the tank like gas. the following were actually taken out of my $5 guide available at www agua-luna com

    Chemically

    1. You’ll need a 6inch x 1ft schedule 40 pvc pipe. With pvc cement glue a cap on the bottom and use a s***w on cap for the top. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    2. Now crunch up a couple aluminum cans (beer cans, soda cans etc) and drop them into the pvc pipe, along with a couple cups of lye (Red Devil drain opener has lye in it, some Clorox and Drano’s do to).

    3. Then simply add water, s***w on the top and wait a few minutes.

    What happens in simplicity is that aluminum and lye don’t really get along so they battle, and as always the innocent civilians (water H2O) that the most casualties, by giving up its hydrogen and oxygen. This then builds up in the void of the pipe and is ready to be vented into your engine, by opening the valve. You may need to start your engine on gas then switch it off after the hydrogen starts burning.

    Electrical is a bit easier then Chemically.

    1. Simply take a small solar panel 1.5 amps is what I use ($9 at harborfreight.com), connect the 2 wires from the panel +- to 2 conductors (carbon cores of batteries work well, just be careful removing it from the jacket), but any conductive material will work ie. Copper, aluminum, steel, etc.

    2. Drop the wires into a water tank (I use 55gal drums), make sure they don’t touch each other.

    3. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    4. Then simply add water, s***w on the top cap and wait.

    After a few hours tiny bubbles will form and rise off one conductor (that’s hydrogen) and even smaller bubbles that just looks like foam will rise off the other (oxygen). I don’t remember which likes the positive and which likes the neg hydrogen or the oxygen.

    The third method is more complicated and is what I use for my vehicles. It’s just a modified Joe’s Cell, there’s a step by step DIY guide available to walk you threw the process here www agua-luna com

It also covers the other 2 methods described in more detail.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Stop Global Warming!!!

Answer 4

Coal-mine fires in China and India are huge contributors to global warming.  In China alone, up to 200 million tons of coal goes up in flames each year-which may be equivalent to America’s total carbon-dioxide emissions from gasoline.  India’s mine fires waste up to 10 million tons of coal annually.  The pollution has left much of the land in both countries uninhabitable.

One possible remedy being developed in the United States is nitrogen-laced foam for Coal mine fires.  It was used recently to put out a mine fire in West Virginia.  (Emissions from coal-mine fires in the U.S. are a fraction of Asia’s) Deploying such successful foam in China and India could drastically reduce damage from long-burning fires, which are very difficult to extinguish fully.

Answer 5

There is a machine that absorbs Co2, it collects it.  Called a "scrubber".  Link below:

Answer 6

The environment is a broad topic.The natural environment has many aspects.Anything that humans did not create is part of the natural environment.  This includes land, air, water, animals and other forms of life.  Humans have drastically affected the natural environment through the creation of cars, and other technologies, the development of land and the consumption of natural resources. While it seems that our technological developments have led to environmental degredation, we have also begun to look for technologies that can help improve environmental quality.

Animals

Technology has enabled scientists to help animals reproduce, improve their habitat, and protect them.  There are a few disadvantages and opposing viewpoints to this issue.   Current technologies are now available to save a species from becoming extinct.   From cloning to satellites, technology has helped save many species from extinction, another is in vitro fertilization, or test tube babies.

Air

Introduction of Hybrid cars that reduces the use of fossil fuel (Crude Oil), current use of wind and solar power for use in our electricity generation, research on alternative fuels such as, Hydrogen driven cars, bio diesel, and alcohol based fuels, which are environment friendly due to low emission level if not zero.

Water and Soil

Bioremediation uses microbes and plants to clean up contamination. Examples include the cleanup of nitrates in contaminated water with the help of microbes, and using plants to uptake arsenic from contaminated soil, in a process known as phytoremediation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has used it to clean up several sites. Often, native plant species can be used for site cleanup, which are advantageous because in most cases they don't require pesticides or watering. In other cases scientists are trying to genetically modify the plants to take up contaminants in their roots and transport it all the way to the leaves for easy harvesting.

Desalination of salt water to be converted to drinking water.

I hope this helps

Answer 7

Cars that run on natural gas (methane) are a whole lot cleaner than gasoline powered cars and even hybrids. I have 2 of them, both made by Ford in 1999 and 2000 (not new technology, obviously). They're also a lot cheaper to fill up ($10 in Utah), so it's doubly good. Check out my sources below for the whole story. Good luck!
