WATER SOLAR DISTILLATION

This is a method to make even salty or unclean water drinkable. The water solution mimics the water cycle in its natural state: evaporation – condensation – mineralization.

The equipment is made up of a unique filter and a spherical ‘ball’ with two sections. Water that is dangerous or salty is treated in the first compartment, and then recovered, while clean water is stored in the second. The treated water evaporates and condenses on the globe's walls because of the sun's energy.

After producing water, the water is filtered and kept in the tank. This device has the benefit of using solar energy, a resource that is renewable and cost-free.

It can treat any kind of water and has complete autonomy. For the everyday requirements of five individuals, one module is sufficient, making it fairly economical.

It is naturally feasible to couple modules in a series, with each module lasting for more than 30 years and being resistant to the elements.

Conclusion: environmentally friendly first and foremost. What else do you want? To test it for real.

SNOW POWER GENERATION?

One community in northern Japan thinks it can take use of a resource that has been underutilized: snow.Every year, the test city of Aomori spends tens of millions of dollars clearing snow from the city's roadways to throw it into the ocean.

Now, a proving test has begun to see if other uses can be made of the snow. The test started in January and will go until April. It entails pouring snow cleared by municipal plows into a pool of a close by school. The difference in temperature between the snow and the surrounding air will be used to create electricity.

To generate a convection current in a coolant within a turbine, this temperature differential is employed. The snow, the cold air source, will have heat transfer tubes inserted in it. The sun, meantime, warms the outer air. The turbine is turned by the convection stream to generate energy.

They want to produce electricity by 2025 at around 14 cents per kilowatt-hour. According to projections from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, this would be less expensive in 2030 than either offshore wind energy or oil-fired thermal power.

It is possible that snow power will be even more cost-effective to produce electricity since it takes advantage of greater temperature variations than ocean thermal energy conversion. The efficiency of power production increases with temperature changes.

The Japanese IT businesses behind the idea want to bring snow power production to colder parts of Europe and abroad as a low-cost renewable power generating technology with reasonable implementation costs if the final findings prove to be positive.

Aquatic Weed Into Biofuel

Scientists have genetically modified duckweed plants to yield seven times as much oil per acre than soybeans, the presently most-widely utilized source of biodiesel. John Shanklin, a scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy, is the study's primary author of this promising and intriguing concept.

Fuels derived from new and old vegetable oils, animal fat and algae have a significantly smaller carbon impact than fossil fuels.

According to the experts, duckweed, which is widespread around the globe and is among the most prolific plants per acre, has the potential to revolutionize the renewable energy industry for three important reasons.

First, it thrives in water and won't compete for agricultural space with food crops. Second, duckweed could clean up some of the nitrogen and phosphorus that agricultural pollution from sources like pig and poultry farms release into the water.

Third, the scientists inserted an oil-producing gene, which would initially be dormant, then switched it on like a light switch by injecting a certain chemical only after the plant had completed developed.

One of our most pressing problems—how to produce more oil in more plants without hindering growth can be resolved by doing this.

Since duckweed is a non-mainstream crop, it will not be difficult for scientists to develop and manufacture at large-scale altered plants and collect the oil. This will make huge innovation efforts worthwhile.
