Hola Readers, as you might know from the multiple social media universities that today is World Environment Day, here we continue to spread the awareness about technologies that are very environment friendly.
Basic context for the bloomers: – Every year this year we pretend to care about environment and things and post about it, sitting at our offices. Only, this year, there’s an interesting turn and we all are locked up in our houses, (atleast our Government thinks so)…
Advancement in Technology takes toll on the eco-system and many decades have gone by ignoring this fact only to realise that we’ve done a lot of damage to the planet and if we want to live, we must take care of it as of now. To serve this purpose, many inventors come up with different ideas and here I’m listing a few of them.
1. Electric Vehicle
We all know that the fuel we are currently feeding to our vehicles isn’t unlimited like GTA Cops and will soon end and then we will be forced to ride bicycles again. But, in 1884 an English inventor came up with the idea of Electric Vehicles and now this idea is taken forward by many automobile industries, the one I can remember right now is Tesla, which only builds Electric Vehicles and are always innovative with the features.
2. Graphene filter for salt water
Earth is a sphere of water, but only 0.3% of it is available for us to drink. The salt water is just way too salty to drink and you just can’t drink it man! Though there are many desalination plants all over the world, the process is very energy and money consuming and it uses some type of already exhausting resources.
A carefully designed graphene filter made from a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice is invented by UK based scientists. This type of graphene layer can do all kinds of cool stuff, but scientists are currently using it to develop a graphene oxide sieve that could filter out salts — and can do it far more effectively than current desalinization plants, at a fraction of the cost.
3. Biodegradable Bullets
Those who doesn’t believe in violence are alive because of people who protect them in violent wars. But those empty bullet coverings do a much damage to the environment as they tend to be the same way for years and release a lot of harmful chemicals in the soil.
The US Army is working on a project to make bullets out of composite materials that can perform equally well with the targets while being gentle to the environment at the same time. Even better, the finalized product will have hibernating seeds with them. A plant for a kill.
4. Bacteria harnessing energy from sunlight and CO2
If this thing sounds like Plant, you know how things work. This specially engineered bacteria coats themselves with nano crystals that in turn acts like solar cells that converts light and carbon dioxide into energy and the new bacteria is also fed to it. Not only this process is much more efficient than plants and it has a higher potential for CO2 removal from the system.
5. Streetlight running on Car Batteries
For every good deed there is an equivalent bad deed that may or may not happen intentionally. With the increase in Electric Cars in market, there is a surge in e-waste that is very hard to dismantle and recycle. For cars to work efficiently, the batteries must be working in perfect condition.
Nissan came up with a revolutionary project ‘The Reborn Light’, which used battery from the cars are being used in lighting the streets with the LED-equipped lights powered by those used batteries, though the are making money from it, it is still a good way for recycling the batteries.
Getting through it. TechX 
Great post! Keep writing
