Eggs found to remove salt and microplastics from seawater
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: energy, engineering, food
Other proteins work as well meaning the process can be scaled without interfering with food supplies.
Researchers at Princeton Engineering have found that egg whites can be used to cheaply remove salt and microplastics from seawater, according to a press release by the institution published on Thursday.
The scientists used the food substance to create an aerogel, a lightweight and porous material that can be used in many types of applications, including water filtration, energy storage, and sound and thermal insulation.

Engineers developed a breakthrough method to generate hydrogen gas in one-step process
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: chemistry, energy, nanotechnology
The method requires only visible light and no external heating.
Hydrogen sulfide, infamous for its aroma of rotten eggs, is known to be highly poisonous and corrosive — especially in wastewater applications. Petrochemical plants and other industries make thousands of tons of this gas every year as a byproduct of various processes that separate sulfur from petroleum, natural gas, coal, and other products.
Now, Rice University engineers and scientists have devised a new way for such petrochemical industries to turn the noxious gas into “high-demand” hydrogen gas.

One-stroke is Enough! E-Rex Petrol Engine Revealed
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: economics, energy, transportation
FOR as long as internal combustion has ruled the roads, vehicles have been fitted with just three basic types of engine: four-stroke, two-stroke, and rotary.
Each differs from the next with regard to its power density and fuel economy, but the general premise of each is very similar. Air and fuel go in, get ignited, and push the piston (or rotor) which in turn rotates the crankshaft creating motion.
