The new method of carbon capture

A Coal Plant in India Is Turning CO2 Into Baking Soda

The new method of carbon capture is cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient than the industry standard

In India, one company, CarbonClean, has developed a new way to remove carbon dioxide from the environment, by turning it into baking soda.
CarbonClean is using their new technology at a coal-fired power plant in the city of Tuticorin. The company claims that they can trap more than 66,000 tons of carbon per year at the plant.
Like most CO2 capture technologies, CarbonClean's method uses a solvent that traps the CO2 and converts it into a more inert form. The most common industrial solvent is amine, while CarbonClean's solvent is a new chemical that is slightly more efficient at capturing CO2. It's also cheaper and less corrosive, while the required machinery is smaller and cheaper to build.
Crucially, the chemical's small extra capturing efficiency allows CarbonClean to earn enough money to run the plant without a subsidy. This is possibly the first instance of an industrial plant that can use carbon capture without a subsidy.
CarbonClean is using their captured carbon to make baking soda, which has a number of uses in everything from detergents and baking to glass manufacture and medicine. While other groups have been able to convert CO2 into useful products in the lab, this is the first example in an industrial setting without heavy subsidies.

Of course, carbon capture is far from an ultimate solution to climate change. Carbonclean predicts that only about 5 to 10 percent of the carbon released from coal plants can be captured using their technology. Still, if the world's coal plants can adopt this technology without requiring governments to subsidize it, it could dramatically reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere in the future.

Wireless Charging.

Now charge your phone through your WIFI router Apple is bringing new technology. In Which  iPhone can actually receive signals from a WIFI router. You can charge your iPhone with it. Yes! Now it’s possible and easy. Apple was granted a patent recently, for a system which is fitted to connect to wireless signals, released by routers, in order to charge electronic devices. AppleInsider reveals that the new system would rest on the frequencies we use to transfer data. Data is actually transferred over air to give our phones a continuous source of power. Now, as an Iphone user, you can just walk into a room which has a Wi-fi router and you can automatically connect your phone to the power source. No need to charge it through cords or wires, freeing your phone. Now external packs, charging platforms, wires are a thing of the past. Technology is quite cool, isn’t it? This whole design and technology requires special routers with distinct antennae and circuit system. It

Wrench You Can't Regret

Between adjustable wrenches and socket sets, mankind has plenty of perfectly adequate tools to fasten and loosen nuts. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting this (concept) irising wrench all the same. The design, the brainchild of Seattle designer Jordan Steranka, uses the same system as your camera lens to make the six-sided hole smaller or larger, depending on the type of nut you’re fiddling with. There’s also a light surrounding the aperture, so you can see what you’re trying to unscrew. In theory, it simplifies your life by reducing the number of wrenches you need; in reality, it’s a more expensive/complicated version of two-moving-parts adjustable wrenches that have fixed your sinks for decades. But despite that, it’s so darn pretty, I want one just to hang up in my workshop.

The Powerpack: smallest and Long Standby Mini Cell Phone

What Is Mobile (Powerpack)? A mobile phone, known as a PDA in North America, is a flexible telephone that can make and get brings over a radio repeat interface while the customer is moving inside a phone utility area. The powerpack radio repeat interface sets up a relationship with the trading systems of a mobile phone chairman, which offers access to general society traded telephone arrange (PSTN). Introduce day PDA organizations use a telephone sort out designing, and, thusly, PDAs are called PDAs or cell phones, in North America. Despite correspondence, 2000s-time phones reinforce a variety of various organizations, for instance, content educating, MMS, email, Internet get the opportunity to, short-go remote exchanges (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, PC diversions, and propelled photography. PDAs offering only those limits are known as feature phones or Powerpack phones; PDAs which offer colossally pushed figuring capacities are suggested as PDAs. BUY The Power Pac
