Well, over the weekend I came up with an interesting concept to take the CO2 out of the atmosphere using a little trick I learned from Mother Nature.
Have you ever walked on the beach and noticed there's an area where there is just a little bit of water, and not even enough to really cover your feet, or get much higher than your ankles? This is called the swash zone, and it turns out that researchers have found that this process is very good transporting suspended sediment and sand onto the beach.
That's interesting isn't it? Best of all these oceanographers and researchers have figured out mathematically exactly how it all works.
They have mathematical computational modeling for this process.
Now then, I would submit to you that this process will work in any type of fluid dynamics situation.
It'll work with liquids like the ocean water, or with aerodynamics using the air.
Okay so, here is my plan.
I would like to take giant dirigibles or blimps and have the skin, or a secondary skin with holes in it moved back and forth laterally, or from side to side along the exterior of the blimp.
Due to the friction of the air moving over the blimp's surface, just as the water moves over the sand, it would cause the air particles, specifically the pollution molecules to get separated, and therefore sucked behind the outer skin where they would travel through the inner skin or interior of the blimp.
If the blimp was made of carbon nanotubes or at least the outer skin the friction would be significant and create a strong positive charge to better help pull those pollution molecules out of the air.
Since a blimp holds air, we may as well fill it with polluted air while it flies around and cleaning up the air above the city.
As it does so it will become heavier, and thus, have to eventually land.
Once it does we can take the pollution collected and discharge it into a tank, and then go up and get some more pollution from the air.
Think of it as a flying Hoover vacuum cleaner taking all the CO2 out of the air.
Is this some far-fetched crazy science fiction concept? No, not really just using little physics, and some already achieved human knowledge, and looking at the computational mathematical modeling; there is no reason it can't work.
Indeed, it is for this reason that I have brought it to your attention and posted this online.
If you'd like to discuss this in greater detail you may find me online and shoot me an e-mail.
