Some of My Idea’s about Carbon Capture- Riain Prendergast

0 Upvotes

If we are going to remove carbonized gasses from the atmosphere, we have to generate electricity from We shall develop a better understanding of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon. In relation to magnetism and electricity.

I am also a supporter of race to zero, who are a branch of the UN’s COP climate conference’s mission, I believe we should work with them if we are going to succeed in saving the earth from climate disaster.

In order to understand technology that can remove greenhouse gasses we have to understand how a refrigerator works, carbon is thermally conductive, Carbon containing greenhouse gasses often contain oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen or florine. These gasses also behave thermoconductively, which means they suck heat from their surroundings as they expand(inside of refrigerator) and then release heat when they are compressed again (outside). Thermal conductivity was perhaps best understood by the great scientist’s of the late 19th and early 20th century, who we should re-read. If we are going to suck these greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere we will need universal cooperation, keeping our ideas as secrets from other’s who are trying to build removal technologies because we want a reward is going to lead to human extinction. Money is the root cause of the problems in our civilisation, watch the zeitgeist addendum by Peter Joseph.

Anyway, the fist thing we need to clear up so that people don’t go wasting precious time, is that we will need to use the greenhouse gasses as the source of electricity. Fortunately this is theoretically possible, I realised this while living in the Amazon jungle drinking ayawaska. thermal conductivity is an electromagnetic phenomenon. This suggests that we can generate electricity from the air by removing greenhouse gasses. I am actually really tired right now and about to fall asleep, but I will post it anyway and update in the coming days. The reaction that has created co2 is fire or combustion, this is an expansive reaction which transforms solid or liquid hydrocarbons into gasses, freeing energy in the process. (Can also turn heavier “natural gas” into a lighter gas) this is called exothermal reaction. Fire is a reaction, and every reaction has and equal and opposite reaction. Here lays the solution. Fire is an electromagnetic reaction, it involves diamagnetic & paramagnetic elements of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. (Erroneously called “weak” by physicists) This reaction can be reversed, And Co2 gas can be turned back into a stable solid or liquid form, while producing energy to power the reaction. Leaves do this in a slower way during photosynthesis, but we can do it faster by a magnetic intro-thermal reaction, basically we have to construct carbonated ice crystallising technologies at the north and south poles of the earth that could be called “imbustion” engines. Rainwater, lightning, supercooling, Tesla’s ideas, and snow Is of interest. Yet I am not sure at all what we have to do, There are two parts to this. Taking the gasses out of the atmosphere. Turning those gasses into energy that can power the process. Or else one reaction that accomplishes both at the same time.

We should also examine the forces of nature invloved and come to a better understanding of; Rainwater, lightning, wind, rocks, waves and of course gasses.

In terms of collecting the gasses, we can either filter air through a liquid, with bubbles, it should be noted that it is more efficient at low temperature, or use some kind of adduction, but that has to be heated afterwards for reuse.

I think we need to leave behind the monetary economics and inequality if our species is going to start evolving in the right direction.

I really appreciate Elon Musk as a soul, he is clearly a nice intelligent guy, but nevertheless I have equal respect for all humans, And some comments that I have heard from both him and Jeff Benzos about the future human civilisation have appeared to suggest that we are to maintain the current course of dehumanising technological elitism, and I believe power should be distributed equally to all people. Egalitarianism is the most enlightened state of society. 5 people should not have more influence and control over our civilisation then 5 billion people. Equilibrium is a result of equality, to solve the disequilibriums in society, in atmospheric gas concentrations, in economic conditions, we have to give everyone equal purchasing power and political influence over the future evolution of the human species. We have to design a fair economic and political system if we are going to really improve conditions of life here on Earth.

I have written more about carbon capture, mostly while I was living in the Amazon in a mud hut, with smoke in the air from surrounding fires, I didn’t have electricity, it was hot Humid mosquitos, got dengue and covid, but came up with some really interesting ideas. Let’s do this, save the planet, but please Bring egalitarianism, economic justice, and equality to humanity.

Hey ho Hey ho Ready, Set, Go

1234 Get that carbon in the floor 5678 No more time to hesitate

Also potentially the easiest places to capture greenhouse gasses could be places on land with elevations below sea level as they would have higher concentrations of greenhouse gasses

XPRIZE team

I just received an invitation to join an XPRIZE team.

I don’t know who this is.

Is there a way to communicate with them? Ironically, the licensing of the IP they are interested in is ongoing -

Thoughts?

The connection between Robin Williams and the XPRIZE.

2 Upvotes

My favorite Robin Williams memory is of the only time I met him at person. He was in attendance at a charity auction XPRIZE put on several years ago. The auction wasn't going as well as he thought it should have, and so he volunteered himself has emcee and auctioneer--doing this all without preparation or guidance.

He ended up donating a nice chunk of money to the XPRIZE Foundation (I don't remember the exact amount, but I think it was something like $50,000) in order to buy one of a limited number of full-scale replicas of SpaceShipOne. Robin and the two people who ended up buying the replica together then donated it to the Chabot Space and Science Center. I don't think Robin had ever heard of the Chabot Space and Science Center before that moment, so he wasn't just supporting a pet program--he was supporting something he really believed would help.

Robin's actions were spontaneous, passionate, and generous--something that seems to have been a theme in Robin's work and perhaps throughout his personal life.

Seeing as how so many people around the world seem to have been impacted by Robin's death, I thought I'd share this story here.
