"Artificial foam" tracks climate change and absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide

China Education Equipment Purchasing Network News: Recently, the list of "2010 Earth Awards" has been announced, designed by David Wendell and Carlo Monetmagno of the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA The "artificial foam" won this award. This special foam can track climate change, absorb carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere, and produce sugar substances that are expected to be converted into biofuels. It is reported that this artificial foam design was inspired by the meringue foamy nest of the Tungara frog.

Installed in the chimneys of coal-fired power plants, this foam can capture carbon dioxide and lock it into sugar before it enters the atmosphere to affect the climate. Due to the foam structure of this artificial material, its ability to convert carbon dioxide to sugar is five times that of ordinary power plant emission reduction devices. At present, this artificial foam invention has won a prize of 10,000 US dollars.

Wendell pointed out that artificial foam can convert carbon dioxide into industrial sugar, but he still has no way to convert this sugar into biofuel. This technology for conversion to biofuels is crucial. It will reduce the pressure on the production of crops that produce biofuels and will keep prices of major crops such as grains and rice stable.

Wendel said: "The design of this artificial foam was inspired by the bufo bufo living in South America. The bufo's nest can produce a large amount of white foam that is rich in protein. This protein does not damage the cell membrane of the bufo's egg The white foam contains 11 different enzymes. These enzymes come from bacteria, plants and fungi. The foam mixes carbon dioxide into sugars at a rate much faster than the emission reduction devices of ordinary power plants. "

Rick Fedrizzi, chairman of the US Green Building Council, is one of the jury members of the Earth Award. He said: "The entries in this competition are full of innovative design concepts. In addition to the award-winning artificial foam, there are several Excellent invention. "

Federici also appreciates the "Sustainable Shell (Sustainable Shell)", which is a biodegradable house model, the construction material comes from the soil, he said: "If you live in the Serengeti Plains in Africa, you can remove the soil Nothing other than water can be obtained, but based on this characteristic, smart designers can design more robust and sustainable shell-shaped buildings. "

Another designer who entered the final was Jamie Lim. He is a Malaysian ethical designer. He has hand-made a variety of bamboo sunglasses. This is a fast-growing and degradable material, which is also relative to plastic. More preferable low carbon material.
