This is actually a very interesting concept, it could lead to a whole bunch of new sustainable developments for turning pollution into something useful.
Exactly! Next we can try to solve different types of pollution. Littering, plastic pollution, so many things could be solved if we manage to harness the pollution and the materials in the right way to make it useful!
For those wanting to know more about "The air-ink device". It is fitted onto the back of cars exhausts to collect emissions. The device is called Kaalink and it produces air-ink which you can buy from the company, Graviky. Good to see sustainable supply chain considerations. However, I do think it is a bit ingenuine to say the tile is made from air pollution when only the ink is.
Karthik Mitta what the heck dude seriously. If we as humans are to have any chance towards sustaining a better future, narcissists like you should learn to have hope. There are many people out there who don’t care about the planet and others, however I believe that there is more GOOD out there than BAD. Practise faith, for you’re gonna need it later on in life.
is that tile affordable compared to normal tiles ? how much carbon footprint does it leave for making one tile ? some basic questions not answered in this video .
At 1:46 he uses the word upcycle. I thought the difference between upcycling and recycling was that upcycling doesn't break apart the discarded good back into its materials. I assume the chips he's referring to _do_ get pulverised into a reusable mash, however -- so doesn't he mean recycle, instead?
@@C4pt41nN3m0 the tile moulds are fixed, they wouldn't be able to tolerate misshapen pieces, unless of course those pieces were pulverised and remade, rather than repurposed (which would be upcycling). Perhaps my definitions are mixed up, though my understanding is upcycling is better because it doesn't require energy to destroy goods for them to be reused (which is what recycling is?)
I heard about this before in another vid. There is this machine just like a 3D printer but it uses cement. I believe this was in one of @THAT AMAZED ‘s vids.
seriously, this is another feel good project, with very low real world impact, Iam a shift in charge engineer in a thermal power plant. I know the various sources of coal, amount of ash and other stuff in major coal varieties, ESP working efficiency, stack emission norms etc... guys please do something better, a flyash brick is more impacting, more useful, more cost effective and involves unskilled labour.
I mean, I don't know how accessible flyash is to this guy, so I'd assume he's working with what he has access to especially since he's not the one directly harvesting the emission
@@Sheen023 I think the idea is that flyash is easier to acquire than CO2 being pulled out of the air, which isn't necessarily what the person in the video is doing, I think, don't take this as me knowing the difference between the two
Such a great work! But I would suggest to please share the links to get in contact with such innovative people as that can help in easy access to their products.
good initiative and a nice way to utilise carbon emissions.I think this idea has a tremendous potential for a country like India. would like to see this tiles produced in mass production.
Damn, it tooked them 3 years to develop the right formula. Talking about dedication, I will drop that shit like a hot potato if no result within 3 hours...
Interesting. What is overall carbon footprint of this process? What is the energy requirements for carbon capture technology as well as tiles manufacturing?
Great idea!!! Love this sustainable directive!! Hopefully there aren't any emissions caused by using this tile though (like when it's heated by the sunlight or just in general) so that it can really take off!
I am not genius like these awesome people who invented crazy solution for balancing environment and globalization but at least what i can do is not littering, reducing plastic uses(no straw, no plastic bag) and plant trees in my backyard and maybe in the future my kids or grandkids will become like one of them I hope some big guys up there give alot of donation or invesment to this invention(and others similiar like) and make us, common people can use it (affordable and easy to get)
