Living in a house of glass fiber

Permanent home, summer residence or weekend, the idea of Tafoni floating home is inspired by the seaside suburb of Sausalito, across the bay from San Francisco (California). The young American designer Joanna Borek-Clement was inspired by this environment "is an example of peaceful coexistence between humans and nature," which makes it unnecessary to produce own construction waste on land. In this case, just release mooring, both to stop home to change their views.
With a winding design, the interior is conceived as an environment open to the views, the feeling of space, although they contain size of 89 m2, is achieved with high ceilings (one of the problems that the author has singled out), the total height of the housing is 5.2 meters, while on the carrier to take advantage of four meters.

California Rocks
The unique geological rock formations of the California coast, which gives this home sea name, oval design inspired interior. And to save space and panoramic, have only been designed completely in height solid walls in the bathroom and dressing room.
These open walls filled with natural light and divide the house into three rooms. The central part consists of an all-glass sunroom which contains the kitchen, dining room and main entrance of the boat. The front is occupied by the living room and the back of a bedroom, both overlooking the bay. Regarding the use of materials in a hypothetical future performance of the project, freeing the designer of choice for the armor of the ship, between glass fibers and concrete, proposes the latter as the best solution for the low price and the erosion the constant rise and fall of the tide on the California coast.

At the moment there has been appraised price, and although it is hard to find a buyer, who wishes to inhabit the Tafoni have to move on foot, because the garage is not included. All things considered, it is always a good way to help health and the environment.

La carga de los coches eléctricos

El Centro de Investigación de Recursos y Consumos Energéticos (CIRCE) y Endesa presentaron ayer de forma oficial el proyecto CRAVE, cuyo objetivo es diseñar un punto de recarga rápida de vehículos eléctricos que permita el almacenamiento de energía y la integración de renovables.

Se trataría del primer cargador de estas características en Aragón y "probablemente también en España", apuntó José Sanz, director de la división eléctrica y subdirector del CIRCE, que expuso la intención de que el el cargador pueda estar ya colocado "a finales de año".

El proyecto, que dispone de un presupuesto de 500.000 euros y una duración de dos años, persigue "integrar el punto de recarga rápida en la red de distribución, permitiendo que se pueda entregar la potencia que demanda el coche en ese momento", expuso el subdirector de Tecnología e Innovación de Endesa, Jorge Sánchez.

• http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/

El director general de Endesa en Aragón, Jaime Gros, destacó que con este proyecto, en el que participarán alumnos de la Escuela de Ingenieros y galardonado con el premio internacional NOVARE, otorgado por Endesa, se dará "el próximo paso" para que los coches eléctricos se integren "y sean una realidad dentro de muy pocos años" en la sociedad y recordó que el CIRCE es "una apuesta que tuvo la Universidad de Zaragoza, el Gobierno de Aragón y Endesa hace quince años".

Los vehículos eléctricos que, actualmente, cuentan con una batería de "15 ó 16 kilovatios" tienen planteados unos tiempos de carga "de unos quince minutos", tiempo en el que se podría cargar "un 60% de la batería aproximadamente", explicó Sánchez, que estableció un precio aproximado de "2 euros" en el coste de carga del coche para realizar 100 kilómetros.

En este caso, el proyecto convertirá al vehículo y a su instalación de recarga en elementos estabilizadores del sistema eléctrico, ya que el poste de recarga servirá para desvincular temporalmente la recarga de la red eléctrica, eliminar los picos de consumo eléctrico y proporcionar estabilidad a la red.

The Japanese car maker Mitsubishi has begun production at its factory in Mizushima Nippon electric car

The Japanese car maker Mitsubishi has begun production at its factory in Mizushima Nippon electric car with European specifications for markets of the Old Continent, according to a statement released by the company.

• http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/

Specifically, Mitsubishi has begun manufacturing its i-MiEV electric car and two other vehicles of this type for the French group PSA, the Peugeot and Citroën C iOn-Zero. All of them hit the market later this year.

Mitsubishi started making last year the i-MiEV to the Japanese market. Now they export, within the target set by the company to sell 5,000 units of this car out of Japan in the 2010-2011 fiscal year that began last April.

The multinational Japan plans to start marketing the i-MiEV gradually in fourteen European countries, including Spain, France, Germany and the UK, from the month of December 2010. In connection with the Japanese version, the i-MiEV to the European market, with a range of 150 kilometers, includes front and rear bumpers, redesigned active stability control (ASC), new gear selector and new dashboard.

What is the environmental impact of wind turbines whose blades have multiplied by almost the entire country?

Unlike traditional power plants, the great advantage of these huge modern mills is that they provide clean energy from simple wind, cleanly, and leave hazardous waste. However, this does not remove that, throughout its life cycle, also cause various types of conditions on the environment. http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/

Before getting to spin its blades to generate kilowatt clean, will have been necessary to manufacture different parts, transport and assemble in place. And that means transforming resources, generate emissions and use other energy not so clean, ie pollution. How soon these machines to produce the energy that has cost manufactured and assembled? Not long: 153 days.

This is at least what felt Eduardo Martinez House, head of R & D in Group Wind Riojanas and associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of La Rioja, from cycle analysis (LCA) of a wind turbine Gamesa G8X two-megawatt (MW) installed in the wind farm Munilla (also in La Rioja). Considering that this machine has a lifespan of 20 years (guaranteed time generally by manufacturers), this means that before the hypothetical decommissioning will have generated 47.4 times the energy needed for its manufacture. This is rather more than is achieved with a few solar panels, it is estimated that one of these solar installations produced in its 30 year life about 16 times the energy used in its creation if it is in Seville, 15 times if in Madrid and 13 times if you are in Barcelona (1).

By later this researcher of La Rioja has continued working on new studies to provide greater precision to these results. One of the factors that can change the environmental impact of these machines is wear suffering and maintenance to be performed. "Not that they have to change many parts, but these are very big," Martinez said House, who has analyzed the increase in the impact may be somewhat offset by the repair and reuse of components. "A shovel weighs around six tonnes, suppose that during the 20-year life of the machine must be changed once the complete rotor breakage of the three blades. That means re-build three blades, they are reassembled in the wind and send to landfill the old. "

In a wind of 70 meters high and 80 meter rotor, usually the party with the greatest impact are the blades and the foundation. Another key factor that can alter the environmental balance in the turbines is what happens to each of its components to become waste. Unlike the tower, whose steel can be recycled, hence the most problematic component is the rotor, the blades, which are made of a composite blend of fiberglass and epoxy resin (in the larger blades are also used carbon fiber .) Although not yet spent enough time so that no wind farm reaches the 20 years he estimated could reach the end of his life and there are no experiences of decommissioned plants, it is going to be replaced paddles damaged. And so, the fate of this piece, today, is the landfill. However, as calculated Martínez House, which could be recycled this component would reduce the overall impact of the wind at 6%. It may not seem a very high percentage alone, but as the researcher, suggests the importance of recycling every piece for the entire wind turbine.

In the analysis methodology Life Cycle used by this teacher of La Rioja include the effects related to impact categories standardized as ecotoxicity, land use, fossil fuels, climate change, carcinogens, ozone layer ... However, no takes into account a number of environmental impacts that are most important may have a wind turbine, is the case of visual pollution or damage to the birds.

As regards the impact on the landscape, it is often difficult to measure because it is a factor quite subjective. Still, it seems clear that can be increased by increasing the number of wind farms that are already 20,000 MW marked as a target for 2010. The trend is to place less wind, but larger.

As to the bird mortality caused by the blades of these machines there are many studies with very different results. What is the real impact of these turbines? "I can not say or whether high or low, depends very much on the location, may be zero or very large," says Manuela de Lucas, a researcher at the Department of Ethology and Biodiversity Conservation of the Biological Station of Doñana, which almost 15 years studying this problem.

As specified, the species most affected is the griffon vulture, as their way of flying is just to plan with the wind. According to the predictive model developed, rather than the proximity to the populations of these birds, the damage of wind turbines appear to depend on which are placed in currents of air used by these animals to move. "There are rows of wind turbines kill a lot and others only a few meters and do nothing," he says.

global demand for biodiesel amounts to 37,850 million liters in 2015

global demand for biodiesel amounts to 37,850 million liters in 2015. Currently, 30 countries have set targets for biofuels and are simultaneously using biodiesel and traditional fuel. Europe's goal is that biodiesel accounted for 7% of consumption, while Brazil and Indonesia is to assume 10%.

The developing countries supplied 50% of global demand for biofuels and their long-term commitment to renewable fuels has been demonstrated by the fact that since 17% of global biodiesel demand is concentrated in the hemisphere South. The EU is the largest consumer of biodiesel, with 44% of demand, followed closely by Asia-Pacific region, with 39% and well ahead of the U.S..

Agricultural land in Europe comprise 164 million hectares of farmland and 76 million hectares of grazing land. Agricultural waste of food crops and pastures are an important material for the production of biofuels.

The IIASA research institute multilateral Vienna, Austria, has calculated that it could produce up to 246 megatonnes of biomass for biofuel and bioplastics from crop residues, representing 50% of the biomass crop. This material could be used without adversely affecting production of fertilizers and soil. With this use of agricultural residues would be needed 15 to 20 million hectares of arable land under crops to produce biofuels.

Innovation
The demand for fuel (or plastic) from biomass competes with food crops. Experts at Cornell University have calculated that, for an average American car run for a year using biodiesel fuel or ethanol would require 4.4 hectares of agricultural land, if not used for this purpose, produce food to meet the needs of seven people.

However, this is only part of the problem: the amount of energy consumed to produce ethanol from food crops is greater than the amount of energy generated by the combustion of ethanol. The main problem is that in the initial solution is to remove the ethanol, which is at a level of 8% with a purity of 99.8% water, which is a percentage of 92%.

If this is added the crude reality of the corn land erodes at a rate 12 times greater than the speed of land reclamation and irrigation of corn deteriorates the groundwater at a rate 25 times greater than the natural rate parts, this situation is not sustainable. If all U.S. cars will use only fuel ethanol, would need to spend 97% of U.S. land to cultivate corn needed for this purpose. Therefore, the production of plastics and fuels from corn is hardly a sustainable substitute for fossil fuels.

Professor Carl-Goran Heden, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, director of the department of Microbiology at the Karolinska Institute for several years and died in June last year, introduced the concept of the biorefinery in the early 1960s with In order to solve the dilemma of using land to grow food or to produce fuel or plastics.

His idea for the processing of biomass was similar to the fact that crude oil is broken down and recombined into 100,000 different molecules, thus generating energy. Although numerous research institutes like the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the University of Wageningen did studies on this subject, was Professor Jorge Alberto Vieira Costa, Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG) of Brazil, who put into practice, but not with plants but algae.

Professor Jorge Costa began in the 1990 research with freshwater algae, found naturally in the Mangueira alkaline lake in southern Brazil, in order to solve the problem of malnutrition in the region. His ideas for increased production led to the expansion of the program, which went from focusing only on food security also cover climate change mitigation.

Algae production was a success, but also greater awareness of the use of CO2 as a nutrient for algae represented a new opportunity to reduce excess emissions of CO2 from power plant in the area, operating with coal, and convert the detention basin in a production of algae.

A detailed study revealed that production capacity, if there is excess production of algae for human consumption, one can extract lipids from algae to produce biofuels. Dr. Michele Greque, a colleague of Professor Jorge Costa, took the biorefinery to the next level and saw that it could produce esters (and polyester) from waste, which was a convincing proof that the biorefinery could produce food, fuel and plastics from CO2.

The first money
The Brazilian team successfully built its first production unit in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre in 2008 and although the project is still in its infancy, the demonstration that the unit has the technical and financial capacity needed to make greenhouse gas gases in the raw material for food, fuel and plastics have been obtained funding for the research needed to perfect this technique, which makes the idea of producing biofuels from algae is more promising.

Similarly, the Italian company Novamont, the largest manufacturer of bioplastics in Europe has evolved and has gone from being an innovator in the field of plastics to be a company currently focused on construction of biorefineries, the first of them is already operation in Terni, Italy.

After an investment of approximately EUR 100 million in innovative plastics and get a portfolio of 100 patents, Dr. Catia Bastioli, founder and CEO of the company, extended this project by creating a joint venture with 600 local farmers who supply products for local consumption.

This strategy of reusing uncultivated land for production and to ensure that all biomass is processed (not only the starch and vegetable oils) increase the income from land, factory production and the cost of products and generates a large amount of money, as proposed by blue economy.

The oil and petrochemical refineries should give ideas to chemical engineers to find similar production methods of biomass derived from complex. As oil breaks down into 100,000 different molecules, biomass should not occur in silos for their production does not leave a large volume of unused waste there. It's time to actually carry into practice the concept of the biorefinery. Now that the projects in Brazil and Italy have shown that biorefineries are technically feasible, economically and socially, it is likely that in a short period of time, launch more projects of this type.global demand for biodiesel amounts to 37,850 million liters in 2015.

Problems of the sexual in the water of the swimming pool or jacuzzi

The water is often in many of the sexual fantasies of men and women. From the bedroom, through the sophisticated jacuzzi, swimming pool or the postcard of a beach at sunset and wet bodies by the waves that come and go incessantly.

• http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/

The sexologist Maria Mercedes Uribe advised to seize the benefits of water in the preamble, but end up on land, for even clear that the water penetration causes pain to the woman because the water does not end with the natural lubrication of vagina excited, it happens that a penis next to the water enters the vagina.

What happens? Although vital, the water is not a good lubricant and does not facilitate penetration. Oral sex is also fun and exciting, but under the water can become a tragedy, as swallowing will end with some certainty a lot of water. And is not the idea.

Grains in the middle
Not to mention the beach and sand. Exciting: the waves come and go, wet, wind, breeze on naked bodies and rubbing them, but what about the sand? Nothing! Not a good ally, and if no precautions are taken, all vital eroticism can go overboard by tiny grains.

And often there is the detail, because the pool water, sea, or the tub and it provides a fascinating sexual experience can transmit infections or irritations product of soap, sand, sea, or bacteria found in swimming pools. That's not exciting.

Electric Motorcycle Hall of Cologne Car manufacturers are interested in the electric bike

• http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/

Emission-free mobility in large cities is one of the objectives proposed in the automotive sector. In this context, car manufacturers are developing small cars powered by electric motors, yet to be developed independently but enough for daily activity in the cities. Aware of the potential that they can provide in their bottom line and brand image, the development of new products of four wheels is added another segment, two wheels, in which to apply the new technology. The scooter is pure urban bike and she and some firms have been interested.

At the International Motor Show in Paris could see these projects, some already as reality, which will go on sale next year and others as initial prototypes will soon become the final product. The supply of electric motorcycles and scooters above does not end in Paris, which these days is celebrated Motorcycle Show in Cologne, where the industry has put much of their expectations for 2011.
Europeans send

In the Peugeot stand, the first among the car manufacturers that has developed an electric scooter, was introduced e-Peugeot Vivacity, which will be marketed in early 2011. It features a 2.7-kilowatt electric motor that equates to a moped and a range of between 80 and 100 kilometers. Next to him, the French firm showed the E-Satelis concept, based on their successful GT scooter.

Mini has put his interest in transferring the design of their cars to two wheels with E-Scooter Concept, a year after presenting the electric version of his car, the Mini-E. The main lines, the lights and decorations are based on the tradition of the brand owned by BMW. With new solutions like the inside of the dashboard, which is a fixing adapter clips which holds the iPhone. This mobile phone doubles as key and screen indicators. Once the conductor that connects your phone adapter, the scooter is ready to run. It may also include Bluetooth connection with helmets Mini collection. The electric motor is located in the rear wheel and is powered by a lithium-ion battery. Recharging is done in the conventional network, through a cable that is hidden on the side. As an option you can choose between single or dual seat and a wide range of colors and exclusive decorations.

Smart, the Daimler Group company, has already prepared its electric car in an effort to contribute to the friendly mobility. In Paris you can see for the first time the Smart Escooter, powered by a four-kilowatt electric motor located in the rear wheel system that reduces power loss. It is equipped with a lithium-ion battery for next-generation 48-volt which gives a range of 100 km with a full recharge conventional plug up to five hours.

Top speed reaches the Escooter Smart is 45 miles per hour. The system includes ABS brakes and has the peculiarity that is activated with a single brake lever placed in the right hand. While the action of braking the rear wheel is electric, hydraulic front brake is equipped with ABS. During braking, the motor acts as generator to convert the energy from braking into electricity that is stored in lithium ion battery. But this is not the only way to recharge your battery has, as in the front are willing small solar panels, which underpin the charging even when the Smart Escooter circulation. The Smart Drive lets you use the iPhone as on-board computer, with speedometer functions, battery charge indicator or browser.
Other electrical motorbike

The ecological evolution of the motorcycle industry is developing at the time that car manufacturers are rushing to offer less-polluting products. The electric bike and takes a few years becoming a reality in the Spanish market, with brands like Vectrix. They were the first to go for this option, with a GT scooter that cost them enter the market by its innovative power system. Piaggio has opted for hybrid technology and has attached to its revolutionary MP3 three-wheeled machine. Honda, meanwhile, has introduced the system Start / Stop on two wheels. This mechanism, which has become customary in recent car models, it incorporates one of his latest creations, the PCX 125. All proposals are aimed at reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

21% of Spanish companies expected to have electric vehicles in their fleets by 2013

21% of Spanish companies expected to have electric vehicles in their fleets by 2013, representing an increase in purchase intent than 8% compared to last year. This bias is higher among large companies for small and medium enterprises. 23% of large companies ensures that incorporate electric cars to their fleets over the next three years, while among SMEs that intention was expressed by 21%.

Data are collected in "The Company Car Observatory (CVO), promoted by the leasing company Arval, which advocates the need for participation of public administrations and public bodies, as well as large corporations to the introduction of such vehicles in the car park a success. Today, governments representing only 5% of long-term rentals in Spain.

The study also shows that companies are still "serious obstacles to economic and technical at the time of incorporating electric vehicles to its fleet before it becomes a realistic alternative to consider." In this way, 68% of companies considered excessive the price of electric cars, which can reach three times that of a conventional car with similar benefits.

Another drawback for the purchase of electric cars is the lack of infrastructure. 59% of companies surveyed say lack of charging points as the main barrier to decide, while 51% considered an obstacle to the implementation of the electric car the lack of suitable models for their activity and inadequate network workshops are able to maintain and repair the technology. Doubts about their road safety and on their "green impact" real arouse suspicion among the 12% of users.

In addition, the Company Vehicle Monitoring reveals that today vehicles with low-power label remain as the preferred alternative and more realistic for Spanish companies to save costs, "well above efficient as other technologies the hybrid or natural gas. 12% of Spanish firms already have fuel efficient cars (Eco2, Econetic, Bluetec, etc.) Or even Fluela Flex vehicles (biofuels), while only a small percentage of hybrids available (2%) or power (2 %) in their vehicles. With regard to cars powered by LPG or natural gas, also have a minimal presence among Spanish companies (3%), although behind the EU (5%).

Harnessing the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted in the industry to have about swimming pools, and reduce their impact on the way climate change.

Is the proposal of pioneering research at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). But that would not end the benefits of this new system due to CO2 would reduce the need for chlorine, and thus its negative consequences for the environment and health.

CO2 pools: benefits for the environment and health

The research, published in the journal Chemosphere, demonstrates in a pioneering way the benefits to the environment and health of replacing the hydrochloric acid or CO2 salfumant to control the acidity (pH) in the pools, and in combination with the disinfectant (hypochlorite sodium).

The pools function as capture and storage of CO2 to combat climate change. This gas is a byproduct of the industry that if it is bottled for use in swimming pools not reach the atmosphere. According to one of those responsible for the article, Anton Gomà, Physical Activity Service of the UAB, the amount is small, about four tons of the gas in a year (similar to the emissions of a car), but if all pools, SPA or spas use, your contribution would be interesting.

The treated water would also be less polluting CO2. The use of hydrochloric acid changes the electrical conductivity of water. It affects living organisms when the pool water is discarded into the sewer. With the CO2 does not produce this phenomenon. By increasing water quality, the pool is not so often to replace this increasingly precious liquid and reducing its ecological footprint.

Health also is the beneficiary. The chlorine consumption declines by 25%, and thus its negative impacts, such as the formation of trihalomethanes and chloramine contaminants. These harmful substances are produced in the reaction of sodium hypochlorite with organic waste water and produce the characteristic "chlorine smell" in the pools or irritation of mucous membranes.

By removing the hydrochloric acid prevents the possibility of accidentally mixed with sodium hypochlorite. When this combination releases a large amount of toxic gas that can cause pulmonary edema and even death. Is a typical accident in pools is repeated as a trickle in more or less impact (evacuation, hospitalization, detention, etc.)..

Pools, did a health risk?

Recently there has been talk of possible negative effects of chlorine in pools. According Gomà is not determined to occur in the longer term, such as genotoxicity, cancer, impaired immune system, etc., Or at least not that make more than other normal activities. However, the expert points out the immediate effects demonstrated and experienced by many people: the bronchoconstriction. The respiratory system, especially of people routinely exposed to oxidants in the environment, detect this type of aggression and closes to protect the alveoli. The effect is a feeling of choking, shortness of breath or asthma attacks.

The official position of the World Health Organization (WHO) is that the final balance between doing sports in a pool and possible chemical or bacteriological contamination are opting for the former. However, the UAB researcher, explains that, except for indoor pools that have good maintenance record, try to avoid them, and even more the SPA with tap water.

Costs and system operation

The economic issue is one of the main drawbacks of this system: its use is costing ten times that of conventional hydrochloric acid (4,000 euros, compared to 350 per year for a pool of 1,000 m3). In total, the cost of implementing the system is about 6,000 euros per glass pools, about 5,500 euros more expensive than using salfumant. However, proponents say is a very low operating budget of a sports facility with an area of water.

The ignorance of the system, despite decades ago sold for pools, also plays against him. In any case, installation is not of too complex: you need a space to store CO2 and a gas diffusion inside the recirculating water filters. As a control system is worth the same as that which governs the dosing pump hydrochloric acid.

UAB researchers conducted experimental research over four years in two pools at the university and in another the Consell Català de l? Esport in Barcelona. The pool water was treated with CO2 and hydrochloric acid in alternating periods, and scientists examined the composition of water and air near the surface (to breathe the bathers). According Gomà, no one had noticed before the effects found in this study: the fact implement the system at a university, first for security reasons, allowed the synergies necessary to start the investigation.

Anton Gomà addition, work has taken part Guisasola Albert, Charlotte Taya, John A. Baeza, Albert Bartrolí and Javier Lafuente, Department of Chemical Engineering at UAB, and Mireia Baeza and Jordi Bartrolí, Department of Chemistry at UAB.
