Our dying ecosystem and where we stand.

So I dont need to tell you about the revolution in technology that is about to go down. If you are a technology person you must have been hearing it on the news about a lot of things going on about the climate.

The truth is the earth and all life in it could be in danger soon and it wouldn't be because some meteor came into earths orbit and slammed into the earth and caused our extinction nor will the sun burn out nor we fight wars of nuclear and biological warfare. The things we are doing on a day to day is hurting the climate as we know it.

Some of my friends have compared holidays they've taken in cities in comparison to those in the villages and towns closer to nature. Cities cut down trees, soo many trees to create estates where we can leave and burn more energy everyday.

There was once a film i watched cant remember which but what got me sucked and glued till today is the message it rang "HUMANS ARE THE VIRUS OF THE EARTH". No offence to people who may take that statement to heart but there is alot of truth in it.

Humans have not learnt to integrate with the earth, the red Indians of old were good examples of cultures that tried to integrate by realizing the flow of spirits in all living animals. This kind of awareness is what is needed in our present day approach to the Ecosystem.

The ecosystem is dying and dont let any statistics fool you, animals are being slaughtered faster than animals can grow from birth to maturity, fishes same. All these have brought about a trend in IMPROVED crop and animal research. These improved varieties have been able to feed us and reduce the time it tatkes for us to see food to eat.

Ice caps are melting due to the heat generated from the earth in the last century, this heat is generated from hydrocarbon fuels from coal, fuels, diesels and other harmful gases from mined hydrocarbons. The heat from these energies are harmful in such a way that they emit substances which when after burnt are non bio-degradable in the atmosphere so it goes into the atmosphere and clogs the atmosphere there, thereby displacing the natural envelop of ozone that has accumulated for millions or even billions of years which protects us from the direct rays of light from the sun that contain solar radiation in various spectrum of light.

Animals in their natural habitat are forced out or taken into captivity after their habitats have been converted to human towns which like us drives them mad and more violent than if you had left them in their original state.

I guess what i'm trying to say is.

What happened to harnessing the power of the sun using solar or some bio engineered material made of photosynthetic material for building houses and manufacturing cars. 

What happened to afforestation and leaving in more in thick forest areas without having to chop them down. What happened to raising livestock for every home. For something as vital as food, I would imagine people would be more interested in growing food and eating fresh but hardly is the case nowaaday with the unending trend of heavily processed food, fruits and vegetables. 

How about transportation, imagine drone bikes, drone warping, rechargeable cars, piezoelectric roads, solar trains, geothermal stations, rechargeable bikes, biodiesel trucks, generating your own cooking gas from household waste, using fruits bearing trees for beautification of houses as opposed to colourful non fruit bearing flowers, storing charges from a lighting storm.....

After we learn to live as one with our environment and do the friendliest of things for the atmosphere, then we can beat our chests and say we laid a foundation for the future. 

Bio gas in nigeria and the rest of the world

Biogas in Nigeria and the rest of the world

WE DON'T KNOW IT BUT MOST HOUSES IN NIGERIA HAVE SOAKAWAYS THAT CAN GENERATE BIOGAS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Biogas is actually easy to do, after doing a lot of research about large and small scale biogas production I noticed that all it really took was the following;

1. Organic material source.
This was usually waste, from cow dunk, cow blood, pig stys, waste from kitchens and food factories but all in smooth molten form without particles.

2. Holding tanks or digester
These hold all the organic waste materials to be used to generate biogas.
Some designs were underground like how soakaway tanks are built, some were on the ground using pvc tanks.
The set up is anaerobic, meaning that the microorganisms in the waste multiply and breakdown the waste into propane gas and slug that is used for fertilizer.

3. Gas collection tanks
Gas is has to be held in a container briefly before being delivered to where it will be burnt or converted (cooking and electric generator). This can be an air tight drum, or an LP gas container (but the gas needs a special method to to stored using these tanks). If you feed directly you may run out immediately just think of it like a UPS for the gas setup.

4. Gas fittings and pipes.
Gas is flammable so you really wanna be careful with it, everything has to be strongly fixed, tightly fastened and airlocked. Gas valves, thread tapes, pvc gum or potty or adhesives, pvc pipes and hoses.

5. Cooking gas burner for cooking.

6. Biogas generator for electricity.

Ok as an IGBO boy you gotta here this, imagine a world where if everybody was to lazy to do the setup, I could go round and pay people rent to use there setup, channel all that gas while still given the landlords a percentage or a monetary deal and have my own gas grid that generates either power or a gas plant for cooking gas.
Oh! If you could get this gas incorporated into cars! Wouldn't that be sweet and inside of cars queuing for pms they'd come to your gas plants for a refill. 
PMS is equally as dangerous and as highly flammable as biogas so don't frown your face to the dangers of it.
I have been to gas plants where people come and fill 50kg gas bottle in a few minutes, cars would probably run on same 50kg but partitioned so that you don't use it all up at once or the guage can warn you that you have half in your third tank.
Imagine generating electricity from biogas on several generators and having your own powerhouse and you can sell off your energy to people at your cost.

This is asides solar, wind and hydo which are sure boys in the renewable energy sector.

Please na! Someone should read these things and want to fund me like BIGDADDY WHY DON'T YOU COME JOIN ME HOW DOES $5M SOUND, I will blow your minds while still making money for you.

The future is here!
