Some plumbing problems in space! :shock::icon_smile:....13 ppl up there!..
So which way does the toilet flush in space?...Thought they recycled and used that stuff for food?..:silent::tard:ukeright: ...This is a very valuable study of interest for my green/clean tech thread..People seem to dump it and forget...Toronto is beginning to get the bigger picture of waste managment...PU!
Astronauts Troubleshoot Waste and Hygiene Compartment
[SIZE=-2]Sun, 19 Jul 2009 10:10:21 -0500[/SIZE]
International Space Station flight controllers and crew members are troubleshooting a problem with the Waste and Hygiene Compartment (WHC), the toilet in the U.S. Destiny module. It is one of two toilet systems aboard the space station. Initial indications are that the liquid separator is flooded. The WHC was delivered to the station on STS-126 and installed later by the station crew.
While an inconvenience, this is not a serious issue. Temporarily, the six station crew members all will use the facilities in the Russian Zvezda module and the seven space shuttle Endeavour astronauts will use the shuttle facilities, the Waste Collection System, or WCS.
Waste and Hygiene Compartment Update
[SIZE=-2]Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:43:13 -0500[/SIZE]
Earlier today, the U.S. Waste and Hygiene Compartment (WHC) was shut down after a malfunction. The WHC is the toilet in the U.S. Destiny laboratory, one of two toilet systems aboard the International Space Station. Currently, station crew members are using the Russian Zvezda bathroom while shuttle astronauts are using the shuttle system.
The WHC’s Dose Pump failed after running for about 15 minutes. About six liters of pre-treat flush water is believed to have flowed into the pump separator and into other areas it should not be. Ground experts have decided to replace sections of the system with spare parts that are on orbit, and that work will be started this afternoon.
Meanwhile, STS-127 Mission Specialist Koichi Wakata repaired the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device, or ARED, with a new “dashpot,” a shock absorber that helps prevent the vibrations caused by exercise from interfering with science experiments.

TG Daily - Charge your cell phone using kinetic energy
I like the idea of kenetic power being used to recharge batteries on technology like lap tops/cell phones/other gadgets...
Back packers /Bikers/environmental researchers, people who ejoy gettin lost in the environment...would stand to gain the most from these new technologies..
Many great ideas and inventions just waiting for more investors to catch on to ..And they are quicker than ever before.. ..
Have a great day ...L8R
Thanks for reading ..Hope you enjoy

Wouldn't it be great if we could just scrub and clean away those nasty c02 emmisions .Have them all vanish without harm into thin air..but until then here's some new "CLEANER" tech ways given it a shot ..

Yeah ..I thought there would be more ways to clean up co2 too ..I'll keep looking ..The problem with finding good ways to clean up co2 emissions is there seems to be no political /big biz interest /no demand.No $$$ in it ..Governments have got to give incentives / push /enforce new regulations through whatever means necessary ...Or new cleaner technologies will stall before they even start...We need to find better ways to remove co2 and other harmful emmisions from our breathing air.More than ever before we need to push ol school govs and big biz to change their ol' dirty polluting ways and switch to cleaner alternatives .Invest more in Clean/Green R&D ..The science and inventions are there..The technology is available ..So lets implement/invest/buy these new Clean technologies now..It's always better than later..Later is too late..
Green/clean technology is the future.. So what are we waitng for..

Assisted Migration?..There's more to iTt ALL ,than 1 might think!
..Conservation biology ?.Assisted Migration? .There's more to iTt. ALL, than 1 might think!.
Watched this story on CBC last night ...Just had to comment on it...It is a great issue to discuss
Changing Climate, Changing Trees | CBC News:The National
.
Environmental scientists already know the how deep this issue can go...But, I feel ,most would mostly agree .
Let nature be, to evolve naturally .Cuz In the end, although some have/ will try .You can't manage Ecology..
Interfereing/relocating /over assisting, always causes problems..For both the naturally occuring wildlife and the introduced wildflife..
Studying /testing science is fine in designated study areas, where surrounding environment is not affected and is closely monitored ..For educational purposes..
1 case at a time..
We should not introduce new species, plant life ,trees or any foreign life, to an area, where it has not naturally evolved into the environment(humans exempt to a point.Only if they want to be here,Are willingly to adapt,.and get along peacefully with their new surroundings..(That's another, yet relatable issue..Separation /individuality or assimilation ?.1 person at a time /we All join together ...There is always a balance to be found and sustained).
Anyway!
Most wildlife that has been introduced has almost always had negative affects on the natural surrounding environment..Not to mention on the species or life that has been introduced.......Let nature do it's job...People can not play mother nature.or god.! ..Assisted migration does not work..!
You can study ecology, you can not manage ecology!.( although my wildlife/ ecology managment diploma says different .Heading was later changed to wildlife/ecology studies/environmental science.So ,I am 1 of few with a diploma that says I can manage the ecology..I try not to let it go to my head .lol...) .
Anyone is free to Check past attempts.Study ,experiment(if qualified/be careful!) in closed /controlled areas..But you will find..Introducing new wildlife, never works..!
Having said that .In my own personal opinion /for what it's worth/.Under my own closer study ..I believe/feel, We should assist naturally occuring life to re-establish it's natural roots/ it's natural balance , only if it has been proven, with out doubt , we Humans caused the destruction ,and the species or life can be reintroduced, with little or no continous assistance..(global warming doubters /polluting conservatives eat these environmental issues up..Try to use them as a wedge between green scientists/politicians..pull us apart.) It is a real debate in environmental green politics.Should we help or shouldn't we?.Yes there are right and left ,right and wrong greens .( I am more right .lol.)
This is a great debate to have, but environmentalists/greens/scientists should be sure not to be torn apart, from outside opposition, that has no interest in environmental issues, only in partisin politics...They say never mix religion/politics/science but that's where all the good stuff is...!
Again in my opinion
Religion- past of ITt
Politics - The now/present state of ITt
Science - future of ITt ..
Or whatever!...
Some food for thought
Sorry ..Now , where was I , gotta get back on track ,.Let me continue!..Find some kinda conclusion . (lol)
Studying ecology is fine..Interfereing /or playing with mama nature /with the natural ecology, as any real scientist knows . finds you troubles/conflict/problems..More so ..If you don't know what your doing ./if you don't Try to cover all the angles .!
... If We(humans) know ,without a doubt that we are negatively affecting an area ..We should do what we can to ensure we keep the Natural balance of the environment..Assist/ give the wildlife a caring push to sustainability, if/where needed...After that,we must Leave the wildlife to fend for itself..Find it's own way in nature ,as hard as that, sometimes, might be..
Thanks for reading my spew..

I will Almost always choose
Peace!

Green/clean technology -let's make it so..
Hope Baby boomers have a good public health care plan and pension when they retire..especially in China./India .
If every baby boomer consumer in America had 2 kids ,their kids have 2 kids .What will the population of China be ?..(hmmmm?):?:8O
What will the jobs of the future look like? ...
What will the unemployment rate be in the next new world economy ?.( break it up into countries - communities where necessary)
Populations have a tendency to even themselves out over time, calculable using known variables, to a suprising degree of accuracy..?
It is the questions that we ask and solve locally / globally, now, together,today, that will see us all live more effeciently/effectively/peacefully tommorow.. as we all work together toward a sustainable future..
A balanced Green/Clean tech plan will ensure we can all prosper into that sustainability . Green/clean tech will help bring us the faith /the confidence/ the ability , to keep moving positively forward ,forever into that great bright beyond......The futures so bright, _________...
Green/Clean Tech will help to ensure the most inclusive/ clearest/cleanest path is taken ( So we Don't trample over grandmas tulips/pops garden or mama natures wild life )as we strive toward a sustainable /prosperous future for all who share this planet .. Be them great or small..
Sure There are always others choices/options, like doing nothing ..or whatever...
But of course ,I personally , like the Green/clean tech option better ..

The trick is to look at today's world as if we were at War. Every material is precious - every factory needs to squeeze as much as possible out of a BTU - every square inch of bare land needs a tree or a plant on it. Every flat roof top needs a lawn or a garden. Housing and factories can be built together. People will buy electric low speed vehicles because they are cheap and good for urban areas, we just need permission to buy them. The oil sands are needed to help us transition towards peak oil. Take them out now and get ready for $150/bbl oil and the extra cash going to an area of the planet that wants to kill us quicker than our smokestacks will. Packaging prevents waste from damage and spoilage - use it wisely and recycle things amongst our borders instead of shipping these resources offshore along with the jobs that go with it.
Good Green puts money in our pockets - Bad Green takes it out at a far greater level than the value it gives back. Every 100 acre solar farm is 100 acres of food production lost. Biofuels from food sources means someone is going hungry or unhoused. 100's of acres of greenhouses can be built next to factories with process heat loss. Electric Street Cars can share the road rather than having to build new ones - Hwy H2O is an energy and cost effective mover of freight. Revive the rails and drive them North. Global Carbon tax to prevent oil spikes and feed the needy and the government coffers. The world is about to get a whole lot smaller - We need to get a whole bunch smarter. And I am not talking half sized German gars either.

We can't let big polluting countries make climate change policies for all...
All are involved and are responsible for thier actions in this global climate,on this planet earth.Smaller developing countries should ,together, be able to hold the larger ones accountable to climate change and other planetary responsibities.
All can and will benefit from green/clean technology .;-)

Climate change has been proven over and over again..Answers depend on the area being studied and the time period..97% of Climatologists who study this stuff for a living say we humans are affecting this planet and that there is global warming..97% of climatologists say global warming is occurring and caused by humans
Who is saying climate change /glabal warming caused by humans doesn't exsist?
Regarless of all the he said she said ..The bigger issue is respecting your surrounding environment ,this 1, and so far only habitable planet we live on.
Can't drink the water if it is poison ..Can't eat the food if it is diseased..Can't live very long if the air is unbreathable..Temp goes up 5 - 10 degrees over the norms we all get sick and die..Unless we can sustain ourselves long enough to implement green/Clean technologies ,find that equalibrium as well as Find another planet to live on ..

Algae may be secret weapon in climate change war
MIAMI (AFP) – Driven by fluctuations in oil prices, and seduced by the prospect of easing climate change, experts are ramping up efforts to squeeze fuel out of a promising new organism: pond scum.
As it turns out, algae -- slimy, fast-growing and full of fat -- is gaining ground as a potential renewable energy source.
Experts say it is intriguing for its ability to gobble up carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, while living happily in places that aren't needed for food crops.
Algae likes mosquito-infested swamps, for example, filthy pools, and even waste water. And while no one has found a way to mass produce cheap fuel from algae yet, the race is on. "I think it's very realistic. I don't think it's going to take 20 years. It's going to take a few years," said chemical engineer George Philippidis, director of applied research at Florida International University in Miami.
