How about a discussion on Solar Ships!!!!!!!!



Around 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry and it is an essential part of the modern world economy.

However ships are also responsible for the release of a range of noxious gases and carbon dioxide, therefore the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is working with the shipping industry to make world shipping more environmentally friendly.

Around 200 years ago ocean going sailing ships were reaching speeds of 16 knots or more and carrying trade across the globe. Best of all they released no harmful emissions and could cross the globe without using a drop of oil. But somehow since then, world shipping strayed off the green path and the benefits of using wind power onboard large ships was forgotten.

So this is it!!!! Now we are in need to use different natural sources to drive our ships. As we know about diesel, steam and electrical driven engines.The resource we now going to use are nuclear and solar. And we also got a use of resource from our past discovery i.e., Wind.

Here now is an company which is dedicating their applications on marine industry. They are ECO MARINE POWER are focused on helping to make 'Green Shipping' a reality via our unique design concepts and innovative technology.
Their vision is to create a sustainable future for shipping where our trade routes will be served by vessels that are part sailing ship and part solar ship. Their solutions and designs tap into the limitless energy of the wind and sun with our cutting edge Aquarius MRE SystemTM leading the way.

Not only will a solution like the Aquarius wind and solar power system reduce emissions, but it will also save ship owners and shipping lines money by reducing fuel costs.

Can Plants Eat Bones?


bone eating plant
Just imagine a situation when plants can eat bones of all dead animals and humans. Can that be  possible????

Saral Baweja and Nishi Paliwal says "Yes". Both school students hailing from New Delhi, presented a research paper titled “Production of Bio Soil-Enhancer by Phosphate Solubilizing action of Bacillus subtills on bones”.

Confused..................................................?

They are on a mission for producing organic fertilizers from bones of dead animals which won’t decompose for many years.

They discovered that a certain kind of bacteria named Bacillus subtills have the ability to convert insoluble phosphorus present in bones into soluble phosphorus, making fertilizer organic in nature which can be easily absorbed by plants.
This Bone meal (a mixture of crushed bones and soil from poultry and livestock industry) used as a slow release fertilizer, can be easily procured from a fertilizer shops.


 The short term goal of increasing plant yield ends up harming environment and soil in long run. But this organic substitute will not do such harm with a produce that is healthier & better.
