Introduction: Regardless of whether it is the rapidly spoiling food in our fridge or the pile of unwashed laundry in our washing machine, the importance of electricity cannot be overlooked. With the analysis of Benjamin Franklin in the mid-1700s and Michael Faraday in the 1870s, the perception of electricity as an energy source made social inhabitants attain a new climax concerning the amelioration of mankind. Electricity is one of the most prominent assets that science has conferred to the human race. Science has found out bricks as a source of electricity production using PEDOT.                                               Execution of the idea: It's been 5000 years since we figured out that baked clay hardens into bricks. These red bricks inside walls can produce enough current to light up a house for 5 hours. This idea involves the development of a scalable, cost-effec...

INTRODUCTION:  Smog is a kind of air pollution which is mainly the mixture of smoke and fog, responsible for reduced visibility, irritation, allergies, and could have a serious impact on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of our body. Being harmful to our body and being a potent pollutant, it needs to be treated effectively.  With growing air pollution and to treat smog effectively, few cities have come with buildings that would help reduce air pollution and have a check on it. These buildings are made up of special concrete called “smog-eating concrete” that would neutralize the atmospheric pollutants.  HISTORY:  Smog-eating concrete was developed in 2007, by the Italian cement company Italcementi, like a self-cleaning cement that, when mixed to create concrete, would make a self-cleaning concrete. It was only later that Italcementi noticed its pollution-killing quality. This is how they found out: They had topped off a road in Bergamo, Italy with TX Activ...

Global Demand:-  The urgent concern for global warming due to the emission of greenhouse gases has propelled scientists and engineers worldwide to search for alternate sources of renewable and clean energy. As locations for wind energy are filling up on-shore and near-shore, companies are deploying floating turbines that can be sited in deep waters. Floating wind farms consist of offshore wind turbines mounted on floating structures that allow the turbine to generate electricity in water depths.  History:- The concept of offshore wind turbines was first introduced by Professor William E. Heronemus at the University of Massachuttes Amherst in 1972. But it was not until the mid-1990s that the commercial offshore wind industry was established. The first floating wind turbines were set up by the Blue H Technologies of the Netherlands in December 2007. An 80 kW prototype 21.3 km off the coast of Apulia, Italy, was installed in water 113 m deep to get test data on wind and sea cond...
