1) In 1891, Paulin of the Agricultural School at Beauvais, France began experiments applying electricity from the atmosphere to plant roots and soil. He erected a tall pole called a "geomagnetifer" to draw down atmospheric electricity and distribute it underground.
2) His experiments found that potatoes grew up to 75% more within the electrified area. Grapes also matured faster and were sweeter with about 5% more sugar. Spinach, celery, radishes, and turnips also saw improvements in size and quality.
3) The results convinced the local agriculture society committee, who awarded Paulin a medal for his successful experiments in boosting crop yields with atmospheric electricity.

This document summarizes an experimental study on augmenting fresh water production from a triangular pyramid solar still by using a phase change material (PCM). The study aims to improve the low productivity of conventional solar stills. Experiments are conducted with and without a PCM to compare the distillate output and other parameters. Results show that using a PCM increased the daily water production to 4.3 liters compared to 3.5 liters without PCM. Temperature differences between the glass and water are also reduced with the PCM. The maximum solar still efficiency reached 35.2% without PCM and 53% with PCM. The study concludes that incorporating a PCM is effective for improving solar still productivity.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

3. Challenge : Hard Water Concentrations
Hard Water contains Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
4. Problem : Hard Water Clogs Pipes
Heat exchangers lose efficiency quite rapidly in hard water applications.
Today’s commercial antiscalants called palyacrylates are used to unclog
these pipes but are not biodegradable.
5. Solution : Oysters
Oyster shells are also made from calcium carbonate.
Larry Koskan, an organic chemist, made an amazing discovery about how oysters regulate
the growth of their shells using a biopolymer, called thermal polyaspartate (TPA), which is
nontoxic & biodegradable.
8. Problem : Anti Fouling Paints
Most antifouling paint contains elemental copper, cuprous oxide (a copper compound), or
tinoxide compounds (tributyl tinoxide) which kill organisms attempting to attach to a painted
surface.
9. Solution : Sharks
Shark skin is made up of microscopic hard scales which provides little effective
contact surface preventing barnacles from attaching themselves.
10. Artificial Shark Skin Based Products
One product contains a combination plastic/rubber coating that is made of billions of tiny
raised diamond-shaped patterns. Each “shark-let” diamond measures 15 microns and
contains seven raised ribs that at close examination resemble different lengths of raised
horizontal bars.
14. Solution 1 : Oak Tree
Leaves arranged in Fibonacci pattern also referred as
Phyllotaxis capture optimal amount of energy over
each day.
7th grader Aidan Dwyer, who as inspiration to
arrange an array of solar panels in a way that
generates 20-50% more energy than a
uniform, flat panel array
15. Solution 2 : Rice Leaf
Many plants are heliotropic, gradually
tilting towards the sun to optimize solar
energy capture.
MIT students Forrest Liau, Vyom Sharma, and
George Whitfield used the difference in temperature
between shaded and sunny areas to change the
properties of the material supporting the solar
photovoltaic cells. The solar panels are mounted
at the top of a curved arch made up of two kinds
of metal, such as aluminum and steel.
16. Wind Turbine Farms
Downstream wind turbines may lose 20 percent or even
30 percent of their power compared to their fellows in front,
according to a study on wake effects at Horns Rev
17. Solution : School of Fish
Arranging wind turbines like a school of fish could
reduce the amount of land they take up by 100-
fold while maintaining their electrical output, say
researchers. Wind farms based on the approach
might also be considerably safer for migrating
birds.
Researchers found that arranging the VAWT arrays just
like schools of fish produced the best results. Such
tightly packed VAWT arrays can produce as much
electricity as conventional windmills, all while using
as little as one-hundredth of the land area.
19. Betz Law
No turbine can capture more than 59.3 %
of the kinetic energy in wind
Todaysbest wind turbines at best capture
about 30-35 %
20. Solution 1 : Winged Seeds
The twirling seeds of maple trees spin like miniature
helicopters as they fall to the ground. Because the
seeds descend slowly as they swirl, they can be
carried aloft by the wind and dispersed
over great distances.
David Lentink, an assistant professor at Wageningen, and
Michael H. Dickinson, the Zarem Professor of Bioengineering
at Caltech, revealed that, by swirling, maple seeds generate
a tornado-like vortex that sits atop the front leading edge of
the seeds as they spin slowly to the ground. This leading-edge
vortex lowers the air pressure over the upper surface of the
maple seed, effectively sucking the wing upward to oppose
gravity, giving it a boost. The vortex doubles the lift generated
by the seeds compared to nonswirling seeds.

21. Solution 2 : Humpback Whale
The average humpback whale weighs about 36 tons,
yet it is one of the most graceful swimmers, divers,
and jumpers in the sea. It was discovered that their
Fins have leading edge bumps, called Tubercles,
which reduce drag and increase lift.
WhalePower President, Dr. Frank E. Fish designed
this turbine blade with bumps on the leading
edge. Early wind tunnel tests of model flippers
with tubercles by the U.S. Naval Academy
showed that wind drag was reversed by
32 % and lift was increased by 8 %.
23. Camel
One thing that a camel can do to
conserve water is to handle large
body-temperature swings. A camel
might start the day at 94 degrees F and
allow its temperature to rise as high as
105 degrees F. Only at the upper end
of this range does it need to sweat to
prevent overheating. When you
compare this temperature range to the
range the human body can handle
(where only a 2 degree rise indicates
illness), you can see the advantage.
Clean Energy Application:
Solar Panel performance degrades by -.5% / degree Celsius
Maintain maximum efficiency of solar panels by maintaining
coolest temperatures.
24. Saguaro cactus
A fully-grown Saguaro cactus
(Carnegiea gigantea) can absorb up to
800 gallons of water in ten days.
This is helped by the ability to form new roots
quickly. Two hours after rain following a
relatively long drought, root formation begins
in response to the moisture. Apart from a few
exceptions, an extensively ramified root
system is formed, which spreads out
immediately beneath the surface. The salt
concentration in the root cells is relatively
high, so that when moisture is encountered,
water can immediately be absorbed in the
greatest possible quantity.
Clean Energy Application:
Water collection strategy which can be used for cooling and
generating power.
25. Hibernating Bears
It can go for as long as 100 days without eating, drinking,
urinating, defecating, or exercising. its sleeping heart
rate had slowed to as few as eight beats a minute. Fat
tissues break down and supply water and up to
4,000 calories a day; muscle and organ tissues break
down and supply protein. Bears' bodies are somehow
able to take urea—a chief component of urine that is
produced during tissue breakdown and that, if left to
build up, becomes toxic—and use the nitrogen in it to
build new protein.
Clean Energy Application:
Energy conservation strategies for homes & businesses.
