A Low Cost Smoke Stack Pollution Reducer

I have designed a low cost pollution reducer for a smoke stack. First, you narrow the smoke stack to a 2 foot diameter pipe. You place a blower fan in the 2 foot tube, blowing the smoke or pollution upwards. You then place a U turn in the pipe so that the pipe does a u turn downward. You then connect that pipe into a 3 foot by 3 foot by 8 foot box, made from aluminum. Inside the box is a foam rubber pad/filter which is kept soaked with water. The u turned pipe then faces downward into the box and forces the smoke/pollution into the water soaked foam rubber filter. Then, two feet over, at the top, you have an exist pipe for the cleaned air to exist the filter box. You then test the air coming out. If the air is clean then you are done. If not, repeat the procedure again with a new u turn pipe and filter box, above. You need to perioldically clean or change the foam rubber filter.

A New Battery Design

Currently, large batteries, such as a car battery, typically us acid as part of the design. Acid batteries can explode and leak, and thus cause serious injuries. An alternate design for a battery which should work well is one which uses salt water instead of acid. You can experiment with this by taking a battery casing, or even a small plastic cooler chest and attaching one copper electrode strip and one aluminum or zinc electrode strip at the other end. You do not need seperate cells withing the battery. Inside the battery you place a lattice of alternating strips of aluminum, copper, and zinc, and then fill the battery container with salt water. Then charge the battery. This design should allow multiple recharging and long term use.
