i've got a cheap $15 dollar form of cooling in front of me...a 12 inch oscilating fan.....i find one thing intersting...dust particles seem to be attracted to and stick to the fan blades...

what about a product that causes dust particles to "stick" to a wood-type membrane?....i can imagine a spritz type water fan filter that glues dust particles to a wood-type sponge...this sponge/filter might be used for local/near-by air cleaning...or... it might be used for larger scale "scubbing" of the atmosphere

the moisture of lungs causes particulate matter/smoke to stick to lung walls......why not have a moist wood/water filter/sponge that sticks/attracts particles?....

Canada needs to think of new products for wood products...a wood filter/spoonge that cleans the air might be another product for trees (besides TP and paper)....locally/personally one might have a moist wood sponge/filter that sucks/sticks dust particles (most of heating and cooking in 3rd world homes is done by old-school stoves...(which means alot of local air dirt))....

not only could a wood-type filter/sponge clean air locally.....why not large scale?....imagine off the coast of NW Africa....floating blimps/ballons that house water spritzing, wood filter/sponges....how much dust particulate matter might those large scale scrubblers clean the atmosphere?....get rid of the seeds for future hurricanes

(more later...

migh coal powered plants have a future?....i know there's technology available that "scrub" pollutants from coal fired plants....i wonder if coal fired plants aren't being totally utilized...why isn't the "smoke" coming from those plants cleaned better?...and why isn't the heat contained within that smoke used?....

i can imagine future coal fired plants doing 2 things: 1)cleaning the smoke with sponge like wood filters...2)using heat and concentrated CO2 in smoke from stakes to fuel greenhouses....if a disposable wood/water sponge/filter was created to suck the mercury, sulfur and most of the other crap out of the smoke coming from coal plants...why couldn't that pollution depleted smoke be used for its heat and CO2 value?...

i can imagine smoke stack/chimney nearly as tall as the CN tower capable of sucking/sticking most of the pollution coming from a coal fired electrical plant....these tall chimney-stacks would use poriferous wood and water spritzers to clean the air of most particulate pollution....massive greenhouses kilometers long would be located near these sky-high scrubbers....the CO2 and heat coming from the "clean" smoke would be used to grow CO2 sucking, GMed (possibly) sugar cane


Ontario has a solution to its pulp and paper problem and its electricity/coal problem available....use wood to clean coal to grow food/sugar...

why isn't the steam coming out of nuclear plants being utilized?.....if the steam is safe, why not use it for greenhouses?....just like gas was "burned off"/wasted from oil wells years ago...might certain forms of heat be wasted with nuclear and coal plants?

i hate to break it to you but... it's called paper. and paper based air filters are pretty common-place.
