Electric Cement

-
 The following describes a  new technology associated with a mixture of concrete that can store and transmit energy. In other words, our buildings roads and bridges can be used as our electrical lines and battery banks. This means that anything made of concrete could replace our power bank and hydroelectric dams. because transmission could be done through our roads it is more reliable to make it a solid thing than wires that have to be replaced more often.

 This new concrete mixture potassium-geopolymetric (KGP) is able to be used the store or transfer power by having potassium ions hop through it. They are cheaper to make than normal cement mixtures. A 6-meter lamp-post made from KGP and equipped with a small solar panel could hold enough energy to power itself throughout the evening that being around typically 700W. This also means that if there is a building made from this they can store energy there instead of a battery bank nor use a generator. Since battery banks in the city can be damaged by flooding, a structure made from KGP is more durable than conventional energy storage.

  This st0rage is more stable and durable. As result, it is resistant to natural disasters. than designed in case of there being a flood, earthquake, fire, blizzards, tornadoes, by having drains build to direct it. In the future instead o the batteries having acid in them, they will be just small bits of cement with a little electrode or metal sticking out of it. Doing this there will be the most environmentally friendly battery. Since there are no wires they can’t be pulled down by a tree, blown over in a storm, or

Transmission can be the roads or sidewalks which more efficient because the city all ready needs to build the roads making the road the power lines as well will help by the city needing less time and material if they are put in at the same time as the same thing. People can store their power in their driveways or in their foundation of the house this means if all the roads around them are being worked on or split in half by an earthquake spitting the earth then they can use the power stored in their driveways. If there is power already  going through the road why not make it  wirelessly power electric cars passing over it 


In conclusion, concrete that can store and transmit power is environmentally friendly, economically efficient and durable. Wirelessly charging our cars as we drive is just the beginning.

Tiny blocks of cement could be the batteries of the future.


Concrete lamp posts could become batteries powering themselves.

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
