The Influence of Global Environmental Problems Against Human (part 2) (Environmental Issues Water)

Most of the current environmental problems caused by human activities and socio-economic environment due to the bad events that affect the earth as a whole in both the present and in the future. The increase of CO2 emissions that accompany the consumption of fossil fuels and global warming result in more poor quality water, waste due to the increasing lifestyle changes, and others. This is an example of environmental problems at the moment.

Today, global warming is the most serious problem among the problems which caused the increase in environmental temperature, climate change, rising sea surface water, ecological changes that give greater influence to the basic human existence. In addition, the problem of damage to the ozone layer, acid rain, oksidan fotokimia, and others to give effect to the health and the environment, not only environmental problems air, but also environmental problems of water and land which is in the condition which can not be ignored.

One of the environmental problem of waste is generated from the social and economic activities at this time, in the form of large-scale production, consumption of large-scale, large-scale waste. From the waste and then have problems in the form of earth movement toxic waste from developed countries to developing countries.

Environmental problems can result in destruction of valuable natural environments such as forests, rivers, beaches and others, in addition to damage to the biological diversity that is essential for humans. Therefore the need for international efforts to tackle this.

1. Environmental problems of water

Water provides many benefits to both men to drink, daily life, industry and others. In the natural cycle of water vapor into rain and come down to earth, in the forest, in the land, down to the river and continue to flow to the sea, the evaporation ago to rain again. In the process of pollutant materials are cleaned. In addition, the water between the time of the air and to the river to the sea many times used in various forms as water resources, then returned again to the water cycle. This process gives a great influence to the water, and therefore to give effect to the land and living creatures.

When the cycle is complete can not happen, it will appear different debit instability such as damage to the river water (the emergence of the city due to water damage, the reduced water debit of normal, and others), interruption of water sources, the poor quality water, and other .

Water pollution will provide a broad influence on the flow of rivers and the sea, there is also a deposit in the bottom of the water in the form of hazardous material and has a long-term after several years because these materials can cause interference on human health.

Through the sea pollution could spread to the whole world and have a possible influence to the ecology of animals, especially water.

2. Problems of land

Soil forming factors is the environment that are important, the existence of a basic living creatures, including humans, have an important role for the materials cycle and ecology. Land has a function to produce food, timber, clean air and water to the land, sustain ecological, and others. Damage to the land will give effect to the existence of humans and other living creatures and the ecology. Compared with the water or air, land it is very diverse and response to hazardous materials also vary. The influence of the man usually given to the indirect as the medium through biological or food. They are usually local and different from one place to another.

There is also a problem changing land / dry areas become deserts. According to the UNEP in 1991 in the world there are more than 6.1 billion hectares of dry land, of which 900 million hectares is the area that is a very dry desert sand. This will be a big problem because about 70% of the dry area (3.6 billion ha) or about ¼ wide earth's surface will turn into desert.

3. The problem of waste

Social economic activities at this time a large-scale production, consumption of large-scale and large-scale production of waste. Along with the rising standard of living was increasing the volume of waste, various types of waste, and the reduced capacity of the waste disposal. This is increasing the burden on the environment in each phase to become a source of waste.

In the case of hazardous waste, most visible form of increased cases berpindahnya location of waste processing. Because of the diversity of quality and increasing waste volume of waste, the waste processing move from countries with high cost of processing to countries with lower processing costs, or move from state laws that have strict processing of waste to countries that loose rules. There is a concern when the recipient country does not perform the processing of waste properly, then the country will receive an influence on the environment or ecology. Moving hazardous waste is also a problem. Because the plan to begin to move the waste from developed countries to developing countries, then made a discussion on international based in UNEP, and in 1989 in Basel, Switzerland created a Convention Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their disposal.

4. Natural environmental issues

Forest Area in the earth is approximately ¼ wide earth's land, on the extent of about 1995 billion in 3454 ha. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), forests in the world, especially tropical forests, throughout the world decrease of 56.3 million ha from 1990 to 1995. Average each year about 11.3 million ha of forest destroyed, and this is about 30% of the total area of Japan. Forest Area, since 1990 until 1995 in developed countries (except Russia) is 8.78 million ha, but in developing countries decreased by more than 7 times the number of growing forest in developed countries or of 65.15 million ha (average per year 11.03 million ha), and speed of the high forest destroyed. Among developing countries, reduction in tropical forest is the most quickly. For non-tropical forest areas in developing countries, from 1990 to 1995 average annual broad forest decreased 430 thousand ha, while the tropical forest is reduced 12.59 million ha. The cause of the reduced tropical forests in developing countries is social and economic problems such as poverty, population increase, land regulations, and others. Because the plant CO2 in the air into organic material through fotomorfosis, tropical forests play a role as a source of CO2 absorption. Reduction in forest akan accelerate global warming rate. Besides mentioned that 50 - 80% of the living creatures on earth live in tropical forests, tropical forests also have an important role in maintaining biological diversity. Reduction in tropical forest will make extinction of animals and plants, and result in decreasing the seeding seeds.

5. Problems diversity of plants and animals other

According to UNEP estimated that there are 3 - 11.1 million species on earth including the plant species that have not been known. When this has been confirmed that there are about 1.75 million species. The variety of species such as this with its level of diversity in the genes, the diversity of ecology, they all referred to as biological diversity. But biological diversity is rapidly destroyed when the forest destruction continues, it is estimated that about 4% -8 types of flora that live in tropical forests will be extinct.

Currently the rate destroyed flora and fauna began already slowed. Type of flora is destroyed not because of natural processes, but mainly because of social economic activities of men. To keep the preservation of plants and wildlife that is made of a convention Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Bacteria Produce Fuel Water

The researchers at the University of Wageningen the Netherlands, found special bacteria which can alter the organic waste in the waste water into water (Hydrogen). Dreamland produce water fuel economic reality more closely. The findings are very promising to many peminat interesting, one of the Shell oil company is willing to pay for further research.

Water fuel can be an alternative fuel car free of CO2. Air power is changed to the next motor. No waste is out! Only a little moisture. Unfortunately, this is a delusion only. There are two reasons. First, making water more expensive fuel. Second, related to the waste CO2.

Prof. Cees Buisman technology environment from the University of Wageningen explains, "Now if we want to make fuel water-friendly environment, no technology. To produce fuel water, we need fossil fuels. So, it is the same. Water fuel is environmentally friendly, but the energy required to do so would remove the CO2 may be more. "

Exit Way

But it seems that the problem will be solved soon. René Rozendal, Prof. employees. Buisman, find a way to make fuel from water waste water. This technology is very promising. Dr. S3 René Rozendal graduated cum laude with a citation to the invention and is now working as researchers in Brisbane, Australia. The findings are very impressive.

"Rene and I agreed to research in Wageningen find bacteria that can produce electricity. This is research that has long way. Microbes in the cultivation of a special on the organic material, such as waste water. They produce electron and proton, or electrics. René Rozendal experiment to combine electron and proton, "said Prof.. Buisman.

That is the basic principle of the fuel water. He then found a very good idea. He put the principle of making the basic material with the water stream of waste water to electricity. Result, the bacteria spontaneously produce fuel water. This discovery will pave the way to produce cheaper fuel and water-friendly environment.

New method is five times more sparingly than the method now used. This is because 80 percent of energy needs to make the fuel come from the water of organic material in the waste water. Other 20 percent comes from the electricity that is used to trigger the bacteria to produce fuel water.

Implementation of practical

Other advantage is the bacteria-bacteria that have the power flow will be strong and can gobble out all organic material in the waste water. The result is clean water. Only with a little refinement process, the water can safely be thrown back. This technique can be applied to the various water treatment installation. So, in addition to producing clean water, can also produce fuel water.

Most of the research René Rozendal is on the application of this technology in large scale. The results surprise. When all the waste water is used in the Netherlands, the fuel that is produced can be used for 20 percent of total cars in the Netherlands. And when the organic material used comes from the land, will produce enough fuel for all cars that have.

Water Fuel Cars

Mid-June, the automotive world with news of success surprised a Japanese company, Genepax, launched a vigorous water car. Interestingly, the vehicle appears on the current price of fuel oil continues to soar in many countries of the world and was shown on television. Once filled with water, Si Kancil - because of its size, such as in Malaysian Kancil car - live slide.

Consequently, some people even suspect, the car using water fuel. The mechanic was surprised. The water can not be burned directly for further utilized as a booster vehicle.

Electric Cars
Be after, the Genepax not memperoses water directly into the fuel. In the car Reva, made Takeoka Mini Car of the experiment was made, not found in the combustion engine (internal combustion) vehicles that are used commercially now. That there is a electric motor and generator of power such as the order of a series of membrane called the MEA (Membrane electrode assembly) with water.

Has been ascertained, the car driven by electricity. However, this car does not have a plug that can be linked or home electricity generator.

Thus, this car really rely on energy from the water. This is a feature in a proud and be the main attraction by Genepax. Because with the technology they use, electric cars no longer need new infrastructure to recharge Battery, both at home and public parking lot.

Genepax system call Wes or, "water energy system".

Extracts hydrogen
MEA is not a new technology, but have been used to extract hydrogen from water or metanol. The merit system of Genepax MEA, the hydrogen extracted from water, not collected in the tank (which is heavy and expensive) high-pressure. Processed directly but generate electricity through chemical reaction by using a special material (this is the secret).

Prototype fuel cells that generate energy has created 120 Watt. While the generator's place in the baggage car of 300 Watt.

To enter the water to the generator containing the fuel cell stack used electric pumps. Pump obtain this energy from the dry battery. After the energy generated, the system works and passive water pump silent.

Currently, a series of fuel cells generate electricity with Genepax voltage 25-30V. Each cell produces 3 watts of energy with the voltage and current 0,5-0,7 volt 6-7 Ampere. Density of about 30 mW/cm2 reaction with cell surface 10 x 10 cm.

Still Expensive
Tools for process water menghasil electricity Genepax made to the size now that is not cheap. Price generator power water energy is $ 17.500 million / unit (not including the car). If made in bulk, the estimated cost $ 4.500 million.

Described again, one liter of water can be used for one hour with a speed of 80 kph car. Here, Genepax has collaborated with the Japanese car company to produce this founder massively in the near future. At least as an alternative fuel. Genepax also given the opportunity to showcase founder time KTT G8 on Hokkaido, Japan on 6-9 July.

"The system we found inftra structure does not need to charge the battery, which is the main problem electric cars at this time," proudly Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Director of technology, energy Genepax water! The plan not only cars that became the target, as well as household equipment!

Sea Water Fuel

John Kanzius, a retired television station one aged 62 years and was also a broadcast engineer, in 2007 succeeded in surprising the world with the invention of the fuel from salt water / sea water.

In broadcast news in the First Coast News, Kanzius demonstrates how light it was saline solution with the help of the radio wave equipment.

Kanzius is a creative tool to develop the radio therapy for cancer in his garage lab. Initially, Kanzius just want to test whether the means of radio waves that are created can be used to separate salt (desalinate) solution of salt water. Results obtained thus making them even shocked, saline solution when the lights in the flat on the high-frequency radio waves.

Method radio John Kanzius cancer therapy is done by using high-energy radio waves (high-energy radio wave) to destroy cancer cells. Previously, the cancer cells be "alert" use nano particles (one nano meter = meter per billion). These particles be heated with radio emission at a temperature where the cancer cells can be turned off. This method is non-invasive and can be used without additional Chemotherapy or radiation that painful. Healing methods for cancer using radio waves, Kanzius has a patent which is called Enhanced Systems and Methods for RF-induced Hyperthermia.

The findings of the use of radio waves used to generate energy from the saline solution, Kanzius is willing to sell patent rights. He intends to use the money to fund research on the healing of cancer earnest.
The contention that the skeptic is that the findings of this is still necessary. Self efisienkah energy of radio waves when compared with the energy generated by the salt water?


The findings of the use of radio waves used to generate energy from this, of course, become a crucial question. Ratio is a measure of productivity, energy exploitation in the most important source of energy. This ratio is a comparison of energy generated with renewable energy that is required. The greater the value of one, means that the economic utilization of these energy sources.

However, this invention provides bright point of the energy crisis of the world. After the oil era, we may soon be entering the era of sea water as the world economy.

Who knows?

Fuel Water

"I believe that one day the water will be used as a fuel hydrogen and oxygen that are structured, used separately or together, will be the source of heat and light that is not utmost, with the power of coal can not afford to produce."
(Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island, 1874)

The world was confused. That expression, which could be used to characterize the situation there now. When fuel oil is still to be pillars of the global energy, the price tends to be uncontrollable and distressing many countries, which have to run helter-skelter adjust budget shopping.

It is reasonable if our mind directed to another alternative energy. these mind give us another goodness when these days there's another issuethat is not less urgent, ie, global warming, where the fuel combustion is believed to be the main cause.

However, although beneficial in the second case above, alternative energy is not easily applied with the reason for each, ranging from community opposition to nuclear energy to the location for limited energy geotermal.

Recently, one of the incentive is covered vegetable energy (biofuel). United States to develop fuel in vegetable form of corn ethanol, while Brazil develop fuel vegetable. from sugar cane. However, here are the problems then appear, especially in the era when food prices soaring. Have become one of the causes of scarcity of food that caused food price increase is the limited agricultural land for food crops because some have been used to plant vegetable crops fuel.

Water fuel

Especially in the section on the energy of water, there is the saying, in fact during this time we have been cheated by scientific circles. Submit evidence of success with the use of water in a variety of machines, what is taught in school should be considered a blunder.

According to the site H2Earth Institute (www.h2earth.org), water can now be used (burned) on the engine's internal combustion engine (ICE) or the turbine, processed into fuel (fuel on-demand), also at that time (real time) , without transportation or storage of liquid hydrogen or compressed, kaustik alkali, catalysts salt, or metal hidrida.

This can be done on the vehicle with one additional tool that powered by vehicle small electric system. So, this basically is to make water as fuel.

This process produces only water vapor as the material out, which can easily be taken back by a radiator and re-circulated in the system when the desired engine.

Ravine in Indonesia

What is promoted by the Institute H2Earth may be difficult to think digested by the conventional nature, how so sure institution is up this idea.

Here, which is made Water Fuel Cell, which is the technology for efficient conversion of water into gas fuel (combustible), known as "hydroxy" or "Brown Gas". This technology can be viewed not languish after the inventor (Stanley Meyer), as well as new gas compound inventor (Dr. Yull Brown), and theorist who think gas production through molecular resonance (Dr. Henry Puharich) all died in mid-1990's.

Perhaps a more closer to our experience so far is what is packed in the concept of hydrogen boost (See site www.hydrogen-boost.com). This is the system performance of distance based on the fuel generator hydrogen gas in the engine. Developers also have this system more complete system which can increase the kilometer range up to 15-25 % per vehicle on the test.

As described in the site, together with a combination of hydrogen and other gas electrolysis (in this case is Brown Gas), inserted in the engine intake will increase the spread of flames during the combustion so that fuel in the form of vapor more can be burned. Benefits of adding hydrogen in internal combustion engines, including diesel engines, has been investigated.

In Indonesia also heard news of the water this energy. As submitted by the ecclesiastic Kirjito Romo in Yogyakarta, last April, friends, Joko Sutrisno, have tried this system for cars and motorcycles. Katana jeep performance for 1 liter of gas is to be 20 km, while for motorcycle, 1 liter for 120 km.

Water that is used to improve the performance of this fuel is now the new supplement. Therefore, Joko still reluctant to publish the system that use it. Joko aspiration alone, according to Romo Kirjito, is utilizing this technology to help rural poor people in obtaining energy efficient.

In Indonesia also heard news of the water this energy. As submitted by the ecclesiastic Romo Kirjito in Kirjito reminded, when the U.S. and Europe have started many steep hydrogen utilization, either for the purpose of industry and individuals, Indonesia should also not lag.

As the implementation of alternative energy, the application of the energy of water as fuel is estimated to be not free from obstacles.

Be honest now recognized that this world is still dominated by the economy of oil-alternative energy, so even though the condition has now been entered in the level of emergency appears still non-priority.

Is there a power that can realize the dream H2Earth Institute to cut off the fuel supply chain so that the community is instantaneous, discontinuous, and radical (disruptive) can switch to new energy technologies that are environmental, economic, and political solutions to provide top of the existing problems and this now?
