Fun Thought

If everything becomes magnetisable, we could have hovercrafts that work with magnets and lights instead of blowing air.

Plastic Magnet!

My idea is years away but I wanted to compile at least some of the information that could be used to perfect my idea. In Ohio they have found a plastic that becomes magnetised at different levels depending on what color of light is shining on it. this would work perfectly with my idea because I can picture a crane holding a magnet that looks like the ones in junkyards. However it works for plastics. there could be lights on the magnet that could shine the blue light to pick up the plastics and green to drop them.
the picture is from http://www.hamilton.com.pl/
and the website that explains a bit of the research is http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/magnetun.htm

While searching for recycling and magnetism I found a company that sells equipment that separates metals from other waste. While this is interesting, it's not what I was thinking when the idea came to me. However this is a link to the site.

Initial idea for the blog.

Inititally my idea for the blog assigned by my Enviromental Engineering course was to find articles for using magnetism in recycling. Beyond what we are already able to achieve with using magnetism of metals, I was hoping to find or start a search to 'magnetise' papers or plastics. the idea is that if we could pul these recyclable resources out from the mass of waste that it would offset the actions of people who throw all waste in the trash instead of using bins for plastics and paper as I do.

The idea came to me as I was walking North Dakota State Universities sidewalks and near some of the corners are waste bins that have separate holes for easily recycled materials. Inside the bins however there are not usually dividers to separate the decompositional waste from the recyclable waste. Why not? Even the resources we have available are not being utilized. If this is the case the answer may be found at a different step of the process such as after all the waste has been collected.
