    Idea Ozone
AI Thread Summary
Tuning commercial jet engines to emit ozone for the purpose of replenishing the ozone layer is unlikely to be feasible, as jet engines primarily consume oxygen for combustion. The ozone layer is not currently facing a rapid depletion crisis, with recent studies indicating signs of recovery due to the phase-out of CFCs. Ozone is highly reactive and would not survive the high temperatures within jet engines. Public awareness often focuses on problems rather than solutions, leading to misconceptions about the ozone layer's status. Overall, the ozone layer is showing positive signs of regeneration, alleviating concerns about its depletion.

Would it be possible to tune commercial jet engines to emit ozone and replenish the ozone layer?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There doesn't seem to be a problem with a "rapidly depleting ozone layer" anymore.

Probably not, since the main purpose of the engines is to consume oxygen during combustion to produce the thrust. Plus, ozone is reactive and engines are hot...

Problems tend to get more press than solutions, so a lot of people don't know that. It is just now starting to regenerate, as CFCs have been all but phased out.

The ozone layer, Earth's protective layer of gas that blocks ultraviolet rays from the sun, is showing signs of recovery, scientists say.

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
