  1. Aquatic Solutions to Air Pollution Written and performed by the Sandy Lego Fiddlebots Ian Schroeder and Lynda Morris, vocals Brannon Smudz, keyboard Nadya and Brennan Dooley, violin Ciara Dooley, cello Drawings by Brennan Dooley. Slideshow Layout by Ciara and Nadya Dooley.

  2. Fossil fuel is organic remains of long ago covered with mud and rock it makes oil, gas, and coal.

  3. Burning these fossil fuels for our electricity makes more greenhouse gases a reality.

  4. Greenhouse gases let sunlight come in. • Greenhouse gases don’t let energy go out.

  5. This creates the global warming talked about in our reporting also known as the greenhouse effect.

  6. The gases that make up the greenhouse gas come from water vapor, C-O-2, and grass "from cows as methane!"

  7. Coming in they are transparent to sunlight that's in the air but they absorb the radiant heat from the earth.

  8. The response is warmer winds and rising seas The poles and icy mountains will unfreeze.

  9. Life is rearrangin' and our planet is a changin', Soon LaJolla will be drownin', o-oh please! oh no!

  10. The water’s getting warmer all the time Ocean levels getting higher - it’s a crime!

  11. Coral’s dying all around us, toxic algae will confound us, and erosion will be causing us to climb.

  12. The ice caps are melting at unchecked rates Causing animals and such to meet their fates.

  13. The penguins must hunt harder, for the krill are getting smaller, Floods and hurricanes are frequent as of late.

  14. Heat from fossil fuels turns water into steam • Steam turns turbines for power, so it seems.

  15. When fossil fuels are gone • where will we get our steam? • Find a solution or life may go downstream.

  16. We must use resources that are renewable • Instead of depending on fossil fuel.

  17. Solar, wind and hydro power • can all be used again. • There is also energy from the ocean.

  18. Unlike the energy from wind and sun We can predict when the ocean will run.

  19. Wave, tidal, thermocline, • current and gradient of salinity • are five ways to get energy from the sea.

  20. Wave energy generates electricity By the up-and-down motion of the sea.

  21. In Isle of Islay, Scotland they use wave energy, to make 5 mega-watts commercially.

  22. With tidal power the tide goes up and then declines • into a system of water turbines.

  23. France and Nova Scotia are two locations with commercial-sized plants in operation.

  24. Take the surface and the deep water temperatures • If the difference 25 degrees Celsius measures

  25. This is thermocline energy used in Japan and Hawaii. Small scale designs are producing electricity.

  26. Swift currents moving close to the shore • are a way to make energy forevermore.

  27. Wader holds a patent on a method of generating energy through a process involving the mixing of salt and fresh water. This device is called the Hydrocratic Generator. • Using salt water and fresh • water's different density • is power from gradient of salinity.

  28. Diagram A Entire platform (top) Dock Buildings Design for an offshore power generator/ocean research platform, Aquatic Solutions to Air Pollution, known by its acronym, ASAP. We have designed an offshore platform for the task. Although building it will be a lot to ask.

  29. Diagram A Entire platform (bottom) Diagram C Wave Energy Generator Diagram BCurrent turbine Diagram F batteries and storage tank Probe bay Diagram D Salinity gradient generator • It uses current and wave energy • and also gradient of salinity, • to harvest lots of power from the sea.

  30. Diagram C Wave Energy Generator Diagram A Entire platform (side) Diagram B Current turbine Diagram D Salinity gradient generator Diagram E tidesensor • The salinity gradient generators are in a ring. • They also filter minerals and harmful things

  31. Diagram C Wave generator Diagram B Current turbine • Lots of pistons on the sea floor, • lots of turbines on the platform bottom • from fossil fuels will give us freedom.

  32. ASAP!
