Graviky Labs (an MIT spin-off) has found a way to turn ugly and harmful pollution into beautiful art-producing ink. They have built a contraption that connects behind the exhaust of a tail pipe of a car, which captures soot and takes it through a purification process that converts it into ink. “The same technology can be scaled to fit onto boats, chimneys, and cranes” Graviky Labs co-founder Anirudh Sharma said. A single AIR-INK pen approximately contains 40-50 minutes of diesel car pollution. So far, AIR-INK is available as 2mm, 15mm, and 50mm markers, and a 150ml screen printing ink set. The cheapest marker is available for about $25 on Kickstarter.

what a great way to capture carbon! Soon all structures will be built with carbon, instead of steel. Carbon is over ten times stronger, and ten times lighter than steel. Let the revolution begin!

I discuss the future of carbon and why it will revolutionize humanity in the near future, right here: http://ai-jane.org/thread-13222.html . Carbon will be the building material of choice, for all building material requiring strength and light weight. Skyscrapers will be able to be in all sorts of unique shapes, because the carbon will be strong enough to support them. ALL space habitats will be made out of carbon. The Space Elevator will be a common sight. Anyway, the sky is the limit!
