AIR INK

Air pollution has been the cause of many deaths worldwide. This poison is not only harmful to us but to our nature as well. This poison is being given a new form of Gravity ink where pollution is captured to produce Air-Ink.



In the gravity Lab of Bengaluru. Anirudh Sharma co-founder.


Air-Ink is a form of ink that is made after recycling air pollution you see that air pollution is essentially PM 2.5 these small particulates that go into our lungs. 

So what they do is they capture these particulates, extract the carbon content out of them and then confine them as Air-Ink. 

Here history is being made by converting pollution to ink.

Come let's ask Anirudh how did this future changing Idea comes to his sharp mind?

They took a candle and put a plate on the candle you see it turning the whole thing black that essential.


They said that how do we harvest the soot into this little, they would say pollution capture system? 


So they made a very small electrostatic system they would mix it with very simple day to day solvents like vegetable oil and then they hacked a day to day printer, an inkjet printer remove the cartridge from it and that cartridge was essentially repurposed to print form the ink that they made by that candle soot.


Then his OMG brain was joined by an OMG brain chain after 3 years of hard work, research, trial, and error made a powerful electronic device called kaalink, Which works similar to diesel generators.


A simpler way to understand how kaalink works is the experiment we have done in childhood of attracting small pieces of paper in a comb/scale kaalink works in a very similar fashion.
