This is the documentation of my attempts to create a material my self and experimenting with it.

As the project progresses, more details will be given and finally put in a suitable order.

So far this will fiction as a kind of brainstorming documentary.

electroluminescent paint

I investigated the possibility of creating electroluminescent paint.

I came to the conclusion, that it is really expansive to achieve due to the special ingredients needed. There is a handwritten note on that in the Comment section.

Conductive Paint

A paint to draw circuits, to quick repair circuits and achieve all that without soldering.

Does already exist.

Really easy to make: Simply harvest carbon from old batteries (not Alkaline) or electric motor brushes, grind it to a powder and mix with solvent (water for example). A water solving glue can be added for stronger cohesion.

The paint can be applied with a sort of syringe, if thicker, or simply with a brush. Due to the relatively low electrical resistance it can even be used to draw potentiometers etc.

I would like to investigate further if it is possible to find solutions to draw other electrical components like capacitors, diods, transistors etc. with a fitting paint.

It would be a great way of understanding electricity by doing. I figured that many people want to learn the basics or even more but the lack of physical interaction with the material and the 'fear' of doing it wrong for instance with soldering is one of the main obstacles.

Ways to store energy.

1.Synthetic Diesel from waste or air co2

very complicated and energy consuming process

is there a way to make synthetic fuel at home, preferably Diesel?

Continental is working on OME-fuel

Audi is working on a project called eGAS making gas from pond scum

ETH Zürich is currently working on the topic https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2019/06/pr-solar-mini-refinery.html

they produce „syngas“ this gas can be liquefied to many kinds of carbon based fuels

To harvest co2 from the atmosphere sodium-hydroxide can be used.

this is an attempt to create something that would ideally be carbon neutral and can be used by existing cars. This would result in the possibility of using already existing cars in order to avoid their necessary energy for construction. This can be a transition technology to non combustion mobility.

synthetic fuels are often refereed to as „eFUELs“.

Pyrolsysis: Plastic must be heated over 300°C at about 375°C the burnable compound evaporates. This must be captured and distilled to a liquid again. It is imperative that the whole process is acomplised under the absence of oxigen, to prevent the liquid from ignition. the process is called 'pyrolyses' this is downcycling however, not the main goal but still better than just piling up plastic waste on a dumpster. Despite of the energy used to for heating the efficiency of plastic to fuel can be about 80% mass wise.

Bio Diesel: Can be homemade from: -any kind of plant oil (old oil from restaurants) -sodium hydroxid -Methanol

2.DIY battteries Harvest good cells from old laptop batteries

3.Selfproduced Hydrogen electrolysis combined with solar power.

relatively easy to achieve extremely energy inefficient not to easy to store (explosive)

Homemade freshwater -DIY Waterfiltermaterial -Sand and charcoal, some PET bottles as filter hull, container and sterilizer plus a little bit of sunlight

-desalination via graphen -destillation (low tech) -elctro dialysis

-DIY semipermiable mambrane
