Alchemy Tower: Regenerating the Ozone Layer

Evolo Skyscraper Competition

Geodynamics PR Corporation Internships 
 November 2012 - January 2013

• Member of a team developer of a sustainable design for the prestigious international competition of Evolo Skyscraper.

• In charge of the concept and design of the entry called ALCHEMY TOWER which idea is regenerating the ozone layer in the Antarctic.

 

Project Description:

o generate large quantities of ozone in a controlled environment while at the same time absorbing contaminants (CL2, HF HCL) in the top layers of the atmosphere, then use them for processing on different chemical reactions in the tower. These processes are electrolysis, electrical discharge generated with Tesla coils, catalyzer effect and neutralization effect at the last step. The result of these processes is pure ozone, which is then liberated into the atmosphere to support a progressive regeneration.  The facade consists of magnetic aero generators which are capable of generating over 500 MW thanks to the average wind speed in the Antarctic of 37 Km/h with a maximum speed of 248 Km/h.  The tower also has an aerostatic globe at the top for recollecting and releasing the different gases.
