Turning tailpipe emissions into marker pen ink
03 - 04 - 2017
With 45 minutes of emissions from a standard car, a marker pen can be recharged.
A new device, already successfully tested, converts most of the soot and pollutant particles emitted by exhaust pipes into ink for refilling pens, markers and printing or painting with brushes. The Kaalink is installed in the exhaust pipe.
As a medical center dedicated to obtaining a driver's license, we are very conscious of promoting initiatives such as this, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of vehicles.

Its creators claim that this new invention not only avoids the pollution generated by the vehicle or installation to which it is attached, but also avoids the pollution caused by the industrial manufacture of the black ink.
The father of the idea was American student Anirudh Sharma, who, during a vacation in Bikaner (India, where his family comes from), noticed how much pollution from vehicles blackened his skin and clothes, and devised a device to collect carbon particles from a candle, to which he added a small amount of alcohol and oil to create an ink for printers.
