U pdating a garage is a project that is easily managed and w on't fill your weekends w ith work until La bor Day. The garage door is the largest door on a home.

(N U ) - An ene rg y-e fficien t process that can be used to desali nate sea water and extract contami nants from waste water is being suc cessfully tested by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Lab oratory in C alifornia. C apacitive d e io n iza tio n is a patented process that uses one- thousandth to one-hundredth the energy required by conventional d is tilla tio n methods, according to inventor and p ro je ct leader Joe Farmer. The CDI process is simple: Wa ter containing salt, heavy metals or even radioactive isotopes is pumped through a stack o f thin sheets o f car bon aerogel. Each porous aerogel sheet is 3 inches square and has the surface area near the size o f a foot ball field. Electricity is applied and the sheets become electrodes, at tracting (in the case o f sea water) chloride and sodium and allowing pu rified water to pass through. Potential applications include: • Desalination o f sea water for residential, com m ercial and a g ri cultural purposes. • Purification o f waste water, such as boiler water in nuclear and fossil fuel plants, and agricultural waste wa ter containing pesticides and other toxic compounds. • Electrically driven water soft eners for home use. • Removal o f contam inants in blood w ith minimal cell damage. "It may be that desalination is the prim ary application fo r this in the future,” says Farmer, “ but we're pretty excited about the e nviro n mental potential.” C ou n try h om e com p act, cozy (N U ) - The C am bridge is that rare e x c e p tio n to the ru le — a co m p a ct c o u n try -s ty le hom e.
