Abstract: A system and method for producing salts using a crystallizer with an integrated column is disclosed. In the column, liquid, containing one reactant, absorbs a second reactant, from the gas stream. The second reactant reacts with the first reactant to produce salt. Liquid leaving the column and rich in salt, collects in the crystallizer. Conditions within the crystallizer promote nucleation and crystal growth. A recirculation system withdraws a portion of liquid from the crystallizer for introduction into the column.

Abstract: A device having the form of a cylindrical spiral cavity and/or incorporating a helicoidal slot, making it possible to reduce induced drag and marginal swirl (vortex) and increase drag/lift ratio. Integrated with the wingtip or articulated on the wingtip, it can be adapted for all airfoils, in particular the wings of airplanes and gliders, helicopter blades and the tips or tractor or pusher airscrews, wind-powered generator blades and for surface vessels or submarines where lift or direction is used in triple axis (vertical, horizontal, and yaw) displacement. Used in a reverse configuration (undersurface/upper surface) on high speed land vehicles or racing cars, this device, when secured to the tip of each wing, produces a result inversely proportional to speed. The faster the vehicle is traveling, the less drag it generates and greater its ground adhesion.
