We should embrace any tech that'll preserve aquatic life- and make our planet co-habitable.
EBEN A. K. I’m all for it!!!
Truth
After all, we humans have been traced back to a particular fish.
Agreed!
I live on the coast of Florida and have been in the water my whole life. I wish I had the money to do something positive like this
This is what we were meant to do with our complex thinking ability.
Not drill and melt ice sheets.
well we got the money to pay for research like this from the drilling.... Oil a real important economic booster for countries who pay for expensive (and not really needed) eco-friendly research.
@@just_some1575 it's a "tech startup", so I really don't understand your association with oil company. Secondly the research of ice sheet metling was conducted by the team of Danish scientists (75.2% of Denmark's GDP is service, not oil).
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts further confirmed the impact of ice sheet melting over the world's climate. Again this Institute is funded by countries whose main source isn't oil.
So your argument is redundant. Don't be so naive and vague. Idk where you're from but where I live climate has majorly been affected. Constant floods, heavy rainfall; because of the greed of few humans others are suffering consequences. And this isn't fair at all.
Well said
@@just_some1575 oil isnt an economic booster.. it's actually holding us back.. if we had sun and wind powered battery stored energy for mobility back when we were supposed to, we'd be much further ahead, and with a cleaner world.
@@just_some1575 I hope you live in the western united states right now. How is the oil company treating you?
We need to get this stuff here in Florida.
Write to your politicians!
Write to your construction companies.
Observe that the older natural rock sea walls in Florida are full of sealife. Much of the large rock boulders came by river barges from Alabama granite rock quarries. Concrete has a high pH that is caustic to marine life.
We need to get rid of Florida...
China as well could use this, when I was there I saw some construction at the coast and this could be so beneficial
Awesome! We are ruining all aquatic life, about time we start trying to find some solutions.
Globally probably too little too late, but why should this be patented when clearly it should benefit the rest of the world and not another privileged traunche of the bloodsucking global elite.
@@mikeharrington5593 Brcause if it isn't patented no more innovation is going to happen. Inventing solutions take time and money and since these people used only their own resourxes. They should reap all of the reward.
Future archaeologist: That's some elaborate ritual patterns...
LOL that's what they doing or telling us when archaeologist discover something :D
Haha so true... Archeologists ain't that bright. But they don't have UA-cam telling them what to think about everything...
goose bumps
more like a future youtuber video "why seaside concrete structures have strange patterns"
@@dubaiguy86 ah I don't think modern archeologists are that assumptive. I think they're a bit more objective today.
Very cool. These are the new kinds of products the world needs.
If only this mindset would be applied across all our environment.
Man people from israel are so smart and innovative. And the womans english is spot on
... and propaganda worked 😂
@@Shogohod funny that the one criticizing them is an arab
@@iyobyulius7355
I noticed that too
Hussain Mubarak you can dislike israel on a political spectrum but you can’t say in any way that israel isn’t a smart innovation country
She is smart. Being able to speak English has nothing to do with it. It's just a language....
I love stuff like this! Smart, helpful, Earth-friendly.
I like your point of view on the matter! Have you tried investing in cannabis? I know the best portfolio manager in the game Mrs Anna Clayton is Terrific you can reach her PA at +447418341823
Now all you have to do is convince a major government that this is cost effective
I wonder how much more this costs compared to normal concrete structures.
Riesenfriese money wont help when the whole worlds a sea
@@neverbrokeagain3866 and moral superiority wont help when the government goes bancrupt.
Riesenfriese there is a middle ground ... people are just selfish beings from there nature
Maybe if i was in control of this whole thing i would all so turn evil who knows
I dont
I’d hope to see these in Okinawa soon!
Compliments to the company 👍
We need more people working in every coastal cities around the world. What a great achievement. It brings joy to see these wonderful people talking about the knowledge behind on what it goes to make these concretes and we now see humans can change the world.
Another great idea from Israel.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
very cool. Using modern tech to imitate nature and thereby improving performance while helping our environment. Brilliant
Israel is a hope to the world they are giving the world a lot of solutions for a lot of problems
Love for Israel
Around the US, the breakwaters do not have clear waters (because the water is all polluted). The demarcation line of coastal to ocean water was impressive and apparent!
It’s great to see this company is trying to help save our breakwater waters.
Interesting information Life Back to the Sea
Coastal cities should adapt to this techniques
I love seeing the new inventions
This is AMAZING! I’m happy that companies are working on saving the environment. I’m here for it😍💚
This is amazing
Yet another innovation from the land of Israel. No surprises :)
Thieves have money to burn always.
@@abdullahiadam3268 exactly, thieves rather spend money on digging tunnels to kill steal and destroy, rather than using money to help their own people, let alone the rest of the world.
I have respect for them they doing a great job🌱💚
Wow this is great!
Thank you for adding value to life.
Is there a version the public consumer can make for themselves? Or is it more about product design? I liked the bowl shape. I can see how the mix can make a difference as well.
This is really cool...im impressed!
Great! So now we see it works, when will I be seeing it on the beach in my city?
While I do like the concept of finding environmentally friendly structures to prevent erosion, the production concrete and cement is detrimental to the environment. Aside from requiring sand from beaches to create, the process also releases significant amounts of co2 into the atmosphere.
Simply fantastic. This should be in all coastal building codes as a requirement. Ive seen enough.
Awesome development!
Wouldn’t it be great if Bill Gates or any philanthropists offered to pay to have any current concrete stones within the American coastlines, or even any of it, replaced with this eco-friendly product? Wish we could get Trump, and other skeptics/oil company sell-outs, on board with ideas like this to offset the damage pollution is doing to our environment. Our future generations will pay a steep price if big changes are not made.
Israel accent kinda sounds like a Dutch accent
ikr, I would swear she was Dutch until I saw the name
The languages also sound similar...
Matan Omer no lol what the fuck
Auke Meijer Theres the same sounds, the kh sound is similar, a lot of people say that
As a tourist guide that worked with many dutch and israelis, I must say I agree. It's a kind of very clear diction in pronouncing words.
Is it cheaper alternative?
Change the world by keeping ingredients secret?
For these 2 reasons alone this unfortunately won’t be a mainstream
Meanwhile, the forests in Victoria's Central Highlands can hold 1900 tonnes of carbon per hectare, but the government cuts down 3000 ha per year to make office and toilet paper.
Would you rather use a leaf or amazonian forest toilet paper? My question is, what is the soluation to your problem? A local forest gets cut down for mere toilet paper in your eyes. What is the catalyst for improvement to your complaint? I couldn't care if we all suffocate. I just don't like animals dying.
@@espaciofantazma901 Plantation forest instead of native forests. Bamboo is another alternative.
I love this concrete
Great Idea
best Israeli invention since that Bamba peanut snack.
genius! thanks to Bloomberg for highlighting this revolutionary company and idea!
Amazing research and development
I m amazed
I must be amazing to work for such company!
Yes!
Its always better to help life, instead of hurt life...Just as it is better to love life, then it is to hate life...Life is For_give...Love is forever this....
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Israel, leading the world in tech 👍🏼
Great idea. Very innovative
Would this work in lakes and rivers?
Ya it minimizes all the toxins the concrete brings into the environment so it should work everywhere
FREAKING AWESOME!!
Bless you people
-Man Versus Nature- No, Man WITH Nature
Thank you for this 😊
Adding back Calcium Carbonate extracted brine from Seawater desalination is also non-toxic and should be used the extra surface area helps..
Thats why i love Israel
Thank you Godbless
I love it well done!
I can't say I'm particularly convinced.
Hey Florida, California, Texas, Washington, are you watching this?
nope
We have been using "special" concrete mixes for years. Use of Calcium Carbonate sand for starters instead of river sand. Makes the surface colonize even faster than in this video. It was already here before they started working on it.
In New Zealand we just use really big ass natural rocks in our harbours
Use it in all coastal cities in the world!!
There is a serious downside though. For every pound of concrete created there is one pound of CO2 that is added to the air. To make this work ecologically, the CO2 must be sequestered somehow.
Some of the co2 is sequestered by the marine life that grows on the concrete
Incredible amazing work well done
where can I invest
You should try my portfolio manager Mrs Anna Clayton she is terrific! You can reach her PA at +447418341823
🤔
Congratulations to these people. We need more of you in this world. EU should promote you.
This is great
3:51 When she said that the growth of the organisms on the rocks creates a layer of defence for the concrete that makes it last longer in water I thought, ok, now that's the main reasons why they are investing on it. The eco stuff is all a very nice lucky consequence. Once again Nature teaches us something we were utterly ignorant of.
Go Israel! ❤️🇮🇱🙂
Mean while creating that concrete itself produces large carbon footprint... calcium carbonate in baked in klin to releasing co2 to form the cement itself
Do these guys need any more hands on deck.shout me .
We should make this mandatory in all major sea ports and expand to all ports.
thanks
0:40 bet she meant tipping point not tilting.
This is so cool
We need this in the Mediterranean Sea
Its an interesting project. But as a civil enginnering structure like break water, is this material "strong" enough ?
They said it pretty much the same as concrete but it also gets stronger over time
if there are only a few people who are willing to dedicate their lives to seriously think about the survival of this earth. see the impact .... amazing.
I like the idea
Why do the blocks have to have so much mass thought? Wouldn't it be enough to make them hollow so smaller fish can hide in there and there is more surface and less water gets repressed? If they are to light then they could be piled on top of another no?
tech bio synergy
Fantastic news
Hold up the ocean is getting more acidic every day because C02 is dialuted into it from our atmosphere, the thing is that caclium carbonate shells of marine animals can actually be dissolved by a very acidic ocean.
The first diver lady needs to get her pressure gauge fixed. Its leaking
Let's get life back in Mediterranean sea by making it less translucide.
Great product! Need to convince the governments that in the long run it is financially interesting.
Love love love and love
Thank you Israel...
These are the conversation I have with people when it comes to climate change. I don't even bother trying to convince them on the data. They don't care and I don't either. I tell people about the tech. People like the tech. When I tell people about Vertical Farming, they're fascinated about it and they like it because of the benefits it has. We have to start marketing green tech as a personal benefit, not as an immediate solution to an immediate threat. I'm sure they can convince more companies to care by providing them benefits as opposed to trying to gaslight them into buying their product to save the planet.
The problem is that this probably costs 5 times more than a normal concrete block
Wow!
This is really cool, but I would like to see if it is economic viable.
How more expensive does a block of their ECOncrete cost versus a normally used one?
This is awesome🤘🏽💯
Wicked awesome great news! 🐚🌊🐠
Love it!
Solutions like these should not be sold as products, this will only make it affordable to few people not used globally to tackle it they need to open source it. If not it will just end up being a video on UA-cam.
They need money to do R&D and actually making it this things don't just grow on trees
I wonder if they add basalt granules to their concrete.
So do these things actually serve as a sea defense or not - look at the size of the armour rock/concrete uniuts they're placing it next too... Probably alright in low energy wave climates but no match for conventional units in actually protecting coastlines.
Just a drop in the ocean so to speak, we've already poisoned all fish and there isn't a cubic meter of water that isn't riddled with plastic.
Really glad to see this in the doom and gloom of global warming, trump and Brexit. Thanks.
Trump and brexit are best thing happened in your life time.
Be thankful.
UmanKumar Kakal oh cool, I didn't know the internet was disabled friendly yet. Glad they let the mentally handicapped use it now.
@@twat240 give me some facts other than feeling why Trump is bad? Facts.
@@twat240 also why brexit is bad?
UmanKumar Kakal so I'm going to go in depth with Brexit rather than answer both. At first, I'd rather answer one well than two shitty, and my reason for hating trump is clear as day.
So Brexit. We're going for no deal Brexit yes? This is inarguable unless Johnson goes and wee get an extension. The EU cannot legally negotiate the withdrawal agreement (it was explicitly stated in the extension, the time is only for parliament to sort themselves out.
No deal Brexit means WTO guidelines. And no favoured nation, so we HAVE to give equal tariffs to every country unless we have an explicit trade deal for the next ten years (GATT article 24, paragraph 5C). So, let's assume we have almost no tariffs, we keep tariffs low for every single country. Our country will be FLOODED with foreign competition which will drive our agriculture, steel, financial sector, manufacturing, engineering all out of business, create mass unemployment, no independency, and we will likely end up like Africa, no fucking Joke, But no one is planning this. What will happen is we will have somewhat high tariffs to protect our industries. When we have high tariffs, we will also have equal tariffs slapped onto us by our trade partners. So, without the single market, our exports will become way less competitive and will fall. Farmers and manufacturers who sell up to 90% of their goods to the EU will see a stark fall in exports. Will almost definitely go out of business. The rescue package is laughably small, it is literally 5% what is expected to be lost. On top of the lack of competitiveness, we import many, many factors of production from Germany, France, USA, china, etc. That are going to drastically rise in price. Causing a rise in costs, causing massive cost-push inflation as well as making our imports way less competitive, and due to the amount we import, will drastically make our exports way less competitive. On top of the 25% depreciation expected by everyone, including brexiteer MPs. This is a fact, the pound dropped 20% after just the referendum. And that will do the sa,e thing that tariffs did to our costs of production and inflation. I emphasise, this will cripple our economy. British steel went bankrupt, so far 240k business are already lost to Brexit and up to a million are expected when Toyota and other firms (who announced they're leaving) finally leave within a year or two. This is before we've left. The young (24 or less) voted 75% to remain. They fucking love the EU, they WILL leave the UK - cause a brain drain, like what happened in Greece. We will have mass unemployment, a HEAVY recession and no debt relief like Greece had. Oh but we have heavy debt and virtually no interest rates - our fiscal and monetary policies are constrained. We cannot increase spending and we can't manipulate our currency to escape the recession. We will likely cause a FUCKING depression, the last one was caused by protectionism nowhere near as bad as this in times where trade wasn't nearly as important, and when they COULD use fiscal and monetary action to escape a recession. We will end up like Greece but with no debt relief and harsh trade barriers.
This is all before we get to the fact that trump has vetoed every single option for WTO judge (so we are literally down to one enforcing the trade laws). Likely in preparation for Brexit, so now we will likely suffer illegal tariffs and sanctions from the US so we do want they want - like they've done with Iran. Oh and the fact we won't have the EU enforcing tax loophole, evasion and transparency laws (which make the UK the most financially secret country in the world) in January 2019, announced early 2016. A withdrawal agreement makes us subject to these laws. Now it makes sense why literally EVERY no deal Brexiteer has strong links to investment banking - Farage (has a hedge fund), Rees Mogg (has a hedge fund), Javid (is an investment banker), Raab (literally caught getting money paid by hedge funds from tax havens). It goes on, the ONLY exception so far is Johnson. And name a single policy he implemented in London that was a success. Just ONE.
And in case you think we will get a trade deal, it took Canada 12, 12 and so far 8 (will go up to 12) years to sort trade deals with the USA, ASEAN and EU. It took Japan 10 years to get a trade deal with the EU and S. America a beautiful 20 years to get a trade deal with the EU. This stuff cannot be done within months. On top of that, if we somehow sorted one of our trade deals within a month, every month, it would take 58 years to get the deals we currently have. Which won't fucking happen, clearly. If you think America will have a trade deal, they won't. Trump is directly contradicting the Senates giving us terms that are physically impossible to meet. Trump will only deal with us if we destroy EU terms, let Americans use the NHS, import goods that don't meet EU standards and we have NO DEAL Brexit. In other words, we destroy trade relations, economically weaken ourselves and become solely dependent on the USA to give them incredible leverage and control over us. But that wasn't the point I was making. The point is that the Senators have said they will block EVERY deal with the US if we remove the backstop. The ONLY way we have the backstop and keep the peace in Northern Ireland is with a deal with the EU - the ONLY way. This directly contradicts Trump, we can't ever meet the senate and Presidents conditions. It's physically impossible.
Now you may say this is a worthy sacrifice, but it answers literally none of the issues. The issues for people where mass migration, lack of NHS funding, lack of power over our own country. 20% of immigration is from the EU, and they're the highly skilled labour - leaving isn't going to reduce ANY of the migration from Africa or Pakistan, that's our choice. Oh, and India have said to get a trade deal, we will need open borders (where 2bn Indians live). The NHS funding - we are going to lose so much from the recession and unemployment, on top of the divorce payment and the fact we only gave 7bn away to the EU, we are estimated to lose a minimum of £100bn. I think that is nowhere near enough. I estimate 250bn. 10% our GDP. Furthermore, we will be weaker by every measure economically, how will we EVER have any sort of say globally now? We will be desperate and every country can see why, we will have no say in what happens in the biggest trade bloc that ever existed - like we used to. Brexit will exasperate ALL of our problems. Migration, lack of funding, lack of control. All exasperated in every way.
And if you think "project fear". I'm an economist, this type of thing is literally what I have a job for. It's also the unanimous opinion of 99% of economists. This WILL happen. The effects will also be immediate, even the Torys are terrified of medicine and food shortages. This genuinely isn't up for debate, any other opinion on this is factually wrong at every possible level.
Great technology! thats why japan have its own special rocks under the water
Yesterday, we witnessed the killing of around 100 pilot whales in the Faroe Islands, the autonomous province of Denmark. Please do our best to let the cruel and destroy our home's things away from this world, too. Thank you...
