First 10 Minutes of the Day
I woke up this morning with a different, interesting thread running through my head. I woke up thinking about window washers and how they dangle a thousand feet in the air just to clean the windows of a skyscraper. Sears Tower (never Willis) has 16,100 bronze tinted windows. Each year, the windows are cleaned by people repelling the outside of the building either on dangling ropes or electric scaffolding. Here is how that train of thought derailed... why can’t drones clean the windows. It seems to me, a fleet of drones could make short work of the job if programmed properly. But how do the drones handle the weight of the wash material? Water is not lightweight and introducing chemicals seems to be counter productive to my environmental focus. But if you replaced the glass with self cleaning glass, that would make it so you never need drones to clean the glass. By using self cleaning glass, there isn’t water waste, it doesn’t do harm to the environment and it reduces harmful radiation
