Nuclear superposition

An abandoned nuclear power plant in Shkelkino is a sad symbol of an era that has passed away. The construction of the nuclear power plant began in the 1970s, when the city of Shchelkino was selected to ensure the region’s energy security. However, the construction of the building has not been completed and has been in a state of destruction for some 50 years. For years, the nuclear power plant has attracted researchers and extrim amateurs to myths and legends. Abandoned structures create an atmosphere of mystery and interest. I decided to breathe a new life into this place by creating a botanical garden at the site of the ruins of the nuclear power plant. The project has the effect of atomic superposition: the building is both alive and dead, a symbol of loss and an oasis of nature. I use a lot of technology in the project to make the nuclear power plant a pleasant, safe, environmentally friendly place. Such an approach not only brings life back to this corner, but also creates a new context for discussing nuclear energy and its consequences.

An abandoned nuclear power plant is not just an architectural relic, but also a sad symbol of an era that has passed away. The clinkino on the side of the Kerchen Strait was selected as one of the sites for the new power plant, which was to ensure the region ' s energy security.

The botanical garden in Padua is one of the first gardens in the world to become one of the oldest collections of rare plants. The center of the garden is a large circle that symbolizes the sanctuary of the goddess Flora.

Concept

Original size 1920x1080

Superposition is the ability of an object to be in multiple states at the same time. There’s a merger of the two states of the nuclear power station — she’s both alive and dead.

Production of electricity from plant land

==History==Plant-e’s founders have developed electric power generation technology. They hope to find applications of their technology in some poor regions of the world away from the centres of civilization, where natural conditions are most favourable to the growth of plants and where, for various reasons, other clean energy technologies cannot be used

Work of the seawater desalination compressor

Reverse osmosis devices have a number of advantages. The cost of electricity is relatively small, the installation is compact and simple, both in installation and in use, and finally the operation of the installation is easily automated. The management of the desalinization unit may be either fully automatic or semi-automatic.
