Ancient Sumerians in southern Mesopotamia dug canals. More than 4,000 years ago Egyptian farmers relied on the Nile—traces of their irrigation systems survive today. Throughout the Roman Empire cities were supplied by manmade aqueducts. High in the Andes in present-day Peru the Incas and their predecessors built cisterns and irrigation canals, and carved terraces into the hillsides.
On The Curse of Oak Island this week, Rick and Marty Lagina faced their biggest ever setback since starting their multi-million dollar treasure hunt – after a gaping sinkhole threatened to shut down the entire Money Pit operation.
Every month during 2019, Safety+Health will be sharing bits of the magazine’s history from its first 100 years.
The two men were not alone in trying to chip away at decades of carbon emissions. An American start-up, Global Thermostat, now finishing its first commercial plant in Alabama, began working on air-capture machines in 2010. And almost from the start, Gebald and Wurzbacher found themselves in a friendly competition with David Keith, the Harvard engineering professor who had just started Carbon Engineering in British Columbia. Keith’s company settled on a different air-capture technology — employing a higher-heat process, and a liquid solution to capture CO₂ — to brew synthetic fuels. Climeworks’s big advantage is that it can make smaller plants early, Keith told me: “I am crazy jealous. It’s because they’re using a modular design, and we’re not.” On the other hand, Keith said he believes his firm is closer to building a big plant that could capture carbon at a more reasonable cost and produce substantial amounts of fuel. “I don’t see a path for them to match this.” Gebald told me he thinks his and Keith’s companies will each succeed with differing approaches. For now, what all the founders have in common is a belief that the cost of capturing a ton of carbon will soon drop sharply.
With a decent chance that the whole Money Pit area could collapse, the ROC Equipment drilling enterprise is now on hold until an engineer could inspect and evaluate the site.
Epiroc Drilling Tools knows a thing or two about rock. Our earliest experience of mining and steel dates back to the 14th Century. In the intervening 700 years we like to think we’ve acquired a measure of expertise – a fact perhaps best reflected by our history of innovation and our comprehensive selection of rock drilling tools. Over the years Epiroc Drilling Tools has met the needs of mining and construction companies, quarry and water well drillers the world over with continuously improved products.
Is the H8 collapse just another confounding Oak Island occurrence? Could it be a sign of another ingeniously designed booby trap? Or will their search in the Money Pit be over for good?

You can also interact with the W9 using Sony’s TV Sideview app, available for iOS and Android. It gives you full control over the TV, a detailed TV guide, the ability to browse your local network for files and lets you schedule recordings. Once on the same network, you can also display content held on your phone on the TV.
Gebald and Wurzbacher believe the way to gain a commercial foothold is to sell their expensive CO₂ to agriculture or beverage companies. Not only do these companies require CO₂ anyway, some also seem willing to pay a premium for a vital ingredient they can use to help market their products as eco-friendly.
