How oil spills could be cleaned up with magnets - video
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique for magnetically separating oil and water. Here, they explain how their technique, which uses nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids, could recover spilled oil for use and offset clean-up costs

could be used in many ways...how about a new kind of filter or maybe using this to make fracking obsolete? Or we could just use the natural electro-magnetics of the Earth as a never ending source of energy as Tesla envisioned.
