An innovative face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions and slow down climate change, has won a prestigious design award.
The wearable device for cattle, created by UK-based design group Zelp, was one of the four winners of the inaugural Terra Cart Design Lab competition.
Prince Charles, who launched the competition as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative, hailed the ground-breaking design as "fascinating" at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday.
The design, a smart harness for cows, converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Cows expel significant quantities of methane, an odorless greenhouse gas, which is more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.
A sensor at the tip of the masks detects when a cow exhales and the percentage of methane expelled, WIRED reported. The mask sets the oxidation mechanism into action when methane levels are too high.
The mask also collects data on the animals to improve efficiency and animal welfare on farms.

Burps from billions of wild animals and buffalo OK! Burps from cows bad!
They still peddling this hogwash!
I should also mention that methane comes from the OTHER END of the cow.
Liberals will have cows running around with gas masks and fart bags. Then they will try to force people to wear them. They will say it’s for the children of course. Prince Charles should have put one on his horse face.
Charles was impressed at how well the mask worked to cut down Camilla’s toxic emissions.

Prince Charles will insist Joe Biden wear one on
his butt whenever he visits the UK since Biden has
a tendency to emit gas in front of them whenever he visits.
Correct...their masking the wrong end. LOL
And nothing plastic, since most are made from oil, natural gas, and coal.
Throw those phones and computers away. You are harming the planet!
The so called royals need to get a job or something.
Nearly 50 years ago my Dad was teasing one of my California cousins who was complaining about farm smell. He said we were going to make cows wear diapers and wear respirators so farm country wouldn’t smell like it’s supposed to.
We all had a big laugh at that.
Wouldn’t the cows also need a fart catcher, or at least a carbon filter for their back end?
what percentage does this contribute to the amount of methane in the atmosphere?
how many zeroes to the right of the decimal point?
SCARES the hell out me that he could be next King.
It’s just “Dairy Air from their Derriere.”
I have a load of methane that I’d love to bend over and release in Prince Charles smug inbred face. Think I’d get one of his prizes?
Can they make them in diaper form? Dr Jill needs some for her patient.
These people are literally insane. I N S A N E. That video at the top about that idiot climidiot interviewing some witch from the WHO/UN/GESTAPO wherever is an insult to humanity.
My mom’s assessment that Prince Charles is a moron who looks like Alfred E. Newman predated Mad Magazine’s telling portrait of the heir apparent when he was a lad. Because of his cerebral deficit, it’s turned out that Charles is fulfilling his destiny by making himself into the “air apparent.”
Ooh, ooh, a “smart” harness. !!!! Ooh.
Any product that has that word is a clue — you are about to be taken.
