So, the self filling water bottles don't work because of the energy required to extract H2O out of the air is excessive (think how much electricity is required for your dehumidifier) ... Extracting carbon from the CO2 in the air is going to need a heap more, I would have thought.
I'm not a physicist though, would be glad to be proven wrong.
It does sound very much like a "solar freaking roadways" type effort though.
- proaralyst 8y agoPlants extract carbon from CO2 all the time. This material is using photosynthesis so I would assume it works close to as well as it does in plants.
- opless 8y agoIndeed I think I got confused ... either getting the Krebs Cycle the wrong way around or confused about where the ATP came from... Possibly the latter, this will teach me to comment whilst half asleep and half remembering biology from over 25 years ago... However my original poorly explained thought stands there needs to be an extra component that will be consumed like ATP or H2O...
