Algae are photosynthetic organisms that live in aquatic environments, ranging from single-celled microorganisms to large, multicellular seaweeds. They may or may not use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds through the process of photosynthesis. Some types of algae have special carbon-concentrating mechanisms that allow them to more efficiently absorb CO2. Algae are important in reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, making them potentially useful in mitigating climate change.
The CO2ube (pronounced: C-O-Tube) is a device that fits directly on the exhaust of any motor vehicle. The device uses photosynthesis and simple chemical reactions to diminish carbon dioxide from the source itself. To accommodate any exhaust stream, it has built an adapter that uses simple engineering to transfer emissions from any exhaust tip, into the filter.
The actual process is simple yet elegant. Innovation is in applying what you have learned to solve real problems of the day and this is where this product comes in. Here the algae have grown within the exhaust stream through a process of artificial selection in the lab. Multiple generations of algae colonies were grown to find the most suitable strain for the heat and pressure of the exhaust system. The ultimate product is sodium carbonate which does not harm the environment. In general, the reaction is able to produce water, sodium carbonate, oxygen, and sugars for the algae to grow.
CO2ube filter will last about 8-10 weeks.
