    What the hell do you mean? Ever heard of photosynthesis or even biology?

    The box only catches the CO2. Then you are to take the box to a
    facility where the CO2 is eaten by algae. The algae is then converted
    to bio-fuel.

    If it is feasable, it would be a good idea, since natural fuel
    supplies are limited and it would be a good way to save the carbon.
    But it will only be practical when fuel supplies are about to run out.
    No reality at all with saving global warming.

    But I'd like to see how they capture the CO2 and separate it from the
    nitrogen in the air. A motor needs free back pressure in it's exhaust.
    They also need to show what kind of fuel mileage they get with this
    adaptation. The cost of building the plants to grow the algae and
    convert it to bio-fuel are high also.

    If they have a means to extract CO2 from the nitrogen gases, why not
    do this directly at the Algae farm or at power generating plants? In
    any event, the inventors seem more concerned with keeping their
    secrets and their profits than with providing information that may
    benefit humanity. Probably just another investor scam.
