Two 18-year-old students from Pennsylvania have developed an innovative, low-cost exhaust filter that turns harmful vehicle emissions into oxygen using microalgae.
Rohan Kapoor and Jack Reichert created the Go Green Filter, a compact device that easily attaches to a car’s tailpipe. The filter uses living microalgae to capture carbon dioxide and other pollutants, releasing clean oxygen in their place.
Inspired by research from an MIT professor, the pair spent nearly a year perfecting their prototype. According to Chester County Press, the device costs only about $50 to produce and has demonstrated a remarkable 74% reduction in emissions during testing.
The teenagers estimate that if their filter were installed on all vehicles worldwide, it could potentially cut global carbon emissions by more than 16%.
A simple yet powerful idea that proves young innovators can make a real impact on the climate crisis.
@TkeeTonya Yes. It’s called electioneering. In NY you cannot have anything that repeats words on the ballot. No candidate names no political parties. But she could wear MAGA as long as it didn’t say Trump (in New York other states are different)
@elonmusk How will the people of North Carolina and Georgia be able to vote? Were their boards of elections affected? Will the Biden/Harris administration make sure there are drop boxes next to migrant enclaves?
@PeterSweden7 What happened to the Vikings? Are there no longer giant blonde men who strike fear in their enemies hearts? Or did they all move to America?
. @gillibrandny@SenSchumer I urge you to vote NO on the Women's Health Protection Act (better named Abortion On Demand Until Birth Act), an extreme bill that would go beyond codifying Roe and eliminate all pro-life laws currently in place that protect women and children.
. @SenGillibrand@SenSchumer I urge you to vote NO on the current Appropriations Bill that does not include pro-life protections like Hyde. It is wrong to force people to violate their consciences through taxpayer funding of abortion under any circumstance! @MFLAction
