Present Technology
Our technology is also like a satellite, and there is 1 satellite in the
atmosphere. It is 372 miles (600 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface, at the
Thermosphere layer of the atmosphere. Although some satellites calculate the
amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, none have actually helped to
get rid of the gases. For example, Japan launched ibuki, also known as
GOSAT, and it was launched from Tanegashima Space Center on January 23,
2009. In the future, we are going to make a satellite that will not only be able to
see all of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but get rid of some of them,
too. Our invention is also like a tree. It has the same features, such as taking in
carbon dioxide, then putting out oxygen. Carbon Switch has plant cells in the
middle vent so that it can control the other vent where the oxygen and carbon
dioxide are.
History
The technology that we hope to use in our project is photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to create food for themselves.
Although it may not seem like this is a form of technology now, it will be if our
invention is built.
Many scientists contributed to the discovery of how photosynthesis
works. Some of these scientists include Jan Baptista Van Helmont, Joseph
Priestley, Jan Ingenhousz, Jean Senebier, Julius Robert Mayer, and Julius
Sachs. Photosynthesis is a very complex process, but is also very important.
Trees are the air purifiers for the Earth, but we have cut down so many that
there are not enough to efficiently clean the air. In our robot, we will create an
artificial version of photosynthesis, which will be very useful in the future for
other inventions, too.
Future Technology
We hope for this technology to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere. Our new technology would include parts of plant cells, such
as vascular cambium, phloem, and xylem. These are important cells because
they help with the process of photosynthesis. Many scientists believe that the
Earth would be too cold for us to live in if the Greenhouse gasses were not in
the atmosphere but realize that we have too many of these gases in the
atmosphere at the moment. Our new invention is going to get rid of some of
these gases, but makes sure that there is still enough carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere for us to live. Our invention would vacuum in some of the carbon
dioxide and for every six carbon dioxide molecules our robot vacuums in , it
lets out 4 of them as oxygen, and the other two as carbon dioxide. Our idea
doesn’t get rid of all the carbon dioxide since we need some to trap heat to
keep Earth warm.
We will need these robots stationed around the world, but very high in
the atmosphere so that it does not disrupt everyday life . Trees also can help
with this. They too would take in CO2 and let out Oxygen, and this is a process
