Innovative Carbon Capture Device: The Mechanical Tree

The first "mechanical tree" stands on Arizona State University's Tempe campus. This climate change fighting tree is based on ASU professor, Klaus Lackner's research. The Mechanical Tree technology is able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere without the use of blowers or fans. This could help with greenhouse gasses and combat effects of global warming.
