I'm impressed, really really impressed.
Param Jaggi, a 17-year-old high school senior spent three years and came up with a device that cheaply converts an automobile's carbon dioxide emissions (think global warming and go boo) into oxygen (now go hurrah).
Param's Algae Mobile won an award from the Environmental Protection Agency for cleaning up the exhaust fumes from a car that would normally pollute the air. Believe it or not the Algae Mobile works by photosynthesis, with algae inside a gas-permeable, aluminum tube placed in the car's exhaust pipe converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. The teen inventor has applied for a patent and I am certain this will not be his last invention.
Now if only the adult inventors of the world would follow Param's example. Photo credit: Hisham Ibrahim/Getty Images
Too easy. Have you any more details, or is this an April Fools’ joke in June? If this technology is for real can it be scaled up from car exhausts. And if it is for real, how do invest in its production?

Hey, where did you get your funding?
This would be no different than planting a tree. It doesn’t fix anything. You probably wouldn’t even be able to measure any co2 reduction in the exhaust.
Why are all of you so against this?
This is a kid we’re talking about here.
Are you people just jalous you didn’t come up with such a clever idea?
And “Not Quite,” : If it’s the same as planting a tree? so what? Have YOU got a better idea?
methinks its AWESOME!!!!! co2 to oxygen… that could save the world!
