The final concept design will still
be an open system. The idea is to split the muffler into two mufflers. At the
end of each muffler, a valve system would be placed as a form of a fail-safe.
The valves will make sure that the temperature and pressure stay ideal because if
they don’t, some of the gases can become flammable or even turn into dry ice
causing our device to become hazardous. The valve will have sensors placed
so that if the temperature and pressure do become too high, the valve will
release all the fumes into the atmosphere avoiding any complications with the system. After the valves' system is opened to allow the fumes to go into the system, the two mufflers will run through the side
of the car separately. The fumes will go through the valves' system and into the area where the genetically modified plants are located, so they can convert the carbon dioxide to oxygen. The reason that the genetically modified plants are being used is that these plants will be able to convert carbon
dioxide to oxygen at a faster rate and they will be able to work during intense
heat. Also, these additions will come by parts because the length of these parts
will vary depending on the size of the vehicle.
