Final Data of the Amount of Carbon Dioxide Reduced with the Transduction Device

FINAL CALCULATIONS

Final Concept Idea for the Future of the Transduction Device

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.

Part 2: Testing the Release of Carbon Dioxide

After the carbon dioxide meters have been calibrated, two tests must be done since the carbon dioxide can be released in two ways into the atmosphere: escape directly as carbon dioxide through the hole on the plant's side of the device; convert into oxygen through photosynthesis and get released into the atmosphere through the hole on the plant's side of the device.

Part 1: Calibration of CO₂ Sensors

Recently, CO₂ sensors were obtained for measuring the amount of CO₂ in order to determine the rate of photosynthesis from automotive fuels. However, before determining this, the actual devices must be calibrated because they are not accurate to each other.

Concept Ideas for the Device in the Future

The current design for the device completes the task it was built to do but is inconvenient for buyers who would prefer a less bulky structure that would filter the carbon dioxide into oxygen before releasing it back into the atmosphere. The concept ideas are here to show the development of the product several years from now when it can go on the market for purchase by customers.

Bicarbonate Indicator Solution Test

In order to create a filtering system specifically for automotive fumes, it is important to know the concentration of fumes coming out of a car.
