watches this video, starts breathing heavily, opens window
Did you have a variety of C3, C4, and CAM plants? CAM plants collect CO2 at night (adapted for arid conditions) to reduce water loss from transpiration.
0:41 Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you brake, every step you take, I'll be watching you.
The water as a CO2 absorber was brilliant. Your field toilet is the exactly the same design we use. Except we use cat litter.
It’s over 9,000!
want to save the world? just dont breathe.
how about you do this experiment again with big algae tank, where the air is constantly circulating through the tank, this will be amazing data on how to keep people alive on mars with algae. Plus you can eat algae later if you want to keep the experiment going.
try some algae. they said that processes more co2 than anything.
I genuinely don't know how this doesn't have more views! (Also, all glory be to Tom Scott for bringing us here etc.)
Right when you mentioned how high the average amount of CO2 in people's bedrooms is, I immediately opened my window. 😂
Mr Beast... Hold my golden steak
summury: 1. Built a box. 2. put stuff in the box. 3. went inside box. 4. got scared and left box. 5. PROFIT!
OK, I need a carbon dioxide meter and measure air everywhere now.
6:01 I wanted him to say: ” The air feels thick, and I feel THICC. “
you need around 300-500 plants to sustain enough air for one person.
Man, it seems like this experiment is coming to an end, but I really hope you try it again, if for no other reason than to demonstrate what is sustainable for our world. Good luck and don’t suffocate!
I read from an ecologist at nasa that you would need to have about 280 trees to produce as much oxygen as a human consumes.
Btw having plants in there at night is counterproductive since the plants will just steal your... Nvm you mentioned it as I was writing this
You should redo the experiment with double the area and see how it is.
