Hi Michael, I stumbled over your website yesterday and started playing around a bit. What I am still wondering is how exactly you got to equation 1. I tried to...

Hi, Equation 1: The average velocity of a gas needs to be 1/6th of the escape velocity. 1/6th is to minimise the loss of gas at maximal velocity. This is the...

Hi, You can't sieve C from CO2. C is a solid and will physically block the sieve. The best we can do is sieve CO2 from the atmosphere and then convert that...
