Artificial plants can create oxygen

These artificial plants can convert carbon dioxide emissions into oxygen.

Hiding under the shade of cool trees during hot summer days is already a wonderful thing between cities. Not only cool, your body also feels fresh and healthy when there is more oxygen produced by these plants. Only thing, finding shady trees is always difficult for big urban people.

Fake trees - the result of pollution reduction science for big cities in the future

Looking at many of the city's green spaces has become endless concrete forests, scientists at Columbia University, New York, have designed an artificial plant that converts carbon dioxide emissions into oxygen.

After a period of close cooperation with Influx Studio, Paris, scientists created a tree with towering branches like a large mushroom. On top of the tallest tree, they put solar panels to power carbon dioxide into oxygen.

This has generated attention at the ' Boston treepods 2011 ', a competition to create artificial plants for urban people, although it is capable of performing photosynthesis like a natural tree, artificial plants do not need soil. and water to grow.

To maximize the appearance of this plant as an environmentally friendly product, this tree trunk and decorations are made from recycled plastic bottles. Through the ability to bind carbon dioxide, this product is expected to help improve the air quality of modern cities.
