Abstract
a means for clearing the atmosphere of CO2 molecules by: First, changing the molecule to one of two IR active modes, where it becomes a dipole, thereby reactive to a magnetic fields. Second, by facilitating a unquie frequency of rotation or tagging the CO2 molecule with a certain frequency. Third, and finally by using the momentum in an acoustic wave at the same certain frequency to sweep CO2 out of the source stream for collection.

A method for removing CO2 molecules 46 from an atmospheric air stream comprising:
- a. using a laser beam and exciting the CO2 molecule with a frequency in the tera hertz range, thereby making the CO2 molecules responsive to a magnetic field,
- b. magnetically, identifying or “tagging” CO2 molecules with a frequency of rotation, they become identifiable, among the many other molecules in an atmospheric air stream,
- c. produced by a transducer fixed perpendicular to said air stream, the momentum from an acousticwave at this same frequency, is used to sweep the air stream clear of CO2 molecule.
A machine for clearing an atmospheric air stream of CO2 molecules 46, comprising:
- a. a means for producing a field of terahertz radiation, from a laser or other complimentary device, thereby moving the CO2 molecules from an IR inactive state to an IR active state, they become dipoles, reactive to a magnetic field,
- b. a magnetic field for adjusting the rotation frequency of the CO2 molecules,
- c. a perpendicularly fixed transducer for producing acoustic waves of energy, in a frequency with rotating CO2 molecules and capable of pushing the CO2 molecules out of the perpendicular air stream, for collection.
A method for transforming the molecule CO2 (IR inactive) into an (IR active) mode by means of exposure to terahertz radiation. When the molecule CO2 is in an IR active state. It can be made to rotate at a specific frequency in a magnetic field. By an acoustic wave that is transmitted perpendicular to the air stream, at the same frequency as the CO2 molecules rotate, the CO2 molecules are sweep by the momentum of the acoustic wave out of the air stream to the exclusion of other molecules in the air stream, CO2 molecules can be collected via a separation port and conduit for disposal or further use.
- a. create a field of terahertz radiation surrounding a perpendicularly flowing air stream and transforming CO2 molecules in said air stream from IR inactive to an IR active CO2 molecules, thereby making them responsive to magnetics,
- b. use a magnetic field to give a specific frequency of rotation to CO2 molecules, thereby identifying them among the many other molecules in the air stream,
- c. use an acoustic wave at the same frequency as CO2 molecules to sweep by means of acoustic momentum the CO2 molecules out the air stream for collection via separation port and separation conduit.
Clear the atmosphere of excess CO2 molecules comprisng:
- a. create a field of terahertz radiation surrounding and perpendicularly flowing air stream and transforming CO2 molecules in said airstream from IR inactive to IR active CO2 molecules, thereby making them respond to magnetic fields,
- b. use the magnetic field to give a specific frequency to the CO2 molecules, thereby identifying them amoung the many other molecules in the air stream,
- c. use an acoustic wave at the same frequency as the CO2 molecules to sweep the CO2 molecules out of the air stream for collection via separation port.
A method of removing CO2 molecules from the atmosphere comprising:
- a. using a laser to excite the CO2 molecule with a frequency in the terahertz range, thereby producing a dipole, that is responsive to magnetic fields,
- b. use a magnetic field to give CO2 a unique frequency of rotation,
- c. use acoustic wave momentum and energy at the frequency of the rotating CO2 molecules to sweep CO2 molecules into a separation port, completing the process.
A machine for clearing the air of CO2 molecules 46 comprising:
- a. a means for producing a field of terahertz radiation at the correct frequency, thereby transforming the molecules
- b. a means for producing a magnetic field to give CO2 molecules a specific frequency of rotation
- c. a perpendicularly fixed transducer for producing acoustic waves in frequency with the CO2 molecules and exclusively pushing the molecules into a separation port and finally into separation conduit for disposal or further use.
