An atmospheric water capturing device for transforming water vapor into liquid water has a plurality of channels. The device further includes a plurality of hydrogel membranes. Each hydrogel membrane having a surface that at least partly defines a respective channel of the plurality of channels. A liquid desiccant is in contact with a side of each hydrogel membrane opposite the surface of the hydrogel membrane that at least partly defines the respective channel.

The present invention comprises the deployment of a product known as RubisCO Climate Vaccine or simply RCV which contains a specialised adapted culture of psychrophile algae and accelerators. This RCV is inoculated into targeted tropospheric clouds. The cumulatively large air-liquid optical interface area of clouds enables conditions for potential exponential photosynthetic algal growth and replication during which carbon dioxide is processed and oxygen released directly in the troposphere. Optimal inoculation sites are determined by altitude, humidity, temperature, weather patterns and predicted direction and duration of travel for precipitation, The biomass produced in this process is intended to be precipitated over mid-ocean where it is sequestered within natural ocean food chains or sedimented as detritus essentially permanently. This nature-based solution through repeated deployments offers a feasible scalable pathway toward potential climate change reversal within a decade with minimal or no adverse environmental impact.

Disclosed are devices and methods for capturing carbon dioxide and other gases. All gas-capturing systems employ chemical fluid/media for binding purposes. One system delivers chemicals in droplet form, while another system delivers feed gas in bubble form. All systems employ an admixing chamber for confining and uniting particles of matter, as well as streaming means for placing gas in confinement. The droplet-based delivery system packetizes chemicals using an atomizing device, while the bubble-based delivery system packetizes gaseous feedstock using metering means, rerouting means, perturbation means, and stream-dividing means. The droplet and bubble systems feature common or unique advantages relating to chemical flow, surface area, and/or progressive cycling. These advantages increase the efficiency of gas-capturing devices in general and decarbonizing devices in particular.

A carbon processing system comprises an air mover and a multi-stage reactor. The multi-stage reactor processes ambient air and generates carbon dioxide and generates exhausted gas released to ambient air. In operation, air contacts the base solution via the air mover. The air reacts with the base solution thereby generating a base solution having carbon dioxide and generating exhaust (absorption reaction). Next, the exhaust is released from the reactor. Next, heat is applied to the base solution having carbon dioxide thereby generating carbon dioxide and generating a base solution without carbon dioxide (desorption reaction). The base solution without carbon dioxide generated after applying heat is reusable in processing new air. The absorption reaction and desorption reaction are reversible reactions resulting in regeneration of the base solution into its form prior to contact with the air yielding high scalability and less processing volume as required by many conventional carbon processing techniques.
