The Future?



Imagine everyone wearing these funny ass little suits and driving plant leaves.

YeZ, pronounced yea-zi, which means "leaf" in Mandarin, is named so not only due to the aesthetics and big leaf-like roof of the buggy but because it literally takes in CO2 and pumps out oxygen. Maybe a negative emissions vehicle?

The car gets its power from solar panels on top of the leaf and from the wind turbines on the side of the wheels. The energy conversions are then stored in the a lithium battery to power the car.

Maybe the best part of all is the metal organic framework that is claimed to absorb CO2 and water and convert it into O2.
