I did a project (in late highschool) in a physics/chemistry subject with 3 friends about CO2 levels in classrooms. Our measurements showed that in many classrooms with no ventilation systems or opening of windows during a class, CO2 levels would easily hit levels of 2000-3000 ppm in only 90 minutes. The school actually ended up having a new ventilation system implemented in the entire school of about 500-600 students, inspired by our project's results. Before the new ventilation, people would waste energy in the winter by opening windows to get a flow of fresh air even though the heating was on in the building. Thus, the new ventilation system not only improved the classroom air quality, but also saved energy.
You can try to put some microscopical algae in a tiny pool inside the dome , by bubbeling the Air inside the dome into the water of the pool you can produce oxigen too , in conmbination with plants and some grass It would be sostenible . Or you can try to do an air filter based on a basic solution insted of simply water because carbónic acid reacts easly un basic enviroment to form carbonate and hidrogencarbonate compounds
Did you measure the oxygen content? Your CO2 levels are not extremely high. So most probably your oxygen levels are getting seriously low. Also oceans are basic and co2 is a very weak acid only making oceans just a tiny bit less basic.
@@picobyte Many would say that 1% is extremely high... but more to the point, in addition to both of my sensors not being able to measure CO2 at that high of a level - my CO2 TWA (time weighted average) went over the recommended work-day exposure limit. Oxygen wasn't the issue ( measured it, but it only dropped a bit then stabilized once it was daytime), it was CO2 that was the problem. As for our oceans, you're right... but 'a tiny bit' of a difference in the pH can be devastating for creatures living in it.
Did you have a variety of C3, C4, and CAM plants? CAM plants collect CO2 at night (adapted for arid conditions) to reduce water loss from transpiration.
Yes! I did have a mix of photosynethsis types, like corn (C4), sunflower (C3), and a single CAM plant, who is also the poster-boy of my channel, Sir Stabbington the cactus. Its kind of neat actually, because my subscribers water him, and they've made him grow... and that was the only plant helping me over night. So, thanks!

@@ScopeofScience ha the poor guy must've been doing overtime in there. Maybe on attempt number two include some more to help with CO2 momentum. They're meant to conserve water so they wouldn't require any more water, and having them would help simulate the earth better, since the sun is always shining (and therefore producing oxygen) somewhere on Earth. Just a thought!
Stabbington is a real trooper :) If I did a second attempt, which I probably won't because WOW that was stressful, the biggest change I would make is to make sure it was a sunny day. For a number of logistic reasons, if I wanted to do it I had to start the project on Oct 24th regardless of weather. Anyway, I can breathe easy again :)
how about you do this experiment again with big algae tank, where the air is constantly circulating through the tank, this will be amazing data on how to keep people alive on mars with algae. Plus you can eat algae later if you want to keep the experiment going.
It's an interesting idea, but it's impractical as a CO2 capture device. Water at these temperatures and pressures only will dissolve a tiny amount of CO2. Even at the highest CO2 pressure you had, ~1kPa, you would dissolve about 0.000007 (seven millionths) moles of CO2 per mole of water at 20°C according to the CRC Handbook. Assuming 40kg of water in that bottle, that corresponds to 8 mL of dissolved pure CO2, or half of a breath's worth of carbon dioxide fully captured.

id love to know how much co2 is in a public bus when its really full. or at a concert. i tend to get a little dizzy on long, packed bus rides and at the end of concerts that are super packed.
Just stumbled in and this seems VERY interesting. So I better go watch part 1 first. Before I leave for part 1 I would like to leave a question/ramble. I live by myself in a quite small apartment (40m2). I've been interested to try indoor growing for a few years, and last spring I actually started it. Random info which may be relevant to question: Bought myself a tent (120x120cm, 205cm high), and also built a smaller "shelf", as a standalone placed next to the tent (120x40cm, 80cm high). I use hydroponics, 5x 20l DWC-buckets in the tent, and 6+ 4l Kratky (no air pump) for herbs/lettuce on the "shelf". In the tent I have the larger plants: Currently 4x sugar snaps climbing the walls (2/bucket), 1 tomato and 2 chili. Air pump moves around 1800L/h (drawing air from other side of apartment). 4x 100W COB LEDs in tent, and 4x 27W "LED tubes" in the smaller tent/shelf. Of course also have a few other decorative plants like Zamioculcas in the apartment. I think the air smells a tiny bit more "fresh" since I started to grow things. But I have never measured CO2 or Oxygen etc. Do you think this comparatively small amount of plants can affect the air in a small apartment, or is it negligible? Doesn't really matter to be honest. It makes me happy to see my plants grow and give me food. But your video really made me wonder. Anyway, off to watch this little series from the start ^^
This is such an interesting video series, I’ve watched it several times over the years. I do wonder if this experiment could have worked with a slightly different mix of plants, sunnier day (or a longer day in the summer) and uv lamps- although more sun could definitely have led to you overheating, greenhouses can get unbearably hot and humid. I know it likely won’t be possible to do this again but it’s interesting to think about!
Thank you, Tom...This experiment makes me concerned when I see a mother with a baby in a pram with a rain cover on it sealing in carbon monoxide...... Just a thought. I welcome any comments as long as they are knowledgeable people.
hey, i know this is a old video and it has a lot of comments on it but i want you to know you have a new subscriber and helped me think about how to lessen my impact on the earth.
Many plants is good to convert more CO2 to O2 during the day however, more plants = more O2 consumption during the night. Photosynthesis consists of two phases; light dependent and light independent. During the day or should I say, in the presence of light, plants use CO2 and convert it to O2, but during the night or in the absence of the light wavelength needed for light dependent photosynthesis, those plants will actually consume the good delicious O2 you need and convert it to CO2... not in the same ratio but they still do, that’s the light independent phase. Maybe if you use plants with very low CO2 consumption during light independent phase, you would be able to stay/survive longer in that giant sealed « mesocosm ». And if you find a way of consuming the same or maybe a bit less O2 than the total production/input of O2 overall (night and day) you just solved global warming. Great video man, keep it up!
Also “rain clouds” collect gas particles which increases acidity in rain which is called “acid rain.” And well you know what happens. Rain goes into bodies of water, decreasing pH levels and more acidity, which kills fish and other living things. Also damages other things.
Planting a tree is good... but its going to take them a Long time to soak up a significant amount of CO2, and we're pumping out a LOT each year. We don't have that time.
I planted over 44 just by using the ecosia search engine, they're a search engine like google but they use their money they make to plant trees instead of... Whatever google does with their money.
Planting trees does absorb C02 but eventually, it will end up back in the atmosphere when the tree dies or branches fall. The wood decomposes and rots releasing the C02, to make a truly sustainable way of trapping C02 we need to create self sustaining ecosystems
The problem of heat is because you are stopping the hotter air from rising with a physical barrier, normally hot air rises and colder air from above comes down but it can't do that.
I wonder if you could do some experiment to show how well the plants reduce the CO2. I think it wont be enough even with ideal sun shine. But any amount of reduction would be neat to see.
I have asthma, and a lot of lung problems, when I was younger, I had to be put on breathing machines during the day. I have so many inhalers, that it is kind of ridiculous, my lungs are very weak. And I rely on oxygen, every single day, and knowing that the air that I breath, is polluted just damages my already damaged lungs even more. I wish people were more aware of the toxic things that we are producing, and how it's affecting everything on Earth.
I’ve done some maths and my findings suggest that the first gas to reach lethal concentration in the air in your “jar” is carbon monoxide, not carbon dioxide; but of course this is a just a small sample box so its not relevant to the bigger picture, but we still have to be accurate :))
Where is that carbon monoxide coming from in your calculations?? I did have a CO alarm in there, just for the record. Have had CO poisoning in the past and was not about to repeat that experience.
If you try again you should a, have more plants, b, use CAM plants, and c, use solar panels and a bettery to power a light at night or cloudy days so the plants are more reliable. Although that would be expensive.
I am honestly curious what other types of plants would do in an experimant as this. How much would adding a thin accrylic aquarium with algea, in which you dissolved a decent anount of CO2. Curious about part 3!
Good questions! There are SO many factors and so many difficulties in running an experiment like this. Even if I just didn't talk as much (to make these videos), I would have lasted a lot longer inside... Thanks :)
So after this video explains how plants get rid of C02 thus helping the oceans people are deciding to only eat the very thing that helps opposed to eating another animal that outputs C02?
Should replace the plants with a couple tubs full of diatoms and the appropriate nutrients to feed them to accurately represent the earths oxygen output.

The water as a CO2 absorber was brilliant. Your field toilet is the exactly the same design we use. Except we use cat litter.

It's an interesting idea, but it's impractical as a CO2 capture device. Water at these temperatures and pressures only will dissolve a tiny amount of CO2.

Bought myself a tent (120x120cm, 205cm high), and also built a smaller "shelf", as a standalone placed next to the tent (120x40cm, 80cm high). I use hydroponics, 5x 20l DWC-buckets in the tent, and 6+ 4l Kratky (no air pump) for herbs/lettuce on the "shelf".
In the tent I have the larger plants: Currently 4x sugar snaps climbing the walls (2/bucket), 1 tomato and 2 chili. Air pump moves around 1800L/h (drawing air from other side of apartment).
4x 100W COB LEDs in tent, and 4x 27W "LED tubes" in the smaller tent/shelf. Of course also have a few other decorative plants like Zamioculcas in the apartment.
I think the air smells a tiny bit more "fresh" since I started to grow things. But I have never measured CO2 or Oxygen etc. Do you think this comparatively small amount of plants can affect the air in a small apartment, or is it negligible?
Doesn't really matter to be honest. It makes me happy to see my plants grow and give me food. But your video really made me wonder.
Anyway, off to watch this little series from the start ^^
This is like a Mr.Beast challenge but with a reward of knowledge instead of money
This is such an interesting video series, I’ve watched it several times over the years. I do wonder if this experiment could have worked with a slightly different mix of plants, sunnier day (or a longer day in the summer) and uv lamps- although more sun could definitely have led to you overheating, greenhouses can get unbearably hot and humid. I know it likely won’t be possible to do this again but it’s interesting to think about!
The sequel to Oxygen Not Included looks really cool
So would you like me to prevent co2 by not breathing
R/woosh
@@hunterwilliams4890 How is that a woosh? Also if you say r/woosh you're automatically the gay.
Lemon 'd Yeah. Nothing to woosh to even.
It's more important we slow down our carbon emissions
Yeah I'll also do that
Vegetarians be like ” eat more vegetables, we need more trees and plants btw”😂😂jk
Plants are alot happier and work better when they dont have light blasting them at night time. #lightpollution
Where have you been hiding? SUBSCRIBED! Thought about an experiment like this for years and now i get to see it done! SUPER PUMPED !!!
I spend so much time in my bedroom with my door shut that I'm scared to know my bedrooms ppm. This makes me want to open my window.
How big would the box have to be for the plants to actually sustain you indefinitely?
Plants dont need full sunlight to efficiently convert co2 though.
Yeah, midday depression is actually a thing for plants 😢 Who'd have thunk?

Depends on what aspect of their efficiency you talk about, but more light usually means faster chemical reactions.
@@MsSomeonenew When there is too much light, plants stop or slow down their photosynthesis.
Thank you, Tom...This experiment makes me concerned when I see a mother with a baby in a pram with a rain cover on it sealing in carbon monoxide...... Just a thought. I welcome any comments as long as they are knowledgeable people.
Day 32: How I learnt how to photosynthesise
Everyone needs to stop breathing so we have more air to breathe so get to it 👌🏻
Yep the heat is killer. I tried to live in a greenhouse quickly learnt how difficult it is. This was with ventilation as well. Cool experiment.
It worked! You made me think about air quality even more than I already did!
Him: Talks inside the biodome about being afraid of mass amounts of carbon dioxide that could happen
Also him: *Exhales deeply every word*
hey, i know this is a old video and it has a lot of comments on it but i want you to know you have a new subscriber and helped me think about how to lessen my impact on the earth.
You heard the man we all have to stop breathing in order to save the earth
Many plants is good to convert more CO2 to O2 during the day however, more plants = more O2 consumption during the night. Photosynthesis consists of two phases; light dependent and light independent. During the day or should I say, in the presence of light, plants use CO2 and convert it to O2, but during the night or in the absence of the light wavelength needed for light dependent photosynthesis, those plants will actually consume the good delicious O2 you need and convert it to CO2... not in the same ratio but they still do, that’s the light independent phase. Maybe if you use plants with very low CO2 consumption during light independent phase, you would be able to stay/survive longer in that giant sealed « mesocosm ». And if you find a way of consuming the same or maybe a bit less O2 than the total production/input of O2 overall (night and day) you just solved global warming. Great video man, keep it up!
yo i have an anxiety disorder and i was just imagining what would happen if i was locked in here having a panic attack oh god i'd ACTUALLY die sksksks
Also “rain clouds” collect gas particles which increases acidity in rain which is called “acid rain.” And well you know what happens.
Rain goes into bodies of water, decreasing pH levels and more acidity, which kills fish and other living things. Also damages other things.
I never really thought of photosynthesising plants as an oxygen farm-ish
Such a fun experiment. Thank you for taking the time to try this.
You're most welcome :)
Being vegetarian isn't as good for the environment as planting a tree. And I've planted 20 last year so I'm all good.
Planting a tree is good... but its going to take them a Long time to soak up a significant amount of CO2, and we're pumping out a LOT each year. We don't have that time.
I planted over 44 just by using the ecosia search engine, they're a search engine like google but they use their money they make to plant trees instead of... Whatever google does with their money.
@@luongmaihunggia I use duck duck go. They don't get money from my datas
@@Darkknight-yw3hf yeah but they don't plant trees, while ecosia does and that's what we're looking for right?
Planting trees does absorb C02 but eventually, it will end up back in the atmosphere when the tree dies or branches fall. The wood decomposes and rots releasing the C02, to make a truly sustainable way of trapping C02 we need to create self sustaining ecosystems
i opened my windows
This is why I have 50+ houseplants in my bedroom
I want to do this in Minnesota. Half golf ball. It’s be lovely in the winter time.
The temperature is a factor in greenhouses
The humidity was so high in school near the summer
Maybe you should do an underwater biodome, like on Sims 2
This channel is going to blow up
Did he sleep during the night? Because if he did, he could have died in sleep.
Yes he did he had alarms and it would havr woke them up and run of there
The problem of heat is because you are stopping the hotter air from rising with a physical barrier, normally hot air rises and colder air from above comes down but it can't do that.
Thank you for taking time in educating people!
I wonder if you could do some experiment to show how well the plants reduce the CO2. I think it wont be enough even with ideal sun shine. But any amount of reduction would be neat to see.
I have asthma, and a lot of lung problems, when I was younger, I had to be put on breathing machines during the day. I have so many inhalers, that it is kind of ridiculous, my lungs are very weak. And I rely on oxygen, every single day, and knowing that the air that I breath, is polluted just damages my already damaged lungs even more. I wish people were more aware of the toxic things that we are producing, and how it's affecting everything on Earth.
Wait..... Carbon dioxide toxic?! I thought only carbon monoxide is toxic and carbon dioxide doesn't get picked up by the body like nitrogen gas!
I’ve done some maths and my findings suggest that the first gas to reach lethal concentration in the air in your “jar” is carbon monoxide, not carbon dioxide; but of course this is a just a small sample box so its not relevant to the bigger picture, but we still have to be accurate :))
Where is that carbon monoxide coming from in your calculations?? I did have a CO alarm in there, just for the record. Have had CO poisoning in the past and was not about to repeat that experience.
Carbon Monoxide? From our own exhaled breathe thats Carbon Dioxide? It changes at some point? Is that what I think you are saying?
You best believe I am watching this closely and taking notes
the high humidity & the almost totally still air would cause all the plants to cease respiration.
Dear TH-cam. How is this not even a recommended next video for part 1 and how is part 3 my *last* recommendation from this one? Your algorithms suck!
Hey, amazing that its recommending a video to you at all! That seems to never happen :/
That box is too small, should be atleast 5 times as big and have a condensing water drip system and more plants with LED growing lights over them.
This makes me want to get a carbon dioxide monitor but they're all expensive.
If you try again you should a, have more plants, b, use CAM plants, and c, use solar panels and a bettery to power a light at night or cloudy days so the plants are more reliable. Although that would be expensive.
This video makes me think I need a co2 sensor in my tent with 2 dogs, my wife, and me.
i learn more from these videos than actual science class
I am honestly curious what other types of plants would do in an experimant as this. How much would adding a thin accrylic aquarium with algea, in which you dissolved a decent anount of CO2.
Curious about part 3!
Good questions! There are SO many factors and so many difficulties in running an experiment like this. Even if I just didn't talk as much (to make these videos), I would have lasted a lot longer inside... Thanks :)
This is so cool 🔥
Thanks! SCIENCE :D :D :D
This experiment was brilliant, it was quite enjoyable to watch
Thanks so much!
Fortunately, I keep an indoor garden and have a grow light, so I generally don't have to worry about increased C02, I hope.
You are destroying our planet! jk
The air needs to circulate while hot it will cause way more interaction between the trees and the air.
So after this video explains how plants get rid of C02 thus helping the oceans people are deciding to only eat the very thing that helps opposed to eating another animal that outputs C02?
Lol I learned the stuff you said in this video in my biology class
Amazing experiment. Just so amazing.
Use a solar powered battery to time shift some of the plants to an alternate day/night cycle.
Should have brought in some UV bulbs to encourage photosynthesis.
Hey! I love your content. But can you tell me what tool you use to show all of your twitter responses in the video? Thanks.
Watched this in bed and the first thing I did afterwards was open my bedroom window
Thats why, in florida, i ALWAYS sleep with my window open.
After watching this video I now feel guilty everytime I breath
Bigger box with pointed roof
More plants
And before you go in let the oxygen build up?
Would uv lights would be cheating?
I swear when you said that about our rooms it got harder to breathe
What does going vegan have to do with climate change?
Cows = farts = methane = green house gas
@@moonshroom5632 you win youtube
Plantation to give food to your meat = deforastation
This is amazing. I wonder if there is an extensive formula that we can use to determine overpopulation and pollution?
Lets all stop breathing for 10 seconds.........
Ok now the air is a bit fresher😂
You Are Awesome💥Thank you for sharing 🙏
Should replace the plants with a couple tubs full of diatoms and the appropriate nutrients to feed them to accurately represent the earths oxygen output.
This is really interesting actually. Very nice
is there anything else you can do to dilute the co2? or maybe a plant that takes in an extreme amount of co2
Mr Beast... Hold my beer
