Compact machine turns air into ready-to-use gasoline
New York-based Aircela unveils refrigerator-size device that converts air and water into fossil-free gasoline, with initial deployments planned for 2025.
Is this real, or more snake oil? Making gas out of air.

From very limited research it’s real and its ultimate process is methonal to gasoline which has been around a while. Google the wise suggested it is expensive (more than from bio) and their website suggests they are very aware of that. Seems forward looking is competitive with regular gas but I’m thinking maybe their initial target is like off grid type stuff or very remote areas. Seems a cool thing

It’s not a scam. The technology has been around for years and is proven - BUT - it is not commercially viable because the cost of the energy required to produce the “gas” far exceeds the return.Total BS. There have been all kinds of gimmicks that supposedly increase fuel mileage or do away with the use of ICEs for many years. None of them worked. Its just another scam.

I don’t’ really get the vibe it’s a tree hug thing. Seems target is area’s without access to traditional fuel sources from their mission statement.Plants need carbon dioxide to grow.

Hi,
Sure, the idea has been around for a while, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Then burn the hydrogen with the oxygen to produce energy. The exhaust is water vapor. I seem to recall this is what powered early NASA rockets.
I agree, it will be some time before the technology is commercially viable for the general public.
Thank you for your indulgence,
