When we first began working together, we had to brainstorm a lot. Our wildest idea was a glove which you would wear while petting a cat. The design would collect the static electricity from the fur and store it for later use, such as a charging a cell phone. Our original problem was the immensity of air pollution that cars create. Cars release toxins (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxide) through their exhaust exhaust pipes. After much research, we discovered many progressive designs for filtering carbon, and thus decided to challenge ourselves in new ways.
