i agree it's not done and dusted.
But it's less pseudoscience as the "GEET reactor" which seemingly has some similar principles operating in it. However, that was by a few people who didn't have the physics insight/skills to properly analyze what they'd sometimes seen. This "thunderstorm generator" has some proper engineers in various places working at it.
i googled geet vs thunderstorm and actually came across this post. Not really reassuring :/
Flagrant disregard for thermodynamics and conservation of mass in this post. The carbon has to go somewhere, and removing it from flue gasses will always be extremely energy intensive
But converting isn't the same as what you're suggesting
Converting, on a chemical level, always means either combining or breaking apart atoms into or from molecules. To get O2 from CO2 you need to break off the Carbon atom. It will be left over. Where does it go?
