another bizarre- and most likely ineffective- idea came to me this afternoon. i remembered a chem class in high school where the instructor used sulfuric acid to dehydrate sugar. the reaction gave solid graphite carbon, heat, lots of water steam, and acid vapor. i wonder if something like this could be used to trap carbon in solid form, since people cant get past this sequestering idea... the water could be used as coolant and the sulfuric vapors could be collected and reused, and the carbon can be compressed and stacked as blocks, maybe even used in carbon fiber car parts (giving a significant weight/power shift in most small cars).
