    Abstract: A device for passive collection of atmospheric carbon dioxide is disclosed. The device includes a release chamber having an opening and a sorbent regeneration system. The device also includes a capture structure coupled to the release chamber, having at least one collapsible support and a plurality of tiles spaced along the collapsible support. Each tile has a sorbent material. The capture structure is movable between a collection configuration and a release configuration. The collection configuration includes the capture structure extending upward from the release chamber to expose the capture structure to an airflow and allow the sorbent material to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide. The release configuration includes the collapsible support being collapsed and the plurality of tiles being sufficiently enclosed inside the release chamber that the sorbent regeneration system may operate on the plurality of tiles to release captured carbon dioxide from the sorbent material and form an enriched gas.

    Abstract: A passive CO2 collection device is disclosed, including a release chamber and a capture structure having at least three straps and a plurality of sorbent disks coupled to and spaced along the straps. The capture structure is movable between collection and release configurations. Each strap has a primary and secondary width, the secondary width smaller than the primary. The collection configuration includes the disks suspended from a movable portion by the straps such that, for each pair of neighboring disks and for each strap, a lower disk is separated from an upper disk by a connecting segment, allowing the sorbent to capture carbon dioxide from an airflow. The release configuration includes the disks being stacked within the chamber for regeneration. Each connecting segment is in a release topology designed to accommodate stacking the disks within the chamber. The connecting segment is biased to move toward the release topology.
