If this is New York, you'd need to put a baby in that jar to get anyone to do more than glance.
That lousy plant ain't doing shit to clean the air. You need like 100 gallons of algae for 1 adult, what is half a litre of a plant species going to do that also wastes energy on supporting tissue?
40 gal algae per person.
This man hates socialism so much he bought a plant and made that contraption so he can have private oxygen.
ITT people assuming it is for the human. I think this guy loves his plant and wants to ensure it gets an abundant supply of CO2 rich air.
There was actually a guy who did an experiment to find out what you need to be self sufficient with plant-based CO2 recycling. He used large containers of algae with powerful lights and water stirring to stimulate the process and it was barely enough.

So that guy in the picture is faking it big time
I saw a guy in YouTube test it. You need a shit ton of plants to produce enough O2 for one person. I'll find the vid...
When he slept in, I will detatch the pipe from the container and hold it to my butt and fart.
