"Everyone romaine calm! I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I haven't botany bubblegum."

I'm assuming there's a light under that top dome cap, and that the box is there to regulate the chamber environment, making this more of a vivarium than a terrarium.

Given that she's using it as an oxygen source, the term vivarium, meaning "place of life", doubly applies.

Her evil name then, should be Vivaria

To make it extra evil, Vivi for short.

(ducks for all the Final Fantasy fans that now want to kill me)

I think this would be where "evil" falls into a grey area.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Wanting to breathe isn't very "evil".

With that upper black hose I suspect she's huffing the oxygen from the cannister.

I go with "the Filteress"

That’s it, I don’t think we’ll find a better one!

I’m not smart enough to know, but that doesn’t seem like it’s enough to actually provide a person all their oxygen.

Any biologists here?

In the average day, a person breathers out 500 litres of co2 in a day. So approximately 20 litres per hour.

There is no way that amount of plants is converting that much co2 back into oxygen,

If this rig is air tight, all this person is doing is slowly poisoning themselves with co2 and lack of oxygen.

For some reason I remember something like 8-12 fully grown oak trees being the minimum to sustain a person. I think it was in a thread about surviving in a bunker or fallout shelter.

Not a biologist though, so you'd better do your own googling

Wouldn't algae be the most efficient at oxygen production? You'd still need about 1000L of water for the algae (assuming a 1L:1g ratio for the algae to thrive), the light source would hopefully be solar or else you're using a lot of energy (good luck bunker people), and you'd have to have some method of feeding and filtering it (maybe its output can be something else's input and vice versa?), but it's a little more doable than 8-12 oaks.

She's just the exo-suit providing mobility to the highly intelligent alien plant being named Pistil Stamen.
