Unlike other technologies, Sequesco says it can convert carbon into liquid fuel withoutsunlight, which would avoid the Achilles heel of similar technologies.
They are home to the strangest ecosystems known, in which organisms get by withoutsunlight, using as an alternative source of energy the sulphurous gases spewed from deep inside the earth.
Perhaps the most interesting part of this design is its dual-mode power system, which consists of the standard solar cell array as well as a nuclear power source, allowing the rover to operate continuously and in areas that go long periods withoutsunlight.
