After much thought I came up with a self perpetuating device that can absorb CO2, produce O2, provide shelter from the suns rays and extract water and minerals from deep beneath the soil and then precipitate that water back into the atmosphere, I just cannot think of the right name to market it under, what do you think I should call it?
This is very interesting. The name is the least important, and the comerciality too. However, if you want some help, usually the names of machines (of any kind) come from the name of the processes that they do instead of their functions (the name of non-mecanical devices do come from their functions). I have a few questions about your invention:

1.Can you give a proper engeneeric explanation of how the hypothetical machine would work?

2.Do you have a diagram or visual composition of some sort of it?

3.Has it been theoretically tested? I mean, for example: Have you confirmed that it can do those things all together? Have you calculated (from realistic data) the machine's eficiency? Have you calculated the scales of size at which it will work (the limits of energy amounts, both minimum and maximum)? Have you estimated the machine's production cost and sale cost? etz...

4.Where does the machine's energy come from? Did you mean perpetual in that it supplied itself all the energy it needed ('perpetual machine' actually means that produces the same amount of energy that it uses in a constant proces, not neccesarilly that it uses the energy it produces in a circular process)? If so, have you calculations of the energy produced by the machine, the amount of that energy produced which it uses (and the amount it doesn't use), and the types of energy it produces and which of them are used by itsel and which not, and a plan of how all the energies produced are used up by itself? etz...

5. Do you have any program to produce a prototype of the machine? Or have you contact any kind of investigation centre (public or private) in order for investigations to be done about it?

6. How did you get the idea of the whole machine? It really is amazing (at least as what you've said about it). Have you considered all it's consequences and requierements (for example, if it has plastic parts, plastic to be made requiers petrol... type of thing)?

Thanks for letting us know about it.
