Well a machine like the one on the right could actually be made. It’s super oversimplified, but the principle can be done. However it would require a massive amount of energy. And the tricky bit becomes how to get that energy without releasing a lot of CO2. With nuclear it is possible.
runs away before nuclear bad crowd shows up
Also note it would be way better and simpler to instead reduce energy usage, so the CO2 doesn’t get released in the first place. And use low CO2 sources when energy is required. However in the long run carbon capture would be a good idea. But as long as we can make gains on the usage and release side it makes no sense. And except for proper research projects, most of those capture things have been investor scams.

Nuclear ftw.
