Science project help on a smoke absorbing tube.?

Does anyone know the project in which a tube is used and has no filters and uses electricity to absorb smoke through some kind of aluminium foil that lines the interior.

For the record, I do notI once spent ALL night telling my friends to recycle their cans and plastic bottles at a party, only to walk outside and see the attendant dumping the blue bin full of cans into a dumpsterYes, it actually was a garbage dumpster, not a recycling oneI checkedI haven't recycled since.

I have begun to wonder why I recycle news print which is put to use to advertise car sales at car dealerships like Timber BrookI think less material is going direct to the recycling because people wonder why talk of the economy and recession is over shadowing that of Global WarmingJudging from the full containers though I would say at least one hundred for a townEveryone does even if it seems futileToyota cars are still sold as are hybrids.

Below is a link to 2008 official figures from EPAThis may not reflect a number of people, but I can tell you that in my not so progressive neighborhood, almost everybody recyclesThe figure goes down to 25% of the waste, which is well below the national average, because most people do not recycle everything they shouldI also blame the disposable explosion where in recent years packaging has increased tremendously, and carryout containers are used in most restaurantsAs far as my household, we recycle or compost over 90% of our waste for ten years nowWe have also informed ourselves as to what we can reduce, so our recycling and waste bins are relatively emptyWe do not deal with stinky trash and we take trash bags out every couple weeksIt is quite pleasant actually, and this is why we believe that as people learn to reduce and manage their waste, they won't go back to trash production.

I think what you are asking about is called an electrostatic precipitatorYou can buy them at Radio Shack or from The Sharper ImageThere are also large industrial sized versions that work with smoke stacks on large factories to reduce the amount of ash that is dischargedThat will make for a nice science projectPlease be careful, though, because these devices operate at a very high voltage.
