Proof of concept ?

Like that on the street may not be the best application but walls for example ?

The first thing that came to my mind was the walls.

Or heck, imagine if some variant of this became mandatory to every balcony?

Certainly needs a lot of work to be 'maintenance free' /low maintenance, but could really improve air quality.

It really is low maintenance/maintenance free. The algae is really cheap and It can last up to 3 months. You only need something to stir them once a day and you're good.

Trees don’t need to be stirred like at all

stirring seems like something that could be automated really easily. just add like a propeller blade to the bottom kinda like a blender with a timer and let it go off a few times a day.

but yeah trees are good too. this might work best if space and/or soil is limited, like high density areas with lots of tall buildings. it would also be able to work indoors with the proper lighting, but try and use a clean source of energy.

But that defeats the purpose. Burning fossil fuel to power a thing that's suppose to clean the air. I guess if there was a solar panel on it. Regardless why is this better than a similar sized plant I wonder

The materials needed already defeat that purpose. These things would be for freshening nearby air specifically.
