1. An apparatus comprising:
an air pump configured to take in ambient air and discharge it via an air-pump air-outlet port;
the air-pump air-outlet port configured to introduce air into an ambient-air conduit that has a first end and a second end;
the ambient-air-conduit first end being fixedly attached to the air-pump air-outlet port;
the ambient-air-conduit second end configured to directly or indirectly introduce ambient air into a distribution manifold that has a plurality of distribution-manifold air-outlet ports;
at least one metallic ambient-air conduit having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is fixedly attached to and configured to receive ambient air from a distribution-manifold air-outlet port;
the metallic-ambient-air-conduit second end configured to introduce ambient air into an electrified liquid-phase composition having gallium and silver components that reside in a reaction chamber;
the reaction chamber being at least partially submerged in an ultrasonic bath that introduces ultrasonic radiation into the reaction chamber;
the at least one metallic ambient-air conduit further configured to receive and pass an electrical current into the electrified liquid-phase composition having gallium and silver components; and
a conveyor element configured to convey solid-phase carbon-containing reaction products that are received from within the reaction chamber.
