1. A carbon capture system comprising:
an air intake system configured to receive a gas comprising a carbonic substance;
at least one carbon capture chamber fluidly connected to the air intake system, the at least one carbon capture chamber comprising one or more adsorbent materials, the one or more adsorbent materials configured to adsorb the carbonic substance from the gas;
a desorption system, the desorption system comprising:
a heating system configured to apply a heat to the at least one carbon capture chamber and remove the carbonic substance from the one or more adsorbent materials; and
a vacuum system configured to extract the carbonic substance from the at least one carbon capture chamber; and
a compression system configured to compress the carbonic substance, wherein
the desorption system comprises a moisture sensor configured to measure a moisture datum of the at least one carbon capture chamber; and
the carbon capture system comprises a controller configured to:
receive the moisture datum and control an output of the heat as a function of the moisture datum.
 
12. A method of use of a carbon capture system, the method comprising:
receiving a gas comprising a carbonic substance from an air intake system;
capturing the carbonic substance in at least one carbon capture chamber fluidly connected to the air intake system, wherein the at least one carbon capture chamber comprising one or more adsorbent materials, the one or more adsorbent materials configured to adsorb the carbonic substance from the gas;
adsorbing the carbonic substance from the gas using the one or more adsorbent materials within the at least one carbon capture chamber;
extracting the carbonic substance from the at least one carbon capture chamber using a desorption system, the desorption system comprising:
a heating system configured to apply a heat to the at least one carbon capture chamber and remove the carbonic substance from the one or more adsorbent materials; and
a vacuum system configured to extract the carbonic substance from the at least one carbon capture chamber;
compressing the carbonic substance into a carbonic liquid using a compression system;
measuring, using a moisture sensor of the desorption system, a moisture datum of the at least one carbon capture chamber;
receiving, using a controller, the moisture datum; and
controlling, using the controller, an output of the heat as a function of the moisture datum.
