How Long Could MrBeast REALLY Survive Being Buried Alive?

A few months ago, MrBeast tried to survive being buried alive for 50 hours. He had an air system that pumped in fresh oxygen, but it got us curious- how long could someone actually survive being buried underground before running out of oxygen? So we made our own coffin and sealed box to find the answer. What's more dangerous, running out of oxygen, or being poisoned by CO2? If you fill
a box with plants or water, can it replenish your CO2 with oxygen? Let's find out!

Plants release oxygen during the day in the presence of natural light through the process of photosynthesis. While at night, the plants uptake oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which is called respiration.

the problem with plants that at night or darkness, the carbon dioxide to oxygen conversion reverses. and in a coffin, I think, in the darkness, you would have a seriously negative effect.

Just one question I know that there's this thing people say about when you're asleep your oxygen levels drop. Soo... would falling asleep in the coffin help reduce the amount of oxygen you use thus increasing how much longer you can stay inside or would the opposite happen

[@kelrune]

don't plants need sunlight to photosynthesize it maybe a grow light

[@KingNothing22]

?

[@westonding8953]

This is definitely a very useful concept to look into especially when you think about planes, submarines, and spacecraft. They all use sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide scrubbers to remove CO2. Have you thought to look into adding a scrubber and seeing how long it can last?

[@carteranderson2547]

I mis the old project style video

[@jacara1981]

Its because plants only adsorb CO2 and exhale O2 when they are photosynthesizing. Without sunlight (or grow light) and being in the shade they would be taking in O2 and exhaling CO2 increasing the concentration.

[@tiago9977]

I know it's more work, but I kinda wish they included links in their description to all products, tools/equipment, materials, etc that they use in their videos. Obviously, a lot of their videos are experiments/builds that ppl wouldn't be doing at home, but a lot of the things they use probably would be used by viewers so it'd be awesome if they included links to everything like Evan&Katelyn do in their videos - it's just a really nice touch tbh.

[@johnsteinholm7968]

I could be wrong but my recollection from school, which was a long time ago for me, is that plants absorb C02 and release Oxygen while they are photosynthesizing, but at night the process reverses and plants release C02, probably at a slower rate, to stay alive without sunlight.

[@niagargoyle]

That’s very close, but I wouldn’t say that the process reverses; there are two processes (photosynthesis and respiration), and the oxygen/carbon dioxide variance reverses as as photosynthesis slows down and speeds up.
