The medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy whose aims were the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for diseases, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life.

Alchemy is a transmutation of a seemingly miraculous change of something of little worth into something better. During meditation, I imagined turning dark polluted clouds into white clean ones. I decided to invent a contraption that would clean both my inner and outer environment in an attempt to cure both a sick body and planet.
