This disclosure relates to a system configured to display current surf information to a user on a device worn by the user, track physical surfing activity of the user across multiple surf sessions, andor alert the user when current surf conditions match previously highly rated surf conditions andor any user selected criteria based on surfweather forecast data. For example, a system may include a carbon capture system configured to collect a carbonous gas from a syngas, and a cooling system having a gas expander and a coolant circuit that receive the carbonous gas. The determination of electrode position may be used to automatically adjust operating parameters of a VRT device. The invention further relates to a system for performing this method.
