The air comes in the side, and then out through the top.  The large box
expands the air and slows it down.  Heavy stuff falls.  Anything that
isn't heavy enough to fall gets caught by the filter that covers the top.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
