mega air purifier
Summary
¿What are mega purifiers?An oxygen mega purifier is a tool designed to clean the air in the area on a large scale. Basically, mega purifiers are responsible for removing toxins in the air. These include CO2 particles, methane gas and other harmful toxins for humans that also contribute to global warming.¿How do mega air purifiers work?As mentioned before, mega-purifiers are responsible for cleaning the air by eliminating particles that are harmful to life on the planet. One of these decontamination devices can deliver purified oxygen to approximately fifty thousand people in a large area of up to 40 square meters.
How We Addressed This Challenge
What did you develop?
A mega purifier will be developed that consists of purifying the air in the world but it would take place in extrathetic points of greater contamination
Why is it important?
mega air purifiers are important because it was found that surrounding air monitors recorded a 19% decrease in concentrations of harmful substances in one city in china compared to monitors in other parts of the city, this means that If they build in each city more affected by air pollution, it is possible to reduce global pollution.
What does it do?
A purifier cleans the air through filter systems that retain the particles to be removed in suspension. A dehumidifier removes the water present in the air in the form of vapor, which returns it without the initial humidity. this on a world scale would lower air pollution
how do they work?
These giant fans feature a functional structure of different types of filters. They basically consist of fans that suck in polluted air and blow it towards the filters. In general, the first filter is electrostatic, and its function is to trap those particles that are most harmful to health, this is possible thanks to its ionized system. The second filter is of the G4 models, and it works as a dust trap, absorbing pollen, polluting gases and even mites.
What do you hope to achieve?
in order to help reduce the environmental pollution of the planet and thus avoid other types of natural disasters
How We Developed This Project
What inspired your team to choose this challenge?
This project was developed with existing technology such as home air purifiers, which allows us to study on a smaller scale the quality of the air in the residence place of work ect
What was your approach to developing this project?
This world project has the objective of solving a world problem that today is not affecting more than ever with global warming mainly, but the actions necessary to materialize it generate costs and benefits over a certain period that must be estimated with the highest possible rigor.
It also consists of comparing its possible advantages and disadvantages, and on this basis determine whether its implementation is convenient for the directly beneficiary population and for society as a whole.
What tools, coding languages, hardware, software did you use to develop your project?
Calliope is an existing application from Spain. This app offers us forecasts 48 hours in advance, informing us of the air condition throughout Europe. It is a new system that tries to predict, according to the data collected and the state of the weather, the situation we are going to face, an interesting option for municipalities to apply measures seeing what we are facing.
This application linked to the problem that we seek to solve gives us the opportunity to know the critical places of contamination of the cities of the world
What problems and achievements did your team have?
The problems of these mega purifiers are the cost of construction and is that their consumption in rooms with large volumes of air can skyrocket, adding to the global energy consumption of other electrical appliances and generating the logical environmental concern. There is also the issue of filters, which must be changed almost monthly and therefore generate captive consumption, in addition to creating an environmental residue that can grow over time.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The experiment will measure the import and export of ozone and associated polluting gases, aerosols, and durable greenhouse gases. Scientists will make sensitive measurements of these pollutants using airplanes, satellites, balloons, and ground networks. They will also use sophisticated models to analyze data to come up with a picture of pollutant transport, its transformation, and the impact on air quality and climate.
NASA's DC-8 high-range aircraft is an airborne laboratory equipped with a suite of highly sensitive instruments. Aircraft from the other agencies will fly over North America and the Atlantic to collect data. NASA satellites will provide a large-scale context for aerial observations. Carbon monoxide measurements made by the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument aboard NASA's "Terra" satellite and the Infrared Atmospheric Resonator (AIRS) aboard the "Aqua" satellite by the combustion of fossil fuel and biomass.
