2020: Representation of an AiryTail mask
On March 27, 2020 Zdrav.Expert became known, the unusual gadget - the put-on "generator of a pure air" AiryTail - was developed by employees of "an incubator of the ideas" of Game Changer Catapult of the Japanese corporation Panasonic.
The smart device capable to purify air from dust and fine harmful particles is focused first of all on owners of the motor scooters and other small vehicles forced to move daily on gas-polluted streets. But not only.
AiryTail is executed in the form of the futuristic mask armor closing the lower half of the face and a neck of the person. The two-level filter which is built in it effectively takes pollution from the running air flow, including, PM2.5 particle, flower pollen, dust and small garbage.
The system of a double air flow separates a cleaned air so that a part it comes to a mask, providing normal breath of its carrier. Other part, without adjoining to the person and a neck of the person, freely is thrown out surrounding space, leaving a net loop for the driver.
Fabric of which the mask is executed for 99% protects the face from solar radiation and also pushes away water. In hot season, the cleaned air pleasantly cools a neck and a chin of the person.
It is important that owners of masks help not only themselves, but to a great number of other people who accidentally appeared or constantly live near highways. Engineers of Panasonic counted that, moving with a speed of 30 km/h, one driver within an hour will be able to filter about 14000 liters of air – who on average will drop down for breath up to 30 people within the same hour. Respectively, the more people will use AiryTail masks, the positive effect on the environment will become more noticeable, developers are sure.
Trace performance of masks very easily. Each AiryTail will be able to be connected to a special application and automatically to send a log about time of the work and volumes of a cleaned air. The application will also control a mask charge, degree of impurity of filters and to signal about need of their replacement. Besides, masks will be able to obmenitsya by information on quality air in different parts of the city – for example, about quantity of PM2.5 of particles. Results are visualized on the card in the smartphone.
Developers provided also possibilities of monetization of AiryTail. The owners registered in the rewards program will be able to accumulate points for a cleaned air and to exchange them for remunerations – for example, for filters for masks and other products of the partner companies.
Participants of Game Changer Catapult hope that the concept will interest not only men's, but also female audience – different coloring of masks are provided in a model range: gray, blue, green and pearl-pink.
