Purify the Air Supply

Has your time spent indoors increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of stay-at-home and shelter-in-place policies worldwide? Your challenge is to use the International Space Station (ISS) as inspiration and develop a system to monitor and/or purify indoor air. It is entirely up to you whether the system you design is able to be used on Earth (for example in homes, businesses, transportation, etc.) and/or in space.

CANOPUS

Summary

The project is developed in the design of a CO2 filter which will be transported in cars, so that in this way it purifies a little of the air it pollutes and can be used directly in the vehicle or to refresh the vehicle itself. In addition, a small device is made to measure the CO2 level inside the car, that is, to measure the quality of the purified air and to visualize these data in a telephone interface, which in turn, when having access to a WiFI network, can charge the parameters obtained from a database.For more details: https://kind-murdock-2cb6df.netlify.app/

How We Addressed This Challenge

The project tries to purify the air to a small extent by project, but if the project were to be applied worldwide, the use of vehicles would not only pollute, but at the same time it would purify the air a little and could become an important factor for the world. The implementation of the technologies is not only for human comfort but also for its well-being.

How We Developed This Project

After long research on development opportunities for the purification of the environment on earth, we recall one of the purposes of the ISS and this is to improve the quality of human life as well as to improve technology as well as the implementation of technology. Used in the helmets of astronauts, it came to be used in something so common for people, that is, the polycarbonate used in lenses. For this reason, we decided to look for a technology that can be used on earth in a common way as it is used in the ISS.

Technological development on earth has come a long way over the years, before a certain technology was a luxury that only a few could obtain, as is the case with automobiles. Automobiles are becoming more common and there are billions of people who use their cars on a daily basis, so a small change in automobiles could make big changes in the world. For this reason, we decided to use an idea of a filter inside cars to purify the air, it is difficult to make people aware of the pollution generated by a vehicle, but if we at least clean a little of what we pollute then we can generate a change.
