HEROES | Purify the Air Supply

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.

Solar air purification

Summary

we chose Purify the Air Supply challenge, researched on filters of air and found COWAY AP-1512HH which consists of 4 Stage Filtration System (Pre-filter, Deodorization filter, True HEPA filter, Vital Ion) captures and reduces up to 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns, including pollen, pollutants and other allergens . Coway’s pollution sensor communicates indoor air quality in real-time. The colored LED lets you know how clean or dirty your indoor air is every minute of the day & the timer: lets yo

How I Addressed This Challenge

Corona, like what you know, is causing a lot of diseases on a respiratory system, including shortness of breath, allergies, and coughing, which are all symptoms. We try to purify the air because the symptoms are less than corona, and the patient can take the vaccine that appears, or any new medication that will diminish.

How I Developed This Project

We will use the solar panel on the network from which the air enters the interior so that its width is the same as the width of this grid in order to help purify the air more before entering the network, which will affect the purity of the air coming out of this network in addition to the carbon filter that is changed every year will lead to the solar Panel to change it every longer period
