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.

Bipolar Ionization and Ultraviolet Light

Summary

The Tupi Ionizer Apparatus will make controlled bipolar ionization, generating small amounts of ozone, which has the ability to act in the air, completely, as a sterilizer without the use of chemical substances, leaving no residues and working in a totally biological way. The Tupi Ionizer Apparatus will be fixed on the wall of the place as a type of air conditioning unit.A complementary and essential function is the use of systems equipped with ultraviolet lamps in order to neutralize or eliminate harmful agents on surfaces. It is an already used, safe and effective means, accompanied by a cooling system to avoid any unnecessary heating, since it eliminates bacteria, spores and viruses.

How We Addressed This Challenge


This system established by us has great effectiveness in the purification of ambient air in closed spaces, for example, kitchens, clinics, laboratories, industrial environments, residences and veterinary clinics.This system established by us has great effectiveness in the purification of ambient air in closed spaces, for example, kitchens, clinics, laboratories, industrial environments, residences and veterinary clinics.


With so much to offer, this system proves to be able to not only solve problems related to isolation, but it can also reassure people who have and will be afraid to return to work, study and frequent indoor environments, as controlled bipolar ionization with UV light it will eliminate harmful agents in closed and crowded environments.


People will be able to go back to work, study in person, the economy will stabilize and the company that supports this project will not only be investing in solving several problems, but will also profit and get more recognition.

How We Developed This Project

We prepared with the mentoring of technicians in the areas of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, a project that aims to solve the issue of air contamination, to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus and also help in cleaning the air inside the spaceships and the Space Station International. Our intention is to be constantly improving ourselves to expand our ideas, in order to better help in technology that provides a better life to people on Earth or to those who work outside it. Enter our website, share it to help Tupinautas to grow in this purpose.
