Mobility and Air Purifiers

Posted on by

Given the quality of air in urbanscapes, indoors are as bad as outdoors. Air purifiers are no longer a fancy gadget but a device that is essential to keep the breeding of viruses, bacteria, fungi etc. at bay. The Lotus is an air purifier is a different breed simply because it features portable units that you can carry from room to room.

Lotus purifies via the main unit and its three portable air balls. The main unit focuses on general purification, the balls are handy and rechargeable. Ther are classified as Pure Ball, Odor Ball and Humid Ball and are designed to serve a specific purpose.

Pure Ball eliminates biological contaminations and sterilizes; Odor Ball eliminates the bad odors and diffuses perfume; and Humid Ball adjusts the humidity. Each ball has a unique icon on it representing its function, which helps to choose the application. Both Lotus main unit and the air balls can be controlled easily by a smart phone app. The project is a part of the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab competition.

Detroit Electric reveals its SP01 sports EV, revives the dreams of Tesla Roadster fans

Anyone who wanted a Tesla Roadster but showed up too late to the party (or too early) is about to get a second chance as soon as this year, if not quite in the way they expected. The Detroit Electric badge has been restored once more for the SP:01, a high-speed EV that shares Tesla's early use of a Lotus design -- albeit an Exige coupe this time, not an Elise. Its 201HP equivalent motor can also approximate the Roadster Sport's brisk 0-60MPH time of 3.7 seconds. That's roughly where the major similarities stop, however. The SP:01 should have a shorter range (around 180 miles on a European cycle) and will take a longer 4.3 hours to charge up from a 240V source, but it will cater to enthusiasts with a lighter carbon fiber body, a higher 155MPH top speed and even the choice of a manual transmission. Detroit Electric goes so far as to include a clutch, although stick shifters won't have to use it when starting or stopping. Just be ready to pony up in short order if you like the SP:01's notion of electric revivalism: only 999 examples of the $135,000 car will roll off the line after production starts in August.
