Posted on by

Ever been bogged by the cigarette or food odors that your clothes pick from the bar? A quick change or shower is quite cumbersome, which is why the funky Electrolux OZ-1is a good solution. The OZ-1 is a portable air purifier and stress reliever all integrated in a fashion piece. It sits neatly under the color of your shirt or can be flaunted like jewelry. The main purpose of the device is to purify the air that you breathe and at the same time distress via aroma therapy.

  • OZ-1 is integrated with refined technology of ozone generator and HEPA filter.
  • The device can release a significant amount of (0.1-0.3 ppm) oxidant to neutralize harmful gases in the air while the integrated HEPA filter on the left help to trap dust and particles.
  • It also s a secondary function of being a cigarette smoke remover and is able to trap the smell of tar and chemical produced from burning cigarette.
  • The integrated smoke sensor will detect smoke and activates the device to trap and neutralize the unpleasant odor before it is bonds with your clothing.

OZ-1 is a 2013 Electrolux Design Lab finalist entry.

Ohita Fresh Air Module Concept Would Generate Clean Air on Demand

Posted on by

Fresh air has become more scarce with the continued, rapid urbanization in many countries, particularly China. Recent issues with smog and germs have even forced residents to wear masks for their protection.

The first wearable air purifier concept we encountered was the Hand Tree, which was basically a bracelet that purified air for its wearer. The Ohita Fresh Air modules are somewhat similar, since they’re wearable, too, although not around your wrist or directly on your person, for that matter.

Fresh Air Module

The Ohita could be attached to bag straps or belts instead, where it will purify air so you can breathe fresher, cleaner air as you go along. Its modular kinetic sculpture design also makes it perfect for displaying and installing in your home, where it will provide the same function and clean up the air in your home.

The Ohita was designed by Jorge Alberto Treviño Blanco and is a semi-finalist for the 2013 Electrolux Design Lab. Like with the Hand Tree, it’s not clear how feasible the design would be to implement, but it’s an interesting concept nonetheless.

Hand Tree is an Air Purifier That You Can Wear

Posted on by

Smog, haze, smoke, exhaust… The atmosphere is full of pollutants these days. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about it. You could go out and face the world wearing a mask, or you could just slip the Hand Tree around your wrist the next time you take a stroll – assuming it existed.

Wearable Filter

The Hand Tree is a concept design by Alexandr Kostin that marries wearable technology with a relatively common appliance, the air purifier. The bracelet is essentially a wearable air purifier that filters air on the go, surrounding its wearer with fresh air that’s minus all the unpleasant smells and particulates normally found in city air.

It’s a neat concept but I think the task of shrinking a normally bulky air purifier down to wrist size would be very, very challenging.

Wearable Clean Air

Posted on by

Marrying the concept of wearable technology with appliances is a new arena that designers are delving into. Imagine wearing a device or appliance that dispels purified air that is aromatic and the fragrance customizable. Say hello to the Hand Tree, a personal air purifier concept that cleans and filters the air around the wearer.

Working on the principle of plants, Hand Tree absorbs the dirty air and emits purified one, thus creating its own atmosphere around a person. It surrounds a person with perfume of their choice.

Hand Tree is an Electrolux Design Lab 2013 semi-finalist project.

Tyent Touchscreen Water Ionizer & Purifier: High-Tech Clean Water

Posted on by

Water purification is a booming business, especially in Asia where not all water coming out of the faucet is directly drinkable. The Tyent Water Ionizer and Purifier is the fancy touchscreen version, for those of you who want to insert a bit of technology into the filtering process.

The Under Counter Extreme 9000T Water Ionizer has a touchscreen to control the system for water purification. There are two distinct spouts and a turbo function. The pH of the water can be set as low as 2.0 for cleaning and sterilization processes and as high as 12.0 for drinking, cooking, and washing up. The ionizer can even be controlled by voice. Its guts use a double filter, the first one is made out of carbon and the second is made out of three different kinds of ceramics to balance the mineral content of the water.

This particular ionizer sells for $2,795(USD) directly from Tyent, so it probably won’t be finding its way into 3rd-world countries where water purification is a critical need.

Virgin Pure water purifiers launch offensive against tap and bottled water in the UK

Virgin Pure water purifiers launch offensive against tap and bottled water in the UK

English entrepreneur and chairman of The Virgin Group Sir Richard Branson thinks that your tap water is dirty. So much so, in fact, that he's partnered up with Strauss Water to get one of his new purifiers into your home and onto your countertop. The colorful Virgin Pure T6 (£299, $466) can dispense 1.3 liters of chilled H2O per minute, or 1.4 liters of hot water that's stored internally. The T7 (£379, or $591) delivers a bit more swagger to your crib with its minimalist, tapered design that offers 50 percent faster cold water flow. It even gets a small power bump to heat your hot water more quickly than its less-expensive sibling. It all sounds well and good, but we'll really be impressed when Virgin crams one of these into its seatbacks in first class.

Gates Foundation collaborates with Manchester University to develop potable toilet water

Gates Foundation collaborates with Manchester University to develop potable toilet water
It's an unsettling thought, having to drink water from that bowl in your bathroom, but if the need ever arose, wouldn't you be glad to know it was clean and safe? Dr. Sarah Haigh, a researcher into the properties of nanomaterials at Manchester University, is currently pursuing this goal with a $100,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. With the help of nanomaterials and bacteria, Haigh believes that hydrogen can be easily extracted from not only the water, but human waste itself, which could then be processed into clean water. Should the system work effectively, Haigh stands to receive an additional $1,000,000 grant to further her research and develop inexpensive purification systems for use in nations without modern infrastructure. And you thought nothing worthwhile would come from purchasing Microsoft Office.
