Beijing will start to work-tower air purifier

Smog Free Tower project was developed in the studios of the Dutch designer Dana Rosgarde (Daan Roosegaarde). The air cleaner filters air of particulates with a diameter of 2, 5 and 10 micrometers, which because of their small size, penetrate into blood and lungs and increases the risk of lung cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Tower filter cleans the seven-meter-high 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour, power consumption - 1400 watts. Polluted air enters the top of the tower, saturated with positively charged ions, which attract dust particles. The mixture was then fed to the surface of the negative electrode, and the dust is deposited thereon. The purified air is discharged through the filters in the walls of the tower.






Smog particles disposed quite original way: they are compressed and placed into a plastic shell, and are made of the resulting cubes or rings cuffs. Each cube is obtained from the particles filtered out of 1000 cubic meters of air.



According Rosgarde, the idea of ​​the air came to him during a visit to Beijing in 2014. In 2015, the founders have launched a campaign on Kickstarter kraudfandingovuyu and successfully raised the necessary funds. In September of the same year established a pilot tower in Rotterdam. Later Rosgarde plans to install towers in four cities in China, as well as in Mexico City, Paris and Los Angeles.
