Violet

Violet

Violet. A modular air purifier using UVC light, activated carbon and natural respiration to clean the air in Megacities.

Long Description

Violet is a modular air purifier designed to clean the air in megacities. As more and more people move to cities, the spread of disease and poor air quality will become increasingly dangerous. Violet uses UVC light to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria in the air and then activated carbon to scrub out hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene. Finally, the air is passed through a natural filter of living plants, further conditioning the air with water vapour and the natural cleaning power of plants. Violet is designed to be modular, allowing the system to expand to meet different users needs, and future development will bring ‘smart switch on’ and solar powered caps to allow the system to work completely off the grid.
