Air pollution and climate change are closely related. The main points of interest are emissions such as sulfur dioxide, ozone (O3), carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and more.

They not only cause global warming but also have significant impacts on human health, especially the air polluted by PM2.5 or some other particle competent of pollution.

In order to solve the air pollution problem coming from outdoors, this project’s exterior design is an idea based on a dandelion that is soft and light.

This filter system consists of multiple cleaning balls, called Pure Bubble. They can detect air quality and clean the pollution source to improve air quality.

Furthermore, every bubble has three layers. The first layer is filled with helium to reduce weight. The hundreds of holes on the surface act as channels for air to enter and exit. The second one has a filtering function adopting TPA patented technology, and can be reused and rewashed. The final one is a recharging motor.

All Pure Bubbles are charged by wind power when they are docked. When polluted air is sucked in and filtered by pure air bubbles, it enters the central layer. The air circulates and blows out clean at a specific outlet, so bubbles can fly in any direction.

Each bubble has a sensor and is self-illuminating for safety reasons. It can be built near a port or anywhere with poor air quality.

In addition to green energy, the entire system also includes the reuse of water systems. For example, it can collect rainwater to clean dirty bubbles eliminating the need for water consumption and cleaning agents. Finally, the mineral elements can be extracted chemically after the pollutants have been deposited.
