World's largest air purifier takes on China's smog

1400 watts of electricity. 30,000 cubic meters per hour purified using ionization. Attracts rabbits.

Not only that but the particles it collects (predominantly carbon), it compresses and from that, they produce jewelry to sell:

Have your air pollution cleaned and wear it too.

dorsetknob · Jul 10, 2016

UGLY jewelry only the Borg would appreciate it

FordGT90Concept · Jul 10, 2016

I find that cube...intriguing.

hat · Jul 11, 2016

I love you more than anything in this world... this ring, made of China's densest smog, is the token of my love for you. Will you marry me?

qubit · Jul 11, 2016

Only 1400 watts for that huge thing? One could plug it into a standard UK mains socket lol.

FordGT90Concept · Jul 11, 2016

My thoughts exactly. It'll even work (barely) on NEMA 120v/15amp outlets.

R-T-B · Jul 11, 2016

Maybe they means killowatts?

Caring1 · Jul 11, 2016

It looks like the worlds largest bug zapper.
Does it glow ultra violet at night?

Indeed it can, code states max 1440watts on a standard 15A breaker. Pretty cool. thx op

That was my thought as well, and thought it was some kind of typo
Reading up on purifiers they seem to be very frugal. Smaller ones for home seems to pull about 4-10W.

This, I dig..

They tried to power it from solar panels

big failure to much smog

Need to plug some of those fuckers up in the big us cities before they end up like China...

Ionization doesn't need high wattage, it needs very high voltage. Depends on how they do it, but in general, they usually use metal needles under very high voltage and they create ozone at the tip of the needle. The main wattage is probably the fan pushing air through and I assume they use metal plates to accumulate particles via electrostatic effect.

FordGT90Concept · Jul 11, 2016

Ugh, I tried one of them ozone things and hated it. I hope that isn't what it smells like.

not a mistake.

It runs on just 1,400 watts of power -- no more than a tea kettle.

Almost time to send a few to Mars, so we can invade that planet sooner than later.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Oct 7, 2016

It was supposed to be going on tour but it turns out they are keeping it in Beijing.

It has now gone live. In one day in Beijing it collected as much smog as it did during 2.5 weeks in Rotterdam.

That is cool. I can see these evolving into to towering stacks like skyscrapers.

concretion
kənˈkriːʃ(ə)n/
noun
noun: concretion; plural noun: concretions

a hard solid mass formed by the local accumulation of matter, especially within the body or within a mass of sediment.
"nodular concretions of siderite growing within the sediments"
- the process by which matter forms into a concretion.
Perhaps that's why it could not be moved

No doubt the western world will be buying them from the Chinese before long.

Sooo can those compressed particles be used for something "real"? Insulation?
