The magic bit:

The home air purifier design, currently in the prototype stage, features two cylindrical columns of the FOAM3R material. During operation, one column is used to purify the air, while the other ‘regenerates’ for reuse through heating, restoring the foam’s sorbent properties.

The process also removes collected pollutants and dead microbial debris captured in the air through heating, and recovers volatile components through cooling and condensation, which are collected as a liquid that is safe to pour away.

FOAM3R is created in a simple one-step manufacturing process and can be shaped into a variety of form factors. It can also be retro-fitted into existing technology and is more energy efficient than comparable carbon-granule based air purification systems.

Seems like an interesting filter process. Cheap to produce but a bit more expensive to operate than traditional air purification. Wonder if we’ll see heaters with this tech.

“seeking partners” = It will never reach market.

Tried to submit this weekend, but it wasn’t techy enough so said the mod.

FOAM3R can be used to produce multi-functional foam structures for a wide range of applications, including aircraft cabins, in-car air filters …

Auto shops hate this one simple trick

to be powered by the megawatt hour battery that charges in 30 seconds.

You know if you get a 20x20" air filter, the cardboard frame type that are inserted into AC units, and you tape it to a square room fan, it will work far far better than any available air purifier. After tons of research into which purifiers work best to combat asthma, I ended up with room fans and 20x20 AC filters. The filters have different ratings, if they filter too well then air won’t pass through, so you want the next best rating.
