OXY2050
OXY2050 is an urban air purifier designed to clean polluted city air. Air quality is monitored at monitoring stations at all hours. When the pollution rate becomes risky, OXY2050 is sent to the affected area. The unit floats above the area with a helium filled outer shell and is guided remotely by engineers. Polluted air is drawn in through absorbing turbines. The collected air is treated with chemical solutions such as potassium hydroxide, activated carbon and calcium hydroxide. The purified air is stored and then released through sprayers until air quality becomes moderate.
OXY2050 Poluted air purification by Murat Gedik was selected as an outstanding example of strategy design by the A' Design Award. OXY2050 Poluted air purification received the Iron A' Design Award in Futuristic Design in 2016. The A' Futuristic Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that celebrates excellent design of conceptual architectures, advanced robotics, innovative transportation systems, futuristic fashion designs, progressive furniture pieces, Next-Gen electronic gadgets, revolutionary software interfaces, groundbreaking biotech innovations and more.
