A Dust Mask for Dummies - Yanko Design - Maxwell-Mahon Tomentioun1947

Dust is a major culprit of respiratory diseases but many avoid using masks and those that practice tend to throw them away after a unmarried short use. Designer Elias Thaddeus Pfuner's recognized that poor existing design is one of the reasons behind this. Taking action, he has adult the Cyclone Mask 1 as a user-friendly, reusable option that aims to mitigate the problems of existing designs with an innovative two step pre-separation procedure as well as durability, ergonomics, and a absurd striking aesthetic.

The Cyclone Mask 1 utilizes a cyclone separator as a pre filter system. After the pre filter, the air is guided through a fine grit lamella filter. This lamella filter gurantees the same cantankerous department surface while having a smaller size. During inhale a vent closes the bottom function of the cyclone. While exhaling the lesser valve opens as a event of gravity. With the help of the cyclone separation procedure, the durability of the filters is also improved. At the same time, the general size of the filters is reduced due to the fact that the big particles are separated during the cyclone process.

Additionally, an RFID smartphone app system works in tandem with the mask to provide feedback to the user and the relay status of the used filters. The user will know when to change it and exactly how contaminated information technology is, which serves as an additional reminder to always habiliment a mask!
