The goal of this freshman design project is the creation of a simple, cost-effective, and impactful air purification system. The project is designed around the photosynthetic ability of algae - which naturally replaces carbon dioxide with oxygen.
The major goal is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere on a large scale. This will be accomplished through the installation of multiple domestic-scale algae tube modules which would remove carbon dioxide from the air in a household. With enough households participating, the air quality of their neighborhood will improve. Some of the major challenges include: creating a cost-effective solution, making a small-enough module for domestic use, and optimizing the variables to make the best design solutions. The intended goal is to make a domestic-scale air purification system able to make an urban-scale difference.
The final deliverable is simply a mockup of the module due to the inaccessibility of some of the desired materials. Some of the components will be prototyped due to the ability to manufacture or purchase specific parts.
