Abstract
An ionic personal exhalant air filter comprising, generally, a mouthpiece, a tube and high voltage electrodes configured thereto, is disclosed. Notably, the construction creates fluid dynamic properties needed to allow ionization and collection to take place. The unit is small and easily fits in a user's hand. In a preferred embodiment, the negative collector plate is realized with a ring structure having veins at an interior thereof; and the positive collector plate comprises a copper sheet rolled to a coil increasing surface area of electrodes while providing a compact unit.
Claims18
A personal air filter for filtering smoke or vapor exhale comprising:
- a hollow chamber portion;
- a mouthpiece in fluid communication with the hollow chamber portion for receiving user exhale introduced thereto;
- an impact flow diverter piece for redirecting and circulating air flow configured in between the mouthpiece at an upper area hollow chamber portion
- a negative electrode configured at the upper area of the hollow chamber portion downstream of the mouthpiece and the impact flow diverter piece, the negative electrode providing an electrical potential creating a plurality of ionized smoke or vapor particles;
- and
- a positive collector plate at a lower portion of the hollow chamber portion for collecting the ionized smoke particles;
- and
- a battery providing the electrical potential between the negative electrode and the positive electrode.
A personal air filter for filtering smoke or vapor exhale comprising:
- a tube;
- a mouthpiece in fluid communication with the tube for receiving user exhale introduced thereto;
- an impact flow diverter piece for redirecting and circulating air flow configured in between the mouthpiece and the tube;
- a negative electrode configured to the tube downstream of the mouthpiece and the impact flow diverter piece, the negative electrode providing electrical potential creating a plurality of ionized smoke particles;
- and
- a positive collector plate at a lower portion of the tube for collecting the ionized smoke particles;
- a battery delivering a voltage to the personal air filter and the negative electrode;
- and
- a step-up high voltage generator for increasing the voltage to the negative electrode.
A personal air filter for filtering smoke or vapor exhale comprising:
- an inner chassis having an interior, the interior containing a filter medium;
- a hollow chamber portion extending downwardly into an opening in the inner chassis;
- a mouthpiece in fluid communication with the hollow chamber portion for receiving user exhale introduced thereto;
- and
- an outer enclosure configured at least partially over the inner chassis and at least partially encasing the hollow chamber portion.
