Dynamics have unveiled a new machine that kills coronavirus.
New machine kills coronavirus
The new device managed an inactivation of 99.99907 percent and works by suctioning germs towards the device, before using a high-intensity ultraviolet light to blast the virus and kill it.
Elias Towe, a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, said: "Dynamics has created one of the first viable tools for inactivating the COVID-19 virus. The performance of the device, as measured at major US laboratories, is impressive. What is remarkable is that Dynamics modified some of their unique know-how in flexible microelectronic techniques and merged these with emerging UV-C light technologies to produce intensities sufficient to inactivate the virus."
Jeff Mullen, Dynamics founder and CEO, added: "When we started on this journey, people didn't even believe UV-C would inactivate the COVID-19 virus as it had never been done before. We had to perform numerous experiments with top US labs with the COVID-19 virus to find the best operating methodologies to inactivate the virus for different types of applications. And, even after we inactivated the COVID-19 virus, experts didn't believe the amount and type of UV radiation needed for fast air applications was even plausible."
