New Technology: Ultraviolet Radiation System(s)
Materials Used: It is supported by a dolly with four wheels. It is a tall, skinny object that has air vent openings and a pair of UV-C lamps on each of the four sides. Then,a fan is put on top, so when turned on, it starts air flow through the system to keep the UV-C lamps at regular temperature. Controlled by a remote control using radio/infrared signals as well.
Impact: It is getting rid of the most harmful UV type of all, UV-C, which could effect the world as we know it today. Also, it cleans air to make it fresher, cleaner, and easier to breath in.
Date/Person Who Introduced it: Filing Date: Oct.8,2013 and Publication Date: July 29th, 2014. The person who introduced it to the world was George Jay Lichtblau.
