Refreshing Bike Ride

The Air-Purifier Bike addresses the problem of air pollution in the city by filtering air and generating oxygen. The design integrates an air filter that screens dust and pollutants from the environment. It also includes a photosynthesis system that uses an embedded water tank that produces oxygen. Other specs include electric motor and a battery.

  • While it is being ridden, air passes through the filter at the front of the bike, where it is cleaned before being released toward cyclist.
  • The bike frame houses the photosynthesis system.
  • When the bike is parked, the air purifying functions can continue under battery power.

Designers: Silawat Virakul, Torsakul Kosaikul & Suvaroj Poosrivongvanid
