Teen invents system to keep germs from spreading on airplanes
The fins redirect the airflow, creating virtual walls of air around each passenger. Each person gets what Wang calls a “personalized ventilation zone” where sneezes are vanquished, pushed out of the cabin before they can spread in a turbulent burst. His invention would improve the availability of fresh air in the cabin by 190 percent, he said, and would reduce the concentration of airborne germs by 55 times. Wang estimates that it would cost $1,000 per airplane and could be installed overnight, making it easy and economical for airlines. Seems like an interesting and cheap solution. Not sure however if airlines are willing to spend money on this, even though it comes to about $4 per passenger only. |

NOTHING cost that little when it comes to airplanes. NOTHING. He is probably off by at least one order of magnitude. |

Useless as it does nothing to combat the guy who sneezed in his hand then touched the lav door, armrest etc. 60 seconds before you did.
