Destroying Airborne Viruses with Airborne Soap Bubbles

[Category : - HEALTH]
[Viewed 882 times]

This innovation decontaminates air of lipid-coated viruses (such as COVID-19) by deploying soap (detergent) bubbles into contaminated air, for instance, via readily available bubble machines. With their surface lipophilic tentacles, airborne soap bubbles can capture and destroy airborne lipid-coated viruses in much the same way as soap destroys skin-borne viruses during handwashing. Bubble machines may be adapted to activate or cease in response to a detected passer-by in a variety of indoor environments, such as supermarkets. The visual impact of bubbles may also provide reassurance of air cleanliness. A bonus effect is that exposed surfaces receive an antiviral coating from detergent molecules of popped bubbles falling thereupon.

This solution provides a novel, cheap, and market-ready means of destroying airborne viruses in public places, such as supermarkets, whilst providing visible reassurance of air cleanliness to the public. Therefore, this innovation affords public health benefits and, by visually neutralising public fears in situ, economic benefits.

Supermarkets and or any indoor public places (e.g. hospitals), where airborne virus contagion may be a problem, are potential licensees of this air decontamination technology. Detergent manufacturers and sellers, bubble machine manufacturers and sellers, seeking to promote the air decontamination benefits of their products would also be potential profitable licensees. Moreover, bubble machine manufacturers / suppliers who adapt their bubble machines to switch on and off in response to detected movement, so that the machines decontaminate air recently contaminated by a passer-by, would also represent a business opportunity.
