Hi Gradians,

Hope everyone is fit and healthy and staying at home.

As the whole world is fighting against the pandemic for the first time in centuries, many inventions are taking place to combat the degrading situation of this world crisis. An eleventh standard student has come across a "Air Providing and Virus Destroying Mask"that has now been shortlised by National Innovation Foundation for a competition.

 

A Bengali student has developed a mask that will reduce the drastic effects of the pandemic. After severe testing, the Ministry of Science and Technology has forwaded this conecpt to higher authorities to fight the pandemic in an efficient way.

Working Procedure of Mask:

The mask is comprised of two parts: 

  1. The first part has two one-way valves.
  2. The second part has two reservoir containers.

During the process of inhalation, dust and other harmful particles gets combined with water particles and the lipids (outer membrane) of the virus are destroyed. During exhalation, the air exit through one-way valve and enters into reservoir channelin which the lipid proteins of the broken virus is broken down to destroy it.

Even if a positive patient will wear this mask, then the droplets exhaled will not contain any virus so it makes it very beneficial in the other way too.

This student is very much interested in science and obsessed with many other discoveries in the early age itself and even holds a patent. As she was terrified that a normal mask won't help to destroy these harmful microbes of the virus, so she decided to develop something effective.

Such terrific discoveries in these kind of situations can lead to empower science and help the mankind to evolve in a better way.
