AIR is the first in a series of products from MicroClimate™. Development for other applications, including everyday use, education, and healthcare are under way.
All About AIR
AIR by MicroClimate™ utilizes a variety of technologies to creates a clean air environment around the head. Fans are used on both the intake and exhaust. This keeps the pressure inside the device neutral, allowing the seal pressure to be very low. The neck seal has the feel of soft clothing.
Lightweight, durable polycarbonate allows a full view of the face.
The user can wear glasses, makeup, etc. without interference.
The device is supported by the top head, like a hat. This design allows normal head articulation, the head can move independent of the neck, without disturbing the seal.
Lithium Ion batteries and high efficiency brushless motors allow up to 6 hours of use on a charge.
The Technology
There's 9 US Application Patents to protect various aspects of Air.
