Israeli researchers say they have invented a rechargeable disinfection mask, which can be connected to mobile phone charging devices to heat and eliminate the new coronavirus. Professor Yair Ein-Eli, head of the research team at the Israel Institute of Technology, said that the entire disinfection process only takes about 30 minutes, but it is strictly forbidden to wear a mask when charging.
What are the features of the rechargeable disinfection masks? Pros:
1. The new rechargeable disinfection mask has a USB interface, which can be connected to a power supply such as a mobile phone charging device.
2. The inner carbon fiber needs to be heated to 70 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes to kill the virus.
3. The mask could be reused for about 20 times according to Ein-Eli who said heated for 20 rounds, the durability of the mask was not affected for half an hour each time.
Cons: Repeated heating may damage the paper or fiber used in the mask, thereby destroying its protective ability.
When and where to buy the rechargeable disinfection masks?
At the end of March, researchers applied for a patent for the newly developed rechargeable disinfection mask in the United States. Currently, they are ongoing with the commercial production with private sector. It is expected that the single selling price of such masks may be one dollar higher than ordinary disposable masks.
