- A ‘Biin -Pyred Super Adhesive filter’ has been tested by Korean scientists
- Use the oil, imitating ‘nostril coated with mucus’ for a better dust filtering
- Its PC could be much more free of dust in the future as a result, if this is ever specified with the case filters of mesh
The dust filters that aim to prevent particles from entering their PC or laptop desktop could make a great leap in the future, thanks to an invention that is modeled after the human nose.
The ‘Super BioinspiRado Super Filter has been tested by Korean researchers, and is essentially a mesh coated with oil that stops dust more effectively or other infiltrating particles, on its tracks.
An article in Nature magazine, written by scientists from the University of Chung-AG in South Korea (as highlighted by Tom Hardware), explains that the invention is “inspired by the natural filtration supplies of the nostrils coated with mucus”, which does not evoke the most pleasant images.
The reality is that it is a ‘biomimetic filter’ with a thin liquid coating, and as with nostrils, that liquid helps catch invading particles more effectively, while adhere to it. Or as the role says: “When PM [particulate matter] Find the mucus, a form of meniscus, which generates a strong adhesion by capillarity. “
The result of this oil -based filter imitation should be a dust -free computer. And although researchers are mainly directed to the tastes of domestic or industrial air filtration systems, technology could be applied to anything where a dust filter is needed, including the humble PC.
Filters use a “thin and uniform silicone oil” layer that is sprayed, and capture significantly more particles than traditional efforts, and are effective for 2-3x more time, they tell us.
To extend its usable useful life, filters can be washed, drying and re -applying the oil simply sprinkling (with a non -toxic oil obviously using).
ANALYSIS: Maybe Moccos
Should we prepare for the Mucus 5N0T Master PC box? Well, maybe not, but this innovation could have serious benefits for the world of computers.
A balance is required with the typical desktop PC or laptop chassis, since many vents need to maintain the components inside. However, a lot of space for the air to move to cool means much more dust that potentially enters the PC.
Traditional meshes try to capture that dust, but do not always do a good job. Of course, they help, but if you look inside your PC (through the glass window on one side, if you have one), you can notice that it is quite dusty there.
After a few years, the dust can accumulate in a considerable amount, particularly around the CPU fan and probably also the graphics card, if it does not clean inside its PC box. And let’s be honest, most of us are too good to postpone when it comes to that type of PC cleaning (I know I am).
The new filters that depend on the oil could be a true blessing in terms of maintaining its much more dust free PC throughout its useful life, perhaps eliminating the need for any cleaning in one day, or at least making this task a much more infrequent task.
If all this talk has inspired him to clean his PC, do it very carefully (using a can of compressed air) and be sure to look at some good advice on how to carry out this correctly (without damaging fans). That is especially the case with laptops, and I would not recommend trying to open a notebook case, to clean the interior, any person other than technology expert readers.
