Rocket Design Leads to Turbo-Charged Air Purifier
A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.
About this technology
Overview
The founders of Wynd didn’t particularly have space exploration on the brain when they built their personal air purifiers. But experience calibrating sensors for launch pads at Kennedy Space Center and designing turbines for rockets at Marshall Space Flight Center proved crucial when designing the smart, portable device. Now the Redwood City, California-based company sells a device that is extremely powerful and efficient, but lightweight and small, and which comes with an instant air quality sensor.
