Smog Free Tower
A smog vacuum cleaner that purifies the air in cities.
The Smog Free Project is a seven-meter-tall smog vacuum cleaner that purifies 30,000 square meters of air per hour while running on green energy—it uses less electricity than a water boiler. Visitors can purchase jewelry made of collected smog particles, which are compressed into rings and cuff links.
