17-year-old’s invention will stop spread of germs on planes
Raymond Wang might only be 17 years old, but he’s already building a healthier future for millions of people who will be travelling around the world in the future.
In this video we discover Raymond Wang’s remarkable analysis of how air moves throughout airplanes and helps spread pathogens to other passengers.
But perhaps what’s most remarkable about the video is the solution he’s offered – a deceptively simple, small, fin-shaped device that increase the airflow of fresh air in airplanes, redirecting the pathogen-laden air out of circulation quite effectively.
To see Raymond’s full presentation, watch the video above.
Have you ever been sick from a plane? Or have you ever fallen ill while you’ve been travelling around the world?
