This recognition is reserved for works that demonstrate a solid understanding of design principles and show creativity within their execution. Recipients of the Iron A' Design Award are acknowledged for their practical innovations and contributions to their respective fields, providing solutions that improve quality of life and foster positive change. These designs are a testament to the skill and dedication of their creators, showcasing their ability to address real-world challenges through thoughtful design.
Regarding Oxy2050 Poluted air purification
OXY2050 is an urban air purifier designed to clean polluted city air. Air quality is monitored at monitoring stations at all hours. When the pollution rate becomes risky, OXY2050 is sent to the affected area. The unit floats above the area with a helium filled outer shell and is guided remotely by engineers. Polluted air is drawn in through absorbing turbines. The collected air is treated with chemical solutions such as potassium hydroxide, activated carbon and calcium hydroxide. The purified air is stored and then released through sprayers until air quality becomes moderate.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Controlling by remote controllers, the OXY2050 floats over polluted area with the help of helium filled outer shell.It absorbs the polluted air through absorbing turbines.The absorbed air mass is treated with chemical solutions such as potassium hydroxide, activated carbon,calcium hydroxide.After treatment,the purified air is transfered to purified air storages.The purified air releases through sprayers until the air quality becomes moderate.So the hazardous polluted air of the city becomes purified.
- Inspiration
- The life quality depends on the air quality individuals breathing. In order to enchance the life quality of city residents, the air quaility has to be improved. As a result, OXY2050 was born. The inspiration for OXY2050 comes from diatoms which are tiny, usually single-celled photosynthetic organisms, gaining energy from the sun using chlorophylls.It is estimated that 40% of the earth’s oxygen (02) is produced through the photosynthetic activities of diatoms.
- Research
- Air Pollution is one of the biggest problems of big cities in recent times which occurs when the air contains gases,dust, fumes in harmful amounts such as PM2.5 and O3.With increasing urbanisation and industrialisation,more wastes were started to be released into the atmosphere since then,air pollution rate increased subsequently.Air pollution is a leading environmental threat to the health of urban populations in major cities.
- Challenge
- No obstacles overcomed during the design process
- Realization and Technology
- Inspired by diatoms, the OXY2050 was designed as a urban air cleaner to purify huge amount of polluted street air. OXY2050 receive significant volumes of street air, and safely treat the air with chemical solutions containing potassium hydroxide, activated carbon, calcium hydroxide, and water inside and release the purified air through their sprayers.
- Operation and Interaction
- Air pollution is a leading environmental threat to the health of urban populations in major cities. Breathing in ozone and PM2.5 can trigger asthma, chronic lung and heart diseases and even lead to death. The life quality depends on the air quality individuals breathing. In order to enchance the life quality of residents, the air quaility has to be improved. OXY2050 has been designed with that purpose.
- Project Duration and Location
- It took four months to make researches for the idea.
- Specifications
- Air quality is monitored in monitoring stations 24/7. When air pollution rate becomes risky, OXY2050 is sent to the air polluted area to purify the air. OXY2050’s motions are controlled by the engineers in monitoring stations remotely. Over GPS, it is tracked and floated by remote controller.
