Not sure it really does anything. Cool blue light thing tho. I was really surprised to find out that this purifier really does work. No more smoke oder in my car. Had it before and broke it on accident, glad I bought it again!My car had a smell in it that febreze & other air freshners could not get rid of. This little device has removed the odor. Great car air purifier.

Neutral, no smell, remove bad smell and very very elegant. Can't really say if this product works or not, it was put in a tractor with a bunk, not a car. I am not sure if this area is too large for the item. It looks pretty good but I dont know how the results are as cannot make a difference about the air. I like is very good Cleared up the stale smell in my car and it looks awesome See and discover other items: car accessories air freshener, cool car accessories Welcome all seeking refuge from low carb dogma! “To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact” ~ Charles Darwin (it's evolutionary baybeee!) In comments on my recent post on Negative Ion Therapy, George asked what I thought about the "Forest AC" Air Conditioning System The Forest AC's new-generation plasmacluster ion system generates and supplies plasmacluster ions (through ventilation system) at higher densities than previous systems.

These ions maintain cabin air quality, not only improve reduction of airborne microbes, also minimize adhere [sic] odors on the interior trim surfaces (odor substances are destroyed by OH radicals produced from the ions).pewangi air purifierThis Plasmacluster Technology was developed by Sharp, and is available in home "ionic air purifiers" (that are quite pricey).  best ionic breeze air purifierHere is the graphic for what they claim happensmasalah air purifier "[these ions are] the same positive and negative ions that occur in nature"  ... and from their literature:"Plasmacluster Ions are the same type of airborne ions that occur in nature, and their working mechanism is fully understood. Therefore, their safety is ensured." to be marketing gobbledegook at best, and downright misinformation at worst.  

Yes, ions are natural, but in their action in different environments and concentrations by no means "ensures safety"!!  Consider that both the hydrogen and the sulfate ion are natural, and well characterized, and have some important roles in human metabolism.  But as Wheat Belly will tell you, they're dangerous stuff if it comes as sulfuric acid! When the O-2 ion contacts a microbe or virus it is transformed into the "powerful" hydroxyl radical. This radical then reacts with a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to some molecule in the virus/microbe/spore.  This presumably damages the virus/microbe/spore and forms water. I'm not seeing this, and here's why.  At right are the "electron dot" structures of the various species involved.  A neutral H atom has 1e, a neutral O atom has 6e's.  As I've discussed previously here and here, oxygen can form either ionic or covalent compounds -- it either takes on two e's to become a -2 anion, or it shares it's two unpaired valence electrons with one or two other atoms in covalent bonds.  

In this scenario, we're starting with the oxide anions -- these are very stable entities despite their charge.   It makes more sense from every standpoint for the oxide ion to be electrically attracted to any positively charged particle it comes in contact with to form a "neutral union" ... and they live happily ever after, end of story.  I am at a loss as to why it doesn't just react/combine with one or two H+ ions in the plasmacluster ... they would be more attracted to these oppositely charged particles than neutral entities. But let's presume for the sake of argument that it needs a "docking site" to combine with hydrogen.  Again, they don't say where this H comes from, but it doesn't matter.  An oxide ion with its stable 8e's combining with a H+ ions that contributes no electrons, form a hydroxide ion with 8e's as shown horizontally at right.   (FWIW, this is called a "coordinate covalent" bond where the oxide ion donates both electrons in the bonding pair, but once donated, the pair is shared -- albeit unequally -- by the O and H atoms.)    

It would make no sense for the "transformation" into hydroxyl radicals as claimed (down arrow) to occur.  The hydroxide ion is a stable polyatomic ionic species, in one out of every 10 million molecules of water, a hydroxide goes it alone.  It is stable because the O has its octet of electrons, and enough electron drawing power to sustain the negative charge on the molecule.  For a hydroxyl to be formed, essentially after combining with a hydrogen, the molecule ejects an electron off into outer space??  Not likely because (1) electrons don't just do that except under very extenuating circumstances, and (2) that electron is tightly held by the oxygen atom and it has no reason to want to release it. In the second step they are saying that the radical rips a covalently bonded H atom (with its electron)  from the bug to form water.  This step is feasible, but only if the radical is formed in the first place.  Far more likely the hydroxide "takes on" one more H+ ion to form the neutral water molecule.  

Which is what I believe occurs.  The bottom line here is that the electrons don't add up.  Every oxide ion generated has a surplus of electrons, and 8 in total.  Those electrons are not accounted for in the formation of a hydroxyl radical.  The only possible "sink" for those electrons that supposedly escape the oxide ion as it is transformed, would be the H+ ions, and if the oxide ions didn't combine with those in the first place, its even more unlikely this whole scenario occurs with that spare electron finding a floating proton. What is the source of the two H+'s in the process -- do they come from the H+ generated in the plasmacluster, or are H's ripped from covalent bonds (leaving the electron behind) on a virus/microbe/spore? If the H is ripped from the relatively enormous molecules, does this alter the mechanical integrity of the entity? If the H is ripped from the relatively enormous entities creating a -1 net charge, can that be "cleaned" from the air? Here are my answers to these questions:The H's probably come from the air if there's sufficient concentration of all particles for collision and combining to occur.
