An air purifier or air cleaner is a device which removes contaminants from the air in a room to improve indoor air quality. These devices are commonly marketed as being beneficial to allergy sufferers and asthmatics , and at reducing or eliminating second-hand tobacco smoke .
An example of a homemade unit. The Corsi–Rosenthal Box is a design for a do-it-yourself air purifier that can be built comparatively inexpensively. It consists of four [1] or five [2] [3] HVAC particulate air filters that form a cube and a box fan to draw air through the filters.

The Portable Aqua Unit for Lifesaving (short PAUL) is a portable ultrafiltration-based membrane water filter for humanitarian aid. It allows the decentralized supply of clean water in emergency and disaster situations for about 400 persons per unit per day. The filter is designed to function with neither chemicals nor energy nor trained personnel.
Air ioniser and purifier with its dust collection plates removed. Air ionisers are used in air purifiers to remove particles from air. [3] Airborne particles become charged as they attract charged ions from the ioniser by electrostatic attraction. The particles in turn are then attracted to any nearby earthed (grounded) conductors, either ...
To clean the filter, water is passed quickly upward through the filter, opposite the normal direction (called backflushing or backwashing) to remove embedded or unwanted particles. Prior to this step, compressed air may be blown up through the bottom of the filter to break up the compacted filter media to aid the backwashing process; this is ...
Hippocrates believed that water had to be clean and pure. Rainwater was the best water, but had to be boiled and strained before drinking to get rid of the "bad smell" and to avoid hoarseness of the voice. [3] [4] He designed a crude water filter to “purify” the water he used for his patients. Later known as the “Hippocratic sleeve ...
ionic air purifiers use photoelectric effect to charge dust particles and then use an electric field to remove them?

They use a high voltage electrostatic charge to charge the dust particles.
