2020/7/16 05:00
Gunma University:
We have developed a full-face helmet type mask (photo) as a new coronavirus infection prevention tool.
Precisely control the flow and pressure of air supply and exhaust to shield virus entry and discharge
Working with manufacturers:
Aiming for early commercialization by working to reduce weight and improve wearing comfort.
A helmet made of lightweight resin material,
Sensors and air supply/exhaust pumps,
Equipped with temperature and humidity adjustment device.
Used in combination with the backpack part.
Ventilation mechanism:
Creates air flow through the air supply and exhaust tubes,
Control the positive pressure inside the helmet.
Shields the virus from entering the helmet,
On the other hand, suppression of virus excretion from inside,
If you wear it when you are out, you can shield all viruses.
