First rule of getting out of a hole - stop digging.
They wouldn’t need to pull the gunk out of the air if it wasn’t put there in the first place.
This might work for particulates, but I doubt it would do anything for other types of air pollution like ozone. It kind of reminds me of the old idea in Southern California of digging tunnels in the mountains and building giant fans to blow the smog out over the Pacific Ocean.
Life is just ducky in commie China. Harpy should put on her Mao suit and tell us how wunnnerful it will be.
But it’s very probably powered by COAL.
So, he’s actually ADDING smog to the area.
***“By charging the Smog Free Tower with a small positive current, an electrode will send positive ions into the air. These ions will attach themselves to fine dust particles.”***
Just like a precipitator in a power plant removes fly ash. Wonder how they will collect and dispose of the smog particles.
China probably won’t go for it. The bosses there figure they already have over a billion self-powered, self-repairing (to a certain degree) mobile smog filters in operation all over the country.
