ATMOSPHERE FILTER MECHANISM

This project focuses on creating an automatic filter mechanism to improve indoor air quality by reducing smoke levels. The system uses a DC motor attached to a toy fan, which functions as an exhaust fan. When the smoke level in the room increases beyond a certain threshold, the fan activates to expel the smoke and improve air quality. This basic STEM project combines elements of electronics and environmental science.

Atmosphere Filter Mechanism project provides a Innovative solution to improve indoor air quality by reducing smoke levels. The manual control allows users to activate the system when needed, making it simple yet effective. The incorporation of a filter enhances the system’s efficiency by capturing smoke particles, thus promoting a healthier indoor environment. Using the Mechatron kit for assembling the mechanical structures ensures a robust and well-supported design. This project serves as an excellent introduction to basic electronics and practical applications in environmental improvement.


Components Required:

  1. DC Motors x3
  2. Toy Fans x3
  3. 9V Battery x1
  4. Switch x1
  5. Filter
  6. Connecting wires

Components Description:

  1. DC Motors: To drive the toy fans that act as exhaust fans.
  2. Toy Fans: Attached to the DC motors to move air and expel smoke.
  3. 9V Battery: To power the DC motors.
  4. Switch: To manually control the operation of the fans.
  5. Filter: To capture smoke particles and improve air quality.
  6. Connecting Wires: For setting up the circuit.

Circuit Connection:

Connecting the DC Motors to the Fans:

Attach each toy fan to the shaft of a DC motor securely. Ensure the fans are balanced to avoid excessive vibration.

Wiring the DC Motors:

  1. Connect the negative terminal of each DC motor to one side of the switch.
  2. Connect the positive terminal of each DC motor to the positive terminal of the 9V battery.
  3. Connect the other side of the switch to the negative terminal of the 9V battery. This way, when the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed, and the motors receive power.

Incorporating the Filter:

  1. Position the filter in front of the fans so that air passes through it before being expelled. This filter will capture smoke particles, ensuring cleaner air is blown out.
