<h1>Using Electricity and Air as a Disinfectant</h1>
<p><strong>What is PlasMachine?</strong><br>
We create a sustainable, frugal, and portable disinfectant using electricity and air. The technology behind Plasmachine, ambient-gas plasma, recombines the nitrogen and oxygen in air into other molecules, which are toxic to bacteria and other microorganisms. Plasmachine is an ideal disinfection strategy for low-resource settings, including developing-world clinics and emergency situations, because it creates a convenient, on-demand disinfectant without relying on exotic materials or complex supply chains.</p>
<p><strong>Our Commitment: </strong>PlasMachine is committed to developing a low-cost, portable device suitable for disinfecting drinking water and surfaces. A prototype device is being developed to run off a sustainable energy source such as solar power; once the prototype device has been developed and tested for effectiveness, the eventual goal will be to improve the device design toward affordable use in the developing world.</p>
<p> In a laboratory setting, it is easy to obtain high levels of disinfection with plasma devices, and we hope to utilize this technology within our prototype for use in the developing world. Although there are many variations of plasma devices that can be built, our first device will be a medical instrument sterilization device.</p>
<p>To best suit low-resource settings, our prototype will be built out of cheap, robust materials that can be replaced locally. The device can operate in two distinct modes that add variety to the device's capabilities. Perhaps the greatest benefit of plasma technology is that it only requires two inputs, electricity and air. Remote locations no longer have to depend on shipments of supplies (e.g. antiseptics). This makes communities independent and empowers the women and men living in them.</p>
