Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I first actually got into this topic Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I heard about \Nthe Ebola outbreak last year. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it turns out that although Ebola\Nspreads through Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these more range-limited,\Nmore tropical routes, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's all these other sorts\Nof diseases Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that can be spread through\Nthe airplane cabin. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The worst part is Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we take a look at some\Nof the numbers, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's pretty scary. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So with H1N1, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there was this guy who decided \Nto go on the plane Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the matter of a single flight, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually spread the disease\Nto 17 other people. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then there was\Nthis other guy with SARS Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who managed to go \Non a 3-hour flight Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and spread the disease\Nto 22 other people. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's not exactly my idea\Nof a great super power. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we take a look at this,\Nwhat we also find is that Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's very difficult to \Npre-screen for these diseases. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when someone actually\Ngoes on a plane, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they could be sick Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they could be in this latency period Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in which they could actually\Nhave the disease. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they could, in turn,\Nspread the disease Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to so many other people\Nin the cabin. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how that actually works is that\Nright now Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have air coming in from\Nthe top of the cabin Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and from the side of the cabin\Nas you can see in the blue. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then also, that air goes out\Nthrought hese very efficient filters Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that eliminate 99.97 percent\Nof pathogens near the outlets. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what happens right now,\Nthough, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that we have this \Nmixing air-flow pattern. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if someone were to actually sneeze, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that air would get swirled\Naround multiple times Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before it even has a chance\Nto go out through the filter. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought, clearly,\Nthis is a pretty serious problem. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't have the money\Nto go out and buy a plane, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I decided to build\Na computer instead. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It actually turns out that with\NComputational Fluid Dynamics, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we're able to do is create\Nthese simulations Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that give us higher resulutions Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than actually physically going in\Nand taking readings in the plane. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how, essentially, this works \Nis Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would start out with\Nthese 2D drawings -- Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these are floating around\Nin technical papers around the Internet. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I take that and I put it into \Nthese 3D-modeling software, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really building that 3D model. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I divide that model\Nthat I just built into these tiny pieces. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I tell the computer where\Nthe air goes in and out of the cabin, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throw in a bunch of physics, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and basically sit there and wait until\Nthe computer calculates the simulation. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what we get with the conventional cabin\Nis this: Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll notice the middle person sneezing, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we go "Splat!", \Nright into people's faces. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's pretty disgusting. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And from the front, you'll notice\Nthose two passengers Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sitting next to the central passenger, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not exactly having a great time. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we take a look\Nat that from the side, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll also notice those pathogens\N Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spreading across the lenth of the cabin. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first thing that I thought was,\N"This is no good." Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I actually conducted \Nmore than 32 different simulations Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ultimately, I came up\Nwith this solution right here. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what I call a\Npatent-pending Global Inlet Director. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With this, we're able to reduce\Npathogen transmission Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by about 55 times Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and increase fresh air- inhalation \Nby about 190 percent. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how this actually works is Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would install this piece\Nof composite material Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into these existing spots\Nthat are already in the plane. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very cost-effective\Nto install Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we can do this directly overnight. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All we have to do is put\Na couple of screws in there Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you're good to go. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the results that we get\Nare absolutely amazing.
