Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.76,0:00:07.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have been on a plane\Nin this past year?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.50,0:00:09.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's pretty good.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.63,0:00:12.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it turns out that\Nyou share that experience
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.51,0:00:15.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with more than 3 billion people\Nevery year.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.44,0:00:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we put so many\Npeople in all these metal tubes
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.57,0:00:20.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that fly all over the world,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.15,0:00:22.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sometimes, things like this\Ncan happen
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.87,0:00:25.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you get a disease epidemic.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.35,0:00:27.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I first actually got into this topic
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.28,0:00:30.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I heard about \Nthe Ebola outbreak last year.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.11,0:00:32.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it turns out that although Ebola\Nspreads through
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.85,0:00:35.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these more range-limited,\Nlarge droplet routes,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.30,0:00:37.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's all these other \Nsorts of diseases
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.40,0:00:39.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that can be spread \Nin the airplane cabin.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.56,0:00:42.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The worst part is when we\Ntake a look at some of the numbers,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.81,0:00:44.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's pretty scary.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.32,0:00:46.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So with H1N1,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.09,0:00:48.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there was this guy who decided \Nto go on the plane
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.46,0:00:50.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the matter of a single flight,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.33,0:00:52.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually spread the disease\Nto 17 other people.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.68,0:00:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then there was\Nthis other guy with SARS
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.96,0:00:56.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who managed to go \Non a 3-hour flight
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.98,0:00:59.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and spread the disease\Nto 22 other people.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.93,0:01:03.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's not exactly my idea\Nof a great super power.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.04,0:01:06.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we take a look at this,\Nwhat we also find is that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.64,0:01:09.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's very difficult to \Npre-screen for these diseases.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.75,0:01:11.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when someone actually\Ngoes on a plane,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.93,0:01:13.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they could be sick
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.21,0:01:15.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they could be in this latency period
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.27,0:01:17.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in which they could actually\Nhave the disease.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.65,0:01:19.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but not exhibit any symptoms.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.48,0:01:21.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they could, in turn,\Nspread the disease
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.49,0:01:23.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to so many other people\Nin the cabin.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.26,0:01:25.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how that actually works \Nis that right now
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.41,0:01:27.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we've got air coming in from\Nthe top of the cabin
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.73,0:01:30.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and from the side of the cabin\Nas you can see in the blue.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.56,0:01:34.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then also, that air goes out\Nthrough these very efficient filters
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.26,0:01:38.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that eliminate 99.97 percent\Nof pathogens near the outlets.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.14,0:01:40.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what happens right now, though,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.60,0:01:42.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that we have this \Nmixing air-flow pattern.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.78,0:01:44.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if someone were to actually sneeze,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.88,0:01:47.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that air would get swirled\Naround multiple times
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.92,0:01:51.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before it even has a chance\Nto go out through the filter.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.96,0:01:55.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought, clearly,\Nthis is a pretty serious problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.15,0:01:58.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't have the money\Nto go out and buy a plane,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.47,0:02:00.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I decided to build\Na computer instead.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.92,0:02:04.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It actually turns out that with\NComputational Fluid Dynamics,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.64,0:02:07.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we're able to do is create\Nthese simulations
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.17,0:02:09.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that give us higher resulutions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.35,0:02:13.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than actually physically going in\Nand taking readings in the plane.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.14,0:02:15.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how, essentially, this works is\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.09,0:02:17.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would start out with\Nthese 2D drawings --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.45,0:02:20.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these are floating around\Nin technical papers around the Internet.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.57,0:02:23.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I take that and then I put it into \Nthese 3D-modeling software,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.86,0:02:25.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really building that 3D model.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.82,0:02:29.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I divide that model\Nthat I just built into these tiny pieces,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.21,0:02:32.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,essentially meshing it so that\Nthe computer can better understand it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.90,0:02:37.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I tell the computer where\Nthe air goes in and out of the cabin,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.26,0:02:38.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throw in a bunch of physics,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.68,0:02:44.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and basically sit there and wait until\Nthe computer calculates the simulation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.23,0:02:47.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what we get with \Nthe conventional cabin is this:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.57,0:02:51.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll notice the middle person sneezing,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.08,0:02:54.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we go "Splat!", it goes\Nright into people's faces.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.60,0:02:56.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's pretty disgusting.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.53,0:02:59.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And from the front, you'll notice\Nthose two passengers
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.45,0:03:01.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sitting next to the central passenger,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.52,0:03:03.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not exactly having a great time.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.32,0:03:05.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we take a look\Nat that from the side,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.76,0:03:09.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll also notice those pathogens\Nspreading across the length of the cabin.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.87,0:03:13.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first thing that I thought was,\N"This is no good."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.14,0:03:16.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I actually conducted \Nmore than 32 different simulations
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.11,0:03:19.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ultimately, I came up\Nwith this solution right here.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.08,0:03:22.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what I call a\Npatent-pending Global Inlet Director.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.98,0:03:25.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With this, we're able to reduce\Npathogen transmission
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.74,0:03:27.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by about 55 times
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.18,0:03:30.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and increase fresh air- inhalation \Nby about 190 percent.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.71,0:03:33.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how this actually works is
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.08,0:03:35.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would install this piece\Nof composite material
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.40,0:03:38.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into these existing spots\Nthat are already in the plane.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.33,0:03:40.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very cost-effective\Nto install
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.51,0:03:41.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we can do this directly overnight.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.100,0:03:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All we have to do is put\Na couple of screws in there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.74,0:03:45.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you're good to go.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.88,0:03:48.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the results that we get\Nare absolutely amazing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.31,0:03:51.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead of having those problematic\Nswirling air patterns,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.80,0:03:54.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we have is we can create\Nthese walls of air
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.16,0:03:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that come down in between \Nthe passengers
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.16,0:03:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to create these \Npersonalized breathing zones.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.74,0:04:01.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you'll notice that if the\Nmiddle passenger here is sneezing again,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.04,0:04:03.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but this time, we're able to\Neffectively push that down
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.65,0:04:06.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the filters for elimination.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.68,0:04:08.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the same thing from the side,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.78,0:04:11.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're able to directly\Npush those pathogens down.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.88,0:04:15.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you take a look again now\Nat the same scenario
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.17,0:04:17.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but with this innovation installed,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.03,0:04:19.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll notice the middle passenger\Nsneezes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.10,0:04:22.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this time, we're pushing \Nthat straight down into the outlet
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.35,0:04:25.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before it gets a chance\Nto infect any other people.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.26,0:04:28.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you notice the two passengers\Nsitting next to the middle guy
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.36,0:04:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are breathing virtually\Nno pathogens at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.43,0:04:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Take a look at that \Nfrom the side as well,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.05,0:04:35.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a very efficient system.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.63,0:04:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in short, with this system,\Nwe win.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.28,0:04:41.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we take a look\Nat what this means,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.98,0:04:44.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we also see is that\Nthis not only works
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.21,0:04:45.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if the middle passenger sneezes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.96,0:04:48.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also if the window seat \Npassenger sneezes
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.50,0:04:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or if the aisle seat\Npassenger sneezes.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.47,0:04:54.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so with this solution, what does\Nthis mean for the world?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.58,0:04:59.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we take a look\Nat this from the computer simulation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.38,0:05:00.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into real life,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.64,0:05:03.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can see from with this\N3D model that I built over here
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.50,0:05:05.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,essentially using 3D printing,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.61,0:05:11.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can see those same air flow patterns\Ncoming down right to the passengers.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.13,0:05:14.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the past, the SARS epidemic\Nactually cost the world
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.31,0:05:16.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about 40 billion dollars,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.12,0:05:19.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the future, a big disease\Noutbreak could actually
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.28,0:05:22.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cost the world an excess\Nof 3 trillion dollars.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.14,0:05:25.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So before, it used to be that\Nyou had to take an airplane
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.25,0:05:27.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out of service for one-to-two months,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.43,0:05:29.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spend tens of thousands\Nof man hours,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.53,0:05:32.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and several million dollars\Nto try to change something.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.45,0:05:36.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But now, we're able to install\Nsomething, essentially overnight,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.12,0:05:37.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and see results right away.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.76,0:05:40.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's really now a matter of taking\Nthis through to cetification,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.80,0:05:41.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,flight testing,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.96,0:05:44.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and going through all of these\Nregulatory approvals processes.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.90,0:05:46.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it just really goes to show
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.50,0:05:50.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that sometimes the best solutions\Nare the simplest solutions.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.37,0:05:53.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And two years ago, even,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.34,0:05:55.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this project would not have happened
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.06,0:05:57.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just because the technology then\Nwould not have supported it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.92,0:06:00.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But now with advanced computing
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.29,0:06:02.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how developed our Internet is,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.30,0:06:07.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so the question I ask all \Nof you today is,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.72,0:06:10.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Together, we can build the future, today.
