I’m thinking this technology could remove some of the barriers to cycling as commuter transportation.
and also how much electric power could be saved in laundry (hot water)…
I just picked this up for $20 (on sale), with the initial idea of keeping my cycling/workout clothes fresh.
I’ve had it for 2 days now, and it does actually work, even with humidity levels in the 70-90% range in recent days. Apparently cheaper units use corona discharge which suffers in humidity > 60% whereas UV units are immune to the humidity.
What I’ve done is put the unit on high inside a plastic tub with some sweaty t-shirts etc and with a cardboard lid to keep the O3 inside as much as possible. Overnight the stink is mostly gone although it’s does leave a sterile/bland smell. That’s my observation so far. I’m hoping it will do even better when summer and dryer air returns …
