A Bangkok design company has developed a concept bicycle which purifies polluted air as you pedal down the streets. The bike, which is still in the early concept stages, will reportedly be able to generate oxygen through a ‘photosynthesis system’ -- the reaction between water and the electric power of a lithium-ion battery. A filter located between the handlebars will then remove particulate matter from polluted air, releasing clean air towards the rider. The bike is even able to continue cleaning the air while it is parked, using its battery power.
