코로나바이러스 감염 방지 웨어러블 VIDEO: Chinese architect unveils a personal bubble that heats up to temperatures high enough to KILL the coronavirus
Chinese architect unveils a personal bubble that heats up to temperatures high enough to KILL the coronavirus
The coronavirus started spreading last year and has infected thousands of people since
Now, a Chinese architect has released a concept that mimics bat wings in order to protect the public
The Be a Batman wearable consists of a fiber frame shaped like bat wings that is worn like a backpack
It has UV lights that heat up to temperatures high enough to kill any pathogens in the air
A thermoplastic material stretches between the supports and encases the wearer in a personal bubble

코로나바이러스 감염 방지 웨어러블 전 세계에 퍼진 코로나바이러스는 박쥐에서 비롯됐으며 한 중국 건축가는 대중을 질병으로부터 보호하기 위해 면역력을 유지하는 생물들의 능력에서 영감을 얻고 있다. 건축가인 Dayong Sun이 디자인한 비 어 배트맨(Be a Batman)이라는 이 웨어러블은 박쥐 날개 모양의 섬유로 구성돼 배낭처럼 착용할 수 있다. 열가소성 플라스틱 재료인 이 섬유는 지지대 사이에 펼쳐져 있고 착용자가 코로나바이러스에 감염되지 않도록 버블로 감싸고 있다. 이 장치에는 공기 중의 병원균을 죽일 수 있을 정도로 높은 온도로 가열되는 자외선이 장착되어 있어 밀폐된 살균 환경을 만든다. 그러나 세계보건기구(WHO)는 이런 종류의 방사선이 피부 자극을 일으킬 수 있으므로 피부 부위에 자외선 램프를 사용해서는 안 된다는 점에 주목했다. 비록 그 디자인은 코로나바이러스 발병을 일으킨 범인을 흉내내지만, 연구결과는 박쥐들이 그 질병에 어느 정도 면역이 되어 있다는 것을 보여준다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

The coronavirus spreading across the globe may have originated from bats and a Chinese architect is pulling inspiration from these creatures' ability to stay immune in order to protect the public from the illness.
Designed by Dayong Sun, the Be a Batman wearable consists of a fiber frame shaped like bat wings that is worn like a backpack.
A thermoplastic material stretches between the supports and encases the wearer in a personal bubble to protect them from contracting the coronavirus.
The contraption is fitted with UV lights that heat up to temperatures high enough to kill any pathogens in the air, resulting in an enclosed sterilized environment.
However, the World Health Organization has noted that UV lamps should not be used on areas of skin as this type of radiation can cause skin irritation.

Although the design mimics the culprit that caused the coronavirus outbreak, research shows that bats are mildly immune to the illness.
This is due to their flight capabilities, as they can increase their body temperature to 104 degrees Fahrenheit and also have a fast metabolism that curbs the spread of disease and pathogens in the air.
