Hello All!
Probably a pretty strange question. Im a Firefighter actually, and a lot of wildland firefighters are looking at some sort of "SCBA design" to protect their airways. So I had a crazy idea and didnt know where to go for help so I figured I'd ask you all. How possible would it be to design an Electrostatic precipitator to be used in a mask? Would it require too much power? Too much weight? It works in large scale smoke stacks but does it scale down to something that could fit in or around a mask that a wildland firefighter could wear?
Sincerely,
