# Filter-Free Air Purifiers The Luft Qi is a Compact Air Purifier Powered by Nanotechnology By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-05-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filterfree-air-purifier References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tituswayne-launches-luft-qi-filter-free-air-purifier-on-indiegogo-300635298.html) & [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/luft-qi-the-smallest-filterless-air-purifier) Taiwanese start-up Titus&Wayne recently introduced its filter-free air purifier Luft Qi on Indiegogo as a compact device to remove mold, bacteria, viruses, toxic chemicals and other airborne pollutants with nanotechnology. The [compact air purifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hushjet-compact-purifier) is about the size and shape of a canned beverage and may be plugged into a USB port to activate the device, which boasts [360-degree air intake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-puricare-aerobooster) and a patented nano-reactor. Although there are many purifiers powered by [HEPA filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airmega-350-and-450), Titus&Wayne has found that these filters have a tendency to trap bacteria and mold, as well as harvest microorganisms. In place of a filter, Titus&Wayne co-founder Titus Chang describes that Luft Qi "utilizes the latest UV LED technology together with nano-photocatalyst through an IP protected reaction chamber" to provide ongoing air cleaning from every angle. Titus&Wayne has already surpassed its initial crowdfunding goals for Luft Qi by 322% with more than a dozen days left on its campaign. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Filter-free Air Purifiers:** The trend of filter-free air purifiers is disrupting the air purifier industry by offering a more efficient and effective alternative to traditional filter-based air purifiers. - **Nanotechnology-powered Air Purifiers:** The trend of nanotechnology-powered air purifiers is disrupting the air purifier industry by providing more powerful air purification solutions. - **UV LED Technology:** The trend of UV LED technology in air purification is disrupting the air purifier industry by providing an alternative to filter-based air purification systems. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Air Purifier Industry:** The air purifier industry can benefit from integrating nanotechnology and UV LED technology into their products for a more effective and efficient air purification solution. - **Healthcare Industry:** The healthcare industry can benefit from the use of advanced air purification technology to provide a healthier and safer environment for patients, healthcare workers, and visitors. - **Home Appliance Industry:** The home appliance industry can benefit from the use of nanotechnology and UV LED technology in air purifiers to offer consumers more advanced air purification solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordable Portable Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pureaura.md) - [Battery-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreo-macro-pro.md) - [Water-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airsancta.md) - [Medical-Grade Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quair-plasma-go.md) - [Plasma Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumikaze.md) - [Circular Minimalist Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iqair-atem-x.md) - [Technology-Packed Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-and-humidifier.md) - [Compact Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airmega-50.md) - [Technology-Charging Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coway-airmega-icon.md)
