Abstract

A photo-catalyzing fluid mobilizing system and method are disclosed. A chamber has a power source. A fluid mobilizer is mounted in the chamber and connected with the power source to mobilize a fluid through the chamber. The fluid mobilizer includes one or more fan blades that are coated with a photo catalyst. A UV light source is mounted in the chamber proximate the fluid mobilizer and connected with the power source to catalyze the photo catalyst coating the blades to purifier the fluid being mobilized thereover.

Claims (7)

1. A system for mobilizing and photo-catalyzing a fluid, the system comprising:

a chamber having a power source;

a fluid mobilizer mounted in the chamber and connected with the power source to mobilize a fluid through the chamber, the fluid mobilizer including one or more longitudinal fan blades that are coated with a photo catalyst; and

an ultra-violet (UV) light source mounted in the chamber proximate the fluid mobilizer and connected with the power source to catalyze the photo catalyst coating the blades to purify the fluid being mobilized thereover, the UV light source including one or more UV lamps, wherein at least one of the one or more UV lamps is disposed within the longitudinal fan blades, such that the longitudinal fan blades rotate about the at least one of the one or more UV lamps and form a passageway between the at least one of the one or more UV lamps and an inner surface of the one or more longitudinal fan blades, and wherein the fluid is mobilized through the passageway between the at least one of the one or more UV lamps and the inner surface of the one or more longitudinal fan blades.

2. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the fluid is water, and wherein a strength of the UV light source is adjustable to adapt to the reflective and refractive qualities of the water.

3. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein an interior surface of the chamber includes a UV reflective surface.

4. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the at least one of the one or more longitudinal fan blades includes a UV reflective surface.
