Video: Thai professor comes up with a cheap "UV light" to beat the virus

[tifino]

 mrs wanted to give me a Bah Bah Bor clip o'er the ear'ole when we got to the supermarkets; when I insisted on grabbing one of the hot shopping trolleys sitting in the Sun! 

Couldn't convince her anger to quell, with my suggestion the sun rays have a lot of fringe benefits UV init - better than a Dentists steriliser box? (if left out in the sunshine for long enough?

All you need to do is get a UV tube for about 900 baht, turn it on for a bit then it's all clear

Well thats sorted that then .. 

 

But will a lightsabre do as I don't have a U V tube ..

Yes, if you have space, air clothes and bedsheets outside in that free UV.

 

Get yourself out in it too, free Vit-D can't hurt.

 

Cheaper yes but not always convenient,or safe from pilfering types.

A Google search with his name showed nothing else than this post on TV. 

 

Considering HOW these Professors get their PhD's, for example in the Philippines, speaks more than a thousand words.

 

There's no information on the internet about a guy who found THE solution? 5555555555555555555555555555555555

 

   Those who believe that he's right should read some more interesting stuff of people who know their shi+e.

Unfortunately, UV water purifiers need to be run in tandem with filters, otherwise nasty oocytes such as giardia and cryptosporidia visit the intestinal tract. Your travails in Buriram would feel like a week in Hoo the Hef's Playboy mansion in comparison.

Me, I keep it simple. If I want clean water, I boil it.

Thanks Mr. Gryllis, Ive had it.

I saw a program once, years ago, where Russian surgeons used this method to operate on a woman in her living room as she couldn't be moved to a hospital, they had to sterilise her living room first using UV before using the knife. The Thai prof probably saw the same program.

When you know the professionalism of Thai electricians, it is obviously scary.

It's well documented that UV light will kill many viruses.

The American Council on Science and Health agrees with him.

He was probably trying out his own installation and too busy for TVF.

What a cute virus!

[madmitch]

Stops coronavirus but attracts the mossies so you get dengue instead!

[faraday]

And of course, if you already have the virus, you can put the UV light stick up yer....

 

Ok, you get the general idea.

[DrTuner]

People with aquariums have been using these germicidal lights for ages.

[BigT73]

This is how they are sterilizing the hospitals in Wuhan with robots and their public buses, also plane carriers are disinfecting via UVC light. Don't know how this professor claims to have come up with this??    This was used successfully for MERS and SARS

 

This is a good way to clean disposable masks as they have tested washing them, with filtration losses by up to 20% even just by soaking.

 

If anyone is serious in purchasing one cheaply,  it has to be UVC (not uva or uvb) as the light is in the 254nm zone which kills the germs.  They do sell them marked for this already but are massively overpriced.  A cheap way to do it is to buy fish tank UVC lights on shopee.  Kill time is 10 secs about 4 inches away.

 

I just bought 2 for 290baht each

I've seen him before.

Actually there are UV-C lamps for sale with 10 seconds countdown and 30 minutes timer that are told to kill viruses and bacteria in about 5 metre radius from about 500 to about 12000 baht for more sophisticated models (such that have automatic shutters, sensors to detect any people walking in, etc.

 

Got mine from Lazada but Chinese online retailers also sell many of them.

 

264 nm UV light is apparently very effective at killing viruses and bacteria. Posted link 2 months ago when this started, can't bother to find it now. It was research done post SARS epidemic.
