FYCOS
Fycos is an air purifier who works with a natural process called, Phothosynthesis. 
This process helps to purify the air while oxygen molecules are produced.
Simulating this natural process by artifitial components, users can control photosynthesis in Fycos. To use that when they want or they need. Generating a protected and safe space for your breathing health inside home.
THE PROBLEM
One of the major sources of pollution in urban environments comes from industries and transportation with fossil energy sources that cause CO2 emissions. This fact affect not only our selfs when we are outside, our air inside our houses is equaly affected. This is the reason why we developed Fycos.
THE SOLUTION
Algaes Photosynthesis: It is proved that algaes achieve 50 times more photosynthetic capacity than regular plants. For this reason we use this natural advantage to regenerate and purify the air in our homes.

EXHALATION NOZZLE
OXYGEN AS A RESULT OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
EVAPORATION HOLES 
Once in a while the sphere requires water. Due to evaporation the water levels start to  decrease inside. 
WATER GROOVE
Using a syringe on the frontal blue groove, every two weeks the users should refill the sphere with 60 mL of water, to avoid the contamination of the Fycos enviroment.
