A filter.....then it needs maintenance? How will that work here?

They probably don't have any filters installed (Thai version, install and forget), so they don't have to do any maintenance! ????

It would be like a straw in a bucket of drink , more comes along to replace what is sucked in .

They didn't think about the vacuum effect.... or do they think Bangkok is contained within a bubble and once the air is clean job done?

So have they finally given up 'clamping down' on knackered bangers belching thick black exhaust smoke into the air, people burning rubbish, clearing land by burning willy-nilly, or trying to educate the population about Clean Air Policies and Practices for this wonder solution?

<deleted> !!! How much carbon fuel does it take to run that piece of sh.t?!!

The 60 meter high one in China is solar powered.... it does not say what powers the huge Thai version?

 

There will be more of these (if the Govt is getting a kick back), which will only work for a short time before it packs up due to lack of maintenance and coughs its last gasp.... choked by the pollution.

 

Every one of us has an electric fan... how about tomorrow we all point our fans facing North East and blow the pollution back to Isaan?

In my country, electrical bicycles are winning a lot in popularity for daily commuting.
They can go fast with almost no effort and they are handled more easily then heavy motorcycles, so anyone can use them.

Would be nice to see these introduced in thai cities.

Of course, the question is how massive battery waste would impact environment, but at least we will have cleaner air while thinking about that problem.

So many countries have not been able so far to work out the recycling of batteries from EVs, imagine the battery issue for Asia should electric bikes become popular.

Throw them in the ocean! At least sink to bottom unlike plastic bags!

Where I live in central Thailand, there are always smouldering heaps creating lots of smoke. Not burning cleanly just smouldering away for hours, often with green waste, sometimes plastic. And we have a neighbour who creates them right on the fenceline... (These are facts, not Thai-bashing.)

As all those batteries are generally re-charged overnight the power stations that used to run on reduced load during darkness now have to produce more electricity burning more fuel, coal/oil/gas, producing more CO2 etc.

As others have posted, the old batteries are very difficult to re-cycle and that points to a possible big pollution problem coming up.

Someone convince me all these 'advances' are going to make things cleaner and greener.
